1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 - ON THE SIDEWALK - By C. A. B. WASHINGTON AND DUNN 'are members of Police, Fire, EMS, On last Tuesday A. M. when officers Washington and Dunn indicted with Officer Sheffield, but dismissed by the same jury that convicted Sheffield, appeared before the Board of Police Commission for reinstatement, they were told that as "Association begets assimilation" in other words, the fact that they had been thrown with Sheffield in discharging their duties as officers, caused some of the commissioners to feel that they were of necessity a part of Sheffield's bribe collecting program; according to charges brought against this one time star officer of the police force. We certainly are against crookedness within and without the police ranks, but these young officers, Washington and Dunn, it occurs to us, are pitiful victims of a system of instituted vice by higher-ups in the police department, and it is a sad commentation on justice for them to be ruthlessly thrown out when others cited on similar charges—some of more serious nature—have been reinstated. One commissioner said that he could not help but believe that Officers Dunn and Washington were acquainted with the unlawful acts of Sheffield. In answer to this, we are wondering if it is a part of the instruction given to officers upon their advent into the police department to keep an eye on fellow officers and from time to time report any acts or deeds whatsoever they may see that might be construed derelict of duty. In conclusion, Honorable' Board of Police Commission, why not reprimand these boys and give them a break with the understanding that they themselves must aschew evil in the discharge of their duties as officers of the law, but do everything within their power to clean up the Record of our fair City of Angels. It seems that the gods favor some while others toil into the night for the betterment of social and economic conditions. Some years ago when Los Angeles was taking no thought of new arrivals, especially those classified as "colored," a woman whose position as a trained nurse among her own people, had awakened her sympathies and sharpened her intellect as to their needs, started a work that was destined to grow and become an important factor in the social and economic welfare of the Negro. It was at the time when her life was in full bloom, when she set herself to the task of accomplishing that which she considered a part of her program of progress. The individual of whom we speak is none other than Mrs. Katherine Barr, who by her own initiative and single handed effort started the Los Angeles Urban League. The work as far as the general public was concerned, was so insignificant in its beginning that few people knew of its existence; but now that it has reached such proportions in the industrial personnel of Los Angeles, it has come to us that there is some argument to the effect it has outgrown its female founder. It has been more than a year since we have had time to shake hands with Mrs. Barr, but here in our niche, which we too created for ourselves, we reach across the years and clasp the hand of our sister in the work with these words, "If you were capable of creating, truly you must be competent to hold on." We are grieved to learn of the illness of our little contemporary, Mrs. Fay Jackson Robinson, co-editor with James McGregor on "Flash." It is our hope that Mrs. Robinson will soon be restored to complete health, and that perfect love shall so strengthen her physical structure to the end that she shall reach her goal in her literary ambition. Here is a door that is wide open bidding all who will enter. It is our fond hope that some young colored American will strive to take first place in this contest, the rules for which we are publishing herewith for your perusal: Mrs. Gertrude Ross, chairman of th Composition Prize Contest, has not announced the names of the judges, but has made the statement outstanding or orchestral conductors will be responsible for the selection of the prize composition The Hollywood Bowl Association has awarded the following rules for submission of compositions in the contest. 1. The composition is to be a SYMPHONIC POEM written for performance by a full symphony orchestra, requiring not more than 20 minutes for performance. 2. The competition is open for international competition. There is no restrictions as to the nationality of the THE ECONOMIC LIFE OF THE NEGRO RACE A COLLAPSING SHELL Quick Verdicts Free Convict NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 18—It required just five minutes for a jury in Federal Court to accept the word of Charles G. Arnett, accused of operating a speakeasy at 326 North Villere Street, against the combined testimony of four prohibition agents. The jury, after its grief deliberation, found Arnett not guilty. Arnett pleaded not guilty to the charge, but had no witnesses other than himself, and did not have a lawyer. The dry agents testified they had arrested him in the place. "I'm not the man, judge, your honor," said Arnett. "I used to go in there sometimes an deat, but I just ain't the man who that place." The jury took his word for it. Arnett has spent the last three months in jail pending trial of his case. Colored People Claim Victory in Fight for Six Millions Colored People Claim Victory in Fight for Six Millions (Bv A. N. P.) Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 18.—Word has been received by Mrs. Mary Harris Wallace, 2928 Jarboe St., this city, that she has won a fortune of six and one-half million dollars as her share of a ten-year legal battle with the Texas Oil Company in the courts of Tulsa, Okla. Mrs. Wallace learned of her wealth she says, in a long distance telephone conversation with her lawyers in Tulsa. The total amount won from the oil company was thirteen millions of dollars, but by contract, one-half of the sum went to the law firm which handled the case through the long fight. FROM 200-ACRE FARM The wealth comes directly from a 200-acre farm just north of Tulsa, which was left to Mrs. Wallace by her grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Brown, who was three-fourths Indian. According to Mrs. Wallace, the Texas company has been drilling on the farm for the past nineteen years and in that time has disputed her title and paid no royalties. The sum which she receives now is what the court judged she should have been entitled to over all the years. Oil is still being pumped from wells on the land, and Mrs. Wallace left Friday for Tulsa to take over title to her farm, arrange payments of royalties and clear up the little business of six and one-half millions. IN HAULING BUSINESS Mr. and Mrs. Wallace have lived in Kansas City since 1919. She was born in Scooba, Mississippi, and lived a while in Okkhome before coming to Kansas City. Mr. Wallace has a truck with which he carries on a hauling business. What will they do after they make their business trip to Tulsa and actually get hold of the six and one-half millions? Well, when you ask them that, neither Mr. or Mrs. Wallace has much to say. One thing is certain: they are a cautious couple and no "splattering" will be in order yet. They talked a bit about investing their wealth in good securities and a parcel or so of real estate. They know one needs lawyers, bankers, and trust companies. They've seen three other oil millionaires throw away fortunes, and they are going to try to avoid their mistakes. In an hour's conversation they never mentioned an automobile although they probably will get one or more later. Just now they want to be let alone, they want people to take their telephone. They want a chance to get used to six and a half million dollars. On last Friday evening at the home of Sororis Marte and Helen Jackson of Market street was one of the most unique Valentine parties given by Rho Chapter, honoring the new girl MY MENTIS CARRERE The Negro race now stands at the junction of racial advancement and racial collapse. Whether the race shall select the single path that leads to racial advancement, or whether it shall select the broad avenue that leads to racial collapse, depends upon the leadership that the masses choose and follow. If the race accepts and follows a leadership that will cause the people to build and own a part of the machinery of distribution, they at once choose the path to racial advancement. But if Negroes select and follow a leadership bent on solving our one big problem, economic weakness and its attendant social and civic ills, by begging the dominant race for jobs, establishing inter-racial conferences, asking and receiving charity for educational, religious, and social purposes, they have selected, and are already on the broad avenue of racial collapse. The American Negro is up against a definite proposition of choosing either to live by a wise distributive control of what he eats, wears, and lives in or permit himself to be crushed by better organized and other powerful forces. To combat destructive forces from without power must be generated from within the race and radiate outward and onward as it gains in momentum. As a race we have no other source for this power except to institute and develop co-operative business. We must purchase our necessities end our purchasing depends upon a steady income from steady employment. For a guarantee of steady employment the race has none, because it does not control factories and finance. If employment and income will be assured for us in the future the Negro race must become mutually dependent with the dominant race in commerce. The only way we can begin to accomplish this is by instituting a distributive control system that will cause the profits of our consumption to be retained within the race. On sixteen articles or consumption the Negro race in Los Angeles spends $44,300,000.00 annually. The gross profits on this expenditure is approximately, $11,075,000.00. If this profit were retained within the race many jobs would be created for our young men and women whom we are training, finishing employment for whites in the same proportion that we would furnish ourselves if we had foresight enough to capture our own trade. Let us take a toy balloon, the tube without first introducing air into it and you have a collapsed bag. The very absence of air or gas within the balloon causes the bag to collapse without resistance. Take a race of citizens, educate it in the arts, sciences, and mass-dependent professions. Then establish and develop an organized system for gathering funds for the purpose of forcing the constitutional rights of that race, yet pay no attention to the economic development of the masses, and you have a human condition that will be crushed by outside forces without resistance. With the absence of economic development within the race it is weak and practically empty and will collapse with economic pressure from other races. Economically the Negro race is now a collapsing shell and this (Turn to Page Five, Please) Teach 100,000 Adults to Read And Write BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 18—More than 100,000 Louisiana white and colored adults will have been taught to read and write in the state's illiteracy campaign by April 1, according to Dr. M. S. Robertson, assistant in the elementary school division of the state department of education, who is in charge of the campaign in the state.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 IN HAULING BUSINESS Refuses License For Inter-Marriage SAYS THAT WHITE WOMAN MUST HAVE UNSOUND MIND (By A. N. P.) Spokane, Wash., Feb. 17—Miss Cecil Robinson, a white girl, and Antonio Bigge were denied a marriage license at the office of the Spokane County Auditor. Although there is no law in Washington forbidding such a marriage, Acting County Auditor, Frank Glover, said the county auditor "has the right to ascertain whether the mentality of applicants for marriage licenses is sound, and I can but question the acts of a white woman that will marry a Negro." Biggs said it was an "ourage" and that he would be married in another city. Society Couple. in Divorce Court Martha L.

Hold White Boys Under Heavy Bond for Killing Colored Grocer (By A. N. P.) Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 18.—The three white boys arraigned in Middle-sex Superior Court, Monday, charged with the murder of Joseph Fendall, a colored grocer, January 2, were held in hall of $60,000 each. They are Earl R. Baker, George A. Leet, and Paul Smith. They pleaded not guilty to all indictments. The indictments charged Baker with two assaults with intent to kill, and breaking and entering in Malden, and two robberies while armed in Medford; Leet with carrying a revolver, breaking and entering and three armed robberies in Malden and two armed robberies in Medford, and Smith with armed robberies in Medford and breaking and entering in Melrose. This One Convicted In Four Minutes BALTIMORE, Md. Feb. 18—it took a jury incriminal court here Tuesday only four minutes to agree on a verdict of guilt of murder in the first degree, without commentation for mercy after the trial of Lorenzo Price for the killing of Reuben Heyman, white, on January 2. The verdict carries the death penalty. Price was accused of the murder of Heyman and assault on his companion, Dorothy Burgess, white, after he had forced them to drive to a lonely place in the country. An effort was made by the defense during the three-day trial to show that Price and the white girl were sweethearts and that Heyman had sought to break up their friendship, but his consideration had no apparent effect on the jury. The lawyers for Price claimed that he and Miss Burgess had met at an inter-racial dance and had been keeping company since The return of the quick verdict, however, indicated that colored men with white sweethearts in this city run the same risks, if their sweetheart is caught in a compromising position, as they do in cities farther south. If the two are not caught, their relation is described as clandestine love. If they are caught, the man is charged with attacking a white woman. Two days were given defense attorneys to file motions for an appeal. Politics In Church "To Be or Not to Be." That is the question. Should modern politics have a place in the church?

