IT SEEMS to me that we are paving

attitude reminds me of an incident I

THE HAITIAN situation at ahis time
ia very perplexing one. Some fair
minded Americans are wondering if
the American occupation scheme is
seeting with success or if at the end
vpux more years the Haitians will be
less. prepared to. govern themselves
than ther were heiore America stepped
an
There are many causes for the dis-
satinfaction ef the natives with regaras
to American ru'e at this time. Ber-
haps one of the colossal mistakes was
the appeintment of Dr. Freeman of
Alabama a head of the Filipino Voca-
Yonal Training School. Natives, ac-
cording te Professor Logan of Uninn
Union University of Richmond, Va.
had been as-ured that as they acquir-
cd traning they woyld be promoted
to responsible positions in cunnectinn
with their educational institution. [n-
stead under Dr. Freeman's rule, south-
ern white men were brought ever and
placed in charge which meant inabil-
ity to increase the fifteen dollar ~chul-
arships that had been provided native
students. Anuther cause for dissatis:
faction with=the American sirectors uf
vducation was their inability to speak
French, hence having to make then
selves intelligible through interpreters
If the American government is tru-
ly anxious to promote the cause of
seli-government in Haiti, then let our
government pick men for educational
pests in Haiti who have not studied
and graduated irom the school= ot
race hatred, such as is the case of the
gentleman from Alabama. Rather, let
as send men who believe in the sci-
ence of right thinking and in their di:-
charge of duty will recognize neither
race. color nor previous condition but
just people, God's people. ali of whom
came into the world through one and
the same medium and until today we
have never learned that death haa «
different sting for dark mea than that
jor white men; and yet even though
these facts stare us in the face. ur
proud Caucasian brothers see fit to
carry their race prejudice and hatred
into Haiti and there attempt to hu-
miliate the native in his own home.
The condition of affairs in Haita at
this time to say the least. is disgust-
ing and is an insult to trve intelligence.
In his speech betore Congre-3 last
week, Oscar DePriest, Congressman
from Illinois, suggested that we must
have unbiased testimony on the Hait-
tian situation, hence in sending out a
Commission at least one broad-guagec
black Amenican should be 2 part oi
said commission. He said the task of
finding Americans equipped to study
the Haitian problem will be aifficult.
To our way of thinking at least two
Negroes should. be on this commiss-
jon for we believe that the Negro will
be better prepared to weigh the situa-
tion than the average white American
because of the fact that the Negro has
and is still suffering fram some of
the causes being experienced just now
by the Haitians under American rule.
EVEN THOUGH we are a little late.
at this time we rise to express our
objection to the homély simile of
General Smuts when he compared the
Negro to a jackass and in qualifying
his remark said it was the Negro’s
patience that he referred to and meant
it in a complimentary manner. Our
contention is that the Negeo has beer
far tos patient. He hag taken the
white ‘man’s religious, s9¢ial and po-
tical program and. seemingly as yet
has no wesire to make: his own pro

“NEVER WAS A MAN MORE WOR.
THY OF THE LOVE OF
A PEOPLE”
BY: WILLIAM E. LILLY
(Por the Associated Negro Press)
{EDITOR'S NOTE: There fs an
pparent tendemcy among educated
Negroes today to question the attitude
of Abrab2m Lincoln on Slavery. This
tendency is expressed in the thought,
as Mr. George S. Schuyler, has pat it,
that Lincoln's service to the Negro
was “opportunistic,” and that he had
no sincere, personal interest in the
freedom of the slaves. Atty. William
E. Lilly, a distinguished practitioner
at the Chicago Bar, has made a pro
longed study of the life of Lincoln.
For the murpose jof clarifying the
mind of his people on the subject of
the Emancipator, Mr. Lilly has con-
sented to write for The Associate:
Negro Press a series of articles which
will show the real character of Mr.
Lincoln.]

the suzpicion and uncovering other cir-
cumstances, Bradiey was arrested and
placed in jail, charged with suspicion
of murder.
It is said there were found foot
tracks going away from the car in
which the woman was found, and a
peculiar sort of mud or sanu was in
this particular spot. It is further re-
lated when the officers found Brddley
at his home, they examined a pair oi

(By ART HAMILTON)
A little short bit of humanity that can sing the Blues out of this world and the next forty too, has stopped the Apex Nite club's show for two weeks running with her original and unique way of presenting them. We are speaking of no one other than Miss Laura Smith late of Denver, now of Los Angeles.
That's quite a long lead for so short a little lady, but there is more to follow and about the same party concerned. She received no less than five encores Wednesday night, one of the biggest nights at the Apex Night Club.
NEW ONE THIS WEEK
Laura has a brand new one that she sprouts on as this week. How's this? "Have You Ever Belt That Way," is the title and Smithy must have been feeling that way, because they just wouldn't let her sit down and she came back with two more red hot numbers that took them down to the last brick. No tolling she really sang them down. Another new one and an old favorite; the new one, "Looking for You Baby and No Place to Go"; the old favorite "How Am I Going to Get it If You Keep on Snatching It Back"—that one sends them into hysterics and no less. We could tap away all day here just telling about this new little star Curtis has imported from the Rocky Mountains, but the rest of the show must command just a little of our attention.
LOTTIE GEE CLICKS
Miss Lottie Gee fresh from Broadway and the brightest of bright lights got away from here with two knock em dead numbers "How Am I To Know" went over like a ton of brick. Coincidentally that happens to be the writer's favorite, so I guess that had something to do with our falling so hard for Miss Gee and her warbling. She could sing that song all night for a weak straight for yours truly, with Curtis and his incomparables doing as only the Blues Blowers can do. As Stomp says, "Yeah, Yeal," and a couple of yes, yes.
Along about Miss Mildred Washington and her Creole Cuties prance out in one of her original numbers, "The Team Poles" Miss Washington is a producer par excellence and it is a real pleasure to watch her

