1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929 Number 29 ELKS HEAD VISITS CALIF. ON THE SIDEWALK By C. A. B. Down the ages there are those who are want to deny the emaculate conception of the Christ. But there are others who recognize the fact that Christ the son of God came to earth; lived and moved among men, and gave his life as a ransom that men might enjoy life eternal, who express their appreciation for this most sacred event in riotousness. Christmas morning along the Avenue, from Pico to 55th street, there were signs of rockless driving and many automobile smash-ups furnishing grim reminders that there are those among us who celebrate the birth of Christ by disturbing the peace of others rather than helping to establish peace in His name and for His sake. ON THE MORNING of December 24, 1929, the Golden State Insurance held its annual Christmas Tree series in the company's assembly hall. I had been invited to look in upon this pre-Christmas reunion of employers and employees, and believe me, friends, if I confess that I crushed into the building feeling a bit burdened and depressed because of the many responsibilities resting upon my shoulders at that time. But when the door was thrown wide and my genial little friend and vice-president of the company, Geo. A. Browns, Jr., gave me a most hearty welcome,idding me in the meantime to enter, which I did, and upon entering looked into the faces, all happy and merry, of more than one hundred agents and office help assembled about a shining Christmas Tree laden with presents from a box of choice chocolates for ye humble scribe to big, fat turkeys for those agents who had wrought well. Everyone present received from the un-frocked "Santy." Mr. Norman Houston, from one to four presents from the tree. The Golden State Quartette furnished Christmas music for the occasion. Nor was he absent, as is the case with most heads at such times. President William Nickerson, Jr., was there, with his finger on the pulse of this affair, and with every glance blinked his approval. The Golden State is destined under its present leadership to become the greatest insurance company in the country. THERE SEEMS to be one place in the whole, wide, wonderful, beautiful world, where women reign supreme. And that place is Shelton, Wash., where it is said that most of the doctors are feminine. By the way, Shelton is in Mason County, and the county auditor is Ida Rex Loughnan, county clerk, Dora Fredson; justice of the peace, Susie E. Pauley; postmaster, Jessie Knight. IT IS SAID that a large restaurant in the center of Paris has instructed the "Casseur" at the door to take note of the make of car in which each patron arrives. His plan of procedure, it seems, is to judge a man's pocketbook by his means of locomotion. Too bad if the Central Avenue cafes pursued the same course. THE REJECTION of Reginald Wier and Gerald L. Norman, Jr., colored applicants for entree in the National Junior Indoor Tennis Association by the United States Lawn Tennis Association is being vigorously protested by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The fight is headed by Robert W. Bagall. "If the fact are as stated," said Bagnall in a formal letter of protest, "the rejection or the entries is an action unfair, unsportsmanlike and calculated to degrade the sport and professionit TAIO the sport you profess to cultivate and against which we as well as many other Americans, white and colored, wish to protest in the strongest terms." At the offices of the U. S. L. T. A., it was announced that the two entries in question had been rejected, without comment, by the tournament committee consisting of John J. Tucker, A. Castle Postley, Herbert L. Bowman, W. Diecinson Cunningham, Benjamin F. C'Brien, Samuel A. Ritchie, Arthur S. Cragin, Richard Jones and Erdman Brandt. The tournament begins here Thursday. SUNDAY MORNING, Dec. 22, a body of Religious and Social Workers headed by Mrs. Baker visited the Stockade at Lincoln Heights, held an early morning service and a band of women in white robes singing cheerily as they moved about prepared and served a turkey dinner to these (Continued on page 3) Saturday, December 21, 1929 many, especially the older settlers, were shocked when they learned of the sudden passing to Dr. A. D. Bowers, who was the owner of a drug store located at 55th Street and Long Beach avenue. Dr. Bowers, who was forty-one years of age, was born in the state of Louisiana. He leaves a wife, son, father and mother, two sisters and three brothers.

H. Wilson's car collided with another about 17 miles south of Bakersfield, driven by a Mr. Ovett, bearing an Idaho license. The occupants of Rev. Wilson's car were Rev. Geo. S. Martin of Pasadena, and Mr. Alex Wilson, a brother of Rev. Wilson, Rev.

Wilson bruises and cuts, caused by splintered glass from the windfield. Rev. Wilson's car was damaged very badly. He was travelling at a rate fabout 25 miles per hour while the other car was going 55. The traffic cop gave his report wholly in favor of Rev. Wilson and absolutely absolved him of all blame.

Bowie Post, 228 of the American Legion and ably assisted by the Daughter Elks. Legion Auxiliary, the Federated Women's Club and other civic and religious organizations. It was a glorious day for the kiddies who not only enjoyed the program but took the program away from the grown-up participants and then gave the youngsters a thrill a minute. Besides the fifteen hundred toys, the ice cream from the Globe Ice Cream Company which had been donated, and the thousands of bags of canies, fruits and nuts procured by the Elks and Legion, the public response to the community tree was marvelous. Hundreds of persons brought little toys to the theatre to swell the number an additional eight hundred and because of this public generosity everyone of the three thousand children were able to get something in the way of a present as well as the afternoon's entertainment. The program opened with Princess Bell at the Wurlitzer rendering "Silent Night" with the chimes to usher in the true Christmas spirit. Rev. W. C. Sampsel offered prayer and Rev. S. M. Beane explained to the kiddies joyous meaning of Christmas and then led them into the Christmas Carol singing "Joy to the World." The famous Lafayette Players rendered a toy shop Xmas sketch and Clarence Muse and Stepin Fetchit offered a little skit before the rpgam was turned over to the juvenile talent which stole the show. Mr. Wrango, the famous reader from K-G-F-J gave the kiddies, a nice little talk. On the juvenile program amongst the girls, Marion Johnson and Beverly Hill were captivating. Among the boys Jack Williams dancer and his partner Dudley Brooks, pianist, stopped the show while babies Ancel and Hugo Hill made the theatre shake with a mirthquake with antics. Other kiddies on the program who rendered good numbers were Eugene Jackson and brother, Fannie and Prisilla Smart, little J. T. Gibson, Wendell Franklin, Raines Sisters, Henry Collins, Jr. Robert Russell and Lincoln Fox. The talent of the entire program was graciously donated and thankfully received by the organizations sponsoring the celebration. The committees in charge of the program were Major Loving and Chas.

The fact that the company is able to declare a dividend at this time favors it with two unique distinctions. It is the only corporation in the world managed and controlled by Negroes which is organized for the purpose of dealing in oil royalties. It is one of the very few concerns that has been able to declare a cash dividend out of profits on its common stock in a period of two years. The company was organized in Sep. of 1927, with an authorized capital stock of $100,000. It did not, however, begin actual operation until January, 1928, since that time it has had a remarkable growth. It has at the present time outstanding, issued and paid up stock in the aggregate value of $20,150. It has producing royalty income holdings in the Earlsbord Fields of Semnole County, the Asher Pool of Pottawatnie County, the Bristow Field of Creek County, the Begge Field of Okmulgee County, and an interest in more than 700 acres of unproductive Royalty in potential oil fields scattered throughout the state, which holdings have an aggregate value of more than $20,000. The Gross earnings and income of the company for the fiscal year 1929 will well exceed $10,000. It is upon the basis of this sound statement disclosing the financial conditions of the Company that a 10 per cent dividend was paid. A. gram arraged by Elmer C. Bartlett and his co-workers.

Interest is rampant in the investigation of the grand jury in alleged selling of civil service jobs and graft which opened here Friday, including Bishop Archibald J. Carey, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Carey was indicted several weeks ago when a white man testified that he had paid the Bishop or his representatives sums of money for jobs which were never delivered, and it alleged that promotions were contingent upon the amount of money paid for the recommendations. The most recent developments envolve the calling of Alderman Louis Br Cronson, the Jewish Alderman or the Fourth Ward, which is predominantly colored, as witness. According to the testimony of several policemen, these aldermen have been instrumental in having them reinstated in jobs which they had lost for various reasons. Aldermen Jackson and Anderson have stated that they would be willing to testify before the grand jury or any other body as they have nothing whatever to fear. Alderman Cronson who is a nephew of Corrigan Counsel, Samuel Ettelson, also willing to face the music and has declared that he has done nothing to defeat the purpose of the civil service commission. Bishop Carey, when indicted, stated that he was innocent of any grief charges and said the whole trial was a frame-up. The individual who brought in the charges that he had paid money for various client service jobs to the Bishops is said to be a confidence man part excellence and has a record in this sort of attorney. The Bishop declared at the first hearing and in a statement to the press, that he had only seen his answer once and that was when he, the Bish- tors In all events, there is much interest manified in the case and there are who believe that the charges are true and those who express the opinion that the whole affair is a frameup. The trial is the only answer to the question and that will be settled within the next several weeks. Of course, these possible indictments added to the long string which the grand juries and the special grand juries have unwound in the last two years, contribute to a large sense of bereavement in the mind of the general public. The motive of most of the indictments has been to visit punishment upon politicians, big and little, who were trafficking with the underworld and proving in other ways unfailful to their trists, but they have all failed to such an extent that the people have come to believe, other that the prosecutors are too dim, or the politicians are too smart, for the object sought to be gained. once the statements of politicians that they have nothing to fear is tak- en to mean either that they are con- ident of their innocence or of their ability, in one way or another, of est- ablishing their innocence or making their guilt impossible to prove. "Owl" Changes Name And Form (By The Associated Negro Press) Detroit Owl for a number of years one of this city's leading weekly newspapers, and until very recently the only "Tasloid" of which Detroit could boast, has changed its name, owner- ship and location. This paper which will be known as the "Detroit Telegram" goes from a five-column Tabloid to a standard seven-column newspaper with regular editorial, feature, sports, and women's pages and all that goes to make up a regular newspaper. There is ample room in Detroit for a third newspaper of the standard type says Charles C. Diggs who heads the certificate that purchased the old Qwl, and the "Telegram" will have its own work to do in serving the patrol. The Telegram will advocate and work for the promotion of clean politics among Negroes here. It will likewise be the mouthpiece for Elkdog. White Planter Chains Tennant To Tree Bogalusa, La., Dec. 24—James Piggot, white farmer of Pearl river swamp six miles from here, had a mitted that he chained from a Negro to a tree and that he had one arrested and returned to his farm to work out a debt. He denied, however, that he was guilty of peonage, on which charge he was arraigned in Federal Court at New Orleans, and released on $3,000 bond. He was indicted on December 5th. "That isn't peopage," he said to night on his return to his home. That's the custom hereabouts." Piggott, a huge man, six-foot three inches tall, is something of a hero in this section. One thing he is noted for is the killing of a Negro who shot Policeman Mitchell here about ten years ago. A posse sount the slayer who had hidden in a swamp, Piggott went in after him and shot him to death. "Herbert Dyson, one of the Negroes who had me indicted," Piggott said, "was arrested and given the option of going to jail or coming back to work on the farm and paying his debts. He chose the farm. He threatened to shoot a justice of the peace who was going to arrest him. Now when I had to drive the deputy sheriff who made the arrest back to Varnado near the Mississippi line, I chained the Negro to a tree to make sure he wouldn't get away and hurt anyone. "The others who filed the charge against Piggott are Gable Allen and Jesse Hill. "A Negro organization known as the United Brotherhood of North America," Piggott said, "is stirring up this Negro trouble over here." DePriest Urges Appointmen of Negro on Haitian Commission (By A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 24—In his maiden speech before congress, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois urged the House of Representatives to approve the request of President Hoover for power to appoint a special commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and that a Negro be appointed on the commission.

