APEX WINS COURT FIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK By C. A. B. "Editor, Hollywood News "Dear Editor—My blood boiled when I read of the market here that was fined $250 because it refused to serve a Negro a cup of coffee and a sandwich. No court in the South would be guilty of such a decision. If it were, some judge would be just out of luck. "I like Negroes, but I believe they should not make themselves obnoxious. They should not try to elbow their way into every place that white men have built for white men. They have a right to live, but they do not need to insist on eating with white people. "They have the same right to object to the white man mixing around in their haunts." "President Harding, in his famous Birmingham speech, said every Negro should strive to be a good Negro, and not a poor white man. There are too many in this city trying to be white men. "Of course, what can we expect when we make our judges dependent upon votes for continuance in office? They now forget the principles of law and justice, and determine cases on the basis of political excellence. "I have nothing against the Negroes. In fact, I like them. They are so human. What could be more human than the Negro who works swinging a pick and shovel all week, then spends his salary over the week-end on chicken and watermelon, and then goes to work Monday morning, not knowing how he is going to exist the rest of the week, but singing merely just the same. —NORDIC" These are Negroes, and a plenty of them, who believe that we will take our place in the body politic by being good. They go so far as to say that we hinder rather than help our cause by agitation—while we respect the opinion of those who so think—on the other hand we believe that we must light if we hope to reign. --- I DO NOT hesitate to respond to Mr. or Mrs. Nordic's blood boiling protest against the decision of a Judge who dares to deal with the law as it is written that every man should enjoy his inalienable right which entitles him to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now, Mr. Nordic, it makes my blood boil also to think that in a country I call my own, because of the fact that I have lived here for more than five hundred years, there should also be in it, such as you—willing to boast of the fact that you are Nordic, and as such superior, evidently you are not able to analyze the facts concerning creation, and know that in the Divine plan—man, not Nordics, Black nor Red men, just men, were created. While the geographic classification gave the white man the North and Black men the South, no restrictions have ever been brought about in a conference by these two groups as to whether either or each should move around as they see fit. The Indian or Red man, who once occupied what is now known as the United States was without a doubt original ya part of the Black family of mankind. When he was routed out by this so-called Nordic along with the white man cam ethe Black man and the United States since the coming of Columbus has been the melting pot for all nations and peoples. It is neither the original home of the White or Black man but the home of the American people, and may I enlighten this Nordic that there are countries in the world where such as he or she may be more at home than the United States, and also that if the prejudicial atmosphere of the Southern Section of this country is more to his or her liking why not stay there and not attempt to stop the wheel of justice under the law, in our beautiful California as it grinds out a bigger and better spirit of love for all even as He loved us. May I also enlighten you, Mr. Nordic, that the "Uncle Tom, Take-Ye-No-Heed of To-morrow, Watermelon-eating Negro" has gone forever, and the New Negro, cultured as you can never be, takes his place in Civilization's onward march of progress, and (Continued on Page Three) --- Elks Prepare For Arrival of J. Finley Wilson VISIT OF GRAND EXALTED RULER TO BE CROWNED AS RECORD BREAKER The coming visit of the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C. promises to be one of the stellar events of the present decade. Mr. Wilson is not only an outstanding national character, but has made a record which will stand for all time in internal effort. He is recognized and acknowledged to be without a peer in the genius of organizing. Such a character draws the people unto them, for indeed the people are always eager to see and meet those who DO THINGS. COME TO SET UP STATE ASSOCIATION The Grand Exalted, Ruler's visit at this time is primarily for the purpose of setting up and putting in operation a state Association of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., thereby giving California and Jurisdiction a Grand Lodge of Elks. This ceremony will take place January 30 and 31. On the 29th he will be the guest of Golden West Lodge No. 80 and the principle speaker at its annual Memorial services. On this occasion the huge parade will be augmented by the various delegates from throughout the Jurisdiction who will be here in attendance upon the Association, also several drill teams and bands. In fact it promises to be the greatest turnout of any fraternal effort ever held on the Coast. WILL CONCLUDE WITH GALA AFFAIR The closing day of the Association New Year's eve will feature the Grand Ball to be given at the Shrine Auditorium to which the public is invited. The State Association will spare no pains or expense to make this the greatest, most gorgeous and gala affairs ever given in the West. The ELks are known for their ability to put over big things and nobody doubts but what they will do everything they say and more. HUGE BANQUET PLANNED Monday evening, December 30, Golden West Lodge No. 86 and Ha- watha Temple No. 91 will stage a monster banquet in honor of the Exalted Ruler who also promise to be an outstanding feature of his visit. Everybody is feverishly waiting hi- coming and there is no question that he will receive a mighty welcome. Business and the Square Deal We have had a deal to say about recognition, consideration and the Square Deal, we expect to continue to do so and fight it out along this line regardless of conditions until we get at least a semblance of the same. Now we have amongst our group quite a few businesses which are not receiving the support even from their own people that is due them. We say this advisedly for the ones we have in mind carry just as good, just as fresh, just as reasonable prices as any other stores. This being so, then what reason can our people conjure up in not giving to these stores a hearty support. We particularly refer to Young's Grocery at 15th and Central Ave.; The Pyramid Cooperative Stores, 2604 Central Ave. and Gray's Store at Central Ave. and 38th street. You have a living demonstration that no matter what your per cent of trade with the white stores, they are not going to employ your boys and girls. "Then it is clearly up to you to patronize your own stores and make a place for them yourself. Try the suggestion and draw down dividends on the same. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1929 The Local Board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stands as one of the sponsors for the First Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Negro Art, which is directly brought forth by the California Art Club. The Exhibit will be held at the Southern California Art Club, Barnsdale Park, 1645 North Vermont avenue, commencing Sunday, December 1st in the afternoon from 2:30 to 5 P.M., also on the afternoon at the same hour for Wednesday, December 4th, Sunday, December 5th, and Wednesday, December 11th. On the evenings of the following days and dates from 8 P.M. to 10:30 P.M. Tues., Dec. 2:10; Friday Dec. 6:13, and Children's Day, December 14th, from 2 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. There will be music on each afternoon and evening under the direction of Richard D. Mann. Also each evening there will be short addresses by various speakers of both races stressing the field of Art as exemplified by the Negro and his attainment. PURPOSE OF EXHIBIT To create wider interest in the work of the Negro artist as a contribution to American culture. To stimulate him to aim for the highest standards of achievement. This exhibit has been secured thru the efforts of William Edouard Scott, a Negro artist of Chicago, known for his mural paintings. Mr. Scott assembled and sent to the coast work of several different eastern artists, including his own, for the purpose of adding the interracial Committee to bring to the attention of the American public the achievement of members of the Negro race in the field of art. To the eastern collection has been added the work of a few California artists—the sculptor, Sergeant Johnson, of Berkeley, pastels done by Conlance Phillips of Los Angeles and architectural drawings by A. F. Paynes and Paul K. Williams of Los Angeles. In addition the work of a few Los Angeles people is shown, chiefly craft work. The desire of the local body to participate in this very important and inspiring occasion came from the happy suggestion of Dr. Elzora Gibson, member of the Exec. Committee, to present an all Negro Art Exhibit, and we are sure the people of this community will join in the spirit of the occasion and turn out in large numbers, which means real and lasting advancement for the Colored people. There is no admission charge and the sponsors are: The California Art Club; California Branch of National Music Assoc.; N. A. A. C. P.; Colored Women's Federated Clubs. So. Div.; Fellowship of Reconciliation; Japan American Society; Inter-Racial Society; in cooperation with the following persons: Mable Wing-Castle; Beulah Stors Lewis; Mrs. W. A. Whitmore; Antionette Sable; Mrs. C. A. Bass; Mrs. A. Hill; Dr. H. C Hudson; L. G. Robinson; Mrs. M. S. Nelson; Helen Werner. OLD TIMER IN AUTO ACCIDENT OLD TIMER IN AUTO ACCIDENT Saturday evening, November 23rd, about 9 P. M. Mr. E. L. Chew sustained a painful accident from reckless driving on Jefferson street in front of his home. He dismounted from an auto on the North side of the street and was struck while attempting to cross. The momentum of the car was so great that it lifted Mr. Chew over the radiator hood and plunged him into the windshield, demolishing the windshield in a shower of glass; then dropped him face downward on the parkway in front of his home. He sustained serious and painful injuries. Two cuts on his head, fracture of the right forearm, dislocation of the shoulder and contusions from his neck to his knees. The nature of his spinal and internal injuries have not been determined by his physician. He is located at the Dunbar Hospital where everything will be done to assure his recovery. APEX NIGHT CLUB WINS SMASHING VICTORY AS POLICE COMMISSION DISMISS CHARGES FILED BY POLICE TO REVOKE PERMIT THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SUPPORTING A PROGRAM FOR HOME-OWNED HOMES. THE PROGRAM, which is being funded by the city, will provide housing for low-income residents. The mayor is also encouraging residents to participate in the program by volunteering their time and skills. No more popular verdict has ever been rendered by the Los Angeles Police Commission than the one which was rendered by that august body on last Tuesday when it dismissed the action which had been filed by the Police to revoke its permit of the Apex Nite club. On the very face of things the attempt to crucify the Apex looked shady. It locked like a preconceived and well laid plot to destroy this particular club, in spite of the fact that it was conducted on a much higher plane than four-fifths of like establishments. In other words it was a case of Mosby being a colored man; he was in somebody's way, or somebody wanted him out of the way which ever way one would want to put it. But when these conspirators went up against this present Police Commission with that sort of program they went up against a stone wall. The "nothing doing banner" was unfurled to the breezes, for they said in words that could be understood by all, that every man regardless of his race, color or creed shall receive a square deal at these portals. It was this thought which prevailed and upon which their judgment was rendered. It has been a long time since Justice has asserted itself as in the present case against Curtis Mosby, owner of the Apex club. Overwhelmed was he as he stood fighting FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT MATHIS (By JULIUS C. HILL) Special to the California Eagle. Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 25.—The Music Lovers club of the Magic City, began its triumphant march of the season in the development of fine art within the music haven, Tuesday evening on presenting two of the foremost artists of America. Mme. Talbert sang to a crowded house of music lovers—there was positively no available space for seating on the first floor of the auditorium balcony. She began her program by singing the famous classic, "Aliehla" from the rich composition of Mozart. This number was well suited as an introduction of the artist to her enthusiastic audience for the evening. This selection was followed by two others from Schubert, the best of with his back to the wall, harried and honoured by the Cossack Police, pursued by shysters, grafters and parasites, the fair minded and just Police Commissioners saw the situation and boldly without fear or favor said—AWAY WITH THIS and to Curtis Mosby said—GO YOUR WAY AND SIN NO MORE. Therefore when we say it was a most popular decision our readers might well visualize the vicious forces which demanded the crucifixion of the Apex club and the greedy monsters which expected to profit thereby. They will further appreciate the satisfaction which it gives to the people, that the present city administration had demonstrated its sincere endeavors to render unto all peoples a real and evenharded justice. The decision in this case is a warning to the cheap political hustlers, shyster and grafters that they are held in utter contempt and that henceforth all people will stand upon their merit. Therefore we consider the decision in this case far-fetched and it ushers into being a new day when the man fartherest down can raise up in hope and expectation for the same opportunities and the same justice which is rendered unto all. Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth handled this case in a most masterly man- (Continued on Page Three) ERT AND MATTIE TRIUMPH IN RECITAL which was entitled, "The Earl Kings" which was rendered in beautiful style, Mme. Talbert's rich cultured voice added much tone and color to the selection; the theme pictured a state of war, marked by much prancing of also discovered that she had loved an enemy of her country; and wrestled with these dark thoughts that held her in a delimma. This effect on that beautiful queen was brought out in the fine operatic style by Mme. Talbert. Her performance proved that she had much operatic experience; sung in Italian which many in the audience could not understand, but they could follow the artist through the portrayal of this love tragedy. To add variety to the program, the heroine gave the music lovers a se (Turn To Page Ten) OUR CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION! As we move on with head erect in quest at all times only for justice and a square deal, we are forced to call attention to the very unfair and unjust conduct of both of the Civil Service Commissions for Los Angeles County and City. From the many complaints which come to our notice we have no hesitancy in making the statement that the County Civil Service Commission rules with discrimination and unfairness toward the colored applicants who enter into competitive examinations before them, and the giving out or ratings. Departing from its former gesture for recognition by designating occasionally members of our group for jonitors, the present Board has even withdrawn that consideration. More than that we are confronted with the proposition that for some positions they have placed a barrier stronger than General Joffre threw up at the rates of Paris when he spoke the immortal words: "Thou Shalt Not Pass." "ME TOO" CITY CIVIL SER VICE COMMISSION Moving on we find the City Civil Service Commission not one jot nor title behind the county in its unfairness. As a matter of fact we find far more complaints in this respect than come from the County. Only recently the examination for Police promotion wherein several of our very efficient, experienced and well educated veterans of the police force took the examinations were even ruthlessly eliminated before reaching the oral quizzes. One of these in particular we would put up against any individual on the force, before any fair and square examiners to examine him and wager he would equal, if not surpass, them. But before this present unfair Civil Service Commission he or any other of our group is disqualified before they start. Now, this is all wrong and should not be. We are calling the attention of our very fair Board of Supervisors to a situation which exists at this time and feel that we shall not appear to them in vain. We want no preference, all we want is a square deal, strictly upon merit. Likewise we expect to call the attention of Mayor John C. Porter to the City Civil Service Commission and as the terms of these who are putting in vogue these discriminatory tactics expire, that he will see to it that men and women are put on these Commissions who will give to every citizen their just dee—A FAIR AND SQUARE DEAL. Fred C. Dudley Completes Modern Court Buildings on East 28th Street Mr. Fred C. Dudley, one of our very energetic and progressive business men, who conducts the Dudley Tallorina establishment located at 2508 Central avenue, has just completed one of the most modern and complete four flat courts of which our city boasts. The Dudley courts are located at 1125 East 28th street just east of Central avenue. They are both pleasing to the eye in beauty as well as in architectural design. They were plied by Mr. Dudley and his estimable wife, Mrs. Medline Dudley and the rest was the handwork of Mr. Clarence E. Smith, well known local architect. The interior of the very exquisite three-room apartments exclusive of the bath room, is in strict conformity with the beautiful exterior, the front room of each is finished in gold bronze and other rooms in delicate tints with a kitchen which is unexcelled for convenience in its arrangement. We congratulate this young couple upon their accomplishment. Coming to this city only six years ago, by dint of perseverance and using common sense in the conduct of their business, they have demonstrated the possibilities which are in store for those who will strive to do the things worth while. Macon, Miss., Nov. 25—B yA.N.P. —Noxuube County was threatened with a labor disturbance which only ended when the alleged labor agents left hurriedly after a Negro had been taken out by a band of one hundred white men and severely flogged. The white labor agent, J. T. Wilson, said to be manager of Wirewood Plantation, a 7,000 acre farm near Greenwood, was given ten minutes to leave the county. The trouble started when Wilson and his agents signed twenty-three Negroes families to go to the Delta. Two freight cars had been bring-postponed. He is expected to recovering families and their belongings to Greenwood. When local business men and farmers found out what was going on on a large posse was formed early today and one of the Negro agents was taken to the outskirts of the town and beaten. The others escaped as did Wilson's chanffeur. Trouble was averted when Wilson also agreed to leave. He left without any families. There is a state law in Mississippi punishable with fine and imprisonment for a labor agent to engage white or colored help that is employed either with or without a contract, placed on the statute books for the purpose, it is said, to prevent Negro tenants and hired hands from leaving their places of employment, no matter how high the wages offered by another employer. In other words, in the "free South," slavery to a certain extent still exists. Detroit Paper Celebrates Fifth Year! Detroit Paper Celebrates Fifth Year! Detroit, Mich., Nov. 25—By A.N. P.