The speakers are Miss Louise Balthazer, Mr. Theodore Johnson, affirmative; Mr. Clayton Russell, Mr. Earl Smith, negative. Doctor Samuel Cotterell, Dr. Hopson and Benjamin Colly, pharmacist, well known in the professional and business circles of Los Angeles, appeared in Municipal Court for arraignment on charges of having wrongfully given Ansel Bartlett prescriptions containing narcotics. All parties denied any wrong-doing, either by intention or fact, and it would appear that Bartlett, at least during a portion of the alleged transactions in which he is said to have obtained narcotics, was in the employ of the Narcotic Division of the Police Department, Central Division at 1st and Hill streets. Doctors Cotterell and Hopson and Mr. Colly are preparing a vigorous defense to the charges when the same are brought before the trial court. Attorneys Tyler, Thompson and Dixon are representing the defendants. Wanted on Charge of Murder; Acquitted on Assault Charge (By A. N. P.) Boston, Mass., Feb. 18.—George Thomas, Philadelphia, now wanted in that city, according to the authorities, on a charge of murder, was acquitted by a jury in Middlesex Criminal Court last Monday of a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, January 19 at Everett upon one Henry Williams. Thomas was then held without bail for the Philadelphia authorities. ATTY. WILLIAM M. AUSTIN DIES ATTY. WILLIAM M. AUSTIN DIES Attorney W. M. Austin, associated for the pest ten years in the practice of law, with Attorney Willis O. Tyler, died at the General Hospital, Tuesday afternoon at 3P. M., of a complication of diseases. Attorney Austin took sick about the 1st of January, and was unable to withstand the ravages that his inflictions imposed upon him. On Friday, the 14th, he became unconscious, and sank rapidly to the end. Attorney Austin was born in St. Lucy, Barbados, British West Indies, and so far as is known, had no relatives in the United States. He graduated from the University of Washington, Law School, in 1902, and for a while, was a buffet porter on the Southern Pacific Railroad. At one time, he was head waiter at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. In 1921 he became associated in the practice or law with Attorney Tyler, which he followed with great patience and care until his death. Mr. Austin was of a retiring, unassuming nature; a man of clean life, and warm heart, and had a host of friends both in the profession and generally, not only in Los Angeles, but along the Pacific Coast. Interment will be at Angelus Funeral Home, on the 22nd of February, at 1 P. M. 38. was sentenced to life imprisonment Tuesday after he had been found guilty of attack on a white girl January 2. Before passing sentence, Judge William N. Gemmill expressed regret that the law did not permit a death sentence for the crime. Gaines pleaded guilty. Wichita, Kansas, Feb. 15—With nothing but a quick eye and two good fists, Frank Young, doorman for 17 years at the Miller Theatre in this city, subdued two white bandits last Tuesday who sought to hold-up the executive offices and the cashier of the house. The bandits had entered the upstairs offices and were proceeding with their work when Young entered, ignorant of what was happening. One of the bandits commanded him to get on his knees, pointing a pistol at him at the same time. Young obeyed. Later, he and the other attendants in the office were marched out, and stood up in front of the show window of a department store. One bandit held his gun in his pocket, aimed at Young and the others. When Young persisted in looking around, the bandit spoke to him sharply and commanded him to keep his eyes on the show window. Young felt that the man was going to shoot him and took a desperate chance. He swung with his right fist to the point of the bandit's chin and grasped his pistol with his left hand. The thug was knocked out and Young picked him up and carried him to a traffic policeman on the corner. Young then hurried back to the theater just in time to observe the other bandit demanding money from the cashier. He leaped on him from behind and grappled with him until he was able to szeize his pistol and then, with the gun taken from the first bandit, struck the second one unconscious. The hero doorman has not only been rewarded by the theater owners, but the Wichita Eagle, a daily paper, has begun raising a fund from among its readers to show their appreciation for his act. The appeal for funds is made with the statement that "the response should be as unselfish as the act which prompts-it." Move To Establish Community Hospital Lauded by Noted Eastern Physicians DR. S. W. SMITH OF CHICAGO AND DR. PETER M. MURRAY OF NEW YORK PRAISE COMMUNI- TY MOVE EXCELLENT AND WORTHY STEP Dr. S. W. Smith of Chicago, secretary of the Hospital Board of the National Medical Association says in part in a letter to Dr. Chas. S. Diggs, "I am very glad to read in the papers of your plan to establish a Community Hospital in Los Angeles. Such a step is an excellent and worthy one." NEGRO MUST HAVE OPPORTUN- ITY TO HELP HIMSELF Dr. Peter M. Murray of New York in commenting on the virtues of the Community Hospital says: "The Community Hospital move is a fine step. The Negro cannot be helped entirely from the outside. If he is to progress he must have an opportunity to help himself. For one thing such a plan gives the Negro Physician much needed-training in hospital work. For another it gives the patient greater confidence. For still another it does away with the idea of racial segregation which the enlightened leaders or both races agree is inimical to Negro Progress. A thing that few persons realize is that at present there is not a well equipped hospital in the city to which a colored patient may go and be attended by his colored physician. DONATION CAMPAIGN ENDS MARCH 15TH Such letters as these show that the eyes of our people all over the United States are upon Los Angeles in this effort and stirs the Captains working in the $5,000 Donation Campaign of the Community Hospital Association to greater effort. The campaign ends March 15th. Let no Captain overlook this act. Let Los Angeles have effort to establish church apart in this wonderful work. Let each one work, work, work. The end is worth in this effort. monstrated in his willingness to satisfy the desires of his listeners. At the end of the third group the applause was so sustained that he had to encore with "Plenty of Good Room" a spiritual. His last group, exclusively spirituals, also called for two more encores before the crowd was willing to signify their intentions to disperse. Mr. Hayes brought to his audience gems from Shubert, Handel, Purcell, Rachmaninov and others as well as the Negro spirituals which he interprets with such emotional sincerity and intensity. The inner beauty, the pathos of his offerings completely enraptured his audience and "the lines of color seemed to vanish as both white and Negro admirers of this unostentatious figure attempted to shower him with their appreciative remarks." A REFLECTION BY JAMES & HARRIS, Jr. As we sit in profound silence and observe activities of injustices exhibited and manifested all around us we are forced to advance the doctrine of Confucius, who, although he has passed, has perpetuated himself in the souls of mankind. "Evaded justice will ultimately overshadow wrong doings." Another philosopher has also wisely said, "The law of right can never be thwarted long; for there is no virtue so truly great and god-like as justice." It appears that from the beginning of the ages, according to historians, man has been confronted with the problem of equality before the law. The principle of Justice has proven to be the string upon which the pearls of history are strung. Theologians advance the same premises. Now, Americans, the renaissance and reformation periods marked new eras and created new epochs. How will twentieth century Americans deal with this problem under our Constitution? Will they stamp indelibly the ideals and principles of Justice on the wings of time and let it rise and kiss the sun in the essence of the morning light? Or will they sit supinely by and ignore these principles for which their forefathers fought? Is the task too arduous? We know our Constitution does not subscribe to segregation or inequality of any type or in any form, for it is the greatest single document ever stricken off by human or mortal hand. Americans can think, write, and consult, but can they or will they act? pate annually. Last year, young athletes developed on the local playfields won first and second place in the senior division and second place in the junior division in the national final meet at Atlantic City, and other playground youths will try to retain these honors for 1930. Although the winning of these honors demonstrates the excellence of local youth in athletics, playground officials state that their aim is to concentrate on the activities for the mass of boys rather than for the few.

Feb. 18—Charles Guerand, emergency supernumerary patrolman, attached to the Tenth Precinct, was booked in that station Monday night on a charge of murder following the death in Charity Hospital at 11 o'clock of Hattie McCary, 14-year-old girl. Guerand, booked early Monday night with shooting and dangerously wounding, was ordered dismissed from the police department by Superintendent of police, Theodore A. Ray when information of the shooting late Monday afternoon reached police headquarters. The girl, who lived at 3228 Gravier Street died after suffering for several hours from a bullet wound of the right temple and another in the abdomen. According to Corpal William Milton of the Tenth Precinct and Assistant District Attorneys Michael E. Culligan and Albert B. Graniz, Guerand, off-duty and in civilian clothes went to the restaurant of Matt Apiscun at 3037 Tulane Avenue, where the girl worked. Guerand is regularly assigned to track duty at Tulane Avenue and Salcedo Streets, Corpal Milton said. Going into the rear of the place, police allege that the patrolman made advances to the girl and an argument ensued. According to Assistant District Attorneys Culligan and Cranzin, to whom Guerand made a verbal statement, the girl reached for a knife, threatening to kill him. He is then alleged to have pulled his revolver, and fired at the girl, two shots taking effect. An ambulance was summoned and the girl taken to the hospital. Corpal Milton arrived and placed Guerand under arrest. Guerand is said to have told Sergeant Joseph Cassard, special to the superintendent of police, that he had been drinking steadily. Guerand is 29 years old.

And what did she do that for? That just brought on more applause and more of the same. It was imperative that she do another number and she obliked this time with "Do Something," in a most pleasing manner. CHARLEY OLDEN DOES BIT Charley Olden the little short man of the world famous Lafayette players was there at a ringside seat and you all know that Charley rivals that high-hatted king of jazz Ted Lewis, when it comes to singing blues right and left. Miss Ruth Givens, formerly of the Lincoln chorus was there looking prettier than ever. Man alive she is one wonderful piece of brown-skin beauty. "At the End of the Road" was her selection and she improves with age, that is as far as beauty is concerned.

Manager Kush of the Gayety Theatre announced today that he had concluded negotiations with RCA Photophone, Inc. New York City, for the installation of its sound, reproducing equipment in his theatre. In making the announcement Manager Kush said that the equipment would be shipped from New York immediately and that installation engineers would arrive within a short time. "It is with a great deal of satisfaction that I make this announcement," said Manager Kush. "Having had many opportunities to see various types of sound reproducing equipment in operation in various theatres, it did not take me long to come to a decision when I saw and heard the RCA Photophone projection apparatus in operation. In my opinion, having made comparisons with other sound reproducing equipment, it is the best. The invasion of sound into the motion picture industry presented a great problem to the exhibitor and particularly to the small town theatre owner. Coming as if did, almost over night, there immediately followed a wide variety of so-called sound projection apparatus, and while many exhibitors in the effort to meet the competition, installed models of the first equipment they could acquire, I made up my mind to await developments. up my mind to await developments. "Dependent solely upon those who have so liberally patronized my theatre in the past, I felt obligated to give them the best sound reproducing equipment available. Therefore, I investigated a number of theatres where various types of sound projection apparatus had been installed and not only heard the sound delivered by them but carefully inspected the machines in the projection rooms. "When I learned that RCA Photophone, Inc., was a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America and that its own engineers, along with engineers of the General Electric Company and the Weatinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, had built the sound equipment, I became convinced that it was the apparatus for my theatre. Having satisfied myself on this point, which, in passing, was the most difficult problem I ever had to solve, I hope the patrons of the Gayety theatre, and in fact everybody in this community, will endorse my judgment."