Parkway Chicago, Ill. a Negro should be placed on the commission, declaring that since the Haitian Republic was populated and "ruled" by members of the darker races that the natives would have more confidence in the commission, if a Negro was a member of the group. Congressman DePriest also expressed the desire to see the government tak such an interest in the welfare and development of black Americans as that manifested in the plight of Haitians, Millions of Negroes, who are "hypothetical citizens" of the United States, we yet denied their rights as citizens and it is the opinion of Congressman DePriest that the legislative bodies should be equally as interested in their well-being as that of the Haitians. The House of Representatives approved the commission and many of the democratic representatives voted for the appointment, which was commended by Congressman DePriest, who stated that "I am glad to see the gentlemen on the minority of the side of the House converted to the right way of thinking for once in their lives because I appreciate the condition of the balck Americans who are denied the right of self-determination in almost every state south of the Mason Dixie line. I congratulate the Democrats for starting in right in Haiti and conceding the common people the right of self-determination and hope it will spread to every state in America, and that we will all enjoy the same rights and privileges." WHAT KIND OF FOOL IS THIS? (By A. N. P.) Ahokies, N. C., Dec. 24—Citizens here recently protested against the opening up of a Negro pool room adjacent to a prominent neighborhood, giving as their reason that such an enterprise would result in the wholesale violation of various laws.

This writer reviewed the show on Wednesday night along with hundre s of others that choose Xmas night to see a play that expressed Good Will To Men in every line that was spoken. KIRKPATRICK, PREER STAR Sidney Kirkpatrick and Miss Evelyn Preeer were the stars in this vehicle. Kirkpatrick took the part of Elijah Bradshaw the leading citizen in Edenburg, Illinois. Miss Preer played the part of the Eternal Magdalene and nobly did she do it. Never before has this writer seen Evelyn surpass her performance of Magdalene. As leading citizen in this little town, Bradshaw is interested in a clean-up crusade against the tenderloin. Conducting this attack on the women of this district is Rev. James Gleason a highly paid mordecai evangelist. A great deal of excitement is created by this fight against the women and Bradshaw gets a letter from one of the women that invoke a curse upon him and his family. Andrew Bishop as John Bellamy a reporter of the "Star" brings hard, cold facts face to face with Braoshaw in regards to running the women of the Red Light district out and makes a bargain with the leading citizen. The bargain is if Bradshaw changes his mind and attitude about the women Bellamy may marry his daughter, Elizabeth (Theresa Brooks). Bradshaw sends his family to the tabernacle and he stays at home to finish up a statement he is to make for the newspapers. During the course of the evening he falls asleep and he goes back to years ago before he was married and e sees all of his sins. Miss Preer enters during his dream as a woman of the town and asks for work. At first Bradshaw is astonished that she would come to his house and ask for work, but she asks him to look in her eyes and he sees the image of the girl he once loved and left. The girl is taken in as a housemaid. During this time all the sins of Bradshaw are brought before him and the curse put upon him goes through to the letter. I could tell you just everything he saw in this dream and that would spoil it altogether as no one should miss this great play that concerns each and every one of us, beyond a doubt. See Evelyn as the "Eternal Magdalene," see Bradshaw realize he has and is making an excuse in driving these women out of town. See your life and mine laid out in cold, bare facts right before your eyes and spoken right to you. The players are truly wonderful in the story Magdalene. (By The Associated Negro Press) Lake Charles, La., Dec. 24.—Mrs. Ellen Moss known to have been more than one hundred years old, died here Thursday as the result of self-inflict COMMENTS the Golden Bear is a puzzler. It may be that Dr. Briggs, et al can give our doughtily Senator the answer. With State controller, Roy Riley, kicking over the traces, the anti-administrationers are having a hard time picking a candidate to measure strides with the present executive in the 1930 primaries. From present indications it would seem that former governor Richardson and former Lieunt. Governor Fitts will toss a coin for the priviledge. That may be the only way to determine who shall be who, and who, which, since Controller Riley announced his candidacy for the governors toga, candidates by the score are out for his office. Alexander Heron, director of finance, has sent in his resignation to the governor. Re-union has is that it takes effect Jan. 1, and that former state senator Lyman King will succeed to the office. The governor's office also loses the service of Keith Carlin who has been the executive private secretary. He resigns to resume his law practice. It is whispered in political circles that San Francisco Mayor has the governor bee buzzing about him and should it buzz too loud or sting, he will start down the line with the bunch in an endeavor to pocket the favorite. Going to be some fun boys; both national and state. Within a space of three hours, three destitute families from three different states applied to the aid society for succor. San Francisco is noted for philanthropy but it does not seem fair for other commonwealth to unload their indigents here. But such is fame: California Sunshine ed burns from an oil lamp. According to a story revealed today at a coroner's investigation, the woman went into her room, locked the dors, poured oil from a house lamp on her clothing and lighted her garments with a match.

Y., Dec. 24.—Heavy losses in employment were experienced by Negro workers in industrial centers during the month of November. Reports of labor advisors of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League indicate that a decrease in industrial employment that is more than seasonal, and greater than periodic decreases noted since 1927, having particularly affected Negro workers in Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. Because of the general depression in Detroit, due to the cessation of work in the industrial plants, many men who have recently come to the city have returned to their homes. In many cases the transportation of these men was paid by the Department of Public Welfare. The hope is hope is expressed, however, that with the resumption of industrial activity most of the men will return to their jobs. In Chicago the labor situation is reported as acute, several of the industrial establishments living laid off more than fifty per cent of their forces until January 1, 1930, or later; while male employment has shown a great decline, female workers have had most unsteady employment during the winter. The loss in female employment has been noted chiefly in the capron and smock factories and in the lamp shade industry. The unusual cold weather has brought many cases to the attention of social agencies.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... $1.25 Three Months ..... $.75 Per Copy ..... .05 Another year is about to close its affairs. Time moves on and with its daily records history is compiled. Birth has outdistanced death in the titanic struggle for control of the human race. War, death's most popular agent, has received a severe jolt from the hands of Education, and is permanently on the decline. Pussia is gradually recovering her national composure and demanding and guiling for her self the respect of neighboring nations who reluctantly see in her subjects, under proper leadership following ten years of a bloody revolution waged between the forces of autocracy and democracy, the rise of a new and powerful United States of Europeasia. The American pass time of practicing preparedness by empowering the naval marine with legal authority to shoot down and murder Haitian subjects still is a subject of International discussion, and a disgrace to the stars and stripes, that American Flag which unfortunately is simply a child in the hands of parents, the National Government. Effack American subjects of Uncle Sam through the concerted pooling of finance is today being looked upon and considered by white America as intelligent human beings capable of taking their place in national affairs instead of apes and monkeys whose ambition is to music. Lynching again has lost ground in the face of publicity, and Texas and other southern states are finding it an unprofitable pastime. Amen. The Philipine Islands have moved a step nearer independence. Good luck to our brown relatives. Mexico is slowly but surely arriving at a stable form of government and bids the black man enter its portals where unbounded business opportunities await him, where prejudice is unknown and the value of a man is based upon his true worth instead of his complexion. Truly friends we have much to be happy for locally and naturally as we take inventory preparatory to starting out upon the New Year. Let us band together not as Negroes, not as Caucausians not as Americans, but as human beings fighting neither black or white supremacy but for a humanitarian supremacy, a supremacy of the human race, a supremacy that has for its motto all men up, no man down. With this thought in mind Exhaust column closes its newspaper effort for the year ending 1929 and wishes those whose eyes scan it from time to time, also the entire Eagle force a Happy New Year.

Acts To Protect Jamaica Resident Menaced by Mo b New York, December 24.—Two representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, William T. Andrews, Special Legal Assistant and Frank M. Turner, Secretary of the Jamaica, Long Island, branch, will confer with T. S. Edwards of Jamaica, whose windows have been smashed, shrubbery about his house torn up, and threats made against his and his family's safety to drive him from his newly purchased home. The conference is to be held for the purpose of taking steps to assure full protection for Mr. Edwards, his family, and his property. The latest threat against Mr. Edwards took the form of a white man's visit and rude entrance into the house, holding up his hand which had been blackened before Mrs. Edwards. This white man said he was the owner of 30 houses in the neighborhood and would not permit colored people to live there, offered to reimburse to Edwards the amount paid for the house if the family would move out. He threatened that if they did not move, their house would be blown up. He also inquired of Mrs. Edwards as to the time of her husband's return home and the train he travelled on, information which Mrs. Edwards declined to give. During this white man's visit a group of other white people stood on the street. Mr. Edwards further reports that a local Democratic leader, named Dougherty was reported by a colored man named Sydnor to have threatened that the Edwards house would be bombed and that this bombing would be done by white people just as soon as the policeman now on guard was removed. Dougherty is also reported by Sydnor to have said that the bombing would have taken place two weeks ago had he, Dougherty, not interceded and persuaded the white men to let him handle the situation. He is reported to have said that he would "see Edwards and his family dead and in hell" before he would let them stay in their new home. Dougherty is further reported to have tried to intimidate Birmingham and his wife, who sold the house to Mr. Edwards. Mr. Edwards has had the broken glass in his srashed windows restored and is now living in the house with his wife but has not yet brought into it his children by a former marriage. A policeman has been constantly on guard since protection was requested from the Police Commissioner, Grover A. Whalen, by the N. A. A. C. P. Threats have also been made to Mr. Edwards that his first and second mortgages would be called, but of this action, Mr. Edwards has no fear as the first mortgage has two years to run and his second is for five years and is held by the party from has a jeweled headdress worth $50,0.20 That the Potter's wheel is believed to be the world's oldest piece of machinery which is still in use.

BY: CARL ECHOLS DEATH Poseadenans are still shocked at the sudden death of Mrs. Jordan, wife of Rev. B. J. Jordan, pastor of Scott Chargel. Mrs. Jordan died at the Methodist Hospital in Los Angeles.

Lewis, of 1224 West 11th Street, passed away early Wednesday morning, December 18th, at the Dunbar Hospital. Mrs. Lewis was one of our pioneer citizens coming to California from Denver in 1885. She became the wife of Charles Lewis in 1889, and for the past forty years both Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lewis have been held in high esteem as faithful, progressive citizens. Mrs. Lewis for many years was an active leading worker in the First A. M. E. Church. A large group of old friends gathered at the Angelus Funeral Home Monday morning to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased. Services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Isaacs, pastor of the First A. M. E. Church, assisted by Dr. Wm. R. Carter. Interment was in Evergreen cemetery. Mrs. Lewis leaves her husband, two brothers, three sisters, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her passing. THE NARCISSUS WHIST CLUE The Narcissus Whist Club met with Mrs. Rachael Glasco, for election of officers. During the past half year there has been such real congeniality and harmony that the girls unanimously decided to retain their present officers. The petite Miss Alice Bates was a joyous visitor. During the evening when everyone seemed excited over the arrival of Santa Claus one member was smiling over the arrival of a certain long neck bird. What you want to know is which bird (Pelican or Gobbler). Judging from the merriment of this young lady it is going to be Mr. Gobbler. To be sure ask L. H. THE CHEERIO CLUB The Cherrio Club had their first annual dance Dec. 20th at Harlem Paradise. The hall was beautifully decorated with ferns, and flowers of the season. The card receivers at the door were two little girls, attired in their ruffled reseda green tafetta gowns. With a two tone ribbon bow on their shoulders wearing their hair with down curls with little twotone rosetts a round. These little girls were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Price, Lucile and Dorothy. The hall was a beautiful scene, as guests and members attired in their colorful elaborate floor length evening gowns and tuxedo. Officers and members were introduced. Colorful lights were flashed on nas they stepped forward to their names. The introduction was made by the Pres. of the Tuxedo Clut. Upstairs in that classy dining room sat a large bowl of punch which was served to all. The members of the Cheerrio Club has a grand surprise in store for their president, Mrs. J.-J. Adams.