—The Detroit Peoples News the most widely circulated and one of the most influential weekly newspaper in the city is observing its fifth anniversary as a successful journal. Having been founded November 12, 1925, since which time it has been edited by the owner, Mrs. Beulah A. Young, the Detroit Peoples News has become an institution in the community; a paper which measures up to the standards of conscientious journalism and feels that its duty to the public comes before all else. It has been an expounder of truth and a moulder of public opinion; a journal of free speech and honest purpose. Boasting of a complete plant with a corp of well-trained workers the Peoples News takes front rank with other outstanding Negro Periodicals. The Least Resistance The attack of least resistance which was hurled against the Apex Night Club failed when on last Tuesday the Police Commission refused to revoke its permit upon the request of the Cossack Police who had sought to destroy it by charging every arrest made between 5th and Central Ave. to Slusson Ave. against this club; and in addition to this, they made several spectacular raids, when they frisked the patrons for flasks upon the hip. Now, the only reason this attack of least resistance failed, was the further fact that the Police Commission as now constituted is made up of strong men. Men of honor; men of integrity. Men who will not stand by and see the weak crushed in favor of the powerful and great. Men who will not be fixed and carry out anybody's written program. Surely our present Police Commission sees and acts for itself in the interests of all the people, regardless of race, creed, religion or previous condition of servitude. Evelyn Preer, Andrew Bishop, Rupert Marks Their Best in "My Woman"; Powerful Drama, With Perfect Cast. Peerless CABS MUtual 4141 "My Woman," the current stage production at the Lincoln Theatre is a drama all showgoers should see, without fail. It holds you in its grasp from one scene to the other. There is not one dull moment the whole play. The acting is of the very best and it seems as if the famous Lafayette improve with each performance. And you throw when you can improve upon Laura Bowman and Evelyn Preer you are going some. STORY OF LOVE The story itself is a very strange one. And that could be about only one thing and that is love. Love is really strange, real love. You just don't know how to figure it and you can't, it must take its course and that is exactly what happened here. NOW TO GET ON WITH THE STORY The action opens in the beautiful residence of Retired Judge, Lloyd Ambrose (Barrington Carter). Mrs. Victoria Laned his sister (Laura Böman) lives with her brother and his daughter Judith Ambrose. The Judge has seen his share of public life and is now taking life easy, with no worries whatsoever. That is the thought he hadn't, but something out of the past was to come forth to hamper the judge in his pursuit of happiness and wonderful art exhibits, and that was Tiger Buck, a criminal or a man that was deemed guilty, he had sentenced while he was on the bench. Although he doesn't know it, the judge is harboring a criminal right in his home as his butler. Simpson the faithful butler is none other than Slippery Simp. Not only is Slippery a crook, but he is plotting with Tiger Buck, who is out of prison on good behavior, to kill the old judge. PLANS FAIL Tiger Buck is planted in the judge's home so that he may bump him off, but the plans ran around and instead of the judge being caught by Buck, his beautiful daughter, Judith, is. Tiger is enraged, because the judge doesn't show up. Judith guesses what he is there for and makes him a bargain a bargain that was hard to turn down. She offered to go with Buck as his woman if he would leave her father alone. The Tiger takes her upon her word and takes her to his two-room flat on the Eastside. Some real drama is enacted here. In that squiggle two-room hole one of the most powerful scenes ever witnessed takes place. The writer could tell you how the rich girl, used to every possible thing in the world got along with her man. The man she went away with as his woman, a criminal and a savage. I could tell you how the Tiger finally won the beautiful girl, heart, soul and body and finally married her and then to top it all brought her back to her father. I could tell you all this, but it would only spoil a great, in fact, a wonderful play for you. (DA N SHAW) It is an old, old story, that people are never satisfied. Let a man make a million on Wall street, and he goes broke trying to make another one or two. Give a poor man a Fliver and longs for a Rolls Royce. But you give a millionaire a Rolls Royce and he secretly wishes he could dodge in and out like a Fliver. Stepin Fetchit is a great comedian who would rather be doing tragedy than anything else. Carolyn Snowden is one of the most brilliant comediennes we have, yet she would give up almost everything to be a Great Actress. Curtis Mosby is doing famously as a floor producer, but he had to, be censored because he was too good a host. Tiger Flowers, world's champion fighter would rather have been a clergyman. Shine Scott, famous trainer and conditioner of Baseball players would rather have been a country school teacher. So then do they go. Not only along Central Avenue, the Ridito, but in every branch of the world's business. (By JOHN D. MERIDA) Oh ye vulturous hypocrit, come out from amongst us! Who found you out? Whp found you out? Why the big-eyed owl in the hickory tree. I may blink but I never sleep. I may see but never neep! Oh ye crayling, peeking Central Avenue stool pigeons, boobs and muskrats, why do you smile so graciously in the day and slink so cowardly in the nite? Why do you clasp our hands at noon-day, and with a demon dagger slush our throats at night? Why do you sit within our congregations and pray with us for justice and before daybreak you have added yourself with the demons of hell and injustice to prey upon our peaceful homes and places of amusements, and make yourself everything from a peeping Tom to a slipping jimo? Oh image of my race in stature but not in character, stool pigeons of radio gossipers and elwons of political bosses, vagabonds of justice and persecutors of human flesh, traitors to Negro advancement and a watch to fieloes for radio gossipers, may the Lord have mercy on your soul. Why do we remain inactive amidst the groans of injured humanity. The shrills and distressing -compliments of expiring justice and the keen remorse of polluted integrity. Why we do not rise through organized power to assert the principles of God and humanity and drive the fiend injustice into remote and distant regions and exterminate oppression from amongst us. Slavery and injustice from whatever point of light is considered repugnant to the feelings of nature and is inconsistent with the original rights of man. I should therefore be stigmatized for being unnatural and detested for being unjust. These facts are true. Wherever you find an organized group of Jewish people, you will find them discussing the industrial and financial problems; likewise wherever you find an organized group of Catholics, you will find them discussing the educational and religious problems. Likewise when you find a group of white Americans (with special reference to those below Mason and Dixon Line) you will find them savagely discussing the Negro problems. But since they are so wrapped up in ignorance and their brains so heated with the fire of prejudice and for fear we Negro citizens and taxpayers might have to help-build a few more insane asylums. I might be able to relieve their friendish passions by telling them that God made the Negro, and only God can and will solve his problems. As for us we are only demanding the whole family of rights that belong to all citizens of America. These are the problems that we are concerned about: Industrial Education; Economic; Political; Religious! No we are not worried about sending Christian missionaries to China, India or Africa, but we sometimes wonder if they would be safe in America especially below the Mason and Dixon Line where so many of them high-powered radio ministers originate from. Negro citizens pay no attention to their calls and recalls for the downward road is crowded with such fault-finnning souls. At the same time we gihly praise the four-square gospel and only wish it could be six square. We appreciate the fact that its leader can be called in to pray for a soul and administer kindness and sweetness to one who is in distress whose soul is heavy and weary but we detest any minister who can be called in to burn and scorch human flesh. We detest any minister who is a community gossiper, a meddler into other people's business, a boaster or knocker, by radio broadcast or what not. It is our desire to be peaceful and loyal citizens and we appreciate all who would live within these noble ideals. We want leadership that can stand the test and which will not fall short of their duty. We want leadership that when the honor roll is, called they will not be askance and hide themselves, but stand up like strong men women and receive their reward. We want representatives and if the ballot will give them to us, we are going to have them and we are coming 50000 strong with fifty more thousand in reserve. Mr. Candidate if we don't know you, we cannot use you and we can't quite know you just two weeks before election time. We must know you 365 days in each year; we must know you in your business life, your fraternal ROYAL GIANTS OUT TO REGAIN LOST GROUND ROYAL GIANTS OUT TO REGAIN LOST GROUND KELLY KARS TO MEET SAN LUIS GIANTS AND ROYAL GIANTS IN SUNDAY DOUBLE BILL life, your club life and your Christian life. We are determined to use the ballot as we have never used it before. We want all of our group both men and Women to register, don't fail to do this, it means too much to you to fail to do this. Prepare for war in time of peace. So let the political Clowns Sleep On. TENNESSEE WHITE HELD FOR MURDER Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 25—By A.N. P—An indictment on charges of murder of first degree was returned against J. H. Barrow, white street car conductor, in connection with the killing of Eugene Foggy, a church janitor. The verdict was returned after a short deliberation by the jury her Thursday morning. Barrow declared that Foggy boarded the car on the night of the killing and gave him a coin, which he declared was a nickel. Foggy, however, contended that the coin was a quarter and demanded his change. In the argument that followed, according to Borrow's version of the affair, Foggy was "insolent and impudent" and attempted to attack him. In self-defense he shot Foggy, killing him almost instantly. Witnesses testified that the killing of the church janitor was without provocation and that Foggy did not reach for any weapon as claimed by the slayer. The jury listened attentively to the testimony and returned a true bill against the white man. Foggy was well thought of here by citizens of both races. For a number of years he has served as janitor for one of the largest churches of the city and was returning home after doing his janitorial work on the night he was slain. He was described at the trial as a peaceful man who would always go out of his way to help someone in need regardless of race. An additional indictment on the charge of carrying a weapon was also returned against Barrow. SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES RESTLESS Cape Town, South Africa, Nov. 25 —By A.N.P.—In a secret movement, six hundred armed police from this city have been sent to Durham and concentrated on the outskirts of the city. It is rumored that a detachment of the South African Air Force has also been dispatched to Durban. Statistics will show that every great team will have at least some slump during a season, so the Philadelphia Royal Giants, as great as they are, have proved no exception to the general rule. The unfortunate thing is that they struck a slump and then had all their other misfortunes at the same crucial moment. Two weeks ago when they met Shell Off the Giants were minus their leading hitter in the person of Livingston and last week when they met the Pirrone All Stars and suffered a Saturday defeat of 7 to 2 and a Sunday defeat of 10 to 6, they were minus both Mackey and Holloway who had been the victims of minor injuries in an auto accident. But for the fine pitching of Cooper in the first game Sunday against the San Luis Giants it is doubtful that the Giants would have taken that game 7 to 1 without their regular lineup. The Royal Giant team will be in tact this week-end when they meet the Kelly Kars on Saturday and Sunday and expect to start all over again to regain their lost laurels. They start the week by playing both Los Angeles and then the Kelly Kars on Saturday and Sunday. A win of these three games will put the Giants back in the running for Championship during the first half. One of the features of the late season rush is the reserve strength which the other teams or the league are bringing to the front. Pirrone's All Stars have shown a determined disposition to win; the Kelly Kars have re-arranged their lineup several times and offer strong resistance and the new addition in the San Luis Giants have at last caught the winning stride and prove that they are a factor to be given serious consideration. The San Luis Giants had the misfortune of losing their first three games played by a one-run margin which nosed them out in the last inning. Each of the winter league teams have beat them by just one run. However, they shook off the links last week when they broke into the winning column by splitting a two-games series with the Royal Giants. Winning a game from the Royal Giants have given the San Luis boys the confidence that they can win from anybody and they are now showing the spirit of real fight. San Luis will have a chance for revenge on the Kelley Kars Sunday when they meet them in the first game of the double-header. by the South African whites who even refuse to allow them to do skilled labor or work at any vocation by which they can earn more than a bare existence has culminated it is said in the circulation of a circular calling for an uprising among the natives. The present trouble occurred over the levying of a poll tax on the natives which they in turn refused to pay. It is said that $88,200 is now overdue on the tax and that officers attempting to round up the defenders have met with stout resistance. The natives; also have boycotched the municipal beer halls where the British feed beer and liquor to the natives on the principle that if they can keep them stifled with drink they will be easier to handle and unable to gain an economic foothold. Some of the more liberal whites are said to have issued a warning that the vicious methods used by the English and Boers are sooner or later going to result in serious trouble. PLEDGES SQUARE DEAL TO Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 25—Bv A. N.P.—Considerable comment has been caused in church circles here by an address of Bishop W. T. Vernon who help the 12th Episcopal Conference at North Little Rock last week. "Under my administration, merit will count," said the Bishop. "Gang rule and oppression shall have no place; a man's work will decide his status and determine, his promotion. The men young, and old who do their work are to have the honors and the preferment. "The work of the ministry presents many problems and many worries, but it offers the greatest possibilities for human helpfulness. To meet these requirements we must have a prepared ministry. Leadership means preparation and those who are not prepared are not fit to lead others." A tablet commemorating the work done in rehabilitating Shorter College was unveiled recently by Mrs. Vernon, who is the daughter of the late Bishop Emby. Addresses were delivered by Scipio Jones, Dr. E. Kendall, and the following general officers: S. J. Wilson, secretary of the Church extension board, S. S. Morris of the A. C. E. League, and Mrs. S. C. Simmons of the Woman's Missionary Society. Bishop Vernon reports that for the district's work for the year in school, missionary, departmental, and dollar money is far in excess of last year's efforts. FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT (Continued from Page One) lection in Spanish. One would have thought the artist a Sororita, from the dreamy tales of America Del Sun. The third phase of the program, was entirely of piano selections by Mrs. Mathis. She captivated her audience by playing the difficult Hungarian Rhappody by Kamenoj Ostrow. Everyone's soul seemed to be lifted in grandeur, at the sound of the note. The audience was not pleased with Mrs. Mathis to leave the pianoforte, the horses, which interpretation was brought out very forcefully by the skill of the pianist. Mrs. Mathis' interpretation of the march of the horsemen reminded one of the entry of Napoleon's horsemen on the city of Moscow, as brought out in the noted Overture of 1812. The beauty of this difficult selection was brought out very plainly due to the skill of the master musician at the piano. The second part of the program was one of which Madame Talbert seemed to reach her Operatic climax of the evening. She rendered very forcefully, "Riturna Vincitor" (Return Victor) from the famous Italian Opera, "Aide" by Verdi, the theme of the opera was built around a love duel between the pretty Ethiopian Queen and her Egyptian Lover, who because of his skill in warfare won the love of this Black Queen, but she playing only the numbers specified according to the program. They bethought she must needs fill their hungry souls once more with her magic music notes. She returned and after playing another selection—this time a number from Chopin—there was not the slightest doubt in the minds of her listeners that she was master of her instrument. The fourth part of the program consisted of popular selections, and was enjoyed by the younger sets and popular minds. No program is complete which is rendered by a Negro artist without including (Negro spirituals). There were several song by Mme. Talbart which were familiar to quite a few in the audience, but the one enjoyed by most of the people was "My Lord's Ridin' all De Time" as arranged by Mrs. Mathis. JULI FIGHT Tuberculosis! Day by day the Grim Reaper is taking a heavy toll of lives among members of our race afflicted with Tuberculosis. But that toll is needlessly heavy. Tuberculosis is curable. Fresh air, good food, proper clothing and regular rest periods offer a sure way to recovery in the early stages. Watch the warning signs. A gradual loss of weight, early fatigue or a hacking cough may be the danger signals! Don't neglect frequent colds or fail to get the proper nourishment. If you have little ones, see to it that they are well clothed, properly fed and given the opportunity to enjoy plenty of fresh air night-time as well as day-time. Let's lower the Negro death rate. Fight Tuberculosis by guarding their health with care.