Of course for this attention, we are sure there is a reason. It seems at this distance from the August primaries there will be a deal of activities for almost every office in the state, incumbents are challenged at every turn. Here's hoping the best men and women may win. James Alexander, pioneer, resident, former Federal office holder, informs this writer he will be a candidate for the assembly against the incumbent, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts. We also learn from other sources Big Jim has just sold his Eagle Rock holdings for some 30 grands which will provide him with the sinews of war for a real campaign. things hum in that bailiwick. Senator McKinley and Senator Chas. W. Lyons will be the runners up in the race for the lone Senator from Los Angeles County in the August pri- maries. Judge Carlos Hardy is a prime favorite for a strong support from the plain every day common people. This situation exists because of the fact that his life and service have been a With the entry list filling rapidly, all is rapidly rounding into shape for the second annual Tennis meet which has become an important feature event with the local race public. For aside from the increased interest in healthful outdoor sports which it encourages it reveals to other races the interest in self-improvement prevailing among modern progressive Negroes as to physical, mental, and economic welfare. Miss Otis (Baby) Wiggins, talented, athletic Jeff High School student has charge of one list or entries. The names of the contestants for the prize trophies signed up by her are as follows: PARTIAL ENTRY LIST Miss Ollie Mae Collins Miss Leona Norwood Miss Catherine Edwards Miss Peppy Prince Miss Christabel Hunt Miss Velma Harold Willie Starks Emmet Ashford Josephine Brown N AT THE CALIFORNIA NISS OTIS WIGGINS, HUml practicle demonstration of sincere interest in their welfare. E. L. Chew, well known political worker and high-class citizen, is up and about shaking hands with friends having recovered from injuries received in an automobile accident some weeks ago. The women voters have made a bow in setting the stage for political activi- OLN tv. The men are coming forth now and declare they will in turn take up the slack in a great get together movement. It is reported that John Taylor, noted San Francisco politician, has been appointed as one of the deputy barber inspectors, another jesture from the present state administration for the support of the colored voters, so they say.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One Year $2.00 Six Months $1.25 Three Months $.75 Per Copy $.05 I met last Monday the only Negro employee connected with the Goodrich Tire Plant, which manufactures the paying monthly in wages over 250 thousand dollars. He was chauffeur for the president at a salary less than $200 per month. Anc just to think of that! Our folks, believe it or not, alone, pay by purchasing Goodrich Tires throughout the nation, enough money to pay the wages of these 1500 workers. In the Goodyear plant, out on Central avenue, which employs approximately the same number, the company has as yet to employ the first Negro, though thousands have made application. There are some one or two concerns that employ a heavy percentage of our group and the product they turn out is the equal of the product of those that boycott you. We will, ere long, furnish you with their names that you may at least, if you have race pride and believe in the American Negro being given a chance in preference to the foreigner, patronize them. We learn that the dining room of the Dunbar is to again open its doors. This time as a dine and dance night club. Really it looks like it's hurting the heart and soul of certain folks to see Curtis Mosby deliver the goods in a business way. It's allright for white folks to get rich off the Negro spendthrift, but all wrong for a smart Negro to make a dime off the offspring of his former master. No sirce, and the Lincoln Coopartition of Hermerica isn't going to stand for it, said the one-legged man with two eyes who patrols information beat. Harry Levette whose national reputation as a publicity artist is so well known is, we notice, again feeding the reading public with interesting news items in the Eagle. P. S.: London papers, please copy. The political fruit tree is about ready to bear fruit and folks are gathering round preparatory to picking up some juicy plums as soon as the tree is shaken by those seeking office. Owing to the fact that we cannot be depended upon to vote we will simply have to content ourselves with the plum-seeds while the other fellow gets the meat. We have in our midst a business Negro who is capable of taking nothing and making something out of it. This he has proven more than once and he is no less a person than H. A. Reeves. We believe he is one Negro capable of teaching few many fine points in the way of business financing. We didn't know that there were so many grass widows in L. A. until a certain individual brought a very sick newspaper here from San Diego preparatory to burying same. The widows we understand are busying themselves collecting sick benefits in the form of subscriptions. At last those interested in the financial success of the Masonic Hall at 12th and Central, have woke up to the fact that their tenants were due at least a clean, comfortable meeting place and so they have caused same to be thoroughly renovated. We understand that in addition to putting down hardwood floors that 18 cases of soap, 4 dozen cans of dutch cleaner, 15 gallons of coal oil, 20 gallons of paint and many other things necessary to acquiring a healthy place were used. Well, anyway, from appearances so pains were spared. It looks like the dear Reverend that was sent here to preach the gospel and started out preaching separate schools has really stirred up something that may eventually cause him to make his exit. We wonder what presupposition he'd prescribe for the hungry sufferer that sought to enter heaven through the portals of his church? ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Would he accept or turn down his application to join because he was white? "I would." Last Monday night, we noticed some 16 ugly men and handsome women in attendance at the monthly business meeting of the Eagle. All were connected in one way or the other with this progressive paper and much was accomplished in strengthening the well established fact that it is the best, and biggest newspaper we have. The spotlight was focused on Madam Bass who fired the meeting with soul burning enthusiasm. We learn from reliable sources that that there were so many Teas held last Sunday at various homes, for various causes by various clubs and individuals that there is a shortage of Lipton's products this week. We hope each succeeded in raising enough to at least pay the Tea bill. Getting out of a barber shop chair after having had the surplus growth somewhat amputated by the barber who charges fifty cents for a dime job, our ears heard one called gentleman employed by the city express the following wishes regarding one of his fellow brothers, also employed by the city. Says he, "Now listen, as for dat saphead, dares only one thing I craves and wishes and dat is that the Supt, of the Santa Fe would let me hook a ring in his nose, fasten it to a stout chain, which in turn would be fastened to de rear end of the observation car of the Santa Fe limited bound for Chicago, nine hours late, with instructions to make up de time between Los Angeles and San Bernardino and give me de pleasure of occupying the engineer's cab with my hand handling dat throttle dats all I wish. One thing sutten, I sure would carry out instructions. The Eagle Eye (By JAMES S. HARRIS, Jr.) Maceo B. Sheffield was denied a new trial, on Tuesday, Feb. 18th before Superior Judge Emett Wilson in Department 21, off two counts of bribery, for which he previously had been convicted by a jury of 7 men and 5 women after deliberating 24 hours. He was sentenced to from 1 to 14 years in San Quentin on each count; sentences to run concurrently. A stay of execution, pending an appeal, was granted, however, by Judge Wilson on the motion of defense attorney, Thos. P. White. James W. Tylor (white) whose preliminary hearing was held in Div. 1, Municipal Court, Judge Raymond I. Turney, presiding, on Tuesday, Feb. 18 on charges of manslaughter as an outgrowth of the running over and killing of Walter Hawkins, colored school boy, on Feb. 6, was bound over to Superior Court. Detective Lieutenants Robert F. Green and Homer Garlick, of Newton Division handled the investigation. Det. Lieutenants Olivas and Kunz of Newton Detective Bureau, apprehended a desperate criminal on last Tuesday in the person of Elbert Castro. Elbert is considered the world's youngest thief. He is 9 years old and ran away from his parents who live at 710 W. First street in this city, about two weeks ago. He has been a ward of the juvenile court before on similar charges of stealing, but was released to his parents on good behavior. Olivas and Kunz are placing in the juvenile again this time to stay until he has been trained properly. The charge this time is stealing two lawn mowers. Elbert has developed quite a vocabulary for his descriptive adjectives are very vivid and highly complimentary. Detective Olivas has recommended soap. Ruby Tucker, 630 1-2 E. 35th Place was arrested Tuesday by Sargeant Adam and his squad from Newton vice. The officers reported the finding of twenty-one quarts of beer, two pints of liquor and another half gallon jug nearly full of liquor at the above address. The officers had a warrant. Central Avenue and Vermont Avenue both show an economic need of pawn shop. Here is a good field for the right kind of an energetic young man. The braggadocio super intelligent complex can never get you anywhere brother, unless, you can deliver. If what you do here is as you have elsewhere, "you are a bust right off the reel." Hot air will not get them. Take this from me, dumb as you by your estimate take us to be out here on these Western shores, we are too wise to fall for carpet-bag, self eulogized bunko men or any other sort. This goes for mushroom or any other holier than thou national character as a failure in running newspapers.