GREETINGS Sacramento, California, January, 1930. To all Brother Odd Fellows of this, the 322nd District, G. U. O. of O. F. To all Sister Ruths of this the 28th District, G. U. O. of O. F., and to all Lodges and Houses; With Greetings and sincere best wishes for a appy and Prosperous New Year to all, both individually and collectively. We appeal to you to give our auxiliary committee in your city such support, help and co-operation in putting over such program as they may have in mind during the year, for such funds as may be necessary for the third annual payment on our home-site purchase. At this time, it is our pleasure and delight to say that with the liberal responses of some of the Lodges and Households, and individual brothers and sisters, and with the promptness of the tenant now occupying the premises, we were able to take care of a small balance on our note, pay up all taxes for the 1929-30 fiscal year, and make substantial repairs on the domestic well, for the comfort and convenience of our tenant. Our slate is now clean and ready for the 46th fiscal year. With this object in mind, we are calling upon every brother and every Sister for support, help and cooperation, and we thank you from the depths of our hearts for your responses during all previous years in the work set before us. We find many Lodges and Households did not, or were not able to subscribe last year, but we have the same love for them as we hold for those who did. We hope they will fill up the gap this year and help us. "Where there is a will, there is always a way." This purchase is going to help our Order in a substantial way in California. We are going up grade at the present time, and it will not be long before it will be an easy task to accomplish the end. A little labor put forth in harmony from our auxiliaries, and support, encouragement and continual boost from every member will bring financial support from the public without any hanciness Istrain upon the individual member. You, no doubt, will keep in mind the solemn obligation we have all taken at our sacred Altar, especially so, when every Lodge and every Household, in the 32nd and 28th Jurisdictions voted for this purchase, thus pledging the support of every lodge and every Household in California, through their respective representatives, and it is by the vote of these representatives, that we are appealing to you for your substantial support. The actions of these delegates must not be considered as the action of the individual, but it is considered as the action of tch Lodge and household to give car to our call. It is a glorious thought for one to think of their associates, who when becoming old and dependent, to provide something to help them, and to keep them from want and a scanty charisty from a criticising public. THE ODD FELLOWS' AND RUTHS' HOME Honor, Place, Fame, Glory, Riches They are ashes, disappointment, unless there is somebody in the world you love, somebody who loves you. Unless there is some place that you can call home, some place that is made absolutely sacred by the love of others, then our fraternal labors are in vain, and labor and obligation either lost or r forgotten. All N. G. and M. N. G. will please bring this communication before your Lodge Meeting for three months. Fraternally yours, JACOB SOARES, Chairman Board of Directors. SANTA CLAUS' MISTAKE Old Santa's supposed to be a wise man So will you tell me, please, if you can, Why he brings to wee little dark skin girls With big brown eyes and tight little curls White skin dollies with flaxen hair It's not at all fair and we really do care. Now I want a dollie that looks like me, With dark curly hair and as brown as can be My heart fairly aches for that kind of a doll To be my oear baby, my own little pal; A dollie to tuck into bed every night; To sew for and love and cuddle up tight. But I can't give my heart to a white skin doll She's not my own baby. She can't be my pal. The Doll Wizard There is a wizard in our town Will change your doll from white to brown. brown, Fill up the cracks, mend all the knocks Cover her crown with new raven locks, Replace her faded eyes of blue With laughing eyes of coffee hue, Give her eyelashes that stay And on her old complexion lay A new brown skin that you can scrub And with a rag and soapsuds rub. The Wizard knows just what to do To make her fresh and sweet as new. HUMPTY-DUMPTY DOLL HOSPITAL 847 Central Ave. VAndike 9244 ON THE SIDE WALK unfortunate men who are serving time. It was certainly an occasion filled with inspiration for those who found time to attend. The morning discourse was delivered by an ex-convict preacher, a Rev. Mr. Hall, who had served time in a New Mexico death cell, but who according to his own testimony, through prayer, had been delivered from sin and shame. At the close of the service more than a score of men, yet prisoners, came forward declaring that they had decided to live Christian lives. Full account of the Firemen relieving poor, and needy of the neighborhood will appear in our next issue. TIME IS MONEY At least to the Engle's collector, so please give a thought to this truth and when you have specified a day and date on which the collector shall call, kindly keep your word with her.

THE RACE Pain and Death rode a race in the night As the shadows sank to rest. With one accord they swooped down in their flight. And laid hold on their victims breast. "You're mine," whispered death, to the soul that shrank. "You're mine" was pains spoken word. "We'll race," grinned, death, as tho at a prank. "Come on," yelled pain, as his steed he spurred. The rustle of death, made the soul afraid. And pain made him moan with a prod. The stark night of suffering brought the sweat to his brow. And he groaned as he prayed to God. So all night long race they rode, Pain and death for their victim there. From fear and suffering they made a goal. And each sought to win foul or fair. At last the coming of morning light Put pain and death to hopeless flight. Pain was smothered from the victim's brow away. His night of terror was gone with the day. —Mrs. G. L. Jackson, 1929 Industrial and Financial REVIEW By WILLIAM McMAHON, Press. William McMahon's Market Digest Late news comes to hand that steel activity is showing a gain over last week and that prices continue firm with encouraging prospects for business for the beginning of the year. Oil and rail reports are unchanged from last week, some sections reporting a heavier rail traffic and a lessening of petroleum inventories, and other sections making adverse reports. Building construction is holding its own and motor manufacturing is dull. The value of exports has jumped 45 per cent above that of a year ago as currently published by the Port of New York authority, and if gains from other parts of the country are not all as high, yet a gain is conceded to be general among them all. What is unsettled, there is a slump in tin futures, copper is holding to its price levels of 18 cents, coffee is higher, hides are lower, raw sugar has declined, as also has silk, rubber values have receded and retail trade shows gains in all sections among chain and department stores. The money market is easier, with time funds at 45, per cent, for all maturities. Current clearing house statement showed exchanges of $1,074,000,000, and balance of $185,000,000, and a Federal Reserve Bank credit balance of $187,000,000. There seems to be no definite price trad on the New York Stock Exchange as the public seems leath to enter the market with much trading enthusiasm either as bulls or bears. It would seem that in view of so many favorable circumstances people with funds would take advantage of the many investment bargains now, to be found in the lists of all the reputable exchanges. Yields are certainly attractive, money is low and so are prices. Besides, consider the impetus that the Hoover conference must give to all industry in view of the enormous expansion programs promised by the conferences. Even without such attentions, corporations are recording earnings gains and voting extra dividends, seemingly as a matter of vogue or habit. All these favorable factors must soon reflect themselves in stock prices. BRIEFS IN AND ABOUT THE CITY---L. A. Court Frees Gary Aldermen Gary, Ind., Dec. 24.—(By Chancey Townsend for The Associated Negro Press).—Ending a period of suspense and reestablishing confidence in Negro leadership in Gary, the Whitlock conspiracy case, involving charges against two colored oldermen, a sergeant of detectives, two prominent lawyers, and two well known businessmen of the city, was nolle pressed by the government in the Hammond Federal District Court Wednesday afternoon, on a motion by District Attorney Oliver Loomis. By the fact, freedom was given to al the defendants and an opportunity was made possible for them to return to their work and pursue their careers, unhampered by the thought of indictments in the future, and untainted by the experience through which they had gone. Decision of the government to enter a noile proseguil to the charges was suddenly made by the district attorney shortly after noon Wednesday. He gave his reason "a fatal proof of variance from charges in the indictment." Thus came the collapse of the government's case against seven of Bary's most prominent colored men. Those cleared of the charges, as a result, are Arthur B. Whitlock, councilman of the Fifth Ward, who had been in dicted for conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law by a Federal Grand Jury in South Bend, on October 9th last. Dr. S. R.

"SURPRISE PARTY" COMES AS REAL SURPRISE AFTER CLUB MEETING After the regular club meeting, Wednesday, December 11th, at the home of Mr. Roy Moutrie, 1165 East 35th Street, members of the Lone Wolf Club were busy making preparations for home, when the door burst open and a host of young women entered, all part of a plan for a surprise party engineered by Mr. Moutrie, with Mr. Eddie Harvey, second in command. Dancing was the feature of the evening, and delicious refreshments were served. Attorney Leon Whitaker wishes his many friends and patrons a very Merry Christmas an da Happy, Prosperous New Year.

John Bolden, detective sergeant, "nightmare of Washington Street," one or Gary's most efficient police officers, who had been indicted on October 1st. Roger W. Woolfodk, prominent attorneya*law, also indicted for conspiracy. Louis Sperling, forme rstate fire marshal, and learned attorney at law, indicted for conspiracy. James P. Crawford, pool hall proprietor, indicted for conspiracy. The charges made against all of them were believed to be the result of testimony given to the Grand jury by other Negroes, notably among whom is Dave Moses, former county office holder and many times a candidate and applicant for public offices i the city and county. So convicter were they that Moses had played the paramount part in their indictment that friends of all the defendants were considering in a meeting last night to hang Moses in effigy as a protest against his alleged part in their indictment. Moses, however, denies the charge. He was one of the first to congratulate the defendants when they were released. Scowls and vituperation greeted his efforts to do so following the dismissal. Of the seven persons freed of the charges made by the government, only two of them can attribute their release to white-lawyers. Whitlock and his attorney, a colored lawyer in the person of Fritz W. Alexander, prominent attorney at law and treasurer of The Gary American, In Alexander's hands, Whitlock placed his trust, relying solely upon the skill and knowledge of the former, a comparatively young man with less experience than most of the others associated with the defense counsel, but a man, who, realizing the seriousness of the charges, studied day and night, from the day of his client's indictment to the day of his acquittal, to overthrow the government's case. The confidence he had in his attorney was well justified. Whitlock stated in an interview today, "Alexander proved himself as good as Clarence Darrow might have been," Whitlock said. Bolden, Crawford and Woodfollah da their counsel, Judge W. C. Hueston, an attorney of thirty-five years experience in all the courts of the country. When it is considered that Hueston has had far more experience than | Alexander, Whitlock's faith was the most courageous of all. Attorney Sperling and Dr. Elick CITY---L. A. PLAIN FACTS BY: DR.

There were about 25 or 30 participants, and they all played their parts well. Although we did not have sufficient room for them as we had planned. For the place we first engaged leaked very badly and would have been very uncomfortable. So we did the best we could. However, we had a goodly number, out in spite of the continual rain. And we raised $89.40, which was divided on the 50-50 basis between the two churches. And we want to thank Rev. Pryor and his co-workers for the much-needed aid they gave us for this little struggling church. We also feel grateful to our Chico people, who made reservations to keep them overnight. REV. CHAS. G.

We had the Feast of the Red Corn played here, December 14, 1929. It was from Sacramento, Calif., and it was a great sacrifice for those people to put that play on here at that time. For it had been raining for one week, day and night. And they came through the storm. Saturday, about 4:30 P. M. it was raining hard, and I sat dozing about the store having given up the play. But I was aroused by footsteps on the porch. Rev. Cherry answered the door bell. And to my surprise there were Rev. and Mrs. Prayor and five of the participants.