ANDERSON BROTHERS-JONES
Eddie Anderson and his famous brother G. Anderson along with the other third of the team Gus Jones, assisted by Rutledge and Taylor pull off a clever bootlegging stunt, only the wet stuff happens to be a dog—draw your own conclusions.
The Drinard Trio always gets a hand with their clever eccentrics.
IVY AND MARY
Ivy Anderson and the High Priestess of Hey Hey and Miss Mary Richards, the toe dancer of note, pull off a little team dance act that takes them down to the boards.
To close the regular show Miss Washington gave us one more glimpse at her high stepping chorus.
WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL NIGHT
After the regular show came the hour that is known as Professional hour. All the professionals in the house are called upon to render a number and they always come thru. Most of these acts are worth the price of the best stage show in town.
Curtis Carpentier, the genial assistant Mosby has added to his staff served as master of ceremonies. He brought out first for the guest's approval. Eddie and Babe, a direct transfer from big time back in Chicago to the Coast. They were a surprise package and no less. As a team they are hard to beat. Babe sang, "I Can Give You Anything but Love Baby, and although she was a little hoarse she went. Talk about a hand.
Johnny Hoarse a man about town sang and danced.
SPECIAL GUEST
As a special guest, Dr. Layton Hamilton of the Pacific Showman's Association occupied a ringside table, Dr. Hamilton has just returned from a trip to Australia and the Apex was voted by the Doc to be the best entertainment; that he has seen in two years.
ABE LYMAN'S BOYS THERE
Al Gail of Abe Lyman's famous music makers just returned from Europe, did by special request "Wouldn't It Be Wonderful" and "In Your Own Back Yard." Al is just a kid, but that baby can really go.
Paul Small of Paul Whiteman's who was anything but small gave his impression of Fatty Arbuckle doing a buck and wing.
Creole Caroline Snowden just had to do Louisiana and Baby Look What You Done to Me.
Claude Collins also by special request rendered "Waiting for Ships That Never Come In."
Stomp closed the show with his famous impersonation of Al Jolson singing "Sonny Boy." Climb down off my knee Sonny Boy, you just none of mine, Sonny Boy—Guess the rest.
STARS LAURENCE CRINER
The production this week features Laurence Criner, who takes the part of the third party in the story, that's always the dangerous part you know. It is a human story of every day life that carries a lesson for the young married couples and the old ones as well.
Cleo Desmond plays the part of the going wrong wife, with Andrew Bishop cast in the role of the misunderstanding husband. They have been married just about two years and have had one baby and it died. Jack Sheridan (Andrew Bishop) is a pretty successful young business man and he lives out in the suburbs with his charming wife Agnes (Cleo Desmond.) As it always happens, Jack can't give his wife the many pretty clothes she would like to have and she starts work to get them, not letting her husband know of course.
Jack catches her in several lies and then there is a big scene and he turns her out with the man he believes she is in love with. Incidentally this man happens to be the man that gave Sheridan his start in the business world.
COMES BACK
The next day Agnes comes back for an understanding is made between Jack and his wife and it finally comes to light that his wife is working for this man as his private secretary to get money to buy the pretty things her heart longs for.
Rupert Marks Miss Kennedy, a new comer, score a hit as the next door neighbors.
Barrington Carter as the old book peddler and Laurence Criner as the third party are all there.
Harold Lloyd Is Highly Commended by Ralph

Harry Smith Rates in
New York According
to Jimmy Woods
(By ART HAMILTON)
In looking over our exchanges this week, something hit the old apple for a circuit run and a little more to boot.
Jimmy Woods in his Sport Topics was making it a little hot for Thomas McArdle in regard to the rating he gave certain boxers in the Brudstreet of the fictive world and more because he failed to rate a boy of color that according to the way Jimmy was speaking deserved a top spot rating and no less.
This McArdle is some bug in the hit and take game if you would like to know it and this kid of color that Jimmy Woods is raving about must be the goods and no less. Woods writes with a wonderful non-partisan style.
HOW McArdle RATES THEM
Thomas rates the leading middleweights as follows: The big Eastern man starts off with Mickey Walker, the champ in first spot and then caries on thusly: Ace Hudkins, Rene DeVos, Len Harvey of England; Dave Shade, Harry Ebets, Gorilla Jones, Vince Dundee, My Sullivan, and Doc Owrad (never heard of him) nary a tickle does he give Ll' Harry Smith and believe me that riles our friend Jimmy Woods up something terrible.
Woods becomes so bold as to hint maybe Harry and the man behind him might not be in concord with the powers that he and that Smith has a hard time finding a place to fly his trade, but Jimmy says he does not think that of a big man like Thomas McArdle.
Lets quote James for a change, just to give you an idea how wrought up the kid was over the neglect McArdle showed in overlooking Harry Smith. Here it is:
"Still, I know that Thomas is astute in matters ratio one of the smartest of the company's business.
As a matter of fact the letter alleges that Mr. Bloyd himself has been instrumental in saving his firm great sums of money by his alertness in detecting persons purloining goods from the company.
Honesty has its reward and Mr. Bloyd is satisfied that the same has been recognized in this manner by the firm which he attaches to serve."

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY
The Hawaiian Beauty Products Company announces that it will place in every drug store, beauty parlor and barber shop in Los Angeles its wonderful discovery of the age—NO-MOR-KINK.
Colored Movie Stars and Colored Society Now Demand the Refinement of Straight, Well-Groomed Hair Made Possible by NO-MOR-KINK.
This Wonderful product not only straightens all kinky hair but removes dandruff and helps promote the growth of hair.
NO-MOR-KINK is not an experiment It is a scientifically tested and proven product and absolutely scives the kinky and unruly hair problem.
Watch For The Advertisement In This Paper Next Week
A slight change in the schedule has ringmasters in the game, I also know that Thomas goes all over and misses little through his silver-rimmed specks in quest of new fistic face. How he overlooks Smith, therefore, is something of a mystery that I believe should be explained forthwith if it sooner." To go on with Woods: "For Harry has everything. He is a boxer and a hitter. Those who saw him punch Pal Silvers out or time, as we say in dear, old London, will bear me out. This is not offered in complaint of Thomas' entire rating of the middle-weight division, although Smith is about ready form Champion included. Indeed I wouldn't put Harry over Hudkina or DeVos, but he certainly should be rated above the others in Thomas' group." So spake James Woods of the Brooklyn News an up and coming young man that knows a man's worth when he sees him and doesn't let the fact of his color change his mind for him. That's all, there isn't any more.
1926, $11,758.31; in 1927, $43,222.58; in 1928 $16,130.37; and in 1929, $29,977.52. This is called "The Ninth Crusade." There were Eight Crusades in the Middle Ages, and in 1922 the Colored Women or America conducted what Dr. DuBois called "The Ninth Crusade," and raised about $15,000 to fight, lynching. Early in 1924, the Babies of Colored Mothers began "The Ninth Crusade"—and it will not cease—till Colored Babies cease, or until they are "Born free." Many branches have held contests repeatedly. Los Angeles, which leads the whole field, held its third Baby Contest in 1928 and organized the first Baby Fraternity in the history of the world. Pasadena organized Chapter Two.

The Royal Giants will travel to Long Beach to finish their series with Shell Oil.
According to the report of the officer, he found the three men, Clarence Hart, Etsie Eason, and Ira Stewart, robbing a freight car. He placed them under arrest and as he was taking them to jail, Hart attempted to draw an automatic pistol from his pocket. He killed Hart with a shotgun and shot the other two as they attempted to escape. Stewart was seriously wounded and Eason was killed.
Weaver will be called upon to explain why he did not search Hart when the arrest was made and why it was necessary to shoot to kill, in order to capture men accused of such a trivial offense.