WELTERS AT CARLO'S HOUSE OF ACTION" Selected from a long list of battlers who stand race to toe and sing, Carlo Curtis has Leo Hernandes, Mexican matador and Jack Shager in the Main event of his Saturday night card. Hernandes has already built up quite a following among his countrymen and will show them plenty of stuff against the American opponent. Good bouts are in the line-up of preliminary Dear Editor: I attended the Inter-racial Forum that was conducted at the new Public Library was the most interesting that I have ever attended. It did my heart good to see the large attendance. I especially enjoyed seeing so many different races represented. These metings will do much toward creating understanding between people. I could have listened for hours at the different speakers as they expressed their opinions. I shall make it a point to attend all the meetings. I wish they were held every Sunday instead of just the first and third Sunday. Dear Editor: The inter-racial Forum meeting held at the Library Sunday taught me many things. I was born in Germany and had no race prejudice until I reached the United-States of America. The Americans told me that the colored people were a degenerate inferior race. I am glad to say that I find them to be one of the most precious races that I have ever known. PABLO MANLAPIT TELLS OF ATTITUDE AT HOTELS INTER-RACE MEET IS BIG SUCCESS The meeting of the Pasadena Inter-Racial Forum in the Public Library Sundav afternoon was well attended and all enjoyed a live and representative discussion of inter-racial problems. Pablo Manlapit, well known Filipino editor, was the speaker of the day. Discussing the problems of the Filipinos he touched on the recent so-called race riot in California and said that while the element of jealousy entered into the matter, he felt that it was the result of a conspiracy of certain elements who desired to create public opposition to the entry of Filipinos into the United States. "If the Americans," he said, "have the right to enter our country and exploit it, has not the Filipino the same right to come to the United States?" Besides, to stop the Filipinos coming into the United States would be an infringement of the Constitution of the United States, so long as they are living under the American Flag." The speaker gave full credit to the United States for the material progress made during the years of the American occupation, but said that the Filipinos nevertheless desired to be left to fulfil their own destiny in their own way. The Filipinos have no quarrel with the American people and want to be friends. They hope to obtain their independence in a peaceable manner. In asking for freedom they are merely asking for the fulfillment of pleagues made by the United States. The question of fitness to govern themselves was settled by a president of the United States nearly ten years ago. RECITES PREJUDICES Afr hearing so much talk about American democracy Mr. Manlapit was amazed to find so much of racial discrimination in the United States. He has himself been refused service in an American barber shop and the only way in which he could gain admission to a large American hotel dining room was as the guest of two prominent white Americans who had to personally beg permission of the hotel management. The speaker could not understand this attitude towards people with a darker skin, particularly as he understood that racial superiority is not recognized by scientists. In speaking about Katherine Mayo's book "The Isles of Fear," in answer to a question from the floor, Mr. Manlapit said that it was written in a purely commercial view point of those on whom she depended to buy the book. The ensuing discussion by Filipinos, Hindus, Samoans, Koreans and American Negroes brought up many varied racial problems and viewpoints. Some very interesting points were brought out by a woman in the audience who has lived in the Orent, knowing personally many Filipino leaders. It is planned to continue these interesting and instructive meetings holding them on the first and third Sundays of each month. * * * * * Dear Editor: I have greatly enjoyed the inter- racial meetings you have had in Pasadena I believe that race prejudice can be largely overcome thru social contacts by the breaking of bread. For when two people sit down at meat together they become relaxed and human. I would certainly suggest more social contacts as a member of the white race I will say that some of my most charming friends are colored and I would not exchanged them for any in my own race. Yours for a Better Social Order, RUTH SKEEN OPEN LETTER Dear Editor: Just a few words about co-operation among the colored people in Pasadena, as you know I have been oper- ating a Gasoline station at Walnut and Pasadena Ave. more than three months. Of all the leaders, the educated, and best thinkers, you would be surprised if I should give you the names of the few who have been regular and faithful supporters. Some say they did not know about my station. I consider that a poor excuse after three months for it has been properly advertised not only through the papers, but broadcasted through most of our Churches, circulars were carried to the homes, and also left in our places of business. I must say that many have come in for a few times, and a few still drop in every once and a while, but they do not stick; if I am to be successful I need their steady support. I think that it is high time that we as a race should begin to pull together more and support our business enterprises. Remember where there is unity there is strength. OPEN LETTER It is quite necessary that race prejudice cease its activity. Why are the Europeans so prejudiced against Asiatics? If Jesus Christ were to visit the western world he would be ostracised because he came from Asia. Race prejudice is foolish. I have travelled the world. In various countries I have met Negroes married to white women. As a rule the women were very intolerant and beautiful. In India, South Africa, and England I have seen some of the most beautiful English women married to very black Africans. They get along very well and seem to love each other. Many of their children attend the various European colleges. I say this to say that we are all of one blood. The time will come when the American race problem will be solved by the Amalgamation of the bloods of the blacks and whites. The Agenda Club rendered a "literary" program Sunday evening.

WASHINGTON After a brief vacation we are again on the job and proud to say we are still advancing in every respect. First, we are quite interested as well as proud of a group of men and women who have organized a social charity club called the Jolly Twin Club. It was organized about three months ago at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Howard. It is the only club of its kind in Long Beach. A social meeting held once a week where "500" and whist are the features, and the problems of the needy are discussed. It is remarkable how the club is progressing in actually helping the needy. For example: at Christmas they donated five baskets of groceries. They have visited and helped the sick and sent several floral pieces. A club of this kind cannot receive too much encouragement and praise. The president is Mrs. Bessie Thomas. Mrs. Evelyn Morris is secretary, Mrs. Howard, treasurer, and Elinor R. Washington, reporter. Mr. S. L. Morris of the C. S. S. Maryland is home with his family for a brief stay. He will leave on the fifteenth for the East coast. Hear ye Hear ye! There will be Gale Ball in the near future given by the Elkos of this city. Watch for the date and be ye prepared. We're glad to see Mrs. Malesia Clavton again in our city. She has been visiting friends in San Diego and Portland. Among the strangers who are making their homes here for an indefinite period are Mr. Edwards Banks and Geo. Robinson, formerly of Oakland and now working at the Pacific Coast Club. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Gilmore are the proud possessors of a beautiful Auburn. They expect to go slow and see the fown. When hungry or thirsty, be sure to go to the La Verne Cafe. Courtesy and Service is its motto. They are centrally located and can't be beat for food. It is under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lewis-1224 California avenue. Miss Lucille Martin, niece of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Owens is making a wonderful record at L. B. Junior College. She deserves much credit. A very enjoyable evening was spent last Sunday at the home of Mrs. L. H. Howard, where Miss E. R. Washington had as guests from L. A. Miss Eunice Taylor, Miss Lenora Brodie, Miss Lucille Johnson and Messrs. Theo. Thomas and Geo. Rougee of Oakland.

Sometimes she deserves such criticism, but many times she does not. The father is as much to blame in many instances and again he alone may be responsible for the poor condition, or death, of his child. But never mind who is at fault, the infant must suffer just the same. Do you call this a square deal for the baby? Of course not. "Then for the sake of humanity, be human, and give your baby a fair enance to live, to be well and happy, and to be able to take care of himself and perhaps his mother and father later on.

"The life, health and normal development of the child depend largely on the health and protection of the mother. A mother can injure her child as much during the nine months before birth, as during the nine months after birth. The chances of an infant's living depends on sufficient income for family needs; health and right living of (both) parents; protection of the expectant mother from overwork, under-feeding and worry; skilled supervision during pregnancy and confinement, rest and adequate care during the lying-in period; maintenance of the breast feeding and intelligent mother care in the home." It will be noted from the above quotation that the part played by the father in providing that his baby may be healthy is considerable and large.

RESENT THE APPLICATION FOR NITE CLUB ON 41ST There is a universal uprising manifested in opposition to the application for a permit to operate a club house on East 41st street, just west of the Dunbar Hotel. It seems to be a case of too much of a good thing and if the protests of the residents in and around the proposed location count for anything the permit will be promptly denied. One resident said to the Eagle reporter that it takes, a great deal of gall and nerve for any person to, come forth and want to saddle on us another nite club, much less people of the opposite race coming into a strictly colored community, and asking for a club, it is the acme and paradox of nerve. We stand for Mosbv's club on account of his sterling worth and his genuine interest in the progress of the people, but if anyone thinks we'll stand for this proposition they have another thought coming. The application is put in the name of the Lincoln Hotel corporation which is the same ownership as the Dunbar Hotel.

Lincoln Day Banquet Season's Classic Lincoln Day Banquet Season's Classic Eastside Co-operative Improvement Association Sets High Mark The First Annual Lincoln Day Banquet of the Eastside Co-operative Improvement Association, a creature of the mind of its able chairman and general manager, Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert, launched a membership drive in the midst of one of the most classic affairs ever sponsored in the city of Los Angeles, according to a number of individuals who attended. A notable corps of distinguished guests including judges, civic leaders, and persons prominent in social and professional circles, gathered around the banquet table. The pantomime of the "Freeing of the Slaves," originated and directed by Madame Clara C. Hulbert and Louise Beverly, presented an ensemble of eight girls, pupils of Mrs. Beverly in an artistic demonstration which has extracted widespread attention. Jefferson Brown as the slave, bound and shackeled, touched the tenderest and most sympathetic notions of his audience until, when Mr. E. T. Hubert as Abraham Lincoln broke the bonds of slavery, there was a deep sigh of relief. Little Miss Inez Robertson, portraying the rebellious slave, caused a moment of tense emotion and feeling, with her dramatic ingenuity. The participants in the ensemble were, each and all of them, pupils of Louise Beverly, who was for many years an artist pupil of Ruth St. Dennis A quartett, Ursula Adams, Marcia Paumann, Portia Lewis and Ella Van Vactor, interpersed the pantomime with the Negro Spiritual, "Go Down Moses." Judge Carlos S. Hardy delivered a masterly address on Lincoln. Attv. Willis O. Tyler in his characteristic forensic persuasiveness held his listeners at a high interest as he talked of Lincoln. Mrs. A. O. Wilson, self-possessed and dignified, brought the message of that greatest Negro who came up from the dust of human degradation to the hall of immortal fame. Frederick Douglass. Mrs. Erwin P. Werner, prominent civic and social matron, urged a closer study and a more active affiliation with the program of the great Republican party. Among other interesting speakers were, Mrs. Everett Bodine Latham, member of the Board of Trustees of the California institution or Women; Chief of Police, Roy E. Steckel, Mr. Ben H. Graham, Attorney Hugh Macbeth, Bathy, Keith Garlin, former secretary to Governor Young and Director of the State Department of Professional and Vocational standards, Dr. T. L. Griffith, Dr. William R. Carter, Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon, Mrs. Betty Hill, Councilman E. Snapper Inram, Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Dr. E. R. Driver, Atty. Leon Whitsker, Mrs. C. A. Bass, Mr. Norman O. Houston, Mr. 'You're Next' BY GLADYCE GREENAWAY Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, whose wedding in January was one of the most charming affairs of the season.

FAMOUS LONE WOLF FORMAI IS GORGEOUS AFFAIR Last year the members of the Lone Wolf Social Club entertained guests at a marvelously arraigned formal which was declared one of the most successful, and this year's formal can be classed in the same category. A receiving line of about twenty men created the guests, and instairs those wonderful melody lads, Leon Rene and his syncopators, helped to make the evening a success. The hall was magnificently decorated, and the rostrum on which the musicians were seated, was decorated to predict a scene in the woods, with a stuffed wolf, very ferocius of manner, holding sway over the domin. The whole scene was very well carried out, even to the huts, grass, and flowers. During intermissions, very delicious refreshments were served. The officers of the Lone Wolf Club are: President A. L. Martin; Vice President Palmer P. Lampkins; Secy. Buck Parker; Asst. Secy. Jesse James; Treasurer Fred Butler; Business Manager E. Smith; Sare-at-arms R. V.