Sunday School Christmas Tree Tuesday Night, Dec. 24th. Treasurer of Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society Answers Bishop C. B. Young In the Southern Christian Recorder, December 5, 1929, I read an article, dated November 1, signed by Bishop G. B. Young. I am quoting some of his article: "I was told by some who seemed to have been in authority that the W. H. and F. M. Society was supervising the South African Mission wrok, where I would, by appointment, cast my lot for service. I thought, now, I can't suffer because my group is behind me. But for some cause I have been made to suffer unreasonably. I can not describe my distress. I am left on the border of disgrace and shame." As treasurer of the W. and F. M. Society I desire the public to know what we have done for Bishop Young the one year he has been in South Africa. On December 14, 1928 I sent to Dr. Coit, Secretary of Missions, for Bishop Young $2500.00. April 2, 1929 I cabled Bishop Young directly through the Atlanta National Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, $2500.00, which made $5000.00, received from Dr. Coit an urgent request for Bishop Young. I sent same to the president, Mrs. L. M. Hughes, and she wrote me to do the best I could. I cabled Bishop Young $1000.00 which made a total sent Bishop Young in one year $6000.00. I am quoting another statement by Bishop Young when I sent him the $2500.00 in April. "I am thankful for the nice sums that you sent. We had not enough to pay the March and June stipends, so we anxiously await the next such sum as was sent by you." I regret that Bishop Young overlooked the small amount of $6000.00 sent him by the W. H. and F. M. Society. We promised to South Africa for extension work $5000.00 per year. We have fulfilled our obligation. This amount may not be sufficient, but we would appreciate it if Bishop Young would acknowledge this amount and if he is "suffering," as he says he is, make another appeal. We do not take kindly to this kind of publicity when we have discharged our duty. BISHOP GREENE'S HOME AD DRESS CHANGED Persons desiring to communicate with me will please observe that my residence has been changed from 712 Locust street, North Little Rock, to 1224 West 10th street, Little Rock, Arkansas. Respectfully, S. L. GREENE. The Centrail Florida Annual Conference JUST CLOSED A VERY PLEASANT SESSION The above named Annual Conference convened with Allen's Temple A. M. E. Church, Tampa, Fla., Dec. 5-8, 1929; the Rt. Rev. J. S. Flipper, presiding. Our good Bishop Flipper seemed in the very best of spirits the whole session through. The reports were not just as we should liked them to have been but the "fall off" was predicted on two causes to it. First is to say, 1929 was a very hard year in this part of Florida, financially speaking, due to economic conditions. In the second place the date of the setting of our Conference was so changed as to allow us but nine months instead of 12 this year, and hence the slight "fall off." But we have launched out on full time for full reports in 1930, and God and our beloved Bishop Flipper. We want the entire church-world to know that Florida is standing hard by her Bishop to a man. To make his stay with us pleasant and his administration over us a glowing success. We also state in no uncertain terms that Florida is coming to the General Conference in 1932 bringing the Rev. Doctor H. Y. Tooks as our choice for Bishop. We men of Florida are workers to the manner born and we pledge our work along with our prayers and our influence to those who will stand by us for our man for Bishop. More later. P. T.

All were very competently delivered, and especially was that of Miss Geraldine Barton, who quite uniquely welcomed the pastor and wife in form of a broadcasting station on behalf of the young people of Eighth and Towne, the station being Y-O-U-T-H and later signing off to be on the air at any time when called upon. The program was continued with an organ solo by Miss Mattie Nelson, Address, Dr. Wilbur Gordon, Mrs. Isaacs was introduced by Mrs. Eliza Warner, the former very graciously expressing her appreciation. Rev. Price, presiding elder, introduced the pastor, Rev. J. B. Isaacs, who in his own way gave an inspiring talk and expressing his gratitude.

PITCHER) Never in the thirty-five years of my ministry has there been brought to my attention a similar incident to the one related to me by some, of the officers of the Official Board of this historic church Dec. 13, 1929. It is reported by the officers that talked to me that the pastor, Rev. Dr. Noah W. Williams, stated to the surprise of all present, that the salary of pastors of churches, especially of the large churches, was rated on a war-time or early post war time basis, when everybody was at work and wages were high and the cost of living correspondingly high. He is reported as saying that economic conditions were such now that he felt it was only fair that his salary be reduced to meet the economic conditions of his flock, many of whom were having a pretty hard time to make ends meet. Dr. Williams then asked that his salary be reduced by six hundred dollars on the year. The officers, so I am told, did not want to make the reduction as requested without stipulating some qualifications. To this the pastor replied that he wanted it done without any strings to the motion. This church has paid three thousand dollars salary annually for ten years, five years of which Rev. Noah Williams has been its pastor and now beginning his sixth year. His wishes were reluctantly granted, not that the Board did not see the wisdom of Dr. Williams' action but that they feared * that the public might think this church did not appreciate his services. Now I submit that any pastor that is big enough to voluntarily reduce his own salary in order to lighten the burdens of his flock is a real leader and shepherd with a heart of sympathy. Yet when I spoke to him about it he said he did not see any thing in his action to call forth any special notice. But to me it is one of the biggest acts I have noted in a long time. I can understand now more fully why the members of St. Paul love and follow this splendid minister. --- ALLEN'S A. M. E. CHURCH RIVERSIDE, CAL., Dec. 15, 1929.—It has been very near three months since Rev. C. A. Harris has been returned to us, and received with open arms. To say the least of it, our Church is moving on by leaps and bounds spiritually and materially from the very first sermon after the pastor's return. He stepped on the gas and pulled us safely into our haven of spiritual rest. Perfect harmony exists in every department. Every member and friend is bristling with zeal knowing that we are to be host for the Annual Conference. This conference year everybody is putting their right foot forward declaring that only the best is good enough for us, our community life is taking on a new air but it could not be otherwise with Rev. and Mrs. C. A. Harris who preaches a clear-cut gospel and leads a spotless life and spreads sunshine, cheer and good-will wherever they go. Then once every three months Elder Price comes along and he is not afraid to pray the price. Other communities may be discontent and unhappy but take it from your old uncle who knows and knows that he does know, we are perfectly satisfied.

To the readers of our church notes elsewhere than here: Last Sunday it rained in equal torrents all day, and only a fair attendance was out. This coincidence happened at the morning service: Mr. Arnold Baranco, soloist of the Junior choir, lead the spiritual, "Steal Away," and his mother, Mrs. Baranco, was soloist in the spiritual sung by the Senior choir, "Everytime I Feel the Spirit Moving in my Heart.' Both were very excellently rendered. Rev. Scott preaches his sermons so connectedly. He is easily followed and understood. He has consented to preach a request sermon some time in January, but next Sunday, the Christmas sermon will be preached by him and the Junior choir will furnish Christmas music. This will occur in the morning, and at the evening services, I am pleased to announce the "Etude Club" will render a Christmas Musicale at our church. They are an elect set from the best voices about the Bay, and have a very high standing in both our and the other group. When listening to their programs, you are enjoying the best we have to offer. I entreat you to come to our night services. Sunday, December, 22nd. On the following Sunday evening, December 29th, the Senior choir will render its Christmas song service which will be of an ensemble nature. Miss Maxine Blackburn has secured some choice selections for that service. The public is urged to be present. The Sunday school under the direction of its superintendent, Miss Roberta Wells, is going to have its Christmas Tree and Pageant which they have been preparing for some time. I cannot tell you more, but invite you to bring anything you are going to give anybody, and put it on the Tree, and enjoy the Pageant as well. On the account of interfering programs, our "Fourth Sunday Health Lectures" have been postponed since September, but they will be resumed and will occur each month until spring at least, at which time, nature will render them less needful. We are calling to the attention of our membership, the arrival of our 1930 Offertory Envelopes, that may be secured from your class leader or the church clerk. They will be used after December 31st, 1929, and all others in your possession are to be returned, but it is hoped that you have, or will have used all the past years' Envelopes, so you will have none to return. There will be organized a new church auxiliary in our church, under the most praise-worthy auspices, and its membership and founder, should incite admiration. It is a Boy Scout's vow that he shall do some good deed without pay for someone each day. I cannot return to boyhood, but I can solicit subscriptions for the "Voice" for the coming year. So many of our members do not take it. Why not? It is not what it USED TO BE, it's better in every way. It's a pleasure for me to speak of persons or things worthy of praise. Mrs. Julia Fisher, who has been confined to her bed for over a week, is improving. Mrs. Sadie Phipps, also one of our choir members, is improving. It is impossible for Mrs. Phipps to come to the annual choir Christmas dinner, but we truly pray that Mrs. Fisher, whose hand S. B. W NOTARY LICENSED AND BONDED Deeds, Trust Deeds and Other Lega B.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS LONG BEACH, CALIF We are very happy to report at this time, a high day in the house of the Lord. All who attended the services of the day, are blessed for having done same. Beginning with the Sunday school, it was well attended with an unusual large number of children from all over the city. The Sunday school superintendent, Bro. Moody, was on the job. He is a great Sunday school superintendent and is very interesting. The morning service was largely attended with a number of visitors in the congregation. The beautiful decorations of palm branches and evergreen with bouquets of fine flowers all stately arranged about the Temple, created the Yuletide spirit for all of Long Beach and the friends who were there from elsewhere. Hats off to Sister M. Nevens and her splendid committee in the persons of Miss Millican, Mrs. E. E. Harris, Mrs. Bertha Sims, and Bro. J. R. Nevens. They make a wonderful team, and can do anything they make up their minds to do. Everyone was glad to see the Conference Evangelist, Rev. Elliot, in the services. Not many weeks ago, he had a great revival effort here and we all remember him yet, and the success he had with the meesling. The pastor, Rev. U. V. Green, brought a burning message at this time, and we were blessed with a pentecostal blessing and one soul was added to the church. Text. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Subject. "God's Gift to the world." There were tears, joy and expressions of real gratitude to God for such wonderful gift. The Christmas pageant, which was held at the evening service, was all too beautiful for words, being carried out perfectly without a mistake. After the program, the junior Stewards came forward to finish their days' effort. Their collection for the day was $16.64. The presents were then given out by Bro. Wakler and Bro. Sharp. There were many presents to be given away, and we believe everyone got something. Rev. Elliott and wife, received a nice present, and the pastor had to get a big hand bag to carry the presents he and Mrs. Green received. When the count was made, the pastor had more than $10.00 in presents. You folk over in the city must come down and see what we are doing, and you won't regret your trip: Ask Dr. Elliott and wife.