William McMahon's Market Digest No worth while change is noted in trade and industry since our Review of last week, a book it might be more helpful therefore if we wave a tabloid analysis of some securities which look good in present, or, rather, a few items or news concerning them.

"WHAT YOU SOW, YOU SHALL ALSO REAP- WHATEVER YOU DO WILL BE RENDERED UNTO YOU." We are now convinced beyond per adventure that the lynching and burning of human beings will cease and the end of this disarray and barbaric practice is right now. The in human crackers of Flordia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia et all have brought it upon themselves, they have sowed the wind, they are now reaping the whirlwind. For truly, "Whatever you sow you shall also reap," and whatever you do will be rendered unto you. They lynched, mobbed and burned the defenseless black people and now they are burning and mobbing white people and in this they have truly brought about their own downfall. Only recently in Florida it was where they lynched a white man and the following clipping is the story of the heathens and their work in Arkansas, and it is the straw which broke the camel's back and is the doom of lynching in that benighted land. JAIL 5. FOR BURNING BOY ALIVE, ATTACKING GIRL Mountain View. Ark., Nov. 25.—Five men were under arrest today on first degree murder charges, after indictments charging them with torturing, mutilating and then burning alive a farm boy and attacking his sweetheart, were returned by the Stone county grand jury. The grand jury report brought to fight for the first time the story of the disappearance of Connie Franklin, 20, last March and the attacking of his companion, Miss Tillie Rummer, 17. Herman Greenway and Bill C. Younger, held in Batesville, Ark. jail; Hubert Hester and Joe White, held in Newport jail, and Alex. Fulks, held in Stone county jail here, are the five held. In audition to the murder charges Greenway and Hester are charged with criminal assault, a capital offense in Arkansas. Miss Ruminer was at the home of Sheriff Sam Johnson here today, where she will remain until the trial. Fear of reprisals, which kept the girl from reporting the slaying of Franklin, make it necessary to protect her. According to the story told the grand jury by Miss Ruminer, she and Franklin were walking along a road 14 miles east of here last March, when the fire men, whom she identified as those held, sprang upon them and beat Franklin. He fainted, she said, and the men believing him dead, built a fire and placed the body on it. Franklin revived and rolled off. The men then clubbed him on the head and placed the body back on the fire, she said. They later picked the body up in a sack and threw it in a nearby stream Miss Ruminer said. Hugh Williamson, district prosecutor, later visited the scene and picked up eight bones which have been identified as human bones, he said. Miss Ruminer's testimony is in part substantiated by that of a deaf mute boy who elims in a written statement to have witnessed the slaying from a distance, Williamson said. THREE WHITE BOYS KILL AGED NEGROES IN FIENDISH ORGY Athens, Ga., Nov. 25—By A.N.P.—So brutal was the murder here of Mr. and Mrs. Dock Elder, an aged Negro couple, by three white boys, that the jury summoned by Coroner W. I. Dooley was expected to perfer formal charges of murder against Raymond Cooper, 25, Strahenn Harvey, 16, and Wayman Brudberry, 15. The youthful killers stole $700, their life savings, from Elder who was sixty years old, and his wife. They were slain in the most brutal fashion, a hatchet and a peek knife being the weapons which the white youths used in the slaying. FOR SALE BEAUTIFUL HOMES and HOME SITES at reasonable terms.

C., Nov. 25.—The verdict handed down by the coroner's jury investigating the death of a Negro man, known as "Sandy" who was shot and killed "in a running gun battle with officers" here, had aroused much interest and comment. The verdict that the dead man went to his death as a result of being shot through the head while fleeing from officers and while engaged in firing upon them, was rendered despite that fact that no weapon was found on the deceased or near where he was killed and that his companion, Ollie Waters, who was shot in the arm, declared that NOTICE TO CREDITORS No. 105551 Estate of Simon Williams, deceased.

THE EASTERN OUTFITTING COMPANY EMPLOYS ANOTHER MEMBER OF OUR GROUP AS FIELD SALESLADY It is indeed gratifying to this paper to learn that Miss Lucille Edwards, formerly a school teacher of New Orleans, La., is now connected with the Eastern Outfitting Company, one of the largest and best equipped Furniture stores in the West, as Field Saleslady. This is appreciation for our patronage, and goes out of the way seeking other and further business from our group. Rapid expansion of the field force, and the increasing demand for Furniture has made it possible to secure the service of this experienced and capable saleslady. Ever grateful to the public for its implicit confidence, the Eastern has constantly sought to perfect its service that we might fulfil our obligation faithfully, and thus merit continued patronage and good will. It is this spirit that they have sought and secured a saleslady, which we consider, efficient. The Eastern in selecting Miss Ed- THE MAYOR wards as Field Saleslady has been prompted in their decision by the enchanced measure of satisfaction they will receive. We should appreciate the organizations now opening their doors of employment to our people. This Company, for some time has had another member of our race in its Sales Dept. in the person of Mr. Adams and now again Miss Edwards. Likewise there are seven other members of our race at the Eastern. Some in Store Dept., warehouse and other divisions. Let me add that when you are in need of Furniture of any kind, it matters not what it may be show large or how small, you should call for this young lady and help her to make good. Helping her is creating an opportunity for another, if she makes good, we make good; if she fails, it is our failure. Miss Edwards has had extensive experience in Saleswork, and looks at sales problems through the eyes of the purchaser. For the last two years she has been active in social work where she enjoys a wide acquaintance. For appointment with Miss Edwards call Trinity 7361 and leave message in Sales Manager's office. Miss Edwards works out of the main store of the Eastern at 620 South Main street. Men's and Women's Days Successes The Men's and Women's Days at Wesley for the last two Sundays were successes.

November 13, 1929, 4:40 P. M. B. L. WARE, Hushand LIVINGSTONE AND KNOX VILLE SCORE LFSS TIF Knoxville, Tenn. Nov. 25—By A.N. P—In a sea of mud Knoxville College and Livingstone College fought to a 0-0 tie here Saturday afternoon. Both teams depended much on forward passing and made a number of long gains by air, but the heavy field made running almost impossible. Knoxville's line held twice when Livingstone, threatened to score; once after having blocked a Knoxville punt and again on a fumble. The North Carolina visitors blocked three punts, but with their backs to the wall the Knoxville men defended their goal with an impenetrable line that had no weak points.

Dear Advisor: I have been going with a boy a few years my senior for about a year. He wants me to marry him, but here is the trouble. I would hate to lose his company, but feel that I do not love him as I should. Do you think I am wrong to keep him guessing? Ans—You should begin to know your own heart. Make up your mind about him now, by all means. Try going about with other boys for a while, and perhaps you will know just how you feel about him. It is decidedly unfair to keep him in doubt. Dear Advisor: I have been married about five years, and we have two children. We married very young, and knew very little about real love. I have since met a girl, I have learned to love dearly. Do you think it unfair to ask my wife to set me free to marry this girl? Ans—Your first duty is to your wife. Did you not promise to take her for better or for worse? How do you know that you will not tire of your new love after a time? It may be mere infatuation. Cultivate love and kindness for your wife and you will be happy. ON THE SIDEWALG (Continued from mPage One) neither you nor any of your kind can stop him. When a Negro eats or sleeps in a public place, he is not eatin gor sleeping with you, and you flatter yourself when you think he want to. The high-class Negroes do not desire marriage with whites and, as in the case of young Edwards, of New York, a college bred young man who married a white servant girl, ostraciism is threatened by the Negroes. So, Mr. and Mrs. Nordic, pinch yourself and wake up or go way back take a back seat and sit down. IT IS AUTHENTICALLY stated that I. L. Wilson (white), manager of the Wirtwood Plantation, in company with two ocelored men, whom he classified as his labor agents, went to Macon, Miss., and induced 23 Negro families to take positions on said Wirtwood Plantation in the same state but a different county for better wages and conditions than they were enjoying. But when the Negroes attempted to leave the locality in which they resided, they were restrained and one of the so-called Negro agents who was unable to make a get away with the other agent and his white dictator was so badly beaten that he is in a serious condition in a local hospital not expected to live.

One thing sure he held tenacious for the same treat- ment of the black people that other people receive and the Commission sustained him. The California Eagle led the fight from the beginning and never ceased and we are satisfied and compliment Commissioners Thorpe, Drake, Coe and Pierce for their fairness. VERBATUIM REPORT FROM CORDS ON LAST THEDAX After Attorney Macheth's plea for leniency, the Commission president requested the vice-president to take the chair and made a motion that decision on the case should be postponed for a month, meanwhile this cafe as well as all others be held under observation. The motion was lost for want of a second. Then Commissioner Coe moved that the charge be dismissed as after thorough consideration he felt that the Apex was trying as best it could to enforce the law. Commissioner Drake then rose and declared, believe that in this instance and in every other instance that there should not be a law for one race of people East of Main St., and a law for another race West of Main Street. That a rigid investigation should be made by the Police Department, as to all violations, and where there are violations the law should be enforced, and until such time comes I will not vote to revoke a license in one part of town and shut my eyes to violations in another part of town. I believe in equality regardless of race or location. Therefore having in my hand a list of cafes that are not conducted by colored people and that are not East of Main Street, where reports have been made that liquor has been served since the last meeting of this Commission. I'm not going to vote to revoke the Apex license until reports are made on other cafes in this town; and when that time comes, I shall vote to revoke every single solitary one of them conducted in violation of the law." Commissioners Thorpe and Pierce coincided with the statement of Commissioner Drake and case was dismissed by unanimous vote: :: BUSINESS and INDUSTRY :: ```markdown ``` NEW 7-ROOM STUCCO HAS THREE BEDROOMS Double Garage, Twin Sinks, Built in Mail, Milk, Electric Iron and Ice Box, Also Laundry, Linen, and broom closets.