Rural Health Service In
The United States

| Phe United States Public Health
Service has recently issued a report
dealing vith Uhe extent-of rural heaith
semice in the Unites States. On Jaa,
1, 1929, 467 counties or districts were
provided with whole time health of-
ficers,
As heaith conditions in a rural com:
Pmunity in one state inffience those in
ether communities in that State in eth.
sor states, it scems that all the State
governments and the Federal Govern-
ment may be perfectly concerned with
the development ard maintenance ai
cfiieient local health service, through-
out tear extensive riral areca. Local
health offcers, in doing their work
ficientiy, necessarily perform duties
such ay the colicetion of merbidiry
and mortality statistics and the carry-
ing out of measures to prevent the
spread of infection in inter-county and
interstate trailic, for which the state
governments and the’ Federal govern-
ment have a degree of definite respon-
sibility,
‘There are in the Unites States about
2,500 counties or districts comparable
to counties wholly or in considerable
part rural to which logal health ser-
view under the direction or whole-
time county or focal district health
ofiicers is applicable and in which
such service would be highly advan-
tageous. The number of these units
of population in which such service
was in operation at the beginning of
the year 1929 was 467, as against 414
at the beginning of the year 1928,
Experience indicates that the best
foundation for rural health service in
the United States is the county health
department under the dircetion of a
qualified whole time county health of-
ficer. It becomes more and more evi-
dent to these concerned with practical
experience in the public health field
that agencies concered with the pro-
niotion of specialized health activities,
such as typhoid fever prevention, hook-
worin coutrol, tuberculosis prevention,
malaria control, venereal disease pre-
vention, or child and materity hyigene,
can perforin most effectively and eco-
nonically by |combining their specific
activities in With and making them a

Public interest thus manifeste,! ia the Fiftieth Anni-
versary Number of THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE has in-
spired the Eagle Club to sugment its plans and issue a
publication fuller and more complete than those original-

incentive to the release of a year book unequalled by any
group of Race foik in the United States.
A special feattire of the number will be a complete
directory of ail business enterprises operated hy Negroes
in the city, giving name, location and telephone number.
This feature alone makes it invaluable to every home or
place of business. Before our solicitors can even get star-
ted, already scores of applications for space in the direc-
tory or “Blue Book” section are pouring into the office,
and those who fail to take advantage of this feature will
regret it in after years. (ct your copy ready and if the

“You Have More Time to Read” is
the hopeful title of a short leaflet by
Robert S. Lynd, reprinted from an is
sue of Publishers’ Weekly, Mr. Lynd
tells us that most of us are spendthrift
readers; that we we waste from ten
to thirty minutes of each hour of
reading. A survey of average adults
showed a variation of from 2.5 words
per second to 9.8 words, showing that
many could increase their reading
speed about 400 per cent.
Suggestions for greater reading
“mileage” as a means of finding more
time to read, made by Mr. Lynd are
briefly as follows:
1. Cultivate the knack of shifting
gears, e¢cording to the type. of read-
ing in your hand, A newspaper or a
story may be read more rapidly than
a history or a scientitic book.
2. Force yourself to read ‘more rap.
idly than {s your custom, concentrat:
ing your attention on assimilating the
meaning of the sentences.
3. Do not allow the eye to break its
forward sweep to pick ap words miss-
ed. Try to read by phrases and ber-
tenees rather than by words ortsyl.
lables.
4. Establish a regular rhythm of
eye-movements adapted to the length
of line-and the subject matter.

Purchase of Sinai Tem

(By: A.N. P)
Chicago, Jan. 14.—Simultaneoys
with the annodncement that the di
rectors of Sinai Temple, the mast
prominent Jewish Synagogue, had
purchased a site for the erection of |a
new temple, came the report that tlhe
present howse of worship would be
bought by the African Methodist Epis-
copal Curch of the Fourth Diocese,
‘According to present reports, tie
Temple will not be purchased by
Greater Bethel A. M. E. Church, which
fs yet without s permanent place of
worship, due to a fire which destroyed
the church edifice some years a€0,
but by the entire diocese and will be
known as the Diccessan Cathedral,
standing as a memorial to the work
of Bishop Arcaibald J, Carey, who
presides over this district. *
Just prior to the holding of the A.
M. B. General Conference here last
year, it was reported that Sinai Tem-
ple had been purchased by the Bethel
Congregation for a sum in the neigh,
borhood of $400,000. “This purchase,
however, ig alleged to have failed tp
materialize due to factional differ-
ences in the caurech and petty jeal
ousies between certain bishops anil
officers of the church. |
Efforts were made to consumate the
deal in order to hold the conference
in the Temple, but this too fell
throucb, due to the fact that the nec.
pssary down pryment was not raised.
Immediately after the appointment of
Bishop Carey to this victory, in one
of the most ‘ectic meetings ever held.
by the conference, negotiations are
reported to have been opened again,
for the purchase of the Temple, which
is located in the heart of the’ South-
side, 46th street and South Parkway
a block of the most valuable proper-
ty in Chicago.
It is known here that it fs the 4».

would be able to devite ways and
means to secure Sinai Temple, which
would be the pride of African Method-
fom throughout the country. When
the first deal fell through it was free-
ly stated that if Bishop Gaines had
co-operated with Bishop, Carey, the
property could have been secured.
This report brought changes and

Bishop Cerey came to this District
after seytral years of active and pro-

building new churches. Chicago was
wofully behind in this respect and
his appointment wes expected to bring
forth certain results, one of which
was the rurchase of ‘Sinai Temple.
Bishop Curey is reported to have been
in eonstant touch with the directors
of the Temple and to be trying to
force a sale.

not been paid.

GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. Church
—Rev. T. F. Jones, Pastor—Fair congregations worshipped at the services at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church Sunday, January 12. The Presiding Elder, Rev. J. W. Price preached at the morning service using as his subject "God's Hidden Mysteries," which was exceedingly inspiring. The S. S., was well attended and seems to be progressing splendidly under the leadership of its new officers.
The evening service was turned into a general testimonial meeting at which all the members present, told what they plan to do to help with the coming revival.
The revival this year will be held jointly at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church, and Ward Memorial A. M. E. Church. The pastors of these two churches, Rev. Jones, of Grant Chapel and Rev. Howard of Ward Memorial will serve as evangelists. The campaign by the personal workers will soon begin, and it is expected that the revival this year will even surpass the one held last year, which was the greatest ever held in this section of the city. The revival will begin Monday evening, January 20, at Grant Chapel A. M. E. Church, corner of E. 108th St. and Compton Ave. All are cordially invited to attend the meetings. They will be conducted for two weeks at edge of the churches.
FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST Church—
Rey A. P. Ramsey, Pastor—Service at the Friendship Baptist Church were splendid and very well attended as usual. Although the weather was very inclement, a good size congregation at both services. A covenant meeting was held in the evening, and in the morning a soul stirring gospel message was delivered by the pastor.
The Sunday school held its usual session. After the lesson was taught and Reviewed, a volunteer program was given. It was enjoyed by the children especially.
The B. Y. P. U. held its usual service at 0:00 o'clock. The president, Mrs. B. Moore is doing all in her power to make the B. Y. P. U. a success for the year 1930. A hearty invitation is extended to come out and worship with us next Sunday.