It is predicted that the Department will follow, as well as Page-Five Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL, NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION There is no good reason why New Year's affords a better time to make a good resolution than any other season of the year. Any date on which one may reach that conclusion that one would be better for desisting from some practice to which one is addicted, or to adopt a course which one has not hitherto followed, is a good time to begin. However, New Year's is a favorite date because it is the start of another year. The slate is wiped clean then and new account is opened. It is easier to make a resolution than it is to keep it. Resolutions have to do with improvement. It doesn't require resolution to do worse than one did in the old year. A worse course offers few difficulties in execution. To do better is the one which requires fortitude and persistence. Despite resolutions we may make most of us do not change greatly from year to year. It's the trend, though, that makes the chief difference. With some the direction is on an ascending plane while with others there is a down grade and the latter is the easier course to pursue, though the difference between the two may not be especially perceptible. Most of those who improve a little do not do so conspicuously, while many of those who grow worse do not do so at a rapid rate. The result depends on the kind of a groove in which one is running; for we do run in grooves very largely. The person moving on a plane surface without any ruts to hold him in his course is an exception. We do not decry New Year's resolutions. Good ones made and broken may be much better than none made at all. Yet, one who never thinks of change of habits and motives except at the inception of another year will not get very far in personal uplift. These dates come too infrequently and there are not enough of them in a lifetime. THE "NEW" YEAR The New Year will be a repetition of old experiences, a re-enforcement of old laws, a reaffirmation of another common saying which is that human nature changes little and human relationships are much the same today as they were when the first philosophical writer first set his chisel to work on the stone tablets whereon were written the observations and records of that far-off time when the human race first began to discover the antiquity of the planet and the unswerving laws that govern it. We enter upon the New Year, to be sure, but in it we shall be responsive to the same forces as heretofore. We will be rewarded as we put ourselves into harmony with divine statutes and punished as we disregard them. There are but two lamps by which our feet may be guided, those of experience and conscience. If we profit by one and hearken to the other we shall avoid many of the pitfalls that lie ahead; the same old pitfalls, in the same old places and hidden in the same old manner. If we play the game in accord with the rules laid down by that "still small warning voice within," we shall escape the old retributions for the same old errors that men and women has been making for thousands of years. SCHOOLING Most Americans get their schooling between the ages of 6 and 16 says Prof. Dallas L. Sharp, of Boston University. That is true. But most of us do not begin to get our real education until we leave school. Experience remains the greatest teacher. When a school graduate strikes out in the world for himself, one of the first things he has to do is unlearn much of what he has been taught. The delusion that takes most time to get out of the head is youth's inflated conception of the possibilities of success. CHANCES - The city industrial worker has one chance in eight of living to be 70 years old. The farmer has one chance in three. So reports of a committee of the United Hospital Fund, New York state. - There, in a nutshell, you have a graphic picture of what civilization is doing to us. Health is close to the soil. The time is not far off when cities will in large part break up, factories moving to the open country and taking workers with them. Either that or man heads for extinction. - Do your 1930 Christmas shopping early. - About the hardest thing to cure is injured feelings. - An after Christmas wish: That the Christmas spirit linger. - Days are so short. Right after supper it is dark enough to go joy riding. - "Money is easy." says the market report, but it is hard for some kind of borrowers. - Many a small boy is kept in after school because his father worked his arithmetic wrong. - Cement makers use 1,000,000 pounds of dynamite a year. May we say their business is booming. Don't call the fire department for that black smoke. It's merely a Christmas cigar. The Congressional hopper is gradually filling up with bills, and for most of them that's all that will happen. COMMENTS By The Staff NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS Friends and Fellow Citizens In the true spirit of the occasion, we greet you and wish for you and yours a Happy and Prosperous New Year. It is our fondest hope that you will enter 1930 with renewed energy and determination commensurate with your talent and the opportunities it will afford you. The Eagle enters with you with full understanding, sympathy and cooperation. We are in the habit of attaching a greater significance than the occasion deserves, to the First day of January. We generally use it as a psychological moment to start out to accomplish what we failed to do in the past year. We make many and various resolutions of what we hope or intend to do and what we did that we purpose to avoid. In all of these, although insignificant, this paper joins with the fullest appreciation of its share in them. As a matter of fact, January has absolutely no physical significance in relation to human affairs. It is heathen in origin and young in history. It begins the Gregorian Calendar year by virtue of accommodation. It gets its name from the Greek god. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened "Juus," which, having two faces, the one looking forward and the other looking backward, was chosen by the Calendar Committee as appropriate to occupy that position in the secular year marking the close of the back 12 months and at the same time facing the beginning of the New Year. Our year did not always begin with January. By the Ceasarian Calendar, the year began with March, as the first month in "Nisan." This explains why we have September on the 7th month in Nisan; October, the eighth; November, the ninth and December the tenth. The four months in the order given are: "Septem" Latin for seventh; "Octo," eighth; "Novem," ninth and "Decem," meaning tenth. Speaking of resolutions, we are reminded to make a few of our own in which we hope you will join heartily. Therefore let us join in one "great-grand" RESOLVED: 1. That in 1930 we shall live better lives, form better habits and thereby become better citizens in the community in which we live, and make that community better by virtue of our having lived in it. 2. That we unite ourselves in one great family and cement the cracks in our hitherto divided ranks so that we may add strength to the weak among us in the journey toward civic development. In our editorials we shall be calm, dignified and one hand, but shall rise up and smile with all our civic, fraternal or religious that in our honest judge up full length to standards of conduct in society nor shall we seek one; but we never have nor never We are now beginning upon our second half century have striven all these years to build up a character through this second fifty years.

That we cultivate a consciousness of our inseparable racial interests. That we are effected by the same common problems and conditions. That we are our brother's keepers and cannot escape responsibility in their misfortunes. That we are the arteries of each other, upon whose regular pulsations our whole social, civic, industrial and economic existence depend. 4. That we shall regard ourselves as part and parcel of the political, civic fabric of this city, commonwealth and nation, and that as such, it is as much our privilege and duty as it is any other citizen, to enter into the full spirit and efforts of any and all the activities which go to build up this nation. 5. That we shall cultivate a race consciousness that does not set us apart from the rest of this nation's citizenry, but rather that creates a deeper spirit of responsibility to the nation and to all its interests. That it is not ours to receive the Providence of others only, but to assist in that Providence by giving to the fullest measure of our means and ability to all distressed conditions within our boundaries that they may be banished. 6. That we increase to capacity, our full speed in taking our place along side of all others in business, finance and industry. That we improve upon our business methods. Combine—merge our business so that we may reduce loss and increase capital. That we cease the habit of earning $1.00 and spending $1.01; rather, let us make the $1.00 and spend $9c. Let us make an appraisal of our business veures and see if we cannot find need to curtail expenses here and there, and increase income. 7. That we reduce our myriad of self-styled leaders to a minimum, and increase our already inadequate number of followers to the maximum. Let us reduce our bewildering conflict of authority. Let us choose for leadership those among us of proven ability and honesty of purpose, and subordinate our own individual ideas and pet notions to the leaders. Let us deflate our inflated ego and accept the good judgment of those who can give it. 8. That we cultivate the spirit of self reliance. The spirit and will to depend upon the strength of our own labors whether or not that is exactly like that of Mr. Millionaire John Doe. Let us be contented to live within our own means. God helps those who will help themselves. 9. That we take our place in politics. That the suffrage is a duty and not a mere privilege only. That we shall be deeply and actively concerned in who shall represent us in Municipal, State and National positions of public trust. That as taxpayers and citizens, it is our business to fulfill our duty as citizens equally with any others in the Nation. Let us see WHO and WHAT the various candidates are, and choose from among them those who in your best judgment TOES the mark politically, morally and mentally. With these resolutions honestly and earnestly practiced, we shall see ourselves go forward as, and in one great army Phalanx giving prosperity to all. JOURNALISM vs. INDIVIDUALISM Public opinion often questions and attempts to pass judgment on what a newspaper should or should not print in its columns. It presumes too often to dictate the editorial and even the news policy of the Press. Often people will tell an editor that this or that news article should or should not be published. In most cases that same dictator would fly into red fury if anybody told her or him what he should say, do, eat or Prompted by the result of frequent observations and experiences the Eagle must again try to set forth clearly just what place a Journal, especially a Negro Journal, should occupy in relation to the reading public. In its Editorial Columns, this paper expresses its own opinion and point of view on the current happenings of the day. It may not always be right, and may, in a number of cases be alone on one side of a public question. But whatever it has to say about it, is its own viewpoint and honest convictions and should be given credit for thus preserving individuality and personality, the same as any individual. It also recognizes that ever increasing power of the press, the great respect in which the community holds it, and the leadership it has been forced to assume. It is more rapidly being looked upon as a guide to community practice and conduct. In its editorial column, it assumes this grave responsibility and performs it courageously and to its best judgment. This poicy it is compelled to continue, it shall be worthy of its existence, regardless to personal reaction on part of those who do not think through its mind or see through its eyes. On the other hand, newspaper is compelled by all the ethics of journalism to print news of public record. It is not within its province to feel the pulse of any individual or individuals who may be concerned in or effected by the item published. It has but one duty, and that is to print news that is news and when it is news, whether or not, by it so doing, it incurs offense. On the other hand, there comes to us from time to time, news items the character and length of which do not warrant publication. It promptly refuses. This may or may not incur objections from the writers of these articles, but it is not ours, nor any worth while newspaper's right, to change its policy to fit the whims and fancies of the interested parties. Furthermore, news items carried in any paper are not, and should never be regarded as the expression of the publishers of that paper. They are contributory, and are published for the value that is in them only. We are prompted by a spirit of defense to Journal leadership gathered from personal observations, to write this editorial at this time. News items are not the expressions or opinions of the Editor. They are the public records and we are sworn by oath to publish them to the limit of our economic ability. We open our news column for, and heartily welcome to contributing articles provided said articles conform to the accepted rules of journal thics and the contributor is willing to accept proper editing of the same. We are glad to have them at all times, and will publish them so far as our limited space will permit. But the writer only is responsible for their contents and whatever offense they incur. Our policy has been to make no difference with any individual or organization, whether that be business, fraternal or religious. Neither do we make exceptions to the station of the individuals of the community, whether they be merchants, ministers or professionals. We harbor no animus against any church or minister whatever their denomination. If at any time we are deferential it is to the ministers of the different churches. That is because we appreciate the fact that their struggles and problems are mutual with our own. But we cannot stretch even this beyond the limitations of journal ethics. We are a public servant and cannot play favorites. No public official or institution can, and worthily carry out the trust of its public position. Whatever it does, is done in the interest of the public welfare. In our editorials we shall be calm, dignified and sympathetic on the one hand, but shall rise up and smite with all our strength, any conduct, civic, fraternal or religious that in our honest judgment, does not measure up full length to standards of conduct in society. We have no fight, nor shall we seek one; but we never have nor never will, run from one. We are now beginning upon our second half century of existence and have striven all these years to build up a character that will carry us through this second fifty years. It is yours, and not ours, to debate among yourselves whether or not an article should or should not appear in a paper. You might also debate whether the happening which made the questionabe news item necessary, should have not been avoided beforehand. But if it has happened and become a public record, it is not ours to refuse publication of it, nor yours to question the propriety of carrying. We thought it proper and fitting at the beginning of a new year, to again make this declaration of policy in order that we may go forward in the future with a better understanding of our relationship to each other. J. FINLEY WILSON AS L. A. GUEST We are often given treats by visits from distinguished personages of our group, but rarely are we favored with such a rare treat as we shall be beginning Sunday moring by the presence in our city of J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. In view of this we wish to draw special attention to the notices all about announcing his coming. We would advise our people to get out to see him, either at the parade Sunday the banquet at Dunbar Monday night ad the Reception ad Ball at the Shrine Auditorium on Tuesday night, December 31st. That you will fall in line and join the other concourse in giving this distinguished visitor a reception such as Los Angeles only can do. We have not the least doubt. Let it be your slogan from now until then to say: "All eyes are turned toward the Shrine Auditorium for next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON "Hoping for a Prosperous New Year for all!" California has the Christmas spirit. San Francisco is gorgeous; the many colored lights illuminating the skyscrapers, and glowing from the giant firs erected on her "seven hills," gives the impression of entering a Fairyland when seen in crossing the San Francisco Bay. One of the big trees is sponsored by the newspaper folk and stands at the peak of Russian Hill. It was christened the "Annie Laurie" in honor of the popular writer, Mrs. Bonfil, whose columns of human interest are read by thousands. Her words of cheer have comforted many a weary heart, and lightened the path to happiness for many a plodding soul. This great Christmas spirit knows nothing of race, color, religious creed, or nationality; but has emptied the cornicopia of happiness for all alike. ★ ★ ★ ★ A noted columnist was offered $30,000 to visit Haiti and write, first hand, of conditions there. He stated that there was no need to visit that Republic, as matters affecting it could be as well described without. He then proceeds to write of Haiti's past rulers from LOverture to Harry Christophe, giving a dissertation on the backwardness of her people and a general outline, which is history. He writes of their savagery, and says that they are not yet civilized fully. He makes particular mention of the quartering of one of Haiti's tyrannical rulers as an evidence of their un civilized condition. It is regrettable that such should occur even in "barbaric" communities, but if civilization is to be judged by such deeds there are some sections of this nation where the Federal Government should send its Marines in the interest of civilization. The Haitians killed a tyrant, who, educated under a civilized people returned to his less fortunate countrymen for the purpose of exploitation. He was slain. But how about the Negro woman, strung up by her feet, head down, discombewored and her unborn baby trampled in the bloody earth? Comparisons are odious but sometimes necessary. Give Haiti her chance. ★ ★ ★ ★ Congressman DePriest delivered his maiden speech in Congress where the occupancy of Haiti by U.S. Marines was under discussion. In replying to some of the minority congressmen, he said in part: "I am very glad to see the gentlemen of the minority side of this House so very solicious about the condition of the black people of Haiti. I wish to God they were equally solicitous about the black people of America. We in America would like in some of the States of this country to have the right to self determination also." There is the making of political capital in the discussion of Haitian affairs "Imperialism" and its kindred slogans will enter greatly in the coming campaign. Many practically irrelevant issues will be raised as a smoke screen for the burning issue now before the American people. Prohibition! * * * * * The people of the United States are demanding that some measure be taken to make Prohibition effective or else modify the law so that it make it improbitable to boot-leg. Even the most ardent advocate of prohibition but admits the failure of enforcement under present conditions. Fanatics who have no power of reason claim that enforcement is a success, but unbiased surveys of the situation have proven otherwise. Instead of the jails and penitentiaries being depopulated they are over crowded. The Department of Justice has petitioned Congress for an appropriation to build more prisons. State institutions, corrective as well as penal, are so crowded that they are becoming problems. In San Quentin, penitentiary, California; there are 201 prisoners under 20 years of age, it is said: Crime, directly traceable to the present method of enforcement. is rampart. We are advocates of government control, such as is exerted by the Canadian government. The repeal of the law is not desirable, nor would it be deemed advisable. One of the best and most notable gifts of Christmas was the $1,750,000 (one million seven hundred and fifty thousand) made available of $3,000,000, fund created by J. D. Rockeffeller and Julius Rosenwald for the training of Negro doctors and nurses, under the auspices of the University of Chicago. That gift paves the way for one of the most auspicious epochs in the history of the American Negro. The race has been handicapped for need of trained physicians and nurses. True: The race has developed a few doctors and surgeons who have made splendid records in research and surgery, but in the main medical training and health hygeine has been much neglected in the life of the Negro. "On again; off again: On again" such has been the Kalediosopic martial experience of a "colored" physician in and his "non colored" spouse in Los Angeles. After a period of marital bliss the spouse became suddenly aware that she had been deceived in the racial lineage of the Medico. Or it might have been the artistic temperament that caused her to wish from her "bed and board" with the cry of "deception!" After being "front paged" for a few days "Love" overcome the barrier of race and with eht age worn cry, "I love him!" there was a dramatic rush, the clasp of arms, and clinging kiss, reconciliation; May they live happy ever after—Maybe— Senator Hiram Johnson swung the political scalp of Oftedal from his belt. He not only scaled the political interloper but tommy hawked him for a final. The aspirant for the office of internal revenue collector was found to be a legal resident of "My Maryland." Just why a citizen of the "Oriole State" should seek political preference in the "State of (Continued on Page Ten) GRATITUDE GOLDEN RULE BY: THE DEACON We are thankful for health, And a contented mind: Thankful for a faithful wife, And the ties that bind. Thankful for a loving family, With no desire to roam: Hearts filled with joy and sunshine, Which makes a happy home. Thankful for the friendship, Of a few devoted friends: Thankful for all the blessings, The Gooof Lord sends. Thankful for the Christian religion, And the God who gave: His Son for a ransom, Mankind to save. Thankful for Mother's, Who taught us how to pray: For guidance and direction, Along Life's $\textcircled{1}$road highway. Thankful for Fathers, And the protection they gave: When we were young and helpless, Father toiled like a slave. We are thankful for books, And their stories of knowledge: Thankful for common schools, And thankful for college. We are thankful for music, And the rhythm of its tones: Send us, O Lord, send us, More music in our homes. We are thankful to God, He is the Fountain Head: That gives us strength and courage, To carn our daily bread. Thankful for Julius Rosenwald, May his generosity never cease; And when he goes to judgement, Lord, rest his soul in peace. STARTING ANEW BY: CARL ECHOLS With the dawn of a New Year should dawn also new hope, new determination. The old year has gone—buried in a past never to rise again. If with it we have buried out out worn ideas and beliefs and embracing in their stead mental and emotional habits that make for true growth, if we have done this, then we have caught the spirit of progress. The old must go and the new must take its place. But some of us hold on to the past too long. Whole notions have been retarded in their onward march for centuries, solely because they clung to the outworn garments of ancestral traditions. And so with individuals, scores have failed to keep pace with progress because of an over devotion to antiquated ideas, beliefs and customs. In the manufacturing and industrial world out-of-date machinery is very quickly gotten rid of when more efficient machinery is to be had. Business men have long ago learned that there is a close correlation between up-to-date machinery and increased out put. In the mental realms this same principle holds true: We must have a mental renovation, a mental house cleaning, as it were, very often if we are to keep mentally abreast of the time. The past has gone with its failures and gloominess. The present is ours with a future in which to develop it. Let us forget old worried and fears that have haunted us like so many evil creatures. Let us bury our past and be resurrected in the status of the new. Then we shall have learned the lesson of true progress. The old year is going and with it, let us hope, all our old negative thoughts. Hall new year, prophetess of a new day, assurer of a renewed life!