This Summer Sunday School of Methods, which held its last session in Cleveland, Ohio, will bring to the city here by the lake, the brain of the denomination represented by the National Baptist Convention of America.

Application was made in the city this week for the usual courtesy of reduced rates on the Identification Certificate Plan, and the Secretary gave it out as his opinion that the rates will be at once granted, and that the Identification Certificate Plan, as has been used for the past years for Congress messengers and dependent members of their families, would be in vogue. In the conference that resulted in Chicago being awarded this meeting, the largest number of local Baptist preachers was present that has been to a meeting for a number of years.

The ceremonies took place at Pilane when 12,000 subjects and five regiments of modernly equipped and trained soldiers gathered to witness the coronation which reckoned of the traditions of the tribe. Molefi, clad in European clothing, instead of the native garb, was crowned by the priests while the soldiers stood at attention and his subjects bowed in tribute to their new ruler. The ceremonies were marred by the death of one woman and four children who were struck by lightning during a thunder-storm. The young chief successes, the reagent Isang, who was appointed ruler to serve until Molefi reached the age of ten. Isang is largely responsible for the highly civilized state of the tribe.

Beginning with a good attendance at the Sunday School, and an interesting study of the lesson. At the eleven o'clock service the pastor spoke from the subject, "The Journey of Life." The congregation appreciated the discourse as was evidenced by the spiritual fervor which prevailed throughout the service. He preached again at the evening service, using as a subject, "The Heavenly Vision." The congregations at each service were up to the standard. The Choir Contest between Grant Chapel choir and the choir of the Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena was a great treat. Both choirs were at their best, but Grant Chapel Church choir was given first place in both contest. We are justly proud of our choir and chorister, and have no hesitancy in saying that we have one of the best choirs to be found anywhere in this part of the country. Any one that does not believe this let them issue a challenge and they will trove the truthfulness of this assertion. The pastor will preach at both services next Sunday. Cme and worship with us. You will receive a hearty welcome. FRIENDSHIP BAPTISTCHURCH Rev. A. P. Ramsey, Pastor Services at the Friendship Baptist Church were splendid and very well attended Sunday. November 23. The gospel message was delivered in the morning by the pastor. In the afternoon, Rev. R. M. Marshall and his congregation and Choir were with us. As it was the big rally, services were held all day. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. are als doing very nicely. If they keep progressing as radially as they have in the past, it will be rather hard for them to beat anywhere.

The chorus, Mr. Clarence Muse, and the other participants were heard to good advantage, but I wish to make special mention of the singing of Mr. Tillman Farlice. Everyone knows that he can sing and we Pasadenans are surely proud of him. I prophesy great things in store for this singer. Personally, I never tire at listening to his rich bass voice. I am told that he is in great demand, and with out doubt he deserves it. --- Phone ATlantic 6049 DIRECTORY---NOTICES Louise Beverly Teacher Classical Dancing CLUBS SICK- SPECIALIST (Formerly of Houston, Texas) General Practice Surgery and Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat 21 years' practice; 10 years Specialist.

N.P.-Southern University met Wiley College in Louisiana's annual football classic, on Armistice Day and defeat of the mighty Texas aggregation to the tune of 7-4. The outcome of the game was a big surprise not only to the Texans and their rooters, out to the Louisiana fans as well. This was the first time in history that Southern has succeeded in defeating Wiley. The game was played on a field, heavy with mud, and a stray crazle which continued to fall throughout the struggle resulted in large puddles and many feet of slippery mud. Because of this met, the game was to a large extent a kicking duel. Southern made the only touchdown of the game in the second quarter and the extra point going over beautifully, added one, making the score at the end of the first half 7-0 in favor of Southern. During the last halt, two safeties were made by the Texans. Wiley made a desperate effort, trying passes and every other football strategy at their command, but it was useless, and the final whistle found them still struggling madly, and the score 7 to 4 favoring the Louisiana "Cats".

But even if all the Christmas undisturbed, the cutting of them was of the pleasure they give children, truction of Christmas trees is a car wasting at the bung; for the loss this cause is infinitesimal as comp to our forests by fire and insects. The perennial questio nas to whether it is not a shocking waste of our timber resources to cut down hundreds of thousands of spruce and other evergreens for Christmas trees is again being discussed. And once more the American Tree Association defends the use of young conifers for Yuletide ornamental purposes and advises those who are protesting against the alleged waste to direct their energy to educating the people as to the proper use of forests. The American Tree Association's position on the matter is that taken by all the leading conservationists, who hold that conservation does not mean there shall be curtailment of the legitimate use of our forest resources. Some of those who are objecting to the cutting down of evergreens for this purpose are letting emotions get the better of their common sense. Thus one person says: "Why not teach the children that every Christmas tree may mean that some poor little bird is without a place to sleep?" It is assumed by those who are opposing Christmas trees that if they were not cut down all would grow into tall timber suitable for sawlogs. But the assumption is unwarranted. Both when planted by man and by Nature the conifers spring up in thick clusters, so close together that there is no room for all to reach maturity. Some must yield if others are to have enough space and light. Foresters accordingly deliberately thin out the stand by cutting some of the small trees to make room for those that are to be allowed to grow. Trees thus removed may be used for Christmas purposes. If they were not removed they would probably be killed in the struggle for existence with their neighbors. But even if all the Christmas trees would grow up if left undisturbed, the cutting of them would still be justified because of the pleasure they give children. Making a fuss over the destruction of Christmas trees is a case of saving at the spigot and wasting at the bung; for the loss of our timber resources from this cause is infinitesimal as compared with the damage done to our forests by fire and insects.

"It's only twenty-six days, the shortest days in the year, till Christmas." In a practical way it is well to remember that the chief festival of the Christian world is only a little way down the road. Santa Claus' outline is almost visible over the chinneyed horizon, the sound of the tinkle of his sleigh-bells is nearly audible. It is a time for doing what is to be done in preparation for the holiday. Shopping early is a good piece of business, early in the morning of each shopping day. It will be to the advantage of the buyer, to the pleasure of the seller and for the relief of the overworked store forces. All the systematic work done in advance of the rush to avoid the confusion that sometimes makes the Christmas eve a horror and the Christmas day one in which there is no rest and delight because one is all in and tired—will not be its best unless there is a flavor of the Christmas spirit through it all. In the rush and confusion, if there must be such, in the crowds that surge through the stores, in the jam and push of the street throngs, take the Christmas lesson to heart for use in the advance days—and be pleasant. Be patient with the clerks and the delivery men; be courteous to the folks you buy from; be pleasant to the jostlers who almost knock the parcels from your arms as they stumble, themselves package-laden, on the street; use the smile that helps everybody over every stressful time and some distressful times. Indeed, there are opportunities now for more effective and beneficient use of the Christmas spirit in its fine unselfish expression than there will be after the day's climax is over. It will not be regarded by Santa Claus as in any way violative of his rules of "don't peep" to use "before" Christmas the same cheer, the same unselfishness, the same courtesy, the same thoughtfulness, the same spirit of "giving happiness" that you will use on Christmas day.

It isn't the feeling of don't-care-extravagance that so often characterizes this time, but an atmosphere of satisfaction that comes from calculated thrift. The thrift clubs of the banks, in which one saves a small sum weekly for next year's Christmas money, were well patronized last year. Accounts and well panned budgets have grown in numbers. It is easy to spot the patrons of the thrift clubs, the owners of the "accumulated funds" which have been faithfully fed according to the budget. They buy carefully, and without extravagance, but they buy comfortably and adequately. There are still the hurried ones, the wild-eyed ones dashing around in flurries of uneasiness lest they forget someone important, lest the bills of January get too big. But they grow fewer, year by year. There used to be something a little contemptuous in the attitude of the flurries towards the savers; Christmas, they said loudly, ought to be a time of extravagance and foolishness and fun. But now the look is cast up instead of down. For the savers see mto be having all the fun, and are better able to be foolishly generous if they want to, and they have no bad morning afterward. They have only the rather pleasant five minutes of opening the bills, writing the checks and forgetting that part of the performance in the joy of looking forward to another happy Christmas.

"Tay Pay" (T. P. O'Connor) father of the British House of Commons. Noted publicist and politician, has answered the last roll call. There were few men in the public life of England who wielded a greater influence. His, "Tay Pay's Weekly" was a potent factor in moulding British politics. He was Irish by birth. Born at Athlone: O'Connor was first elected to Parliament from Galway, where he received his education, also his bachelor's degree. Later he was returned from Galway and Liverpool. Choosing the latter he was returned regularly to the time of his death. Death has also made his visit to the official family of President Hoover and made vacant the Cabinet chair of the secretary of War, James W. Good. The Secretary of War was an ardent advocate of inland water transportation. He believed that the Federal Government should sponsor the development of a system of water transportation which would make every Great Lakes port a seaport and a system of navigable canals from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The practicability of his plans created a great amount of discussion and several engineering plans were advanced by noted engineers. He and the President were in accord on the question of the development of the routes for water transportation and, as the engineering branch of the army has the most difficult problems to solve, the work would soon have had some concrete form. It is to be hoped that the successor to the late Secretary will be of the same constructive mind. * * * * When President Hoover in his Armistice Day speech said, "The time has come when we should remove starvation of women and children from the weapons of warfare," he started a wave that gains in intensity as it rolls along. It looms as an international issue, because it is a question of the freedom of the seas. The United States has fought four wars in the defense of the open highway of the seas. Great Britain has sought sea supremacy in order to be able to enforce blockades and cut off the food supply of her enemies when at war. This country has always held that the seas should be open to all non-beligerent vessels. To that end the United States went to war with the Barbaric pirates; with France in 1793; England in 1812 and Germany's interference with the Merchant Marine was a leading factor in the entrance of the United States in the World War. But with reference to the President's speech on Armistice Day. The harshest of his critics term it "Idealism." True: But it is idealism born of personal experiences. Herbert Hoover had the task of furnishing food for the millions of undernourished, starving women and children during the World War. He came in personal contact with the suffering, caused by lack of food, to the non-combatants. No doubt, the emaciated forms and pleading eyes of those women and children impressed on his mind so indelibly the picture of suffering that he vowed if ever the time should come when he would be able to blot it from the usage of war, he would do it. Like Abraham Lincoln, whose personal touch with human slavery caused him to hate it, and vowed that if ever the opportunity came that he would "strike it and strike it hard" Herbert Hoover's heart was touched for suffering humanity, caused by war's cruelty, and as President Hoover, he is striking the blow to kill it, and striking it hard. President Hoover in his Armistice Day Day, is come when we should remove star children from the weapons of warfare," ins in intensity as it rolls along. It lea, because it is a question of the United States has fought four wars, open highway of the seas, Great premacy in order to be able to enforce the food supply of her enemies when it always held that the seas should be open seas.

Up to this time the High Court has not given its opinion on the case of Warren Billings. It is the Governor's opinion that both cases should be considered together. It is claimed that both are equally guilty or innocent. Things political have been very quiet this week under the dome. One hears hardly a whisper of the political situation. Even the corridor cabinet is at a loss for something to conjecture. The exodus from the Capitol to Palo Alto may have had something to do with the quiet and the big football game induced a spirit of college amity that buried, for a while, the political hatchet. It is rumored that former governor Richardson has an ambition to wear the senatorial toga sported at present by the Honorable Samuel Shortridge. We dare say that it is rumor and rumor only. The former governor is too astute as a politician to invite disaster. The California senators are at daggers point over the office of collector of internal revenue. The present incumbent is the appointee of the senior Senator and the junior Senator has recommended the appointment of a successor. It is a fight worth the watching as one of the senators is strictly an administration man, and the other independent. There is going to be some fun, this coming campaign will tell who's who in the polite circle of politics. * * * * The ranks of the "Old Guard" are thinning rapidly. In the passing of F. H. Crumbly, Los Angeles loses one who helped to mould favorable opinion for the Negro. With such compatriots as the late Edmunds; Neimore; Venie; Charlston; Clarson; Slaughter; Bates and the many others who have answered the call, he labored early and late that all citizens might enjoy equality of privilege. Nor should we forget the elder Roberts when mention is made of those who made the strenuous fight for justice. Some of the first enlistment still remain, and we often hear of Norris, Snell and a few of the living who helped to write the pages of Negro history in the Southern Metropolis. Information comes to us that Capain Crumbly, up to the past years when he was so sorely afflicted never lost sight of his duty to the community and was active in all affairs for racial betterment. less of the "Old Guard" are thinning. F. F. H. Crumbly, Los Angeles loses on favorable opinion for the Negro.