Cold Spot of America Is Phoenix, Arizona
---
On a recent trip to Phoenix, AZ although on a mission of greeting to ent of America's distinguished citizens in this vestibule to the great and glorious Golden West we found time to find out that we really stood upon the "Gold Spot" of America. All of Arizona is pleased and feel a measure of pardonable pride in this characterization. Indeed we met our friends of years standing, those who had had from our boyhood home in "Bleeding Kansas" as well as those from other cities. We are indebted to Ed. Seymour of the Capital Real Estate Co., for many courtesies and his interest in our presence. He is, in an old time friend, knew everything about Kansas and everybody we knew as well. Reminences were in order and each of us got our ears full.
---
We met Edward Noble, a boyhood friend, though years had passed, we seemed again as boys on the "Old Spot" of America. Then we met our good old Los Angeles friend, the very astute and resourceful Dr. William H. Foster, who is a full fledged citizen of Arizona and enjoying a most wonderful practice in his profession. Then the former business associate with us in Los Angeles, now a prosperous citizen of Phoenix was J. D. Washington who is making a record for service and advancement in this wonderful section of this country. We called at the office of W. H. Shelten, big time realty dealer and regretted his absence. Likewise did we call upon others.
Among other prominent citizens whom we met were, Prof. Aldrich of the public schools; Mr. Howard, all of our fraternal brother of the L. B. P. O. E. of W., and their hospitality and greetings cannot never be duplicated let alone so exciled. Through the courtesy of Mr. Seymour we visited the State Capitol and met many o the state's officials all of whom tendered us a most cordial greetings. During our short stay we were much impressed with the "Gold Spot" and its citizens. We see here a wonderful opportunity for development and a friendly gesture from all sides to aid and assist those who would go forward.
We like Phoenix and when we leit we solemnly promised a return visit to get better acquainted that we can at all times shake hands across desert, plains and mountains for the onward march of progress for all people from the "Gold Spot" of America to the great and mighty Golden West which is the boundary line for all the rest.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
(Continued from Page One)
torm informed of them. Long observation confirms the writer in this bedfell.
Hero-worship is the common glory or common weakness of mankind. it is natural then that the American Negro group, starting upward with its new freedom, having no historic back ground, with its own racial heroes, should soon adopt one. it is natural, too, that it should choose as its patron salut the man from whom had come the vast amelioration of its lot, so sudden that to untrained minds it was nothing less than a miracle.
Abraham Lincoln, thus chosen, was well-fitted for such a role. Strange man he was, and strangeness is a necessary element of miracles. He was to once the gloomiest, and the man most given to honor, who ever sat in the presidential chair. At once with the tenderness of a gentlewoman, and with a fatalism that in pursuit of his purpose enabled him to withstand an outrage of blood that might have made a Caesar or Bonaparte cause. And at once, he was both devotee and infidel.
The generation that witnessed the miracle remained true to its amounted. And the succeeding generation. Not today, in the second generation, shepties are abroad among this people. If启蒙ism is rampant in the land now theirs by legal title. Among Americans of the dominant group they see that it is well nigh the beginning and the end of wisdom.
Among those sketches are men brilliantly endowed and of high attainment. Such men sometimes impress by show prestige, despite a meagerness of evidence. But the love given by the Negro people to Abraham Lincoln by reason of tremendous achievements for them accomplished will not be sneered away by misguided sketches, however brilliant. Natural impulse, more powerful than subtle argument, will hold this people true to its first love. And never was man more worthy of the love of a people than Abraham Lincoln.
Strangle Aged Woman To Death
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 14—By A. N. P—Police believe that in the arrest of Gil Hamilton and Elvis Beard, the murder of two aged women, who were found straugled to death in their home, has been solved.
Miss Eliza House, age 70, and her sister, Vivie, were found dead in their home a few days ago. The marks on the throat indicated that they had come to their death from strangulation and the fingerprints of the murders were clearly defined on their throats. The drag-net was thrown out and when pulled in Tuesday morning it contained Hamilton and Beard, who were reported to have been seen leaving the Smith home about the time the women were murdered.
Robbery has been given as the theory of the murder and the two suspects will be given a preliminary hearing at an early date. Due to the age of the women and brutality of the crime, feeling is high against the prisoners but no mob violence is expected since all parties are Negroes.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPARTIAL si
The President of the United States, the Congress, Crime Commiss-
ion and other departments of the government along with all classes of
our citizenship are much concerned about the ESih_ Amendment and its
enforcement. In order to,calorce the Taw it is claimed by the govern-
meat the killing of many human beiwgs is justified. On the other hand
it is claimed by others that the killings are wholly unjustified and, con-
stitute nothing short of murder, committed bv sanction of our govern
ment. ,
his is a sad situation and it is strange to us that out of all these
great minds including the Hearst newspapers, thes fail to visualize the
real imp@diment in the way of Law enlorcement. ;
Failing to do so we would suggest the tite saying of Abraham Lin-
coln, who said the government cannot stand “half slave and half free.”
This having proved to be true indeed, thea how in the world can our
government as now constituted, exist hy ifs policy of entorcing the 18th
Amendment and ignore the With ant 13th Amendments. The Presi-
dent said, enforce all laws. and vet dey go merrily an their way without
one’gesture toward! the enforcement of either the Pith oar 1th) \mend-
ment :
This being so is it any wonder hit hung beings are losing their
lives every dav and that anarchy almest prevails in so ar sty the enipree-
ment of the [8th Amgndment is concerned and hus if will ever be un
less there is tn awakening in thethear:s and consciousness of the Amer-

LIFE IN THE COUNTRY *:
Considerable discussion is heard these davs as to the means that may
be adopted to keep folks on the farm. The situation has become serious.
for many experienced farmers 4re making into the cities, either for the
purpose of earning what they consider casier money. or to use their sav
ings in giving their children and shemselves the advantage of city life.
Whatever the cause. the situation remains, and it-constitutes a problem
that may well engage the attention of national and state authorities. The
fear is expressed that the production of food may become reduced to
such an extent that scarcity will not only greatly increase prices, but
threaten the welfare of the people.
While the reasoning is purely academic and subject to the views of
each individual it is probably true that the persons who make occasional
trips from the rural districts to the larger towns enjoy these visits and
the things thev see much more than those who see them every dav. It is
acase where familiaritv sometimes breeds contempt. In the matter of
better school facilities in the towns, there is in most cases no place for
arpument. although some progress has heen made in a number of states
to bring about a centralization of teaching thay gives country pupils some
of the advantages of the citv in a course of study
There is nothing to justify undue pressure to keep men and women
and boys and girls on the farms. Rural life should be so attractive in it-
self that enough persons will make choice of the country life to insure the
crops of grain and quantities of other foodstuffs needed to maintain all
the people at a reasonable cost. i
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
There is always more or less worry connected with monev. Thase
of usiwho do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who
have it are often put to a great deal of worry in hanging on to it. In
‘ORN4A. EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened
addition to this no little worry is brought on by the desire to make a
jitney grow where only a penny grew before. It seems as though poets
and philosophers have conspired to bring money into disrepute, so an-
xious are they to tell us that the mere possession of it is a great burden.
In more recent times there has come to us the warning that money
carries germs. Germ experts even went so far as to.demonstrate that a
bank clerk’s occupation was particularly hazardous because he handles so
much money. But now this dread has been dispelled. After exhaustive
investigation on the subject of money as germ carriers two Illinois Uni-
versity’ experts assure us that this danger has been greatly exaggerated.
It seems that the materials or metals from which coins are made act as
destrovers of bacteria.
This relieves us of the worry connected with the handligg of money,
The next thing for some expert to do is to tell us how we may’ be relieved
of our worries in trying to get hold of it '

those who are withholding their intention to enter the race for Califor-

tration the mirare of falke economy has been dispelled, and the illusion
that a bursting treasury, with its idle dollars, dissipated, Instead there
has been an era of improvement, State highways have been constructed