Phonn: WEstmore 2060 SOPHIA L. BASTON MANAGER BY CARL ECHOLS Dear Inhabitants of earth: This is the region of blazes and brimstone after all is said and done, this is quite a desirable place. We have lots of fun listening to the walls of the newcomers at this very moment hell is reverbrant with a distressing out cry. An ex-minister is the cause of the disturbance. He was one of those grasping, enterprising business men who concealed his hoarding propensities 'neath a cloak of religion when the flames have lashed him sufficiently he'll be a well seasoned devil like the rest of us. We are all initiated, and too, we all must become adopted to our new environment. I'd rather be here than any place pastorate of the church and the $2,500 a year salary. Mrs. Christian contended that she inherited the church which was founded by her husband through Divine Right and that Rev. Stuckey had been illegally elected pastor. The court, however, refused to uphold the contention and Rev. Stuckey will continue to minister to the flock and draw the salary. O U. Y. RIL. Art. C. Custer. I know. In heaven i tis too monotoneous—dull business that, of walking on golden streets, playing on golden harps and eating manna, milk and honey forever and ever. Here it's more interesting. Down here all we devils know that everybody else is a devil. There is no chance to deceive. We become used to our new home in course of time, and I would not return to earth if I had a chance. Up there on earth things are worse than here in hell. I know for I have lived on earth. There they have factories operated by prosperous business men who are not too kind to employ small children. Children whose very souls and bodies are stunted by the work they are compelled to do. One of your leading citizens has just arrived here. He says that several expectant mothers—working in his factory—died as a result of overwork and under norishment. He said that if he had another chance on earth he would spend his life time in the cause of the cruelly treated shop girls. Tell me, do your dark races fare any better than they did 50 years ago? Someone told me that in the United States they still lynch the Negroes—discriminate against them in the white churches—hotels—schools—and public places in general. Is this so? Conditions are better here in hell. Maybe things are better in heaven, but a friend just said he heard that even in heaven some of the southern white angels expect the colored angels to do the janitor work—and stay in their places. Conditions are better here in hell. Do your christian nation still carry Bibles, whisky, dope, and disease germs to the foreign heathens? They die when I was on earth. The christians are a strange group. Ninety-nine percent of the inhabitants of hell is composed of them. We have comparatively few Mohammedans, Buddhists, and other religionists. I wonder why? I was told that just recently signs forbidding Chinese and dogs from visiting certain parks in China were removed. White foreigners put the signs there. Also I was told that in South Africa native blacks have to get off the side walks when white foreigners passed by. Is this so? I wonder why? They tell me that the stronger governments, still PROTECT the weaker nations by impossing their own rule on them and then robbing them. How queer! Conditions are not so here in hell. We are at least treated fairly. Do you still have billionaires and beggars living in the same city? I have never been able to understand the justice of the two great classes on earth; the capitalists and laborers, conditions are not so here in hell. Well, I must close. But I feel sorry for you people on earth. You are worried with taxes, bills, insurance, etc. Conditions are different in hell. We have no fears, worries, or anxieties. We have no exploiters. And here no one can be a hypocrite for every devil knows that everybody else is a devil. Well, good bye. P. S.—We are enlarging our quarters. It is rumored here that you are to have another war soon. Some say 'twill be between the Protestants christians and the Catholic christians; others say either between the white and dark christians or between the christian capitalists and the non-christian laborers.

This will be one of the best musical programs ever brought to our city. Everyone asked to come early and get your seat. Loyal workers of our church have been successful in bringing this program to our church, and we hope that every citizen could be present. Everyone welcome! Rev. S. A. WILLIAMS, Pastor THE CHURCH TO THE AID OF NEGRO BUSINESS BX. BISHOP W. J. WALLS (Chaplain National N. B. League) In Christianity there should be no such thing as a Negro Church. But there is. In Democratic society, there should be no such thing as Negro business. But there must be. If the Negro does not conquer business, business will enslave him. How he is to become master in the business world is the big question with our group now. What contribution the church can make to this cause that dominates all our practical matters is no less an imperative issue than other prime factors among us. Since both our church and business, like all other Negro interests, are segregated by racial and social lines, the two logically become interdependent and coterminous. The Negro's church exists along with his business and industrial assets and his business cannot be established upon morality and permanency without intergrity born of Christianity. No part of our civilization, whether in art, science, industry, economics, politics, or religion can be secure without the church and strangely enough true, there can be no such thing as a lasting and constructive Negro church that does not have these factors of civilization to support it. Neither the rule of gold nor the golden rule alone can supply a whole life for any people but both used co-operatively and wonderfully inter-related can produce the much-dreamed of golden era in the life of individuals, communities and nations. Business can give the church a robust body, the church can give to business an unfailing soul. I was recently in a church where an effort was being made to raise funds for a church college. The two men called to take the collection see saweed with each other to make the offering fail. one said, "If the money were for this church's Building the Loan. I would give a dollar, but I will not give to the cause." The other, who was a grocer gave a quarter and said, "I cannot give more because this church does not help my business by trading with me." Upon investigation, it was found that the first man was the treasurer fund and only interested in that and the second man runs a grocery store in which he cannot be induced to give a square coal to his customers. The trouble here was that both men were too self centered either to help themselves or the causes that fell to their charge. What we need is not less impatience but constructive impatience. Impatience and intolerance with each other gets us nowhere. Progress is made by impatient tolerating each other's shortcomings, while we respond to each other's call. To aid in the construction of the essential institutions of our progress whether they be churches, trading shops or colleges, all are essential. In them is our supply of food for our souls, food for our minds and food for our bodies; and when either of these essentials does not command interest, we are without an essential motor of progress and self-preservation. The Progressive Baptist Church 1545 East 23rd Street We, the members of the Progressive Baptist Church proclaim Sunday, Feb. 16, the Banner Day in the history of the church. The week leading up to this day was celebrated in honor of our 10th Anniversary with pulpit being occupied by visiting pastors, with their choirs. Sunday morning the pastor preached from the subject: "What is a Church?" We were made to feel very proud of him, who being inspired by his good wife and backed by a staunch Board of Deacons, is making rapid progress. At 3 p. m. the church was filled to hear Rev. E. E. Burkhalter, pastor of the Beth Eden Baptist Church. He preached from the subject: "Security of Believers in Jesus Christ." Our hearts were made to burn and many exclaimed "Never did a man preach like this." Then came the mortgage burning at which service Dr. W. R. Carter officiated. It was a most touching sight to see Mother Watkins, dressed in white, holding tray on which rested blazing mortgage, having been lighted by G. D. Lyons, newest member and Deacon E. Watkins, oldest member of the church, while members and well wishers sang joyfully. There were many visitors of note—Mrs. W. R. Carter who had accompanied her husband Dr. Carter, Mrs. E. E. Burkhalter and Mrs. E. O. Solomon who never forgets to drop in and leave some words of encouragement. We are inspired to do more in the future than we have in the past. We invite you one and all to our services. Not forgetting to mention the prime visitors—Our Heavenly Father—thru whom we have accomplished these things and to whom we gratefully give our thanks. We are, The Progressive Baptist Church. BY ANNA McMILLIAN The one great aim and desire of all the people is to free themselves and others from the many burdens that apparently hold them in bondage. Such as disease, sin, wants, sorrow and the many problems that appear to take the jay out of life and they are earnestly seeking to understand the truth that Jesus said would set them Free. It is now a demonstrable fact that all difficulties are overcome by prayer which is knowing the truth that sets Free. We do not join Truth, Truth unites us. JAMES H.

Central Avenue Gardens News Last Wednesday evening, Feb. 12, between 6 p. m. and 7 p. m., Danny Gray of 9409 Pace avenue, shot and instantly killed his common-law wife, Dora Shirley, of the same address. He then otok lysol and shot himself in the neck, but his attempt to commit suicide was futile and he is now confined to the prison ward of the General Hospital. At the inquest last Saturday he was bound over to the Superior Court for murder. Mrs. Shirley was a West Indian and she and Gray were new corners to the Gardens, having moved out sometime last summer. It is thought that Gray killed her because she had decided to leave him. She had a husband who divorced her later on account of Gray. Mrs. Sarah Warner, of 950 Pace avenue, an old friend of Mrs. Shirley, considers herself a lucky person, because of the fact that Gray had threatened to kill her also, and it is known that Gray was looking for htr Wednesday, but Mrs. Warner says she had a "bunch" to leave home and went over to some friends in the neighborhood and spent the day. This is the first tragedy that has occurred in the tract since its founding. Mrs. Sarah Young, who has been Mrs. Sarah Young, who has been quite ill is able to be up and around again. Miss Gladys Bell is confined to her bed with a bad case of sore throat. M. Percy Pettus, brother of Mr. L. Pettus of Parmalea avenue, died at the General Hospital las tWednesday. Funeral services were held from the Congregational church, Saturday morning. Mrs. J. E. Jayne is sponsoring a musicale to be given for the benefit of Mt. Olive Baptist church 9428 Zamora CONCERT EXTRAORDINARY-- YESTERDAY and TODAY Presented By A. C. H. Bilbrew--Thurs. Eve. Feb. 27th--6:30 P. M. At St. Paul Baptist Church, Cor. 21st & Naomi Sts. Admission 35c. Benefit St. Paul Church REV. S. A. WILLIAMS, Pastor THE ECONOMIC LIFE OF THE NEGRO RACE A COLLAPSING SHELL. (Continued from Page One) is having its repercussion in our social, religious, clive and professional life. No race can survive, much less succeed, without making its bread and butter sure. To attempt racial advancement without laying an economic foundation is as illogical as an attempt to put a roof on a house without first constructing its foundation, and just as impossible. Food, clothing, and shelter are fundamental and distributive control of these must first be taken into consideration by our leaders, otherwise all their other attempts at racial advancement will be as fruitless as so many soap bubbles. The Negro masses must understand that their ill treatment in this country is not caused by their color nor previous condition of servitude, but economic weekness. They will never know this however. If the race contents itself with following a leadership that makes social and civic graviences paramount in their efforts at racial improvement. This pecking at the dominant race for injustices, real and otherwise, perpetrated upon us, irritates them and leaves a sore spot without ameliorating the condition complained of. Par beft from me to minimize the wrongs suffered by the American Negro at the hands of the American Whites, which is not New York has ever lived, having his right mind, who has not felt the physical or mental sting of American race proscription whils residing within the borders of the United States. I only wish to emphasize the fact that our present combatant methods will not correct matters. To protect ourselves and our rights we must use means that are effective. The only possible effective means at our command is business, and, since the individual Negro business is no match for the business mergers of millions, our business must be cooperative. Co-operative business is both a defensive and an offensive move. It overcomes injustices while at the same time saves the profits of consumption to the race. It takes in the masses and directs and channelizes their purchasing power. No race in America is treated as we are, and no other race has the mass appeal and opportunity to correct those injustices as we have. It matters not what our individual economic position every Negro looks alike to practically, every white man. Nerroes of wealth are too few to command respect or demand consideration for racial wrongs. By considering the Negro as one the white man has voluntarily and without expense to us, organized us. The race should take advantage of this organization by entering and supporting co-operative business, for it is only in co-operation of the masses will economic, social, and civic relief come. Put a bull in a corner and continue to wave a red cloth before him and you will stir him to action so that the brute will break out and after you, if it is all possible. Being forced out of employment by the economic condition of the white masses, who are being forced to tramp the streets because of labor-saving machinery, and being compelled to accept a lesser position as men and women in all the American scheme of activities, are in themselves, hales of red cloth. Like the bull we see the see the red, stumped bull, we see the red, stumped at the mouth. But unlike the bull we refuse to use the only means at our command to break the pen that holds us into economic slavery and social ostracism. That means is the development of co-operative business. There are many wrong ways to correct our weaknesses, but only one right way. We must find that one way and adopt it, and there is no better way than economic co-operation. Co-operative business will develop that mental freedom and give a calm outlook for our future. But if co-operative business is not adopted and put into effect on a large scale among us we are justified in becoming alarmed as to the future of the American Negro. For as presently constituted our economic life is an empty shell and will surely collapse by natural forces of power from without. avenue, Thursday evening, March 28 a twich time Mrs. Payne will present some of her puns. The lying of the cornerstone of the Mt. Olive Baptist church will be held some time in March. The choir of the church was the guest of Zion Hill Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Idell Bateman turned over to the church, last Sunday morning, $36 as her receipts from, a social Saturday night. Mrs. Spencer, wife of the pastor of the church, entertained the Missionary Society at her home on East 39th St. Many games were played and Mrs. John Peace of Hooper avenue came home with the prize.