Information comes to us to the past years when he was so out of his duty to the community and Whenever we learn of the commercialism attending fraternal activities, the stronger the will to combat it. Fraternalism and commercialism are in diametrical opposition. Whenever it costs sixty cents of the dollar to dispense it in charity some other means of distribution should be sought. Whenever fraternalism is used to pay big salaries to feed the egotism of those who fatten from the provender furnished for the express purpose of forwarding the cause of Fraternalism, then some means should be found to use the "provender" judiciously and for the purpose so provided. It is an easy matter to say that "we have accomplished much" but the proof is in the pudding. The day of the "ballyhoo" is past, except to the unthinking. What this day demands is concrete evidence of accomplishment. It used to be that "Jim Doe" could cash in on his "say" that he carried much influence, but now there has to be an evidence, visual, that the result is a success. The heads of the I. B. P. O. E. have claimed a great increase in membership. Yet they seek to raise the per capita tax from 25 cents to $1.00. In business, increased production decreases the price of consumption. Then why the raise in the tax? It's a pertinent question and should be answered for the benefit of the laity. Well, Well! One can never tell. All this time Miss "You're Next" has appeared to us as be-bribboned, fur-belowed, sedate, demure, angelic bit of femininity that knew nothing more strenuous than croquette, and nothing stronger than pink lemonade. Do our eyes deceive us? No! for here in cold print is as fine a column of Sports writing as ever appeared in the "Old Bird"; in phrases that would do credit to Grantland Rice. Aclever review of some "glove slingers" is made, and the writer shows a certainty of knowledge that makes her observations authoritative. They are even referred to as "Big Gusts of Wind." Now, what would one want more graphic than this?" Bobby La Salle, 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 Doc Wilmington's house of action, who gives the fans a programme of bouts which presages plenty of punching." It's of no use; the darlings who were created from an extracted rib (so we are informed) have entered, successfully, into every avenue of "manly" endeavor, and if Miss "You're Next" can throw as nifty a five as she can phrase the lingo of the roped arena, we promise to steer clear of any of the places frequented. That is; if ever again we can muster the courage to visit Los Angeles. But we hope that this will be taken in the spirit of banter and not seriously. * * * * If there is anything that the derive some fun out of, that the of which they know nothing, well what he was saying when phrase, "San Francisco knows Francisco was in the bud as a was the site of mansions and it built a cable line which was the of all.

If there is anything that the people of San Francisco can't derive some fun out of, that thing will have to be some creation of which they know nothing. Former President Taft knew well what he was saying when he uttered the now familiar phrase, "San Francisco knows how!" Years ago, when San Francisco was in the bud as a metropolis and Pacific Avenue was the site of mansions and the abode of millionaires, they built a cable line which was the envy of many and the glory of all. The crew that manned the cars was spruce and spry, ever on the alert to assist the crinolined elderly ladies or smilingly help the young debs to get aboard the car. Time rolled on: San Francisco's transportation problems grew acute and were, from time to time, met. No city in the world has a finer system of street railway service than San Francisco. The wave of progress rolled on and on. The Pacific Avenue cable clanged its way undisturbed by the wheels of progress. The elderly ladies of its inception had passed on. The Debs of that day were grandmothers now, and the grey headed crews of the cars stopped obligingly before the doors of the old mansions to take on or debark the passengers. It was at last decreed that "Toonerville" must go. Let's give her a rousing farewell! So they called everybody to participate. A stand decorated with gay colors was erected for the city dignitaries. The bands played enlivening airs. All were in a gay mood. No, not all: There were some to whom "Toonerville had become an institution and they regretted its passing. Now for the last ride. "Toonerville" was all dolled up with bunting flags and everything. The bands played, the city's dignitaries took their place aboard and the old cable started on the last journey. When she reached the end there was some sadness. Old "Toonerville" linked the San Francisco of the past with the San Francisco of today. With a last look and a reminiscence of years gone by the once young and debonaire crew, now grown old, left the old car to the end of all derelicts—the scrap heap. President Hoover has approved the appointments of Secretary Wilbur's Illiteracy Body. It will make a survey of the illiteracy problem of the United States. An exhaustive study will be made of the problem and reported to the department of the interior. The commissioner of education, W. J. Cooper, is a member of the body and it will have the first meeting December 7th at Washington, D. C. We are very anxious to follow the survey and review the final report to ascertain just to what degree the American Negro has cut down his percentage in the illiterate column. We feel satisfied that the percentage will be reduced to the minimum. Certainly, there are sections of the country where the improvement will be negligible. In the rural districts of the South very little progress has been made in the alleviation of the backward educational facilities. Philanthropy, assisted by what help the Negro could afford, has done much to progress education. But, with few exceptions, assistance from the states has been meagre. The report of the body appointed by the Secretary of the Interior will give a line on what has been done and what will have to be done to combat illiteracy. BY: DR. RUTH J.

But no intelligent or extensive treatise which deals with the care of babies can ignore the physical condition of that baby's parents; for remember a baby is only made of two things, that is two parents (and their heredity) plus environment. Thus you see anew that what the parents are is the most important single factor in determining what the baby shall be. Ever so careful care after it arrives cannot possibly repair the harm of a faulty or degenerate inheritance. It is practically an impossibility for a sickly, delicate parent to have a thoroughly healthy baby. I have seen so many babies born to tubercular parents come here looking fine and well to begin with and then after just a few weeks or months begin to lose in weight, take colds easily, become emaciated and show all signs of a terribly weakened constitution and so in considering the care of our babies the very first thing to do is to look to the health of the parents to be sure that they are physically sound and physically fit to propagate healthy offspring. Besides having good health a woman should know whether she is anticamically formed so that she can give normal birth to her child. Before marriage a young woman should know what her pelvic measurements are; whether she is too large or too small to give natural birth to an average child. With this knowledge at her disposal she may make an in- ```markdown ``` the people of San Francisco can't bring will have to be some creation.

THE EALIERT DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW BABY Every month within the body of the mother, after she has reached maturity, a tiny little cell is developed. When this cell is not fertilized it dies and is thrown off by the mother. When however this little cell is fertilized it at once becomes a human being and starts the marvelous steps in development which change it into the darling baby which "the stork" brings after nine months of intra-uterine life are ended. To understand the described changes we must look for, a moment, at the original fertilized cell, or to be technical, the fertilized orum. And this—the first beginning of all human beings—is a tiny, single cell, which does not look so very different from a hen's egg—only it is so tiny that a microscope is necessary to discern its parts. This small particle of matter divides exactly half in two thus forming two cells, these two cells in turn divide each into two more cells thus forming four cells. This simple division continues until a little mass of cells resembling greatly a mullberry moss—is formed. The baby, for this is what the mulberry moss really is, up to this stage has been receiving its nourishment from the parts of the original cell, or orum, which will not be used in the actual formation of the baby's body. In other words, the tiny new being in the first few days after conception carries its food in a pack with it. Soon however, food supply is exhausted and it it seeks more nourishment. It also wants a safe and secure abiding place, for it knows that it is stay for nine whole months in this warm but very dark little room—the uterus. So, governed by a Master Mind, it seeks out some inviting spot on the inside of the uterus and begins to bury itself in the lining of the warm uterine folds. It must have a covering and water, food and air in order to grow fine and strong in its little shut in house. There are still some unsuspected parts of the early ovum, and these the little new embryo decides to --- Friday, November 29, 1929 American Justice GOLDEN RULE BY: THE DEACON The rich man steals a railroad The poor man steals a rail; The rich thief gets probation, And the poor thief goes to jail.

These coverings are made into a waterproof sac and the new baby is closely shut within. Now it would be very bad to be shut up for 9 months within a closely fitting sack and not be able to move at all. So nature provides plenty of motion to secure the possibility of plenty of motion for the new baby as it develops. Nature fills this little sack in which baby is housed, with water, and now the embryo can float and swim and move to its heart's content without any danger of its hurting itself or its mother. Or it can lie still for hours and not be afraid of sticking to its sac house.

The day was ideal and opened auspiciously with a large crowd of cut-out-towners, and they responded on the program and the silver offering. The color scheme was successfully featured in the holiday decorations and color scheme. The guests were variously gowned in the new fall and winter styles, and made a bevy of colors. At the conclusion of the evening the young people gathered around the piano and sang the latest hits and discussed the coming event of the season, "The Extravaganza" after which the guests dressed. For the benefit of the Tulare Lodge No. 5253 something new is being given—"An Extraordinary," the nature of which is entirely new and different; a little bit of this and that, of which the cream of the valley is being featured.

Clarke announced her candidacy for representative from the Fifth senatorial district of Illinois at the first anniversary meeting of the Illinois at the first anniversary meeting of the Illinois Women's Republican League Saturday evening. The present representative is Captain William A. Warfield who is the first Negro to represent the Hyde Park District as it is known. The election of Captain Warfield was somewhat of a surprise to the voters due to the fact that the district is largely populated by whites. Mrs. Clark is the first Negro woman to seek a seat in the Illinois General Assembly and due to the fact that Representative Warfield is a prominent member of the Regular Republican Organization, much speculation is being made as to which of the candidates will receive the sanction of the party leaders. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE NEGROES ARE FUNNY-ROBESSON SANG AND DELANY RAN Negroes are funny. On the first Tuesday in November in New York City Paul Robeson sang for them in Carnegie Hall, and Hubert Delany ran for them in Harlem. They did not support either of them with full appreciation of the far-reaching and deep significance of these two events. White people jammed the theater to welcome Robeson home after his two years of triumph in the concert halls of Europe. Robeson, proud and appreciative of the music of his own race gave the audience a rich program of "All Negro Music" Negro composers, Negro pianist, and a Negro singer, something new under the sun. Robeson scored. The great audience enforced him again and again. Less than three hundred Negroes, out of the population of over one hundred fifty thousand, in New York City, Came to welcome the man who is making a place for the race among the stars. Thank God! Color does not count in art. That audience applauded talent and created a warm atmosphere in which our great bartone sang for his race out of the fullness of his heart. New York Negroes should have stormed Carnegie Hall, even though they could not have gotten in, and even though it was not Roland Hayes. We must keep on encouraging others to come up higher. The psychological effect of beautifully gowned Negro women and handsomely dressed Negro men clamoring to pay honor to a member of their race would have been a valuable demonstration in race appreciation. When a member of the race is out there carrying on gloriously, let's go and cheer him. To cap the climax a Negro woman of supposed culture and education said as the concert closed, "It was a fine program, but I am sorry he sang 'All Negro Music.' He should have sung some classic music for an audience like this." He did sing classic music and several numbers, possessed unsurpassed soul quality. It was music written by Burleigh, Brown, Boatier, and Cook.

It meant appreciation for Negro production, the very thing that the Negro woman lacks. To her a program of all Negro music is interior and unfit for a cultured audience. Poor thing! Negroes like that are really funny. Something has gone to their head. Robeson is glorifying the productions of his own race and that is the only way, a race will ever rise. By Glorifying its own Productions. Up in Harleen on this day, Hubert Delany ran for Congress. Hubert Delany is capable. Fifteen thousand six hundred Negroes and about thirteen thousand whites voted for him. The twenty-three thousand Negroes who registered could have voted for him. Had they voted for their race candidate New York Negroes would have made a most impressive showing. It helps the race to make a most impressive showing in politics. It helps any group. Whether we lose or win. It helps the race when it makes the showing, politically. Delhny would not have won had all the Negroes in the twenty-first congressional district voted for him, but if the Negroes in that district present a solid front they can get more respect and more consideration from those who win. Politicians are really afraid of a solid front. If Negroes cannot win office for Negro candidates, they can win respect for their whole group by solidarity of action. Politicians respect and fear numbers when those numbers act together. Politicians use divided forces: they fear united forces. Then, too, Negroes in Harlem must remember that they are voting to sustain one of the greatest principles in Democratic government. Representation, Win or lose, vote for that fine principal every time. Geographically, the twenty-first congressional district has a white head and a black body. Regardless of the shape of Harlem District the upper part white, and the lower part black Negroes in New York are entitled to one representative in the United States Congress. To get that representative Negroes must put down their pettiness and play the game together. There are enough fair-minded whites in Harlem, who make their living off of Negroes up there, to help them win on the fine principle of fair representation. Together the Negroes of Harlem can win divided they will continue to lose.