“The Nutional Association for the
Advancement of Colored People re-
ports that there were 12 Ivnchings in
1929: the Department of Records and
Research of Tuskegee Institute re-
ports 10. The difference is presum-
ably due tq a difference in. classificate
ion af cases on the borderline be-
tween lynching and murder. —How-
ever that may be, the record for the
year is virtually that of 1928. when
there were 11 lynchings according to
both the Association and the Institute,
Ten or 12 lynchings are 10 or 12 too
many, but the annual lynching record

tat not a single lyncher has been pun-

'a dark blot upon the nation’s record,
while the failure to punish the per-

forces of law and order.”
SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN:
“The number of lynchings prevented
reflects both a strengthening of the
forces of law and order backed by
intelligent public opinion and a con-
tinuance of the lawless mob spirit
which these forces have to deal with,
On the whole, the record is one of
progress that is still much too slow.”

Saturday night in New York! Hos and suffocating, five stories up in the Y. W. C. A. I arrange my wardrobe, I would go down and mingle' in with the brown stream of humanity that bubbles over the wide, age-worn walks of Harlem. I know that all the "broods" will be about, the dandies and that heteronous mixture, the Spic of Life. I want to feel the pulse of Harlem, to listen to its heart-beat. What is that? O—o—o—oh! the sudden deatening roar, causing the noises of the streets t odwindle into insignificance. I would cover my head. Where can I hide from the penetrating flashes of light that strike dumb terror to my soul? From behind the threatening clouds, a mighty clapping is heard. Rain, rain in torrents this might in June, to me, a Californian, how strange! As quickly as it came, it is gone. Now a steaming heat, more intense than the orier air, closes up the air passages in the tiny room I occupy, driving me out on the streets that I might breathe.
Glum, dumb, vagant stares meet me on this side and that; there, the open brazen masher, the sly droopy-eyed trifter. Women, loosely gowned, sloppy-fat perched on the common stoop of the tenement or apartment house, their heavy, bleared eyes give one the impression that they are under narcotic influence. How different, I thought, from the main thoroughfares of busy, bustling, brown Chicago, this—the heart of Harlem. Just a continuous ebb and flow, a motley sea of brown. I look around thinking to see, always thinking of Chicago, brown faces in the numerous stores and shops which survive from their patronage. I am surprised at the lack of them. Contentedly these sons of toil pour into the coffers of foreign white men, the means by which they may climb and scoff them. My poor people, asleep even in this great cosmopolitan center.
I sicken of the atmosphere, even before I have been able to gather a fair impression, perhaps I long again for the stimulating, invigorating, inspiring spirit of Chicago. The blinking, blazing lights of the two large theatres on Seventh Avenue, owned by white men to gether in all the stray pence of arlem, make no appeal to me. My appetite grows palid, I would forget all in the arms of Morpheus.
I awaken with a start! The blatant tones of the saxaphone, the slicing trombone and deep booming of the drum heard above the other instruments, rouse me from my slumbers, I think at first, sleepily, that a bunch of hoodlums are sennading. But this is New York!
My mind reverberates. I pull on the light and note that it is only 12:00 o'clock. Seventh Avenue is loud with voices and music. I wonder if there is a parade or something. Sounds of whoopee in the making come up to my window. Gayety is in the very air, jazzed up to the 18 degree.
I feel as if I am missing New York, all the ultra-fashionable are out on parade. Harlem that lay as if in stupor at twilight becomes a brilliant, sparkling trembling thing at midnight. The spell of night is on her. New life enters her veins, invigorating her as red wine. She is alluring, captivating!