My pen has made enemies of one Lawyer, one Politician, and a Doctor; if I can just get J. L. Hill, the Under-taker, on my list I will consider it the end of a perfect day and make preparations to leave town. When a man or woman becomes so narrow-minded as to lose all sense of Humor, they are standing in their own light. PULLMAN PORTER LOSES MIND; STRAPPED IN BED AT GEN- ERAL HOSPITAL Theodore Pemberton, well-known Pullman Pier, is being operating out of the Minnapolis district for a number of years, but residing in Los Angeles with his wife, is in a precarious condition in the general hospital, psychiatric ward 195 at this writing. Mr. Pemberton is well known in railroad circles especially on the Union Pacific Railroad. His condition at the present time is such that his attendants are forced to keep him strapped to his bed. It is thought that the result of his condition was brought on by a severe nervous break-down. Mrs. Pemberton is also well known in Los Angeles' railroad circles. G. W. HENDERSON RETURNS TO WORK G. W. Henderson, popular Pullman porter of this district, who has been sick for some time, has returned back to work. Mr. Henderson has been operating the Nogales line for a number of years, but has traded off with Hankins for a few trips until he gains his full strength L. A. COFFIN PRESENTED WITH HANDBACK YEAR-FIRST MEETING Last week at a Safety-first meeting held in the Southern Pacific Yard, and attended by approximately 88 porters of the Los Angeles district. Mr. L. A. Coffin, retired Pullman Porter Instructor was presented with a handsome gladstone hand bag, and a check for a large sum of money as a token of the hish esteem in which he was held by the porters in this district. Pulliam Porter instructor J. H. Eldridge made the presentation with a brief talk, which was in turn answered by Mr. Coffin, who stated that in as much as he had just recently lost his wife, who was as well known to the men as himself, he thought that he could serve the purpose of this great contribution of devotion and friendship in no better way then to purchase a stone large enough to cover the last resting place of himself and wife, so that the Pulliam Porters of this district will forever have in mind the high respect in which he considered their friendship. He was roundly applauded by those present, and the Superintendent made a few brief remarks, stating that if Mr. Coffin had had a whole year to think, he could not have thought of a better idea. The tribute paid to Mr. Coffin by the porters is by far the greatest tribute ever paid to a Pullman porter in this district. Many men who were out of town at the time the list was sent around expressed their regret and disappointment in not being in the city to have a part in the contribution. The gift was well deserved by Mr. Coffin as he was a fair and square shooter setting an example for others who come behind him to follow. The porters of this district are exceedingly fortunate in getting as capable a man as J. H. Eldridge for Mr. Coffin's successor. H. K. BLACKSTONE REMAINS AT LOW ERR H. K. Blackstone, veteran Pullman porter who is making such a brave fight for life in the general hospital is still in a very weakened condition. It is thought by many that Mr. Blackstone is fighting a losing battle, as his age is against him, and he has practically nothing to build on. However if the galling of the Pullman Porters, who were his friends can help him, he will soon be up and about once more. Blackstone can be seen by any who care to visit him at the general hospital in ward 220. Porters are asked to take a few minutes of their time and visit Blackstone. A smiling face of comrades with whom you have battled through life goes a long ways sometimes toward enduring que's last days. Blackstone never failed to meet you with a smile when he was well and among you—Do not fall him now when he is flat on his back; perhaps for his last time. WELCOME HARRY LEVETTE A very pleasant surprise was sprung on the public last week, when the smiling face of Harry Levette was seen once more in its old familiar place at the head of his famous column of Uppercents and Blocks. Mr. Levette who has been absent from the Eagle sporting sheet for the past year has been greatly missed by sporting circles. Now that he is based on the job once more with a capable assistant in Art Hamilton, a sporting sheet surpassing any colored paper on the Pacific Coast will be looked forward to. In the very first edition he has got the low down on the new East Side Club, and given his readers first hand information on the subject. You can rest assured that if a hands off policy is to be continued with colored sports writers. Mr. H. Levette will spare no space in making the fact known to the public, who desire that a square deal be given to both white and black. Yes! we welcome Harry Levette back on the staff. ING PARTY Mr. C. J. Dunn, traveling chef of the A. C. L. R. R., writes me from Washington, D. C. that at the present writing he is making preparations to take President Hoover to Long Keys, Fla., on a fishing expedition. Mr. Duffin states in his letters which are always a great source of pleasure for me to read and publish, that this is the road of Presidents, we have a presidential crew that we keep intact. We also have a special constitution that is only used for presidents. I trust that the quality of sercourse and waiting room in the Union vice rendered him on this special might have a tendency to impress him that we are qualified as a race to do anything that the Republican party might have to offer us in return for the loyalty we have shown in their behalf. Through the influence of Mr. Daffin as traveling chef, he has recently been able to have two more traveling chefs appointed on his lines in the persons of Mr. George W. Banks, formerly of New York Central, and Mr. O. Baxter of the Fla. East Coast. He further states that they have such salesmen as D. E. Reed, Charles Lett, Marceline D. E. Gao, sons of the Golden West and gentlemen that I am glad to have in our midst, exponents of service, and representatives of the quality and type of service that the Golden West affords. It seems as though Mr. Daffin is giving western talent quite a boost. I hope they can live up to it. The boys out here are very much interested in the crews that handle "president, and would like to hear more about them. SANTA FE COACH TICKETS CUT PULLMAN TRADE Some time ago in an effort to increase their business between Los Angeles and San Diego, the Santa Fe established a reduced fare in coaches only, the ticket selling for a much cheaper price than the first class ticket. However, should a passenger desire to purchase a berth in the Pullman he must fork up the difference between the price of this coach ticket and the regular first class ticket. This is responsible for a great many vacant beds in the Pullmans between here and San Diego. It has cut Pullman passenger trade almost in half. The Santa Fe has an alert passenger force who make it their business to increase the revenue of their company. If an arrangement could be made thru the Pullman Company to honor these coach tickets in the sleepers in purchasing berths, the business of the Owl would increase 5 percent. PORTERS DISAPPOINTED ON FEBRUARY 14TH Many Pullman porters who went to the office seeking their checks on the 14th of February were sadly disappointed when told that pay day came on the 15th. The porters took it for granted that in a 28-day month pay day would fall on the 14th. PORTERS RETURN FROM MEXICO PORTERS RETURN FROM MEXICO Porters E. E. Meyers and A. Graves returned last week from a very hard trip down in old Mexico with the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. However, the boys were well satisfied with the financial results of the trip. Cramba! If you like the Railroad Glatter write me a letter and tell me so; if you do not like the Railroad Glatter, do the same thing. Chas. L. Upton, 2190 W. 30th St. --- EVERY TUB Must Stand on its own Bottom Normand Steward, one of the big guns at the Santa Fe Depot, is not particular who he hustles on. He was seen carrying a parlor car porter's equipment last week. He would take a dime off of a blind man in order to get money to buy gasoline for that hot Essex of his. McDowell is so crazy about the Chief that he quite frequently rides it to Pasadena. However, he has got a plan on foot that when it matures it is destined to wake up a whole lot of people who have been sleeping for a long, long while. I wonder why that half a dollar is so hard for Mr. Eubanks at the Santa Fe depot to pay back. Interest will be due on it soon. I am sure that it was not that hard to get. L. C. Richardson, red cap at San Diego has just finished a hot paint job on his Ford de Luxe. Rich says he will never undertake another job like it. He intends to give the car to his father, and purchase a new one. That boy won't stop for the red "chit and he won't go for the green. Mr. Frank Pharr, former vice-president of the Lion Tamers Club, and Hawkins are now operating regular extra parlor cars to San Diego, which will remain in service until after the race. This naturally gives Frank the break that he has been looking for. Frank Thompson remained on the job last week in order to show the head can-men what it was all about. Frank; knows his stuff when it comes to spreading water. My friend Crouch is sure a lucky guy to have such nice looking ladies come down to the train and bid him good-bye. It is really too bad that Mr. Crouch had to go through Los Angeles to Merced. I am wondering whether any one will be down at the depot to greet him in Merced when he arrives. A certain Pullman porter seems to take a great delight in taking his girl out to dinner in the Santa Fe Depot. We wonder why? Do you think it is because he gets rats? W. Janet has acquired a long mustache and looks like Santa Claus in distress. G. M. Tynony has bld in line 639. Evidently Tynony wants to get out from under the fire of the gun. Can't blame him for that. They tell me that my friend H. O. Palinus was very much peeved be ELFEN—J. E. P. causes Murray was not elected as delegate to the Convention in Chicago. How come, Philips? W. A. Hall states that the valley is beginning to get hot now. And for all you cold weather birds to stay away if you do not want to burn up. King Johnson who has been running in charge to Fresno has bid in the Phoenix line. He says he made the change on account of his health. We wonder if J. Bell will miss him? Line 3527. Los Angeles to Fresno, is now up for bid. Hop to it. A. Hill has bid in line 3462. Luck be with him. A. V. Evans a Chicago East porter is sick in the General Hospital, Ward 120. Chicago East porters are requested to go and see him. They picked up Johnny with a mop. He jumped off a car before it stopped. SAFETY FIRST! What do you think about this for a crew?