EDWARDS (For The Associated Negro Press) Africa is behind us and we are now watching the sparkle of the sunlight on the glassy smothness of the Mediterranean. Excellent sailing. Our passage from Naples to Tunis was stormy, and I was quite ill one night. But the Italian steward, who could speak no English, nursed me with the tender solicitation Papa always gave when we were ill. This trip is much smoother. Sunset last night was an exquisite thing. Soft rose and smoky gray blue with a hint of violet. It's interesting how so common a phenomena as sunset varies at different points. In trapani, Sicily, (on route to Tunis) it was saffron, (a brilliant, oriental sky. On the lovely bay of Naples with Vesuvius overshadowing the sunset like a brilliant flame-God reviewing the world and then smiling approval, sank into the sea leaving the sky radiantly warm with many colors, reflecting the glory of his passage. The journey from Constantine to Algiers passed through the Bedouin or Nomad territories. Shepherds in ancient garments and turbanned heads leaned on their staffs and watched their flocks. Often they sat cross-legged on the ground in solitary deflection. And frequently we passed them busy at prayers facing mecca, kneeling and casting their faces to the ground. We saw several carvans of camel coming from the desert. The nomad village is a squalfled thing. Tiny rags of tents on the ground. They do the farming about here. Excellent and extensive plantations they are, too. The plows do not have handles as do ours. The driver walks beside his team, not behind at the plow, said plow being frequently drawn by a team including a horse, a mule, a donkey, and an ox. The donkeys are the timest ever. Their leisurely gait, however, best fits the Arab temperament. Alciziers is a very modern city. Its buildings are mostly white and in many of them they have copied the architecture of the Arabs which makes the place quite picturesque, set as it is against a hill. Our hotel commanded a nice view of the bay and overlooked the Foch Square a lovely garden with a commanding though not very beautiful memorial of the last war. Here as in Tunis you meet a wide variety of types, colors and features. Black women with kinky hair heavily jewelled and heavily veiled Black men befezzed and be-turbanned. A good many black colonial soldiers. But here as everywhere, except for the soldiers you find the blacks at the more inferior tasks helping a shopkeeper, not directing the shop. Oddly enough the very fair Arabs seem rather week also. The strength and progress seems left in the brown types, the silky haired ones, who seem to be the purer types. One leaves with the feeling that truly the blacks are the bastards of the earth. The Botanical gardens of Algiers are the most beautiful imaginable. Tropical opulence. Grove upon grove of lovely trees, Magnolias, grown to the girth of our nightest oaks huge palms, maples hung with vines, and many, many strangers to me. And beyond this a huge sunken garden more beautiful than you could dream of, leading down to the sea. Before leaving, I wanted to go down in Arab town. The Hall porter insisted that no woman should go there without a guide. I insisted to him that I had gone quite alone in Tunis, where 150,000 Arabs live in the section. He reluctantly called a cat for me and when I motioned to the driver to be gone he halted him inquiring "What isn't adame (Jewell) going, go? Surely you will not venture alone." I assured him that I would, and he shook his head sadly. Well I went, and I had a glorious morning. SEEK APPROPRIATE MEMOR IAL SLAVE WHO WON WAY IAL SLAVE WHO WON WAY TO LEGISLATURE Boston, Mass., Nov. 25-By ANIP- —The Lewis Hayden Memorial Association is renewing its efforts toward an appropriate memorial to the slave, who escaping by Underground, came to Boston in 1849, became a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, and at his death left his property to form a scholarship at Harvard College for Negro boys. Besides John Brown, Phillips, Garrison, Gov. Andrew Douglass Nell, and others met in this house to consider plans for the Negro; the scholarship for which it was sold is open to any Negro boy. The Hayden House should be a National shine. The Association is I dreamt a dream. I was in midair at the top of the world. The world of men was indistinct from my lofty position. I beheld the surrounding creation, musing all the while. But I was filled with dissatisfaction. Thinking of the many things that I needed and the few possessed, my thoughts grow to grumbles, and my grumlings grew from low to loud. Presently there appeared at my slide a celestial being. He took me by the hand and bade me so with him. We explored for and near. We went up and down. 'Round and Round!' My companion asked the reason for my disgruntlessness my complaints. I heard myself citing all the woes of the ungrateful I needed this and I needed that I mentioned bad rich men and starving poor men. And my speech was defiant and bitter and self centered. Presently there loomed before us a sight that I shall never forget: I saw men; women, and children racking in pain. "These, manlied, disfigured, and emaciated suffers," said my companion, "are the hokt or sick that at this very instant fill the hospitals we behold said looking humans ravaging like wild and cursing the day that they were born. I was told that these were the mentally defectives that army of morons, imbeciles, and idolts that find their way into this world, not to mention the insane; victims of a nerve-racking civilization. Net we visited the prisons of the world. On one of the isles of the sea we saw men who once led nations by the strength and brilliance of their minds; how different they looked now as they paused their prison confines incinerated victims of foul politics. Some of the prisoners had been sent to this "tomb of the living" because of some infraction of man made laws victims of a society that helped make them what they are and then expelled them as so much refuse human dress. Hard by was a colony of lepers. I saw women breast and men's faces born immediately before us, this terrible plague. What a sight! They were human outcasts. Behind them lay leagues of fathomless deep. Behind them mothers left their children, husbands their wives, and lovers their all. I was tired of the sight. I was nish to succumb when my competitor took my hand and lead me away. Tally one half the world does not known what the other half is doing. I saw little children stunting their lives in toil while lat employers reaped and feasted in luxury, Isaw rufages from justice as they warned away their lives living in momentary dread lest the long arm of the law should grasp them from their hiding place. I saw brother turning against brother, parents against children, and husband against wife. I saw things that I dare not tell and I woke with fear and trembling and glad that it all was a DREAM. As a result I have decided to count my millions of blessing that crown my life momentarily, for may not I have been one of those unfortunate whom I saw in the dream? I have decided to be thankful daily instead of just on Thanksgiving Day, not from fear, but from a grateful heart that is thankful to be alive sane, healthy, and hopeful. God of our fathers I am thanked to you for everything, especially the invaluable gifts that money cannot key. I thank you for the sum that shines, for the air that I breathe; for the rains that water earth. Lord, I thank you for the privilege of living. College Presidents Move to Aid Farmer Chicago. Nov. 25-By A.N.P.—Among the actions taken at the recent session of Land Grant College President hold here were the resolutions with the board agreed, as proposed by President J. M. C. chairman of the committee. The body proposed to co-operate closely with the White house conference on Child Welfare and Health; to encourage the organization of farmers for the purpose of securing benefits from the Farm Relief Board; to form in declaration to be presented to the National advisory Council on Education; to back efforts on citizenship with emphasis being placed on securing the ballot; to urge larger participation for Negroes in state and federal funds for education; deemed illiteracy and lack of opportunity for adult education; urged that extension work be extended in Negro Land Grant Colleges; urged the need of setting up machinery for the accrediting of Negro High Schools and Colleges; and the development of MidWestern Press Bureau (Omaha, Nebraska) The Quack Club composed of working women has recently been organized at the North Side Branch of the Y W. C. A. It is about six weeks old, and has an annual membership of thirty, and a potential membership of 200. They hold weekly meetings each Friday at the "Y" where they dine together and discuss their problems. They have also adopted a program for the study of Literature, Art, Dramatics, and Handcraft. They have a very amitious program upon which they will embark when their numbers reach one hundred. They are going to conduct a campaign for funds to build a Gymnasium and a swimming pool. More of this later. Salem Baptist Church is holding the center of the stage. Some time ago eighteen members were dismissed from the church. They brought suit to joinin the Pastor and Deacons from keeping the mount. That suit is still pending. A little later one or the expelled members entered the church and she claims that one of the officers knocked her down in the church door, pointed a pistol at her, and threatened to kill her. She had this brother arrested and he was fined. $25.00 and costs for Assault and Battery. During this excitement a Police Detective rushed into the church, and up to the pulpit and called the pastor and said: "Come here, Big Boy, and give me that gun." The officer then forced the minister into the study where he grabbed him and searched him. The minister countered with a $5000.00 damage suit against the Detective. And then to cap the climax, the resalectrants had the young girl who was assaulted, file a damage suit for $5,000.00 against the pastor of the Church and several officers. The pastor then fired another volley by swiping out a Warrent to have Elder D. Deloisted placed under a Peace Bond. Deloisted is the leader of the number of expelled members. The next release from this Bureau will report such process as has been made by these Christians. Rev. John Adams, an erstwhile lawyer and preacher (?) has just been dismissed as Pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, Lincoln, Nebraska for conduct inconsistent with his Holy office. He is a protege of Bishop John A. Gregg. Before his appointment by Bishop Gregg, the good Bishop was advised that the Rev. Adams was a devotee of the god of Bacchus. The Trustees of this Church have enjoined the Rev. Mr. Adams from coming into the Church. Bishop Gregg has not yet indicated what action he will take. If these churches keep active in this way, they will put the Middle West on the map. Miss Estella T. Robertson has been appointed to a Clerkship in the office of the Clerk of the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. Miss Robertson is a graduate of Bishop College at Marshall, Texas. She is the first Colored girl ever appointed as a Stenographer in this office. She is a member of Zion Baptist Church, and is a singer of fine ability. Miss Robertson enters upon her duties December 2. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C. has entered Nebraska. Mr. Harry L. Anderson, who is prominent in Church and Masonic Circles, will represent the company in Nebraska. He will be under the office of the company at Kansas City, Missouri. We welcome this company into this territory. The Membership Committee of the of the Y. W. C. A is presenting a Comic Opera within the next few weeks. In this Opera will appear some of the best talent in the Middle West. Fifty-two young matrons of this city received Certificates Sunday for a course in "Home Nursing." These women were instructed on all forms of Health Habitation. A very lovely program was given in honor of these woen at Zion Baptist Church. The Omaha Philosophical Society held its regular meeting on the 24th dy of this month. Attorney H. J. Pinkett delivered an address on "Human Brotherhood." Mr. Pinkett asserted the hope of future generations depends on the Brotherhood of mankind. Public interest thus manifested in the Fiftieth Anniversary Number of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE has inspired the Eagle Club to augment its plans and issue a publication fuller and more complete than those originally initiated. This same increasing interest may be an incentive to the release of a year book unequalled by any group of Race folk in the United States. A special feature of the number will be a complete directory of all business enterprises operated by Negroes in the city, giving name, location and telephone number. This feature alone makes it invaluable to every home or place of business. Before our solicitors can even get started, already scores of applications for space in the directory or "Blue Book" section are pouring into the office, and those who fail to take advantage of this feature will regret it in after years. Get your copy ready and if the representatives are too long getting around to you, phone The Eagle, VAndike 9244, as the forms will close real soon on this section and it is our aim to not miss a single Negro enterprise from the smallest to the greatest. T. L. GRIFFITH, Jr., Chairman. EDNA GREENE SMITH, Sec'y. Josephine Baker's sensational film, "The Siren of the Tropics," has been placed on the National Board of Reviews' select list of motion pictures as one of the best and most worth while cinema entertainment of the year. The selection of the picture is not only a high compliment to Miss Baker's artistry; but may lead to her appearance in a series of comedy dramas in Hollywood this winter. Negotiations have been pending for several days to bring "Jo' Baker to New York for personal appearance when "The Siren of the Tropics" is shown on Broadway. In the event the noted star leaves South America for her native United States, she will be offered a tempting contract to go to Hollywood. The film has been booked to play in all the leading cities, according to a statement made by Jack Goldberg, managing director of Gold pictures, who imported the Baker tilm from Europe after it had broken box office records in five European capitals. In Paris, where "Jo" Baker has perhaps her largest following, "The Siren of the Tropics" played to capacity audiences for several weeks. HOWARD CASE ENDS IN MISSISSIPPI Jackson, Miss, Nov. 25—By A.N.P. The final chapter of the famous "Mississippi patronage case" was whiten here Tuesday when the last charges of selling federal jobs against Attorney Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman of Mississippi, and his associates were dropped by Federal Judge Edwin R. Holmes. The action was taken on the re- commendation of the United States Department of Justice, which was received by United States Attorney F. Cameron of Meridian, Monday. The defendants were Charles Isaacs, S. D. Rednond, A. M. Redmond, E. L. Patton, George F. McClellan, Willia- w A. Miller, J. C. Taunehill, James G. Buchanan and Attorney Howard. The case had its beginning more than a year ago when sensational charges were made against Attorney Howard and his associates, which caused his suspension from the United States Department of Justice in which he was serving as Special Assistant to the Attorney General. The first trial was held December 1928 and the defendants were acquitted. Trial on the second group of charges were held in the spring of this year at Meridian and again Attorney Howard and his associates were acquitted. The closing of the case, according to friends of the National Committee, has indirectly vindicated him and they are congratulating him on every hand. It is believed that the real purpose of the indictment was to fore him to resign from the national Republican Committee, but Attorney Howard some months ago sent a brief rumor with the statement to the Associated Negro Press that he had no intention whatever of resigning from the post to which he had been duly elected. PATTI BROWN LEAVES FOR SOUTH AMERICA TOUR Chicago. Now. 25—By A.N.P.—Encouraged by her former triumphs in the southern hemisphere. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, the pioneer prima donna, sails Saturday, November 23, upon the Steamship Vauhan for Georgetown, Barbados, Berbice, San Fernando, and other places. Mme. Brown enjoys the coveted distinction of being the other important singer of the race who has made tours in South America. Washington, D.C. Nov 25—By A. N.P.-President Hoover.