It was late one afternoon in November when Lyle Craig returned to his apartment. He was in a most exuberant mood that day as he had won his first criminal case in court, and at last believed he was achieving success.
Lyle Craig was a young man, not quite twenty-six years of age, tall of statue, and possessed of stately features and snake maniants. He wore his hair immaculately parted in the center, and with his handsome face assumed an air of dignity and self-confidence. He was experiencing his first year in the legal world, having completed his law career, the year previous in one of the leading Eastern Universities. He chose to begin his practice in Kent, one of the larger cities of New Jersey, believing this to be more desirable to his work. His days were at first hard and often without results. Up until recently he had always, more or less been responsible to his parents, and was thus utterly unaccustomed to the depressions and setbacks that he was now undergoing. He had often sat in sullen mood recounting his failure to get ahead, and his inability to make his accent in the social world.
But today had marked a change. For sometime he had been in conference with Stanley Sherwood, one of the most successful lawyers in the East. Mr. Sherwood had bared his story to Lyle concerning certain chandestine relations with a very attractive young married woman whom Lyle was now defending for the murder of her husband. Sherwood, being an old acquaintance of Craig's, earnestly implored him to keep his good name out of the case. For two months Lyle had been retained as counsel for Mrs. Joyce Churchill who was accused of having killed her husband. Mr. Churchill had suspected his wife as being quite intimate with Sherwood. One night, unwittingly, he returned home and surprised the two in a rather compromising position. To save Sherwood from disgrace and loss of reputation, Mrs. Churchill shot and instantly killed her husband. The case had been reviewed twice and due to Lyle's ingenuity and shrewdness, he succeeded in having her acquitted on the ground of lack of evidence. This accounted for his iovial mood for the time.
Upon entering his room he hastily discarded his clothes and put on his bathrobe. He then telephoned his friend and ex-college chum, Jerry Bardwell, and told him of his good fortune, and also made a dinner engagement with him for the evening.
The next day when Lyle returned to his office he was approached by Stanley Sherwood. Mr. Sherwood was a man of forty years and quite heavy in build. His complexion was dark, and his large eyes accentuated expression, giving the appearance of a man who could both see and observe simultaneously. Although his hair was slightly gray, he still looked to be somewhat of a younger man, but one thoroughly schooled in the struggles that Lyle was now undergoing in his profession.
ed as counsel by one Mr. Lawrence Burton, president of a brokerage corporation, whose company was involved in a litigation with another company of a like name.
Lyle was engaged to go over to Mr. Burton's residence the following day to run through some minor details regarding the case. While they were in the midst of their task their conference was broken off abruptly when Gwendolyn Burton came skipping into the room. She had just returned from an afternoon of tennis.
Gwendolyn had just recently finished the Lamont School, an exclusive college for colored girls in Boston, and was now enjoying a life of constant ease at her father's home. She had just reached twenty-two, and touched with all the charm and poignancy so common to one of her sex. She was tall, slendor in figure, and her vivaciousness and beauty combined could readily excite the admiration of all who united to do her honor. Having been motherless for several years, her father had taken it upon himself to rear her, and one could easily discern the coolness and propriety that his debonair daughter exhibited. Yet, she was without restraint and loved athletics, dancing and bridge, so her young life was one of continued action. At sight of her father she quickly ran and jumped upon his lap, and suddenly as though conscious that there was another, presence, Feadily pardoned her actions in her own naive way. This appeared to Lyle that a deep affection existed between the father and daughter.
Mr. Burton lost no time in introducing his daughter to the young lawyer, and Lyle somewhat abashed by her beauty was quick to regain his self-possession.
"I am indeed glad to form your acquaintance Miss Burton," prompted Lyle, for the first time in his life reeling somewhat uneasy before the opposite sex.
"Father has been telling me about your good work," continued Gwendolyn.
"I hope you continue."
Mr. Burton suddenly excused himself from their presence for a few moments, and left the two chatting. Upon his return he informed Lyle that their conference was concluded for the day, and that he could return the next day.
It was a bright, Spring day so Lyle chose to walk home instead of using the street-car. He had recently changed his address for more pretentious quarters at the Bachelors Club, thus the distance was not far. He felt quite gay; a happy smile blossoming over his face. Could it be that his meeting with this girl had affected him? He repeatedly pictured her in his mind—she had grace, charm, beauty; indeed she had intellect. Women had never been a serious factor in his life, but at sight of this young maiden his situation had promptly changed. He found himself longing to see more of her. He wondered if she had taken him in exactly the same manner as he had taken her, and he gradually drew himself to the conclusion that his was a case of Love at first sight.
The following day didn't come any too soon for Lyle Craig. He was at the Burton residence fully an hour before their schedule conference. He was admitted in by Gwendolyn's Aunt Hettie. She was governess to Gwendolyn and created a motherly interest over her. Upon Lyle's arrival she hastened to summon her niece, and then retired quickly from the room. Presently Gwendolyn came gliding lightly into the room and greeted Lyle with much ecstacy. She was clothed very prettily and appeared more beautiful to him than the day before.
"You are very prompt, Mr. Craig, father has not returned yet, but I know he won't be long," she explained, as quickly as she could.
"Yes, I see that I am, but I had minutes to spare so I came early. Are you going somewhere?"
"No, I am glad you have cmoe because I have just been dying to have someone to talk to," she spoke regarding him searchingly.
He smiled gaily as she repeated this and said:
"Why that is the reason I came so early," an dither both laughed joyfully.
"What do you wish to talk about? He asked smilingly, and then leaped a little toward her.
"Oh! Just anything! Maybe our minds are unusually well attuned." Gwendolyn returned promptly.
They talked about everything of interest. She about her past school days, and Lyle, all the time, regarding her searchingly.
"Very lovely," he thought to himself, and time and again he caught himself longing to crush her to him. This was a pleasing sensation to him and he secretly hoped that Mr. Burton's delay would be boons long.
"Do you love outdoor sports?" she
THE MUSICIAN
John Bales of "Downtown Song" fame, and Rake Dupuis, Ivory in "Ris Rita," which comes to Curtsey Circle on Thursday, November 21, following an Will Rogers engagement in "They Had to So Porris," "Ris Rita" is the greatest of all REO productions.
Carli Elinor, managing director of the Circle, declares that not since the Merry Widow has such a funnelful production as "Rio Rita" been produced in America. The original Florenz Ziegfeld production has been sound and color filmed in its entirety with such romantically beautiful amplification that even Ziegfeld declares it a hundred time superior to his sensational New York stage success. John Boles" of "Desert Song" fame, and Bebe Daniels are the principals in a cast consisting of a dozen other noted artists who can really sing, as well as 80 singing and dancing girls, 90 vocalists in choral and novelty presentations
Again! The Abnormal Vote Vantage of the South
Louella Parsons, noted dramatic critic, says of "Rio Rita": "What a gloriously beautiful and tuneful picture! Here is one of the very greatest spectacles the taking pictures have ever had. Bee Daniels, the singer and singa vinyly. John Bolzai is charming and his voice dramatic and golden in tone. You must see it again and again."
One song hit follows another in "Rio Rita" by the authors, Harry Tierney and Joe McCarthy, Tierney wrote the music for "Irene," "Kid Boots" and the world famous "Alice, Blue Gown."
The "Rio Rita" settings are admittedly the most magnificent ever made for a screen musical comedy, combining drama with beauty. On gowns alone nearly a million dollars was spent to appeal to femininity, and the sensual surprise with her glorious voice.
overwhelming and unprecedented majority, of the American people in the last presidential election. But these fifty-one senators actually represent a minority of the population of the United States, in spite of the fact that the coalition includes the whole south with some northern allies. This bloc which is dominating legislation represents a still smaller minority of voting citizens; and if we took out the two New York senators, who are included in this fifty-one, the forty-nine left could still control all legislation, even though they would represent still smaller minorities, with New York's million taken out.
Maybe the Republican machine and the "high tariff" crowd will begin to appreciate the Negro's charges against this same "rotten-borough" power which disfranchises and enslaves him. What it takes to awaken sympathetic understandings is community of interest. If these United States are really united, and if the people are to rule in them, then the constitution should be amended, apportioning to the states one senator for each one million people, but guaranteeing to each state at least one senator. That would make us have 120 to 125 senators, instead of 96, but we would be nearer to government by the people. At present a senator elected by less than 40,000 votes in disfranchising Alabama can mollify the vote of a senator elected by 800,000 votes in Illinois, or one commissioned by millions of votes in New York. When the Union was a loose confederation of petty states, that was logical and necessary; but since the Civil War wielded the country into one indispensable nation, that is illogical, and vicious.
New Orleans, La, Jan. 14—By A. N.P.; Arthur Weight was arrested on charges of murdering William White, 58 December 15. Wright was pointed out by William White, Jr., as the man who shot his father.
Negroes are always talking about what white people have done to them. Some white people have done and some are still doing some mighty wicked things to Negroes, but some other white people have done and some are still doing more for us than we have done or are now doing for ourselves. Let's see what they have done for us. They rescued our Music. Twenty years ago Negroes were ashamed of their own Music—Negro students in our greatest University leo a revolt against singing it. So-called Northern Negroes turned up their noses in scorn at it; white Americans loved it and rescued it for us. As a result, today, the world weeps when Roland Hayes pouns the soul of his race in its own wild, weird and plaintive songs.
Secondly, white Americans discovered and immortalized Booker, T. Washington for us; Negroes threw brickbats and rotten eggs at him. White Americans threw bouquets and greenbacks at him. Hao it been left to us, Tuskegee would be a little two by four school in the backwoods of Alabama, because we didn't want to learn how to work, and that's all we saw in the Tuskegee ideal. White people accepted the new gospil of industrial education as a thing of fundamental value in the life of the nation; we despised and tried to repudiate it.
Third, the genius and labor of Paul Lawrence Dunbar would have been lost had white Americans not put it between de luxe bindings and gave it a permanent place in the libraries of the world and above all, a warm place in men's hearts.
Fourthly, they opened every theatre in the world to Roland Hayes and wept with him as he carried his race through the "Deep River" up to Calvary to see the triumph of Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion.
White Americans saw Carter G. Woodson sitting helpless before the hidden achievements of his race longing to tell the world what the Negro has been doing in America during the past three hundred years. They gave him the money to write the history of the race to preserve its story of struggle and its record of achievement. They opened wide the door of science to George W. Carver and displayed his fifty-seven varieties to the world. They have established the going of hundreds of other Negroes of genius. These are spiritual contributions because they are the unstinted recognition of genius and the conversation and development of things that are of fundamental value in the life of the race and the nation.
Let its drop down out of the realm of the spiritual and list just a few of the contributions that white people have made to the meterial development of the Negro in America:
1. They have financed all of our large schools and are now endowing several of them.
2. Built all of Y. W. and Y. M. C. A's.
3. One City, Cleveland, Ohio, has given a Negro woman a million dollars for welfare work in that city.
4. White Americans have created all the foundations that we have to aid us in our upward climb.
A steady decline in percentage of voters participating in national elections in the south was noted. In many states there has been a positive numerical decline despite the extension of the ballot to women.
Tries to Take Gold From Woman's Teeth
Tarboro, N. G. Jan. 14—George Jenkis and Olivia Morgan were sweethearts and during those days he paid for some dental work, gold fillings, which was termed necessary. A few days ago the two lovers came to the pairing of ways and George decided that he wanted his gold fillings back.
To secure the gold he knotted his former sweetheart down and failed to extract the gold by force. "This fact, however, had done a good job and George was foiled. Not only was he foiled but he was haled before the court. The judge after hearing the unusual case acted as a peacemaker, and once more George and Olivia are sweethearts.