Bateman The clandestine movement of the conductor, arousing all my fears are explained as he smiles and tells me at the end of the line that I have reached my destination. I rush up out of the subway glad to breathe the sun-kissed air again, somehow I get my bearings out in the great out-of-doors, seems like God is brought nearer in the feel of the sun's rays, the blue cloudless skies overhead. I breathe deeply and feel the elasticity of security in my step. I rush across the street in the direction which everybody seems going, following the crowd. Somehqw the fear of the Great City has mysteriously left me. I feel as happy and carefree as a youngster going on a holiday trip out on the boat. I enter the gates just as the boat is ready to take off. I cannot seem to understand that the fare is only nickel though the man has told me at least three times. Somehow the old feeling of being-tricked returns and I would have probably been there yet trying to get an explanation of how it was possible to go out on a big ferry across the bay for a nickel if the gateman had not started closing the big iron gates. Dropping the nickel in the slot I started running dow nthe gangway and reached the boat just as she tooted her signal. "Was the statue of Liberty, that I had risked all to see, I could not leave New York without at least beholding the object that has become the symbol of Americanism, in art and literature. Somehow from childhood up the picture of the statue had represented to me all that was grand and noble of American ideals. I had thought of it as a blazing emblem under the sun's rays. A great bronze figure of a proud, dignified woman whose features and garments were kept polished so that she reflected the sunlight, in her hand she held on high a great blazing torch, the torch of liberty that lighted the whole of America. I had heard or read of now the poor, down-trodden of Europe, who, having bundled their all into a mackcack and started for America, the promised land, upon catching sight of the Statue of Liberty had wept and cried out for joy, songs of praise, shouts of thanksgiving going up to the Lord or Lords that they had been able to at least look over into the land before Death came. OPPORTUNITY. Journal of Negro Life, auspiciously begins the New Year with a brilliant article on "The American Occupation of Haiti" by Dantes Bellegrade. It is a devastating and sweeping indictment of American rule from the pen of the scholarly Haitian who is a Commancer in the Legion of Honor and formerly minister from Haiti to France. "A CRUSADER," a vivid story by Emile G. Thomas, is based on America's entrance into the Virgin Islands. J. H. DILLARD, Director of the State Fund writes in a happy vein of the County Training Schools in the South from their beginning until the present time. "FATHER FIELDS" is the subject of a sympathetic biographical sketch by Mary Simkhovitch. THE BOOK REVIEWS include Gordon's "Born to Be" by Eugene Gordon—Gides "Travels in the Congo," by Blair Niles and Puskin's "Captain's Daughter" by Alice Dunbars Nelson. MAGAZINE SECTION BY CHAS. C. FLINT It seems that white Los Angeles have had the school of their pride. They have simply been jolted out of kelter. Nordic supremacy has been challenged, and civilization is in imminent danger. We are facing a great crisis brought on by a terrible clash of color. Truth is our white people, especially those who have deluded themselves upon the subject of mixed marriages, need to be corrected. Man-made laws never have, and never will, control human affections, and due process of law encs where heart's desire commences. Custom may cause the prudent to hesitate and think, but Love will always find a way. Laws against mixed marriages, like all other bad laws, have done more harm than good. Isn't it better for those concerned and society in general that those who wish to marry and live, decently should be permitted to do so, than to encourage clandestine meetings or force those who wish to cross the color line for that purpose to live in adultery? After all, color is only skin deep. Virtue, innate goodness and culture are not to be determined by the color of one's skin. Dr. Eugene Nelson is at least six-eighths white. Any law that presumes to make any man more white than colored, anything but what he really is, is not only silly and ridiculous, but unjust as well. All so-called men; they are made for colored men only, and enforced with a vengeance, not because they are just and right, but because of Custom, Intolerance and Hate. No wonder that the United States is the most lawless country in all the world and that Crime and disrespect for all law is increasing in our country daily. Some of our daily papers simply went wild over the Nelson case; they featured it daily on their front pages. I have been told that parking space is at a premium out in Dr. Nelson's neighborhood, and that many of the credulous women of both races have developed symptoms of all kinds of sickness and pains of all description, so much so that one must wait at least two hours in order to get into the Doctor's office for medical treatment. But since the United States is rightly called the World's greatest melting-pot of races, it would be well for those of both races who feel that there is something radically wrong with the Dr. Nelson case to carefully examine their own family tree for at least a few generations back in order to be sure who is who, before they proceed to throw mud at Dr. Eugene Nelson and his white wife. Great Men Not All Dead The great men are not all dead. There is one here in Los Angeles whose greatness stands out prominently. He is great in politics, he is great in religion, he is great in justice. I say he is great in politics because he is always running for something. To my knowledge he has run for three offices, but unfortunately he has never won anything. Of course, his running has not been altogether useless, as it has served to split the Negro vote. I style him great in religion because if I have been rightly informed, he is a prominent churchman a merciful man who will garmishe all of another man's wages unmindful of the latter man's plea of starvation. The undersigned has felt the lash of this great Christian's loving kindness to the tune of Fiftyfive dollars in the last few days. I guess the Turkey Question "for Christmas had a hand in the rigor of this procedure. Fortunately for the victim of our hero, there is a pay day coming just before Christmas, so that the Yule-tide season will not be altogether dreary The subject of this sketch is great sum of Four dollars, the difference between my full pay check and the amount he claimed I owed him a debt which I did not contract, but which was thrust upon me whether I liked it or not. Of course, he had to return the Four Dollars. However, in spite of the fact that he is just, I made him give me a receipt in full. Above are written my sentiments toward you. Kindly when you have the leisure and the spirit to do so, read the blessed scripture citation. They are from the golden Book of God, The Book of Life, and they mean all they say. Let's believe God's testimony concerning His Son. I Jno. 5. Pray for us. Amen.