—A. McNearney. D. Rosemond, Joe White and L. W. Davis. J. Goodwin is reported as on the skist list. J. Ponder dropped by the Angelus General Home last week with the remains of a 1927 Chrysler. Having plenty of gas he told J. L. Hill, manager of that establishment that he could beat anything Hill had. Mr. Hill asked him if he could best his hearsay. Ponder stepped on the gas and Hill has not seen him since. G. C. Curry claims that the boys are living too fast, aid if they do not check up a whole lot of them will be candidates for the poor house. C. H. Levey is contemplating on building a swimming pool at his mansion in Santa Los Angeles. We wonder if he will let J. Ponder swim in it. Mr. Ponder entered the Wrigley marathon some time ago. Frank Fleming is still running to the border—out from underneath the gun. Mr. A. D. Diebert has purchased a red hot Ford. The Union Pacific has put on some new diners that are a scream. J. D. Banton is now following his real profession, which is cooking. What about that deal between Atorney C. W. Murdock and my good friend Price? Geo. S. Grant is still under the care of a doctor at his home in Pasadena. Traveling Chef, Thomas Harrison, will soon put a cook book on the market. After all the Railroad Clatter will keep you awake if you care to read it. MY EXPERIENCE WITH MOVIE STARS CHAPTER 7-FINAL STARS PUT ON LAST SHOW IN DESMOINES UNDER AUSPICES OF SHRINERS We arrived in Des Moines at 7:20 A.M. Everyone got up bright and early as a big show was supposed to be put on that night at the Shrine Auditorium. Everyone was excited, because the report had been circulated that everything depended on the success of this show. The money was about none, and there was quite a little white-ring going on in the different compartments concerning the outcome of the show. All of the advance advertising agents had been called in and the club car was packed to capacity. Smoke was as thick as butter within. Jekk Dangherly and Cullen Lindis, both who never seemed to take anything seriously, were drinking in their compartment and in a jolly mood; apparently they did not care whether school broke up or not. DeVaux was a very busy little man that day. He had numerous conferences with different men and was kept constantly on the go all day. PULLMAN AGENT PRESENTS B I L L About noon of the day we arrived, Mr. Blossom, Pullman representative at Des Moines asked me to show him the boss of the outfit, Mr. Devaur; he said that the next payment on the car was due, and he wanted to collect. I took him off to one side and explained just how thing were being handled his records to money, and he did not seem a bit pleased about it. He told the Pullman Company would not have any money, business, that they might pay him for the car. I began to kiss things good-bye then, because I knew that he had about as much chance of collecting eight hundred dollars as the man in the moon; why, we were just in Des- moines by the skin of our teeth. However, I directed him to Mr. Devaur and they had it out. Devaur told him to come around the next morning after the night of the show and get his check. So you see how much depended on this show. He had told many others the same thing that very day. Mr. Blossom went away and assured him that he would be back the next morning. The stars were highly entertained that day by many big people in Des Moines. **SHOW A COMPLETE FAILURE** Automobiles were lined up besides the car at 7 P. M. that night a block long, and quite a crowd had assembled to see the stars leave the car as they departed for what was to be their last stand—and it was. AFTER THE SHOW Mr. Devaux was the first one to return from the show. And he brushed by me in a wild dash for his compartment. His wife, smelling a mouse, had remained on the car and did not go to see what the results of the show was going to be. He entered the room and slammed things around for about an hour. As he slammed the door behind him we heard her ask him how was the show and he yelled out at the top of his voice that it was a complete failure; "we did not have enough people in the house to pay for the light." I heard him say. She said, "Well, that's too bad, What will you do? "Oh, go home I guess, unless we can raise some more money somewhere," he replied. By this time more of the stars came in, and changed their clothes and went out again in machines that were waiting for them. Only three of the rooms were occupied on the car that night; they all went to a hotel and on a big party. STARS ARE ARRESTED The next morning I picked up a nager and reed in glaring headlines that the Hollywood moving picture stars were arrested. I carried the paper to my wife, and she in turn took it in to Mr. Devaux. He soon disappeared. The hotel manager in Omaha had wired to Des Moines to arrest the whole outfit for jumping their hotel bill. You will remember that I spoke of the stars last week as having gone to one of the swellest hotels in Omaha and stopping during their three-day stay in that city. So they put the little dears in jail—gill with the exception of Helen Holmes and Bryant Washburn. Helen Holmes had left town on the midnight train directly after the show, because I carried her bags over to the train myself; she went to Oklahoma City, where they wanted her to take part in a big wild west show. STARS OUT OF JAIL Bryant Washburn was the only one left in the company that had any money. So he went down and bailed them all out and then wired the hotel manager in Omaha that he would stand good for the bill. His word was good. PULLMAN AGENT RETURNS While all of this was going on, Mr. Blossom, the Pullman Agent returned to the call for this appointment. Mr. Dewaux both complained and I guess you know how that conversation ended without me telling you; he could not get blood out of a turnip. Mrs. Dewaux had taken all of her thighs out of the compartment and got them in an automobile, and I never did know where she went, it was the last time I saw her. PULLMAN AGENT DEMANDS RELEASE OF CAR BY NOON LEASE OF CAR BY NOON It did not take the wwe, little acre very long to tell Mr. Devaux that he must mustice the car by noon. The stars had not returned to the car from the night before. Mr. Blossom told me that he would have driven the car and yard already twenty o'clock, and believe me, he was not not feeding a bit. At eleven o'clock a switch engine becked slowly up the track and connected its couplers up to the car, and stood there waiting for the stroke of twelve. MOVE TO CLUB CAR At eleven-thirty, Mr. Devaux told me to start moving all of the things in the different compartments into the club car as the stars had not returned yet. And I sure had some job packing grips for the next half hour. My wife helped me and by noon we had the old car Tennessee about as empty as we could get it. We just riddled everything all up together in the club car. I know there was an awful mix up when the stars did get back. SWITCH ENGINE TAKES CAR FIVE MILES TO ARDS Right on the stroke of twelve, the switch engine pulled out for the yards which were about five miles away from where we were parked. I bid the club car porter good-bye and that was the last I saw of him for many a day. I had talked to the Pullman agent for quite a while in regards to the movement of the car and what disposition he intended to make of the madam. As a rule all Pullman porters must stay with their cars regardless of where they go, unless relieved by a Pullman representative. He told me to report up to his office the next A. M. and he would see that I got a pass back to Los Angeles which just suited me. That night I made down two rooms for the madam and myself, and then we started the job of packing up our stuff for the return trip. We thought at first that they would deadhead the car back to Los Angeles, but they didn't and we had to get rid of a lot of junk that we had accumulated on the trip. HAVE TROUBLE GETTING PASSES We had a wonderful night's rest, and woke up the next morning bright and early. It was so far to the Pullman office from where we were parked with the car that I telephoned for the information I wanted. I could not get any satisfaction as to when we would get away, so I told the Pullman agent that I would be down and see him. I asked him if there was any likelihood of the car being moved, and he sat no, that I could it up, which I did. We took a street car and went to the office to see about our transportation. Mr. Blossom, never having a maid in his district before, was at a loss about what to do with her. He had an annual pass on hand which I could use as far as Kansas City, but he did not have anything for my wife. I told him that I did not want to go all the way back to Los Angeles and leave her there alone until he found out what he was going to do with her. So he said I could stay there with her until he heard from Chicago. He wired twice and explained the situation to them, and a pass for both of us finally came the next day, good as jar as Kansas City, from there we were supposed to get off and get more transportation to L. A. We were in Des Moines two days after the car had been released. ON THE WAY HOME We caught a train out of Des Moines the next day and arrived, in Kansas City that evening about 5 P. M. I parked the madam in the depot with all the baggage and went upstairs to Mr. Arthur's office for more transportation. He could only fix us out as far as Tuppincarr, a dividing line on the Rock Island and Southern Pacific. STAY OVERNIGHT IN KANSAS CITY I found out that the fastest train did not leave K. C, until 10 A. M. the next day, so the Pullman Instructor in Kansas City took us in his machine to a hotel, where we put up for the night. We grabbed a cab the next morning after partaking of breakfast and caught our train. Mr. Arthur had explained to me that he would wire El Paso to have our transportation from Tuppencarril to L. A. waiting for us at Tuppencarril. We left in good spirits, glad to be on our way home. TOURIST CAR PORTER GETS S. J. C. K. We were assigned to a berth in the tourist car and settled down for the long trip to the Coast. But it was short-lived as far as I was concerned. Shortly after we left Kansas City, the tourist car, porter, an Oakland man, became very sick with the Flu, and I being the only one on the train available, had to jump in and take charge of the car. He was put to bed and my wife acted as nurse. It was sure a very dusty trip and for a while I looked as if I was hauling eshes. BILL GARNER ON STANDARD A B R Big Bill Garner was in charge of the Observation Car on this train and can verify that I certainly worked like a slave on that trip, while the madam sat back in her seet like she had a million dollars and looked out the window. NO TRANSPORTATION AT TEPPENCARRI We arrived at Tupencarri about 3 A. M. and I hopped off the train and went to the ticket-office for the rest of our transportation; my wife was in bed. The gentleman looked high and low, but could not locate it. The train conductor was standing there and told me that I would have to get off because he could not carry me or my wife without transportation. I admit that I was scared all right, because Tupencarri is the last place in the city to stay in town. I stay all night. I pleaded like a good fellow, and told him that I was taking the tourist car porter's place, so he let me by but wanted to put my wife off. I went in and told her and she told me to tell the gentleman that she was in bed and did not wish to be disturbed, that it was not her fault that the transportation was not there. He 'mally let us go on to El Paso. STILL NO TRANSPORTATION STILL NO TRANSPORTATION When we arrived in El Paso I was busy getting ice, but I saw the platform man and told him about it. He said he would go up to the office and bring our pass down to the train. That was the last I saw of him, he never did come back, so we pulled out of El Paso without any pass. After we had gotten well on the way the train conductor came through the car and asked for our tickets. My wife pointed to me and there was another long argument over transportation. He said we would have to get off at the next stop. But he was only kidding us. He got a wire on to his superintendent and they told him to bring us into Los Angeles. We never did get our passes until we arrived in L. A. The station master met us at the train and had the passes in his hands for us to sign. They had run around us on the Sunset Limited. HOME When we unlocked our front door after arriving home my wife started pulling out green backs from different places which I never knew were in existence. She had saved every dime we had made on the trip while things were going good. And I want to tell you, dear readers, that I was very well satisfied with the results of that most wonderful trip with the Hollywood Moving Picture Stars. This concludes my experience with Movie Stars, which I hope you have enjoyed. This being my first experience of relating to the public any of my personal experiences in the Pullman service, I would greatly appreciate any comments by mail on the article; these I shall gladly publish should I find that such articles or stories are liked and desired by my readers, I shall be glad at a later date to relate through this column "My Experience with Chief of Police Louis D.