WITH CANDLYNNE SNOWDEN, Quincy of Jazz
BY: ART HAMILTON
We will just ramble this week and pick bits of fight news here and there to comment on.
Just picked te California voice up from Oakland, California, and was scanning over Byton (Speed) O'Reilly and his stuff and gee wheebhy he thinks that George Dixon the northern middleweight that created so much havoc among the white boys at little white back was given a raw deal in his last bout with Wes Ketchel the southpaw from up that way.
Ketchel put the lights out for George once in about a round, when Dixon was off his guard and was going at a pretty fast clip and took the hard hitting southpaw lightly. This was a rematch and Dixon was the favorite and according to reports beat the white boy with ease, but the third man in the ring got color blind and couldn't see anything but white at the end of the ten rounds.
Here's what Speed says, "The worst the coffee colored middleweight should have received was a draw. And even though he had a big edge, winning five of the 10 rounds, with two for Ketchel, being a colored battle, we figured he would get an even break. (If he had been white, there would have been no question) but Burns, to the astonishment of nearly the entire ringide, circles around Dixon at the final, to raise the fair had his hand amid the new that were drowned out by the "boo" chorus. One fan, who bet on Ketchel, said he gave his money up, thinking Burns had made a mistake. He did, says O'Reilly.
**BRUCE HOLDS TUT EVEN**
Bruce Flowers the New Rochelle lightweight got his big chance with King Tut one of the casts, leading lightweights and held him to a draw after a long hard fight. This Bruce kid can go some and fights them all.
BABY JOE DUE HOME SOON
Just happened to think about Baby
Joe Gans the counter punching artist
that calls Los Angeles his home
and who has not been home for over a year
or mighty close to it.
Baby Joe has been in the east fighting regularly and making lots of those from men. Gans fighters often and as always in shape. He had a little hard luck with his right paw, and was on the shelf for awhile, but now that fingers is K, O, dealing and the Babe is back among the boys.
Incidently no one less than Jack Dempsey, rated by many to be the best heavyweight ever produced now then or ever, rates Gans as the leading Junior Weiterweight in the country. DEMPSEY'S RATING OF
(By: A. N. Y.)
New Orleans, La., Jan. 13—Elijah Thompson who was stabbed by his sweetheart, Mattie Mitchell, is reported recovering. Thompson was stabbed in the abdomen and was taken to Charity Hospital. A few minutes after his arrival he deserted the institution against the wishes of the physician who pronounced the wound serious. The woman escaped.
BLACK BOYS
The former world's heavyweight champ has published his list of fighters and how they stance in his estimation and black boys head three divisions.
KID CHOCOLATE
OUTSTANDING
The outstanding black fighter now is Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Flash, who is running amuck in the best boxers in the world today, having yet to lose a battle to any man. The closest he ever came to losing was a draw and he came back and defeated the kid that had the nerve to hold the great Chocolate even.
This Kandy, Kid is truly a great fighter. No other fighter in the world today or any past boxer can boast of the record this kid from Cuba hold 106 fights and not one defeat listed. Dempsey or any one else that is the least hit broadminded and are picking men because of their ability and not because of their color know that Chocolate is the world's best and greatest fighter in the feather weight class. Other writers have listed the Kid second or some have picked him not at all. These men did not pick men because of their ability, they picked them because of the color of their skin and anything to keep that fair skin listed as the world's best.
AL BROWN BEST BANTAM
Al Brown the elongated bantam is the world's best bet in the 118 pound class according to Jack and not only does Dempsey reconize him as the best, but most of the States in the Union know and accord the kid the right which is his.
**BLACK BILL RATED**
Kid Chocolate's stabilemate Black Bill another one of the Cuban boys is rated as the best flyweight in the country and the boy is pretty good according to all eastern reports and he would not be rated so by Jack the Dempsey if he was not.
**PUZZLES**
But, have you noticed that no one black boy is rated among the first seven in the heavyweight class? Maybe that old black meance that has been following the white boys every where they go is about to let them be for a while. Who knows.
We have several good heavies but none at the present time that could be listed up there with the big unts.
Snow Sports at Camp Seeley
Toboggan Slide
Seesley Winter Sports
A fair sleigh-er
Camp Seesley Lodge
Recent heavy snowfall at Camp Seeley, the L. A. municipal playground in the San Bernardino mountains, has drawn thousands of Southern Californians to the camp so frctic amid wintry scenery. A great snow capipal will climax the season at Seeley next Saturday and Sunday.
With Camp Society, the Los Angeles municipal mountain playground, blanketed under more than a foot of snow as the result of recent storms, final preparations are this week being made for a huge Winter, Sports Carnival to be staged at the camp on Saturday and Sunday, January 18 and 19. This event, which will start the snow season in the mountains of Southern California, will be put on by the Playground and Recreation Department of the City of Los Angeles with the aid of the ten communities in the "West End Rim O' the World" district of the San Bernardino mountains. It will include thrilling ski-jumping, ice-skating, snow-shooting, and other exhibitions by noted stars of this and other sections of the nation. Stunt features, night campfire programs, old-fashioned dancing, and other entertainment will enliven the evening for the many people who will spend the weekend at the camp.
In addition to the series of exhibitions and contests which will provide interest to spectators during the carnival, tobogan slides ice-skating rink ski-courses, and other sports facilities will be open to the public the public also. Sports equipment will be for rent at the camp to accommodate the thousands who will trek to Sesley for a trolic in the snow. Camp Seley, for the carnival, has donned its best winter garment of snow and ice. Green pines and cedars are powdered with white, and huge drills of wright snow lie serene and untouched awaiting teh gay carnival crowds that will throng the municipal playground on Saturday and Sunday. The camp is located a mile high in the San Bernardino mountains, fifteen miles from San Bernardino and eighty miles from Los Angeles. It is reached by driving from San Bernardino up the "high gear" road through Waterman Canyon, from which highway several lateral roads of short length connect with the playground.
Chamber of Commerce in vo-operation with mountain recreation places of Southern California. The snow carnival on Saturday and Sunday is expected to result in many persons getting their first introduction to the ice and snow in Southern California. In order to make the city playground more attractive to the public, low rentals and charges for sports equipment and accommodations have been established. Rentals of tobogans, sleds, skis, snowshoes, ice-skates and other paraphernalia will be carried on a non-profit basis. Similar low rates for the use of sleeping cabins and housekeeping cottages have also been set. Overnight visitors to the camp during the carnival or on other week-ends will be able to make their own meals, or to buy them at the new camp calcteria.