Thereby wish Attorney M. H. Breyles a Merry Christmas, and hope he will eat enough nutty to last him until Christmas 1930, that he will increase politically, at least to be able to win some of the places he is fond of seeking, and that he will grow in grace, enough to have his sense of justice tempered by that admirable thing called mercy. GEORGE REDMON 5. The work of Bishop Vernon in traveling thru the district and making personal and writing thousands of letters to ministers and laymen urging co-operation and support. The marvelous increase in the student body is nearly double what it was last year is due to the marked improvement in the faculty of Shorter College, which boasts now of a faculty equal to tat of any other school of its class in Arkansas, and a faculty equal to any in the history of the institution. This improvement is due largely to Bishop Vernon's dictum that only competent instructors should be employed, and his insistence that the work shall be paid amply and promptly. As the result of this action, on the faculty are representatives from Fisk, Ohio State, Wilberforce, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota Universities, and the supporters of the institution are satisfied that their children are being properly instructed. In regard to finance the ministers have collected and t he laymen have contributed more than $30000 for the support of Shorter College. Every building on the grounds has been renovated; ultra modern lavatories, have been installed with conveniences including shower baths; and to memorize these commandable improvements, a few weeks ago there was unveiled, a stone tablet, placed at the entrance to Tyre all, the same bearing the names of Bishop W. T. Vernor and the following persons as members of the Executive Board: Judge Scipio Jones, chairman; Dr. J. N. Campbell secretary; Dr. O. L. Moody treasurer; D. A. F. Kendal, layman, and Drs. W. L. Taylor, J. D. Dennis and J. W. Stinson At the close of the Conference series, a note for $4,000 used in the work of improvement, was fully paid. The bank to whom this amount was paid, warmly commended Bishop Vernon and the school management for prompt settlement, gave assurance of his confidence and his willingness to favor Shorter when needed. It might be well to give the information that in this matter the creditor required Bishop Vernon's undivided endorsement which made him personally responsible and jeopardized his own property. CALL FOR THE NATIONAL NEGRO LABOR CONFERENCE Special to California Eagle, Dec 20. An invitation is herein extended to all labor unions, religious, civic, fraternal, and social organizations; Greek Letter societies and sororities; women's clubs; and all other organizations and associations that are interested in the advancement of any phase of the Negro life in America to send-one or more delegates to attend the National Negro Labor Conference which will convene in Chicago, January 26th to 31st, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, The Pullman Porters' Labor Unions. Negro workers are the backbone of the Negro race, and upon the welfare and advancement of Negro labor depends the progress of all other phases of the Negro's life, whether religious, fraternal, social, civic, or commercial. Hence, the problems of the Negro worker are of vital importance to all elements of the group, and merit their co-operation and assistance in the efforts toward solution. Industrial discrimination; inadequate wages, long hours, unemployment and the burden of many social evils are outstanding among the many handicaps that obstruct the progress of the Negro worker in America today. Industry is at present passing through a revolution due to the increased introduction of machinery and the gigantic combinations of industrial interests. From the standpoint of the worker, collective bargaining is the most recognized method of protecting his interest. In fact, the struggle for the best advantages in life to day is purely a question of the survival of the fittest. The most expert and scientific methods are being employed by both capital and labor in protecting their interests. What is the destiny of the Negro worker in the light of existing conditions? How can his interests be best protected and his present economic status conserved and advanced? What methods are best for the Negra worker to pursue? These vital questions must be deeply considered if the Negro worker is to share in the general progress of the worker in America. No particular interest in the Race can afford to remain apathetic. With a view of ascertaining the facts in the premises, a free and frank discussion of the vital economic and social problems will be held at this conference, and it is the desire of the Brotherhood to solidify the various interests of the Race behind an intelligent, practical and constructive program for the advancement of the Negro worker. The agenda covers a wide range of subjects, including Adult Crime among Negroes, and its contributing causes; The Negro Family, Health, Juvenile Delinquency and Dependency; The Duty of the Christian Church and the Present Industrial System; Adult Education in general and its application to the worker; The Negro Women in Industry; The Negro Student and the Negro Worker; Co-operative Movement Among Negroes; The Negro Press and its influence on the Desire of the Worker; Negro Business; and The Negro Worker and Oraganized Labor. The best authorities in America will gather in Chicago at the conference to talk on the various subjects and the widest discussion will prevail. The conference is being sponsored by a large group of representative citizens headed by Attorney Charles Wesley Burton as chairman. Detailed information will be released at a later date. Milton P. Winster, chairman of the general Executive Board of the Sleeping Car Porter organization, is director of the conference. Further information ROBERT L. POPE RECEIVES CARNEGIE MEDAL AWARDED FOR HERO- DONALD L. BONN On Monday of last week Robert Pope Deputy Sheriff elevator man at the Hall of Records received from the Carnegie Commission a token of appreciation, in other words a Golden Medal; such as are awarded heroes and now realizes that his wonderful presences of mind and his ernest desire to save others, were not only the means which saved them, but that such an act was duly recorded upon memory's pages, read by others and the appreciation is self evident by the words which has just been given him. The Carnegie Commission of course investigated every angle in the tragedy when two desparate attempted to shoot their way out of the Elevator in the Hall of Justice and unanimously voted Pope this medal. Los Angeles was startled on Jan 21st, 1929 when Jack Hawkins, deserved, gunman and murder attempted to shoot his way out of the Los Angeles County jail elevator. Hawkins and Hayes, his partner in crime was being taken back from court to jail. Hardy had the elevator startled when the murder with his gun in hand gave the command, pitch up your hands, everybody. However Robert L. Pope the deputy sheriff operator, over alert, turned and grappled with the gunman for possession of the weapon, shooting him twice with his, Hawkins own gun, as shown by the autopsy report. Pope was hit by one of the hannibals bullets but ran the elevator up to the jail hospital and helped take Hawkins from the bullet riddled cage. The 1928 Grand Jury (known as the clean-up Grand Jury) in a letter to the Civil Service Commission recommended Pope for promotion, and the coroner's jury that probed the shooting commanded him for his coolness and bravery in preventing further loss of life. It will be recalled that of the seven passengers on the elevator the prisoner Hawking who started the shooting was the only one killed. The attention of the Carnegie Hero Funo Commission having been called to the case through the courtesy of Attorney Perry Harris Harris 918 Black building of this city, sent its special agent from Pittsburgh, Pa., to investigate, and procured the facts which resulted in Pope being awarded the Carnegie Hero Medal and $1000.00. One silent point in connection with this case is the fact, that notwithstanding, this award for heroism and the recommendation of the Grand Jury also the Coronors Jury; The Civil Service of Los Angeles County like "Pharoh" of old stands adamant on this promotion for Pope. He at the risk of life stood up for the County and protection of the county's business. In the face of this situation and the known wish of the Grand Jury and citizens in general, Eagle readers can easily surmise that, we have never misled the attitude of the Civil Service Commission in any of our recent criticisms in regard to the Commission and the square deal. Chicago. By A.N.P.—The number of Negroes gaining responsible positions in large Department stores and chain organizations has increased here. Within the past week, Luther Simphin, former director of Agency for the Liberty Life, Insurance Company retail store in the colored district, D. L. Hudson has been made manager of a local Walgreens Drug Store and a Negro manager has been put on charge of one Higly Wiggy Store, manager of the National Tea company Chain. If You Fail To Read THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Friday, December 27, 1929 SPORT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES LINCOLN THEATRE MUTILATED PAGE Bernhardson Billy Wells, a bobing, shadowy Phantom from old Great Britain, whose fighting sun may be setting in a ball of defensive brilliance, but who found the combination of defensive skill and smartness totally unable to cope with the Black Flash of the Pacific Coast who combined smartness, speed, boxing skill and a murderous body punch. You will gather from this that Jack Thompson won his fight last night and he did. Jack Thompson proved himself Billy Wells' worst enemy and his best friend; he showed at one time the complete ability to knock out his cockney-mouthed Briton; he showed at other times an inclination to take it easy and box a bit and be charitable toward the fellow whose head might have landed out in the third row or his stomach kissed against his spine had Thompson the fiery will to do it. BILLY IS POPULAR And so Thompson coasted and fought his way to a point victory that left Billy Wells popular in defeat, popular because of his gameness and his skill, but hardly less popular than the calm Negro who showed himself a master boxer and a thorough sportsman. A house that went better than $9,000 cheered the headliner and cheered other fights of a good card and it cheered Dick Daniels and Harry Dillon when they were introduced by the abbreviated speaking Andy Campion. Daniels and Dillon you see, will meet next Tuesday night in the bout the fans have been expecting to see for two months and it is probable that another 10-rounder will be signed, perhaps Big Boy Peterson and Mike Mandell as a semi-winnup. Mayhap there was many a fan last night who marveled at Wells' dodging and blocking and overlooked the slight but important fact that Thompson was very nearly matching him at his own game. That Negro caught plenty on his elbows and shoulders even as Wells and, through the entire fight, he was never in trouble. There were courageous flurries by Wells, courageous outpourings of punches that brushed Jack's face and mussed his hair and kissed his jaw but when Bill started throwing wildly it was sign he had been punched out of his usual reserve for it was madness to attempt to trade with Thompson. They took it easy in the first round the brown man and the white faced Britisher. They opened up a little in the second with Thompson driving home stiff punches to the body, punches that landed so solidly they hurt some of the customers and paved the way for a dramatic third round. this they were milling in the center with Wells growing weaker every minute when a crushing left hook zumped against Wells stomach and Billy slipped down. Down he was for the count of nine and when he arose he wobbled into a neutral corner and made ready for the test of punishment. THAT SAME CORNER That was the same corner, ladies and gentleman, that Sammy Mandell staggered to on a never to be forgotten day when Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Express, steamed close to the station marked Glory but steamed right past on the side rail of ineffective punching. And there was Wells, horizontally back across the top rope with Thompson raining blows on this man who laughs at blows; pounding him on the chest, from the side, (reaching over the top rope for his face but finding the combination of Wells awkward position and Billy's instinctive, last minute cleverness too much for the knockout. Wells finally staggered out hunchingly and finished the round on the attack, wherefore the boys stood up and cheered the fellow. And he came back to survive the fourth round and won the fifth and he made it even in the sixth but all the time Thompson was taking his time. You know it was funny about that fellow. When he punched he shoved his arms out in a motion; he boxed cautiously, he let Wells bob and duck when there were no punches to duck, he took a couple and blocked others. He went into a lazy sort of a fight and stayed that way for three rounds. Some of the boys, in fact a lot of the boys grew suspicious. Thompson had known he had Wells at his mercy but took to an easy course. Whether he didn't want to fight for the minute or neither he was merely choosing to now that he could box lightly and cleverly as well as fight viciously we can't say. He didn't lose his popularity and neither did Wells but after the ninth the buggs holtered for action and they got it in the tenth. Here was a new Thompson. Here was a Thompson who danced madly around a bewildered, Wells, throwing all manner of punches, vicious to the core and seeking the kill. Three times Wells went down but he stayed it out and when he did the fans cheered him for they didn't want to see him knocked out. Thompson showed his class—Wells put up a brilliant boxing and courageous battle and the fans voted the card a good one. Red hot music, beautiful girls, gorgeous stage settings, exotic costumes, and a casp-producing line-up talent including Nina Mae McKinney! That's "Harlem Scandals," the super-production which Robert Levy will present at the Lincoln Theater starting Monday, December 30. With all those qualifications "Harlem Scandals" will easily be the greatest show in Los Angeles during New Year's Week. Nina Mae McKinney? Everyone knows and adores this seductive little star of that great film epic "Hallelujah!" Miss McKinney will appear through the courtesy of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio and will sing and dance numbers similar to those in which she was featured in the New York production of "Blackbirds." Music? None other than those famous Mosby's Blue Syncopators, twins of his famous Blue Blowers. And everyone knows how hot those Syncopators are. They were the rage when they first appeared at the Lincoln earlier in the season. Beautiful girls?

In addition to Nina Mae there will be Jolly John Larkin, 'Lasses' Brown, Grant and Hall, Bowman and Kirkpatrie. Theeres Brooks who was a favorite of the Chicago nite clubs, Billy Andrews whose "hooting" Broadway loved, Andrew Bishop and scores of others in songs, dances, and comedy sketches. Besides a few surprises that we're keeping in suspense. Advance seat sales indicate that the Lincoln will do a capacity business for the week scheduled for "Harlem Scandals." And as for the Midnite Whopee Jamboree to be staged midnite on New Year's eve, if you don't reserve your seats now you'll be one of those thousands wishing you had. The midnite show will start at 12 P. M. on New Year's eve and will last until the wee small hours of the morning. Several added specialties are in store for this performance. There will also be a midnite matinee Frioc Saturday; Jan. 4, Starting at 12 P. M. THE ROYAL GIANT ING THE WIN Royal Giants To Meet Saturday And Pi Letting down the heavy, hitting Shell Oil nine on last Sunday with a 7 to 6 defeat, after playing a tie Saturday game of elven innings 4 to 4, the Royat Giants are now sitting on top of the winter league roost. And to stay there the Giants must do battle to retain the honors. The roine All *Stars* are right on their heels and any falterling by the Giants will see them rumbling into the second spot. PIRONNE STARS A THREAT The Pirrone All Stars have turned out to be a real threat to the security of the Royal Giants and their second half honors. In the Turkey Day Classics on Christmas, although Pirrone lost to the San Luis 11 to 8, his team caught their stride in the second game and defeated the Giants 6 to 2. Pirrone meets the Giants again on Sunday and another win will throw them into a tie for second place. A CHANGE IN SCHEDULE For the coming week end there has been a change in the official league schedule. In the annual Saturday game the Royal Giants will meet the San Luis Mexicans instead of the Pirone hine. In the Sunday double-headed the Pirone Stars will meet the San Luts in the first game and the Royal Giants in the second game. GAMES GETTING BETTER There has been quite a change for the better in the playing during the second half. The pitching has been very steady, and the running have been much closer, and tighter. All teams are playing better and the patronage has begun to pick up. Unless I miss my guess there will be a real battle in progress this week end.