The statement follows: "Both as President of the United States and as President of the American Red Cross, I earnestly be speak the co-operation of every American citizen in the great humitarian work of the Red Cross. "Its prompt efficiency in time of disaster, and its continuing service in numerous less spectacular but no less important tasks of relief, make it an indispensable part of our national life every American should be a member, and I urged all to enroll—Herbert Hoover." KILLS OFFICER BY MISTAKE Dunham, N. C., Nov. 25-By A.N. P.-After maintaining his innocence for more than three weeks, Nathan Blake, age 24, confessed that he fired the shot that killed Deputy Sheriff Will Hall, several weeks ago. Immediately following the killing, Blake was arrested on suspicion but stoutly declared that he knew nothing of the killing. Wednesday morning when grilled again by officers working on the case, he is alleged to have confessed to the crime, but declared that he did not know Hall was an officer, but thought he was someone tampering with a liquor cache owned by himself and several others. This cache, according to the alleged statement of Blake, had been tampered with several times, and he and his associates agreed to shoot and kill and tamperer. On the night of the killing Blake came upon Hall tampering with the liquor treasure and he opened fire on him, killing the officer instantly. When he discovered that he had killed an officer of the law, he was very much grieved, he told officers, and regretted the affair very much. Blake has no prison record, but it is thought that his family connections will work against him, when the trial comes up. He is the nephew of "Little Blood" and "Big Blood" Wiggus, who have the reputation of being exceedingly tough and who are now serving terms in the state prison. MISSOURI ATTORNEY TO PUB PUBLISH BOOK Jefferson City, N. C., Nov. 25—By A.N.P.-Attorney Robert S. Cobb of Jefferson City, Mo., who is a special Assistant to the Missouri Workmen's Compensation Commission will in the near future publish a book on Social problems of the Missouri Negro. Mr. Cobb who served eight years as Executive Secretary of the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission will give the public the benefit of his experience as a student of social problems. An intensive survey is now being made which embraces studies in economic, penal, educational, and industrial problems as they pertain to the colored citizens of Missouri. Mr. Cobb announced that the publication will be released early in 1930. He is now the only colored assistant to the State Compensation Commission with offices in the State Capitol at Jefferson City. SPORT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Boxing-Vaud., Elks Hall, Benefit Dixie Kid, Mon. Night, Dec.2 Faulk-Eight TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF LOW RATES IN ELECTRICITY FOR L.A. Residents of Los Angeles served by the City-Owned Department of Water and Power will be able to cook their meals electrically for as low as a penny a meal per person and enjoy electrical refrigeration in their home for less than $1.50 a month as a result of the new low rates made to be effective by the Department on January 1. In a statement issued by General Manager H. A. Van Norman of the Department, these two home economies were listed among a number of other benefits that will result to the domestic, commercial and industrial electrical consumer through the reduction in rates by the City-Owned Power System. "A direct savings of approximately $1,200,000 annually will be realized by consumers served by the City-Owned Power System as a result of the new rate reduction it was stated. If the private electric company also operating in Los Angeles lowers its rates to meet the schedule of the City-Owned system, the consumers on these lines will be saved another $700,000. It was pointed out. "Giving a concrete example of the savings that will be enjoyed by domestic consumers, through the new rate cut on City-owned lines, Van Norman stated: "In the first place the maximum domestic rate of 5 cents per kilowatt hour, as now charged, is being reduced to 4.8 cents." "Furthermore, under the new low rates, after the domestic's consumer has used $1.70 worth of energy, all additional current, up to 175 kilowatt hours, may be secured at practically HALF-PRICE or for only 2 1-2 cents. The energy used over the 175 kilowatt level may be secured for only 2 cents kilowatt hour or less than half price. "Under these rates it will be possible for the family being served by our City-Owned Power System to cook its meals electrically for only a penny a meal per person—and to enjoy the benefits of electrical refrigeration for less than $1.50 per month." BLACK BILL FISTIC SURPRISE New York, Nov. 23.—Black-Bill of Cuba, as picturesque little chunk of ebony as has appeared on the fistic horizon in years, today stood at the threshold of boxing's hall of fame with only one bout barring his path to the world's flyweight championship. The diminutive Cuban Negro, practically unknown until the garden's journey to decide a flyweight champion was started, advanced to the rank of leading contender for the title by decisively whipping Eugene Huat of France in their 0-round bout at the garden last night. Huat, European champion and knockout victory over the great Spider Pludner, was an 3 to 5 favorite to beat the Cuban, but neither the betting odds nor Huat's reputedly heavier punch were enough to stop Bill. The grotesque appearing little coal black fighter simply swarmed all over the highly touted French youth and marped and clawed his way to a victory. Bill might easily serve as an artist's model for a Gargoyle, but his actions in the ring were more like those of the "artful African Dodger" of carnival fame. Bene De Vos of Belgium, European middleweight champion, scored a declare 10-round victory over Harry Ebbets, Fessport, L. K. slugger in the other feature event. The bout was advertised as a contest to decide the next opponent for Mickey Walker and the middleweight champion was expected to be at the ringside. Walker failed to appear and likewise the bout failed to develop an outstanding contender for his title. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened The Golden Bears of California went down in defeat at the hands of the Red Horde from the farm up at Palm Alto. From all reports of the game it was a thriller all the way through although the bears did not get pass the 50 yard line more than twice. The Warner men had them weed in check. It was supposed to be a Bear day, but it wasn't in the books for the boys from Berkeley to defeat the Stanford Reds. California was a big pregame favorite and the long odds were on them. The Cordinals just messed up all things up the way around for California and the Pacific Coast Conference in general. BEARS LOOKED LIKE CHAMPS On paper the Berkley boys looked like the champs of the West. They were supposed to have everything and it so turned out that they had nothing and lots of it, when it came to the scoring end. FOUR TEAMS TIED Conference now stands as a result of Stanford's victory Saturday, in a four cornered tie for the conference title. The Warner men spoiled the conference hopes of Cal and also made it impossible for Krambling Benny Lom to get on the All American this year. All in all they treated the Bear to some rough treatment and no less. KETCHEL STOPS DIXON IN BIG UPSET Wesley Ketchel of Portland pulled a big surprise last week when he stopped George Dixon of Oakland in the first, round of a ten round bout. Dixon was a big favorite to win and the gambling sect had long odds on the dark boy to take the bout with little trouble by a Knockout or a decision. Dixon took Ketchel's measure once before with ease and this match was considered a set-up, but the south saw from Portland pulled a fast one and let him have a fast one to the lug that had the dusky boy walking around in a dream a minute after the flight had started. BEST IN NORTH George Dixon is or was considered to be the beat in the north at the middleweight poundage. He had been everything that came his way and was doing it with ease. The upset that Katchall pulled off has upset things something terrible in a fissile way up north and no doubt there will be a rematch. Then the fens will be able to tell if the victory scored by the hard hitting south-paw was a fluke or if he really has the great George Dixon's number. In a return match the dusky boy should be the favorite, that is taking stock on the past records of the two men. Where is Jimmy Black? What has happened to Jimmy Black now? For a while Jimmy was doing good and was 'taking everything that come his way, but we hear very little from the kid now and we wonder just what is the matter. It seems a hard matter for the kid to get the matches he should get. When you get too good none of the boys on top want to have anything to do with you. That is the way with Jimmy. He can beat most of the boys on top that weigh around 28 and they know it and start clear of him. His stuntmaster Chalky Wright is going great games and is fighting often and winning all or them, most of them by K. O. The Orange Belt, Arena at San Bernardino has been closed the past two weeks, but will open its doors with an all star card. The crew coming on the fifth should offer plenty of excitement and action. SAL AND RITCHIE KING Hess Elkins the matchmaker at the San Berdoo club offers for his customers approval a Bary Sal Sorin, Ritchie King battle and it should be a fight from start to finish. King and Sal have fought the best men in the game today. The Mexican in the hardest hitte, but King is an old timer at the game and knows every in and out and possibly a little more than that. Ritchie is somewhat of a boxer too and those fellows that can box usually have Sal just where they want him after a round or two. A good boxer can beat Sorina any day in the week. The Mex seems to loose its head and falls to do anything right. When he goes up against a man with any kind of a rep, at all its just too bad. He develops that old infertility complex to the 9th degree and regardless of what his handlers tell him he goes in there a kaken man before the battle even starts. SHOULD BEAT KING Sal should by all rights take King. He is younger than Ritchie, he hits harder than the Blond Tiger as King is some times known. Ellkins has no all star card supporting the attractive mala event. Auga Caliente Draws Spotlight Today is Bowie. And then it won't be long before the Eastern tracks will be folded up for the winter. Everything will lock Westward to Sunny California. The coming of Kid North with three powerful strakes to Auga Caliente will make things sum on the border. North who is well known in the Sporting world will manage the James N. Welch, wealthy Los Angeles broker, stables. The Meadowbrook Stock Farm's stable with a string of money horses that are powerful runners, he will also rain and manage. The Edward Stens stable with six horses as Dr. Hickey, San Ysidro, San Joaquin and Bon-Bobby. Lovers of the sport of Kings, get ready. This will be the greatest season in the history of racing down on the border. Jackson, Campbell, Fernandez, Hess and Zorrilla Local Favorites Jackson, Campbell, Fernandez, Hess and Zorrilla Local Favorites Matchmakers are murmuring over the lack of good first material. Especially the small clubs which would be wrapped up in mourning shrouds were it not for the willingness of the few stars such as Ritchie King Fredie Fitzserald, Young Peter Jackson, Nell Cisby, and Willie Henry. Not any of them have earned any money for the number of times they have started. It looks like this should be a great fight town, but it is not. Jack Kisby says it is nine o'clock now—so it is. Figuratively speaking the black box pens are only sometimes Negroes do not support the colored boxes. There would be more colored boys being at the Olympic every week if we would only support them, hence no support, then no work for the boys. The few rabbid fans there cannot pay all the thrill. A match in the making will be a great fight if Harry Pett can induce Windy Windows to sign Dummy. Mission to light special delivery Sammy Jackson the Santa Monica beach boy who has really arrived at the top. Then there is the feature coming up—Santiago Zorrita, the dazzling lit MACK TAKES VERDICT OVER TOD MORGAN IN OVERWEIGHT MATCH IN TEN ROUNDS BOUT SLOW, VERY LITTLE ACTION; SECOND DEFEAT FOR CHAMP Eddie Mack the college boy from the Rocky Mountains took another decision over the junior lightweight champion Tuesday night in a bout that bird very little action! Mack's win over Morgan, Tuesday, made the contest two victories and a draw in Eddie's favor. The college kid has leashed the champ twice and has held him to a draw, all in overweight matches. He should be able to do the same thing at the championship weight. It Ted Morgan and his manager will give him a chance at the title. NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT The scrap was nothing to holler about to anyone. The action, the lit there was, was in spots only. Once or twice it looked as if the cash customers were going to have something to yell about, but they were mistaken and it was only a flash in the pan.

That's "Spook Added to the bang-up mystery of this play is a generous KENNEDY Jack Kennedy the famous navy gellerie made a little talk around about the eighth round that had the gallery gods and al lure rest up in the air's to its meaning. The fight was going along fast enough to please the famous navy man and he got out in the middle of the ring and said, "No matter what happened there would be no draw called in the fight. We don't know just what the reason on was for this little speech, but I guess Jack wanted them to know that he didn't feel very drawnifed that night. Whatever his announcement was for it served to pea the two gladiators on a bit and they hit the ball for a round, throwing punches from hea to Kalamazoo. MACK GOT THE DUKE ON HIS FINISH Sid Torres the herd hitting Filipino dropped Frankie Murray for an eight count in the second round, but he didn't have encounts left to put him away for good and the bout went the limit. Willie Siegel took the mod over Rita Punay, that had the Loyds upstairs howling like the wolves. Sid Ecklund put the skids under Pat Yanko in the fourth when the referee stopped the battle because Pat was bother under the weather. Ken Kent the boy room up north beat Jackie Stewart in the opener. I Wonder Why---? —Ceyton Russell, the Insurance Specklist, would rather be a clergyman? —Nina Mae McKinney's name is not listed in the telephone book? - Most stories dealing with the South have servants notlessly slipping in and out of the room bearing whiskey and soda or must jalps? - Most typewriters have no exclamation points.

"SPOOKS" AND GHOSTS COMING TO LINCOLN With all the essential ghostly trappings "Spooks" will invade the Lincoln Theatre next week when Robt. Levy's all star colored Lafayette Players will present the thrilling, chilling mystery drama of this name. Out of Cimmerian darkness, intensified rather than relieved by the faint lighting of the scene, comes the sharp staccato slam of a door, a long piercing shriek ending on a high quarering, sobbing note, then the muched gasps of a woman in terror. That's "Spooks." Added to the bang-up mystery element of this play is a generous dose of comedy. Not subtle, sophisticated comedy, but a series of side-splitting episodes that weaken one almost as much as the terrifying events. And to cap it all, "Spooks" has a sweet love story running through it. Robert Sherman, author of this okey has paid careful attention to his plot building with the results that there is not one weak link in the entire chain of happenings, and the audience is absolutely unable to even hazard a guess as to how the outcome. The story of "Spooks" concerns itself with the will of an eccentric old man who has decreed that his four nieces and nephews must live for three consecutive nights in the haunted house in which he died in order to inherit his large fortune. If they fail to do this, the money reverts to other persons. How these four characters endeavor to carry out this command, and the agonizing events which transpire to thwart their purpose constitutes the mystery element of "Spooks." Evelyn Preer and Andrew Bishop will have the romantic leads, and others in the company will have the important supporting roles. Dangerous! Of all the petty love thieves that infest society, the unscrupulous woman who steals her best friend's husband is one of the most despicable creatures. She takes advantage of her position as a friend of the family and gets in on the ground floor. She knows her friend's short comings; she knows the husband's weakness; the unsuspecting wife trusts her, and she has every advantage. Seldom if ever does this disqualify type of woman really love the man she sets out to win. It is sheer vanity on her part and she wants to be nothing else but a vamp. Kid Chocolate Cancels Bout Because of Illness Kid Chocolate the most sensational fight in the game today was forced to cancel a bout for Monday night be- cause of illness. This is the first time during his career that the kid has been forced to call off a bout. The bout was to have been with Mike O'Dowd of Ohio. Many believe that it is Chocolate's heart that is bothering him and that eventually he will lay up the gloves for keeps.