San Bernardino
Fight News
Tht Gate City had no fights last
Thursday as usual, because the old,
weather man pulled a fast one on the
club and only $300 worth of business
showed up by fight time so the card
was called off.
The bout was supposed to have been
between Roy (Crab) Smith (never
heard of outside of San Berdoo) and
Bert Colima the Mexican favorite.
Old man weather was so very bad the manager just called everything off and told the fans to come back next week and a high class box fighting show would be on for their pleasure.
It was a case of too much left hand Tuesday night at the Olympic fights when Fidel La Barba the Stanford fighting man took Frank Churchill's Island boy down the lane for ten rounds straight. Left against right and the left won because it was educated. The right was always dangerous, but she did not come within an ace of winning Tuesday night.
PUMPS LEFTS TO BODY
Blake's boy started out pumping
lefts to the body and he sure was some
fast baby with that left paw of his.
He hit the Filipino three to one the
majority of the time.
Fernandez tried, hard and was for-
ever coming in for more, but he was
no match for the fast and clever
college boy. La Barba cut the island
boy to pieces and had him draped
over the ropes several times from those
hard hooking lefts. Once in a great
while the little Italian let the brown
boy have a hard right to the lux, but
not often. In fact he did not have to
use his right hand to any extent. He
could'and was beating Churchill's boy
to the punch with a lighting left.
TOUGH SEVENTH
The Island boy had a tough time of it in the seventh. It seemed as if La-Barba would drop him for the long count several times, but the game brown bry came back for more and more every time. No matter how many times that snaked左 beat him to the punch he was right in there every time for more and more forever trying to land that deadly right that put the sensational Al Singer down for the Long Toll. But Fidel was way too smart for that and he lefted and lefted and more lefts until he had his man left-hand crazy and then all at once let him have that right. That seventh was a tartar.
CHOCOLATE MUST BE GOOD
As we set there watching a master give a lesson in the art of boxing we couldn't help but think about the world's most sensational boxer in the ring today. Kid Chocolate, the Cuban flash that has yet to taste the bitter dragons of detest. The Kandy Kid caught Fidel La Barba in New York last year and beat him. And the way Fidel was shooting Tuesday night he locked like a champ and was fast as lightning. Just couldn't help but think that this Chocolate must be a world's wonder. La Barba as good a man in the division as he was then and is now couldn't do a thing with the greet Bon Bon kid, now you know that that Chocolate is some fighter and no less.
The way La Barba looked the other night, means it is going to take a mighty hard man to stay ten rounds with him and then get his duke raised.
..... SAMMY JACKSON WINS .....
Summy Jackson the Beach kid from down Seata Monica way is going great gums still and getting better than the post. Sam is some little weightweight and will soon be rating a rating somewhere else, and that also will be in the East, where the real change is. Take it, Sammy.
The colored boy went to the post and took Paul Delaney the hard hitting welter that gave him some trouble last time and took him with ease this time. The first two rounds were about on an even basis and after then it was a simple thing for Sammy to out-box and out-sug the white boy. PUNAY'S EXPERIENCE WINS
Rito Punny knew too much for Lecky Gonzalez and let him have the sleeping powders in the fourth room for good. This was the special.
Mosby's Music House
Bert Colima Comes Back Next Week After Six Months
Bert Colima the Whittier Mexican comes back to the Olympic next Tuesday night in a main event against one of his countrymen, Joe Peregrina. This is a middleweight natural, if there ever was one.
Old Bert has not shown in the Angel city for over six months. He was suspended for fouling Everett. Strong at Hollywood and the boxing commission thought that our friend Bert had been committing the fooling business just a little too much and they set Bert had to to leave the country to get work. Since the headmen of the boxing game in California set the Mexican back he has been into his own country, Mexico, to get battles. He played around up north for a long time, but there was no money up there and he didn't stay long.
SHOULD BE GOOD FIGHT
This pending battle between Bert and Jose should be a very good fight.
Club on Seventh Avenue late Saturday evening. The squadron under the direction of M. R. Livingston of Washington, swooped down on the club during the evening's gaiety. Liquor was flowing freely over the bar and forty couples, white and colored, were dancing when the investigators including Agents Louis Kelly and Ray Connelley, entered with drawn reinovers. Patrons, waiters and proprietors of the club were lined up against the wall and searched. All were released except the three officers of the club from whom the Federal agents testified they had mace purchases of dope across the thriving bar. The three officers of the club, taken to Federal Building as the raids continued were Louis Black and his brother, Frank Black, and Frank Porco, president, vice-president, and treasurer, respectively. According to Livingston, purchases of narcotics had been made from Louis Black as well as across
Both are colorful fighters and their countrymen lock out to see them by the hundred. Peregrina holds away at Carlo Curtis Main Street Boxing Areas, while Colima draws the brown skinned folks into the big house on Grand.
Jose has been in in the Olympic before but has always failed to deliver the goods, so therefore he had to go back to the sticks for more training. His manager thinks he is ripe for the big test now and is showing him in against one or the most popular men that ever fought at the Olympic.
MATCHED AT SAN BEE
NARDING
Colima was matched at San Berdoy with Roy (Crab) Smith a couple of weeks back, but the rain spoiled the show and they had to call it off until a later date.
ARMAND SANTIAGO OMING
Armeno Santiago the hard hitting Cuban of the Frank Churchill entourage is due to come West to do battle with Hilly Townsend the blond north-west ruthenic Wildcat Carter's house of becoming a big sheer abouts. Carter had planned to move down from Seattle after his fight with Goldie Hess, but Billy took that idea out of his head by dropping him so many times in the first round this writer lost track of them.
U. S. District Attorney Charles Tuttle, prominently mentioned as the next candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket, took charge of the questioning of the men late Saturday opening.
The suspected members of the Gope candidate were horded into separate office days "criminal alley." None was permitted to communicate with the outside and so spread warnings of the raids.
More importance is attached to these raids than any held recently. It is believed that this dope ring flourishes in Harlem and the clues which led to the Harlem raid are carefully concealed with the exception of the revelation that the leakage came through the files of Arnold Rothstein and on tips secured from the personal diary of the late Jeanne Eagles last summer.