Hess took the not in the brut and by a margin, Sal won just one round and that was the fourth. After that he seemed to lose all ambition and just couldn't get going again. Can't Fight. In Big Clubs It seems that Sal gets all adjectives whenever he makes a trip down here in the city to take on a boy in the big club on Grand Avenue. The boy has made a couple of good fights at the Olympic in days gone by, but now it seems that he just can't get started when he comes down from the sticks. The Mexican lightweight makes a big mistake by trying to be a boxer. He is no bxper and never will be. The Babe is nothing but a slugger and the sooner he finds it out the better for him. When he was going like a million he was slugging and dropping them all on their faces in the slag. But now it is altogether different. He tries to show his boxing skill and gets his pants kicked every time. Fight At 135 The boys were fighting at a new weight Monday night, 135 pounds. They say up "Berdoo" way that Sal has been hurting himself by making 130. I didn't see any visible difference in the effort he put up Monday night at 135 than there was at 180. The fight wasn't much to speak of. Sal couldn't land his right and Golde was just in there slugging with that right paw of his and covering up that chin of his from that right of Sal's.

Sammy got the duke, but it was close and the boys really did fight for six rounds. Sammy won four out of the six. In the fifth and sixth rounds the boys almost dropped, they were so tired from slugging. They started to slug for sure in the fifth heat and believe me those boys were fighting and no less. Jackson had Delaney in a bad way with short rights and lefts to the head, but couldn't put him away. Paul was so tough he took all Sammy had and came back for /more. Both were so tired they weren't much, in the sixth and they hardly lifted their paws. Sammy Seaman was way too much for Tommy McGough and he took a six round verdict over him in the special event.

Coffin, wife of retired Pullman Porter Instructor, 'Mr. L. A. Coffin, facts learned, pertaining to Mrs. Coffin's death by the writer, relates a sad story, Mrs. Coffin, who was a perfect specimen of health, never had had a doctor for thirty years, was stricken suddenly with out a days previous illness. She had just finished washing her hands, and while in the act of drying them, discovered that she could not close one of her hands up, she called her husband and told him about it and made the remark, that it must be a stroke, Mr. Coffin assured her that it was not the case, but as she started toward him he was alarmed at her falling. He picked her up and went to phone a doctor, as he was in the act of phoning, Mrs. Coffin started toward him, and fell again. He again picked her up and laid her in the bed, then told some neighbors, who came in and attended her till the doctor arrived. After the doctor came she chatted and taken as if nothing was wrong. But she was rapidly sinking away and died a few hours later. It is particularly sad, as Mr. Coffin had just retired from active business with the Pullman Co., and was planning to enjoy the remaining years of his life at home with his wife. The funeral was held Tuesday, I. P. M. from the Independent Church. The beautiful casket was banked with many gorgous flowers, and many residents of Los Angeles were present this is the second sudden and shocking death that has happened in the great Pullman family recently. The Railroad Clatter wishes to extend it's heart felt sympathy to Mr. Coffin and his family. SILVER FOXES BID BEAUTY FAREWELL Slinking out in the open from a lair of social seclusion. A gang of imaculately groomed Silver Foxes flooded the Santa Fe depot last Saturday evening escorting and bidding accei to the affection of one of the Silver Foxes' heart's by the name of Haywood. The beauty happens to be the beloved daughter of Mrs. C. H. Levy, one of our Pullman Porter's operating on the "Lark which is the cause of the mention of this particular incident in the Railroad Clatter. For as a rule this kind of social gossip is left entirely to Miss Gladye Greenaway, our foremost social writer but, since the Foxes' had the nerve to come right under my very nose. It falls my lot to speak. This good looking mama is on her way to the snow and ice bound, country, some where in the vicinity of Exenia, Ohio to visit her sister Marion, now going through Wilberforce. In leaving, she leaves behind in sunny California, a broken heart until her return. It seems as though all of the good looking girls in Los Angeles, are engaged to some Silver Fox. That being the case, something should be done to break up this monopoly of the hot papas. By and by, unless a fellow belongs to the Silver Fox, Lion Tamer's Lone Wolf, Snake Charmers, he will be out of luck. MY EXPERIENCE WITH TWELVE MOVING PICTURE STARS RELATED IN THIS COLUMN SOON According to the daily papers, I understand that the K. K.

SANTA FE RED CAP EXPERT TOOHT DOCTOR Some time ago, my insurance man told me that unless I had my teeth taken care of he would have to discontinue my policy as I was too big a risk, so I was I told by a brakeman operating on the Santa Pe to let the U. S. C. Dental College examine me. I thought this was a fairly good suggestion and went by. The man examined my teeth, and assigned me to a student dentist for the work, imagine my embarrassment when I discovered that the student that was assigned to perform my work was a red cap by the name of Charles Banks, now in his senior year in S. C. Dental College, and worse of all I had been writing this same red cap in the railroad Clatter, and it was this gentleman that was supposed to deflect several tuetts of nine. However I was proud of the fact that one of my own was learning something worth while, and I decided to go through with it if it killed me. I was surprised to find out that Senior Ennis as he is called at U. S. C. really knew what it was all about, and relieved me of the troublesome molar without any pain what ever. Sincerely then he has worked very ardently over my teeth and it will not be long now before I shall be able to bite somebody in the DANCE FLOOR FOR FULLMAN BUILT Traveling hours may soon be danced away, owing to the ingenuity of an engineer of Baden. He has built, and invented a dancing floor especially constructed to eliminate the cooling effect of the train and insure perfect smoothness. The music, will of course, be supplied by radio, and their will be the invisible cocktail bar. SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO EN-LARGE DEPOT As the writer rambled down by the Southern Pacific Depot last week, He noticed that the majority of red caps seemed in exceptionally good spirits. It being so noticeable during these hard times, naturally, I investigated the reason: One of the boys supposed to be in the know, took me to one side and informed me that the supreme court's decision in regards to the railroad's constructing a Union Depot, was handed down in the various railroad's favor, a n d a n d that now the roads were preparing to go ahead with a program of expansion that has been held up these many years pending in regards to a Union Terminal. "What do they intend to do?" I asked "Well! The Southern Pacific, owns the ground from 4th street clear down to 6th street and it is plan of the S. P. to enlarge the depot on the present site to take this entire site up, when finished it will be one of the finest railroad stations in the country. Naxurly, if we enlarge the depot we will have to have more red caps, we have heard various tales of what the Santa Fe intends doing, and we have got too big a hold on Pacific coast business to let any other road take it away from us. Rumors have been circulated around for some time that the Santa Fe will build a million dollar station on their present site, but when our program is completed, they will have nothing on us. It's the Southern Pacific first, last and always' on the coast. We have gained that name and intend to keep it all cost, and with his chest poked out. He sounded on to receive a huge bag that was handed out of the door of a Rols Royce by a passenger about to board the "Lark" for San Francisco. Starting tales will be told in chas. L. Upton's experience with twelve Moving Picture stars which will be published in this column soon. "E'VERY TUB" Mr. Thadeus Taft, R. Hicks, and Chas. L. Upton were the honored guest of Mr. Gene Lenoard, famous piano teacher by e a r at a broadcasting reception in the palatial broadcast studio on the eleventh floor o f the "U. S.

The Santa Fe had to loose some money on the "Chief" their excess fare train. It was marked on the boards last Saturday for 3 P. M. W. B. Holland, who has been on the sick list for some time, has reported for work. R. Tindall, paid San Diego a visit last week, on the new line operating by the way of Phoenix to San Diego. It broke Normand Steward, and E. G. Brooks heart to have to go home without meeting the "Chief" last week they hate to miss any of the easy pickings.

Ex-Bar President Declares Bruseaux Tried To Extort Money From Him Chicago, HI. Dec. 24.—Christmas greetings from C. Francis Stradford, former president of the National Bar Association to Sheridan A Bruseaux, principal of the Bruseaux National Detective Agency, came in the form of a charge that Bruseaux had tried to engineer an extortion plot in which the lawyer and Dr. Benjamin Bluitt, prominent Chicago physician and surgeon, were to have been the victims. Stradford's charge against Bruseaux and after the appearance of a story in a local paper siring the details of an inquest into an alleged illegal operation performed upon a girl who later died by Dr. Bluitt and the fee charged by Mr. Stradford for representing the physician. Dr. Bluitt was discharged by the coroner's jury, but it was intimated in the story published that the fee of $3,000 which he had paid Atty. Stradford was exorbitant and that it must have been obtained because Dr. Bluitt was afraid of the consequences of the situation in which he found himself. The name of Brusaceau was not mentioned in the story. Lut Stradford in his reply to the article places the entire blame upon the attorney. "The fact is that the whole misrepresentation arose out of the slave psychology which still lingers among some of us in believing that a colored professional man should not receive adequate compensation," he asserts; "and, therefore, if he / does, Fast Comfortable Trains Before you travel, investigate Southern Pacific's service—four great rail routes east, an intensive network of trains covering the Pacific Coast, also auto stages and steamship lines.

"An any capable attorney knows the fee of a lawyer is based upon the gravity of the charge plus the financial ability of his client. For instance, Clarence Darrow received five thousand dollars for defending Dr. Sweet on the charge of murder—a rather low fee for Darrow, which he accepted, however, because of the principle involved in the case—while the Chicago Bar Association fired his fee in the Loch Leigh case at one hundred fifty thousand dollars exactly thirty times as great. Furthermore, the fee may be fixed at the beginning to cover the entire service to be rendered in the case, which may be brief or protracted or may, fortunately, terminate at the inquest. "No one with any sense of human values would regard the fee of three thousand dollars as excessive to defend one of the leading physicists of Chicago against the most serious charge known to the law-murder. "The tempest in the tempot actually grew out of a certain busy-body one high-priced detective, Sheridan A Brusseaux, who proposes to make himself an involuntary, uninvited partner of anyone who receives or has an attractive sum of money. Aside from the facetiousness, the trouble grew out of a shake-down plot directly engineered by this storementioned Sheridan Brusseaux, who came into my office in person and demanded a part of the fee which Dr. Blufft had paid. Not being a lawyer and being entirely ignorant or the law, Brusseaux had advised the doctor to make a false, written statement, which warranted not only the inference that he, the doctor, was guilty of the crime of murder by abortion, but also the conclusion that he had engaged in a conspiracy to scribe public officials who had charge of his case. How on earth he expected to help the doctor's case by such a statement, even if it had been true, no one knows except Mr. Brusseaux. And, by the way, this is the same Brusseaux who muddled up the Loesch inquiry, and made it impossible to punish the actual murderers of Octavious Granady. "The only remaining question is how this happened to get into the hands of Mr. Bruseaux. In the first place, he and the doctor have been intimate friends for a number of years, and Bruseaux has been a constantly defaulting tenant of the doctor, according to the doctor's own statement, notwithstanding the huge sums of money which it is said Bruseaux received out of the Leesch investiga- tion. Money disappears quickly when one is making a bid for social position by giving expensive parties. Furthermore, the fire and actual need of another person is short to say means to obtain it." "Ordinarily I would not enter into a controversy with a person of the standing of Mr. Brusseau, for considering our respective reputations, I would have everything to lose and nothing, whatever to gain. However, there have been so many false rumors about in this matter that I feel the public is entitled to a statement of the facts and for that reason this statement is given." Although the information was not contained in the statement of Mr. Stradford, it is claimed that Dr. Bluitt found difficulty in assembling the $3,000 fee and was forced, when unable to collect款 from Mr. Brouseau who lives in his building, to wire William "Gooseneck" McDonald, wealthy Fort Worth, Texan, to send the funds demanded by his counsel. Mr. McDonald is said to have sent the money without any delay. JAMES H.