At least seven "Pullman" porters are badly frightened and shaken up as a result of the "Southern Pacific" crack limited train, the "Oregonian" jumping the track near Soto. More then 150 passengers on the train were badly shaken but none required medical attention, nine of 13 cars were derailed, these included seven Pullmans, a mail car and express coach. L. A. COFFIN GRAND DELE GUIDE TO The P. P. B. A. Convention Leaves For Chicago Pullman porter instructor L. A. Colf, who was elected as Grand Delegate to the P. P. B. A. convention in session at Chicago, left this city last Tuesday to represent local No. 1. Mr. Coffin, just before leaving started that he had a brief case full of proposals from local No. I which he would make every effort to put over while in session, the P. P. B. A. is now in strong competition with the new insurance which has just been entered in the field by the Prudential like insurance company. It is thought by many that this company which has placed a substitute insurance in place of the free insurance formerly carried by the Pullman Company. Has entered the field for the purpose of driving the P. P. B. A. to the wall, therefore the results and reports of this convention will be of particular interest to the porters of this district. Mr. Coffin expects to be back home by Thanksgiving, when he will call meetings to deliver his report. WINDOWS PROVIDED FOR UPPER BERTHS Upper berths of sleepers on one Western road now are equipped with windows to add to the comfort of passengers. The windows are smaller than the regulation car window, but provide more circulation than the ventilators in the roofs, commonly employed to supply the occupants of the uppers with fresh air. This modern improvement may eventually increase the patronage of upper berth traveling, as it is common complaint from passengers, that they prefer a lower to an upper, because they can get more fresh air therefore porters can begin to prepare themselves to make down their car top and bottom. HENRY FORD MAKES PLEA FOR HIGHER WAGES Pulman Porters who have been struggling for the past five years for higher wages should be particularly interested in the advice given to President Hoover by the present leader of the automobile industry. In conference with the President of the United States, Mr. Ford laid great stress on the fact, that wages of the working man must go up if he country expects to get back public confidence, and recover from the present depression in business. He further backs up his advice by announcing that he will shortly increase the wages of all his employees. Some of the highlights in Mr. Ford's talk with the President are as follows: "Money in the people's hands represents purchasing power." "In this country the purchasing power of the people has been practically used up, and still they have not been able to buy all that they must have. I therefore suggest the need of increasing the purchasing power of our principal customers—the American people." This he claims may be done in two ways, first by putting additional value into goods, or reducing prices to the level of actual values; and second, starting a movement to increase the general WAGE level. Nearly everything in the country is too high priced. too high priced. "The only thing in this country that should be high priced is the man who works." "Wages must not come down; they must not even stay on their present levels, THEY MUST GO UP." "Even that is not efficient auto itself. We must see to it that the increased wages are not taken away from our people by increased prices, that do not represent increased values." "The country gains no benefit by letting the working man earn $100.00 then taking it away from him in increased rents and a tax in prizes generally." Mr. Ford who has always been the foremost proponent of high wages in industry, seems to have struck the key note to the working man's salvation. He shocked the conservatives of industry some years ago when his minimum wage of $5 a day day policy at a factory paying as low as $2 a day; and since that time the wage level in the Ford industry has constantly ascended. TRAVELING CHIEF THOR HARRISON SENIOR COLDER CLARK RISON SEEKS GOLDER CLIMES The big jolly traveling chef of the Southern Pacific, Mr. Thomas Harrison, departed this tropic climate for the artie regions of Chicago last week on a movie special. I have been informed that Mr. Harrison refused to be bothered by such things as flimay B. V. D's, and covered his hide with a coonskin overcoat and a half a dozen suits of red flannel underwear. The boy's claim the chef was air tight when he left these shores. PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS H. L. Armstrong operating on line 28 to San Diego, was taken suddenly ill last week while making down his car. He was relieved from duty and taken home, where he is under the care of a physician at the present writing. Dan Hood who was stricken down with illness sometime ago, is still at home and under the doctor's care. William White is still confined to Oliveview Sanitarium, but is gaining in health. T. Tait let a window drop on his fingers in the Graff Zeppelin last week. And so, J. L. Barnett gets the Sacramento line. A. W. Starks drops back to his old home, The Sunset. Chester ducks the cold weather on the Chicago line. Big Walker makes a change, and a good one. Joe Holmes is wild cating around the country by the request of Mr. O. W. last seen, headed for Houston, Texas. H. E. Washington is exploring the regions of the Northwest; last seen headed for Seattle. H. J. Prescott makes a change for the better. Jasper is still sight-seeing around the country. And Wyndon gets a peek at Phoenix, Arizona while it's cool. It begins to look like a tough extra board for the winter. * * * * PULLMAN CONDUCTORS MUST STAND UNIFORM INSPECTION The Pullman Conductors were mumbling to themselves as they read the latest bulletin in the order book, requesting them to stand uniform inspection before the platform man in order to get their checks. This is the first time in five years that such an order has been issued; the order takes effect November 30. Ambrosia McGowan. Chicago East porter almost got leit in town last week; five seconds before departure of his train, a passenger asked him to get him some ginger ale in the Harvey House. The train was well on its way to its destination when McGowan procured the ale, and he had to strut his stuff in a lively manner to overtake the rear end. RED CAP KILLS JACKRABBIT IN SANTA FE DEPOT Last week quite a little confusion was created in the busy little depot of Era railroad, when a shakey looking jackrabbit made a wild dash from down in the river bottoms thru the station for liberty. Newbsboy, taxi cab drivers, ticket agents, station master and red caps took out in an effort to stop the wild run of Mr. Rabbit, but it took the nimble Mr. Sam Pankey to bag the game. Sam who was raised with jackrabbits, knew what it was all about, amg grabbed a brick, took aim, and Mr. Jack was served in great style for Mr. Pankey's supper at the Johnson Cafe. WHY THE ROOSTER? Just about dusk one day last week, Thomas Nash, and Speedy Harris were seen gliding down Central Avenue in Speedy's car with a monosontural big rooster. We are asking that all residents of Los Angeles who have chickens in their back yards to please check over their birds so that my operatives can determine which coop the towl was kidnapped from. I have been informed from reliable sources that Speed and Nash intend to fatten this bird for their Christmas dinner. Advise Railroad Clatter for further information: Joe Daggett states that a strange man from his home has been inquiring for him for the past week or so. He further states that the man made the remark that he had not seen Joe for sixteen years. My operative informs me that he accidently dropped a pair of handcuffs while asking of Joe's whereabouts. Use your own judgment Joe. McDougal was all smiles last week and who won't be with the deeds and title to a home in their possession. Marshal Hanks, the hot papa seems to have got his wires crossed last week. Too many mamas. "Buddy Boy" Grandison was in town last week, and displayed a wide grit on his handsome face. We wonder why? Norman Steward and E. G. Brooks, the two shields of the Santa Fe, were staring in a movie drama with Marion Davis last week, and now you cannot For that Delicate Touch of Fragrance MURDER, THRILLS, BOME MENACE PROTECTION OF WITNESSES ENGROSSES AT TENTION OF STATE Chicago, Nov. 25—By A.N.P. Eight jurors in eight days, a juror a day, now adjournment! That is the record to date of the latest attempt of the State of Illinois to bring to account the persons, re- sponsible for the death of Octavious Granacy on primary election day, April 10, 1928. Into the courtroom of Judge Joseph David, most dramatic of Cook County's jurists, where five policemen, one a heintenant, and four gangsters, are being jointly tried for the murder, have filed, day after day, a steady stream of veniremen, running into the hund- reds, but of the many called only eight have been chosen. The tedium of the proceedings has caused the impatient judge to avail himself of every legal device to insure speed and to appear to keep both defense and prosecuting attorneys under the lash of a whip intended to spur them to action. But his lectures have done little good. The lawyers, there are nine of them, were scolded by the court by what seemed to him to be repetitions and useless questions, but the attorneys have brushed away the harsh words of the judge with a wave of the hands as though they were annoying flies. They do not intend to be hurried. In exasperation, the court has criticized the state law which leaves punishment in the hands of jurors, instead of the judge. The state asking for the death penalty for the nine defendants, and scores of veniremen have evacued service by owning to conscious scruples against the death penalty. One's impression in the courtroom is that it will do the court no good to be impatient. Haste is out of the question where the issues involved are so great. Too much depends upon the outcome of this unique legal battle for either side to submit to prodding. John Hawkins has returned to work after being off for a few days. Frank Thompson has returned to work after suffering a sick spell of over a week. "Parlor Car" Phillips has a head full of useless moalars, which he is trying to muster up courage enough to have extracted. Austin Harris, formerly of Chicago, is ill at the home of his brother, Speed Harris. Norman Stewart was supposed to be off on a two weeks' vacation, but we have since learned that he spent the entire time trying to learn the game of poker. Norman X. Jones met with a serious accident last week, but is now on the way to recovery. Speed Harris is burning the high- vays since he has taken his Wyllis Knight out of the hospital. Mrs. Harris is now fully recovered from the automobile accident she had some time ago. More than than money is at stake. Human lives, human careers, and political systems are to be weighed in the scales of justice. The court has instructed all persons of the purpose of the summons, Five policemen, Lijust. Phillip Carroll, the 300-pound squad leader, and his men, George Tapling, Walter Biles, Michael Shannon and Michael Loughey, and four gangsters, all Italian, John Armondo, Thomas Sonnario, James Balecastro, and Louis Clemente, have been indicted for the murder of Granady. The ex-jewish may be chosen to determine the guilt of these men, according to the evidence and the law, and without prejudice to race, color creed, or nationality. But there is much to this important trial than just that, and many persons know it. Within the small confines of the courtroom of Judge David, the City of Chicago is on trial. Granady's murder is but an incident, an incident which certain forces have chosen to correct in order to prove that the forces of law and order in this great municipality of three million are not demoralized. Granady's murder, committed cold-bloodedly after a phase of more than a mile through the streets in a broad daylight, has constituted for a year and a half a challenge to those who believe that the law should be supreme. The bullets which took Granady's life sped on into the moral fibre of a great city and caused decent citizens to suspect that they were defenseless. might be walking the streets today unimpersonated by the process of law. The State, led by Frank J. Loesch president of the Chicago Crime Commission, and a member of President Hoover's National Commission on law enforcement, has made repeated efforts to make somebody pay for the crimes committed on the bloody April 10 that Granady died. But except for small fines, its efforts have been futile. After months of laborious investigation and the expenditure of thousands of collars, cases built up by the state were shattered as so much nothing. Witnesses were intimidated, some fled. Juries were unsympathetic. Some are said to have been tampered with. The state's attorney's are said to have wrenched. The investigators differed. After more than a year of fruitless effort, the city was disgusted and the felling became current that April 10 would be forgotten. But not so! Loesch was not willing to give up, to admit defeat or failure. Quietly, the strife within his own ranks was eradicated and the investigation proceeded. It proceeded to the startling conclusion that the five police officers, now indicated, were part of a conspiracy intended to try stood at the announcement. The state's attorney, John A. Swanson, who had been elected because he was thought to be aligned with the elements which wished to correct the conditions responsible for Granady's murder, backed up off the charges against the policemen. His chief investigator, Patrick Roche, was reluctant to touch the matter. The chief of police, William Russell, suspended his men with a sigh. His chief deputy, John Stege, who had formerly been Loesch's chief investigator in the Granady affair, declared that the policemen had nothing to do with it. Sheridan A. Brusseaux, detective employed to test out the criminals, likewise declared the policemen innocent. The newspapers were found to have lost their arder. They with held criticism, we waited JAMES H. GARROTT ARCHITECT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS BLUE PRINTS TUcker 6431 TUcker 3883 843 Central Avenue for Loesch to show his hand without any encouragement. Thus have fallen away from Loesch the agencies which would be expected to yield most encouragement. Upon the shoulders of him and his assistants, William Haynes and Charles Lounsbury, it is sought to place all responsibility for credit or blame in this important action. In such manner has cognizance been taken of the fact that the lyes of five policemen and four gangsters are being sought as punishment for the slaying of one Negro. The attitude of the state's attorneys in the courtroom is, as a consequence of all this wary. One of their principal witnesses has been murdered. An attempt was made to steal their records. After the summonses for prospective jurors were issued the men were visited, asked not to serve, and threatened with death if they did serve. Desperate gangsters are on trial. They have bombed the home of a United States senator. Why not an American courtroom. So watchful eyes are vigilant. The state is not unmindful of the apathy of the public, nor of the under-the-surface factors which makes its ease difficult. The dead man was a Negro. The state's attorneys, one of them a Negro are going to ask a jury of twelve white men for the lives of nine white men in payment for the life of that Negro, who, in the minds of many of the jurors, may not seem to have been quite a man. USED ON 10,000,000 HEADS THERE'S A REASON It's O'PAL HAIR DRESSING CREAM O'PAL MFG. CO. 1221 LOTTAGE CROVE AVENUE CHICAGO, IL MEN and WOMEN Prejudice will constitute the big factor in the case, in spite of one of the most fair-minded judges in Au American court. The state hopes for a jury of intelligent men who will decide the question of guilt or innocence on the evidence and the law. The defense can hardly hope for the same. Not openly, but overtly, the defense counsel may be expected to feel their way to twelve jurors whose feelings will ultimately become a factor in favor of the defendants. Roughly, the state may be said to be seeking educated men for jurors, with the chances for prejudice less; the defense, undecided men, with the chances for prejudice greater. It is this feeling out process which is prolonging the selection of a jury. The state accepts a panel; the defense excuses the entire panel. Another time, it is the other way round. MAKE. RESERVATIONS FOR THAT DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING DINNER And the judge paces behind his chair. The defendants view the proceedings mildly. What is going on now is not nearly so interesting to them as what will occur later. They regard tall, bronze Haynes indifferently as he examines the veniement. There is no sign that they are thinking anything when Haynes and his white associate, Lounsbury, place their heads close together, in an effort to make surer a tragic fate for them. Carroll, the police hestentant, has probably knocked down many men who look like Haynes. Now one of them is seeking his life in a court of justice. Fate is indeed ironic. Prepared by Mrs. W. M.