Despite the fact that Haitia is a Black Republic and there has been an insistent demand for the appointment of members of that race on the commission by the Congress to investigate conditions in Haitia, President Hoover on last week appointed the committee and failed to select any other persons upon the same except white men. In this situation there is great disappointment throughout the length and breadth of this country; for surely, all fair minded citizens say, an honest desire to get right down to the bottom of things, then one of their race should have been named on this commission. However with the events of the past looking us square in the face, it was indeed a forlorn hope to look toward the White House for any sort of recognition worth while or to participate in the affairs of government, even for a citizenship which represents one-tenth of the nation's population. Finally most if not all of the great statesmen who were sincere in their declarations of the fair and square deal have gone. There are no more Lincolnns, Grants, Clevelands, McKinleys nor Roosevelts and as a consequence what else can we expect? FGOTISM AND BOMBAST Flamboyant, bombastic and egotistic declarations of self-appointed and self-declared leaders never have and never will get us anywhere What we need is less talk and more demonstration. Then even the nothing has ever been to pass in the past, there will be a chance for the future. Truly it is a wise man who knows his father. Flamboyant, bombastic and egotistic and self-declared leaders never have and What we need is less talk and more demons has ever been to pass in the past, there ture.

THE MIGRATORY INSTINCT That ancient and world-wide sun god, one of whose name survives for the comfort of makers of cross-word puzzles, has had another honor from modern science. The sun is responsible, it appears, for that mystery which has kept so many scientists awake at nights, the mystery of migrating birds. To follow the swallow is not difficult, but what does the swallow follow. That ancient and world-wide sun god, for the comfort of makers of cross-word put from modern science.

The true key lies in the number of hours of sunlight in the day, in the opinion of at least one naturalist. The length of the day is a constant astronomical differences between years. And for experimental purposes man can lengthen or shorten the day unseasonably within a limited space. This has been done through artificial lighting and has proved quite conclusively that the variation in the length of the day controls the migratory impulse. This impulse may come from glands which have been observed to enlarge or shrink under some stimulus imparted by the hours of light. Many laymen are not interested in a scientific reason why birds go south in winter and North in summer, but even they detect an interesting connection between mankind and the gland and light theory. That the seasons affect man's feelings is a commonplace with poets, if not with scientists. Is it improbable that some obscure stimulus of the lengthening daws of spring is behind the wanderlust? Is there any connection between modern illumination and the fact that many, who formerly felt the lust for wandering only in the spring, now must resist it the whole year through if they cannot afford to submit to it?

But when the perfect city is evolved there is no reason why Los Angeles should not be that city. Perfection is not merely a matter of population. To the contrary, the perfect city may be the smallest city, but it must be the best place in which to live, the most satisfactory place in which to work and transact business and the most attractive place for visitors. It must be the city which stands out preeminently as the city of friendliness and neighbors—that city that loves to give attention to the little things that make visitors and sojourners desire to return into its fold on every possible occasion. It must be that city with the love of service developed to as high a degree as any city anywhere may hope for and expect. Cities have the ambition to ascend to great heights when they have built their foundation with an understanding of the main essentials which go into the development of municipal prestige and good will. Without these attributes some cities may become richer and larger, but they do not and cannot become better. LOS ANGELES' BUSINESS DISTRICT The present generation has seen the business district of Los Angeles and the individual business establishments of that district spread out and blossom forth like the foliage of spring. The transformation in the general appearance "downtown" has been marked while that of many stores has been quite remarkable. The present generation has seen the bus and the individual business establishments blossom forth like the foliage of spring. Theeral appearance "downtown" has been marsh has been quite remarkable. There is only one explanation for this general prosperity, not here and there a suing and progressing business district. The prospering and they are passing along their and their community in better stores, more There is only one explanation for this improvement and that is general prosperity, not here and there a successful merchant but a thriving and progressing business district. The merchants of Los Angeles are prospering and they are passing along their prosperity to their customers and their community in better stores, modern and artistic show windows, more convenient and accessible interior arrangements for the play of their stocks and better and larger stocks. But there must be an explanation for this prosperity and that explanation can only be more business. More Los Angeles people are buying at home and more people from adjacent towns and rural sections are coming to Los Angeles to buv. Business prosperity here has been built upon a foundation of adamantine rock without inflation or soculation. The business district and its individual units have grown and improved only as rapidly as business has grown and improved. And here again explanations must be forthcoming. Why this "better business?" Business has always come to those who deserve it. The merchants of Los Angeles have deserved to win the smile of "better business?" Business has always come to those who deserve it. The merchants of Los Angeles have deserved to win the smile of "better business" because they have supplied the stores, the stocks, the quality and the prices to attract it. There was one good thing about the longer courtship of old times. It resulted in longer marriage. There is one difficulty about putting to death weak-minded persons. It might include too many. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened This year thirty out of the forty-eight states will choose their Governors. Thirty-six will choose United States Senators. Forty-eight will name and elect Congressmen. The Senators will be elected for six year terms. The governors for terms named by the constitutions of the various states they will serve. California will elect its entire rost of State Officials; one United States Senator; the entire congressional delegation; besides the selection of several municipal and county electives. San Francisco is making a strenuous drive to register qualified voters. The Federal government in the census report is expected to show a material gain in the voting population of California. There will be no excuse for non-registration. The house to house canvass and the many facilities offered has reduced the possibility of an overlook. There are many reasons for the Negro in California to pay strict attention to registration. Many insidious measures are creeping into the courts of justice that threaten the Constitutional rights of the race. The Highest Court of the land has decided against residential segregation; but the enemies of equal opportunity have selected another vehicle, called the Restrictive Covenant, to accomplish the end defeated by the segregation decision. It is pernicious in effect as it will have the tendency to discourage the ownership of property. Ownership without the power to occupy will have a disparaging effect. Such decisions will cause a far flung battle front. It will call for concentrated community effort. * * * * c. congressman from two former congresses Mississippi in the for and T. E.

Oscar DePriest, congressman from Illionis, presented to the members of the House two former congressmen—John R. Lynch, who represented the State of Mississippi in the forty-third, forthy-fourth and forty-seventh Congress, and T. E. Miller, South Carolina, who represented that State in the fifty-first Congress. Dispatches say that they were the recipients of applause. We wonder what thoughts ran through the minds of the members as they looked on the men who ably represented the people of their day: And what were the thoughts of those men when they looked around in vain for faces familiar during their term of office. Until the First Congressional district of Illinois sent its representative every other had come up from the South. It must have set some of the men from that section of the Nation to thinking. They have by intimidation and force eliminated them from representation. Shot gun methods have negatived their rights of franchise; yet there stands before them a visula potent of what was; what is, and what will come. For verily, it is written that as soon as the present crop of self-seeking panhandlers are buried, without hope of resurrection, there will be an increase in national representation for the race. * * * * running to stage a big Tobera, slain in the inville, Cal., reaches this death used as a aid that much of the attackers supplanting the Mexican is more good for him, demands good for his keep.

But doing to the standards of The Filipinos are planning to stage a big demonstration in Manila when the body of Fermin Tobera, slain in the racial riots between whites and Filipinos near Watsonville, Cal., reaches that city. Tobera will be hailed as a martyr, and his death used as a strong plea for Philippine independence. It is alleged that much of the antipathy was caused by the choice of Filipino workers supplanting the labor of the Mexican. It has been claimed that the Mexican is more tractable than the Filipino, who, though a good worker, demands good pay for his work. As well does he spend lavishly for his keep. He dresses well; many tailors catering to his taste solely. The cry that he supplants white labor is merest subterfuge. There is no call for violence in seeking to curtail their activities in the labor field. Give them the independence which they seek and treat them as all other aliens are treated. If they are classed as Orientals bar them as the orientals are barred. But don't disgrace the fair name of California by reverting to the standards of "Dixie." * * * * that huge sums of money And that in a Republic and loveliness to construe That is the sum of prohibition.

And that in a Republic which boasts to the world of its patriotism and loyalty to constituted authority. Thirty-three millions of dollars: That is the sum appropriated by Congress for the enforcement of Prohibition. That $33,000,000 is but part of the huge sum expended to force on the people something that two-thirds of them do not want in its present state. It is safe to say that save the extreme fanatics on both sides, there is not one who would vote to see the old regime of liquor as served in the past return. Not one would stand for the old cornes groggy, nor the private control of liquor. But there are millions who believe that the government could and should have such jurisdiction over the manufacture and distribution of alcoholic beverages that would eliminate the bootleger and stop the orgy of graft which threatens to undermine the structure of our government. It is time for the people to return to sanity. If near the money expended for the futile purpose of trying to enforce Prohibition had been invested in the cause of Temperance the education of the masses would now have been so far advanced that there would not have been need for worry concerning the attitude of our young people in the matter of strong drink. * * * * case will be settled in the racial status of the marriages perform The mother of Rul temporarily restrain to Ruby and Tony tion on an old state and Mongolians or Ne A very interesting case will be settled in the courts of Los Angeles. It will probably determine the racial status of the Filipino. The decision may place in jeopardy the marriages performed in California between white girls and Filipinos. The mother of Ruby Robinson, 22, secured a Superior Court injunction temporarily restraining the County Clerk from issuing a marriage license to Ruby and Tony V. Moreno, 24, a Filipino. The mother based her action on an old state law prohibiting marriages between white persons and Mongolians or Negroes. The contention of the mother is, that Filipinos are Mongolians. If you remember, the racial status of the Negro was determined by a Tennessee court decision. Seated in an audience recently we counted 97 shades; 103 different features; the complexions ranged from that of the purest "Nordic" to the deepest ebony. It was impossible to discern the difference of hair texture because of the new preparations for dressing it. In all of that vast audience there, were no two alike either in complexion or other thing, and yet, that Tennessee decision made them all Negroes. Should the courts decide that Filipinos are Mongolians the United States will have another racial problem on hand. How can Mongolians be given unlimited entry? If a man really wants to know of himself, just let him aspire for some public office or achieve something worthwhile. We venture to say that Charles Evans Hughes never knew that he was possessed of so many different characteristics as were brought out in the senate debates for and against his confirmation as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. One thing that every one had to agree on was that he was an able jurist. Borah. Norris and Brookhart were the leaders of the opposition. Brookhart in the course of a speech, said: "If the Democrats were to nominate either Borah, Idaho, or Norris, Nebraska, he would support them against Hoover." "I supported Woodrow Wilson in 1916," he said. According to the designation of party loyalty, can either of those three be tagged Republican? Is there any such "animile" as an Independent Renublican? We always have contended for the regularity of Senator Hiram Johnson. He is Progressive. The Senator has never opposed a measure or an act of the Administration just to be different. His criticism has been of a constructive. According to the political dopester Andrew Gallagher is a contender for the post of internal revenue collector. In the meantime John P. McLaughlin, backed by the labor element in San Francisco, is still in the saddle with the prospect of staving there. Since Senator Shortridge failed to place Ofsted in McLaughlin's berth rumor states that he has been slated for high position in the prohibition department. Billie Stinton, Supervisor, has an eye on the Customs House. It is doubtful whether he can displace W. B. Hamilton, the incumbent. The greatest piece of local news was the announcement of Controller Ray Riley that he had withdrawn from the race as a candidate for governor. The Controller was the first to announce his candidacy and has made quite a canvass. Political duplicity has been named as the cause for withdrawal. The candidacy of James Rolph, Jr., Mayor of San Francisco, is still in the offing. It has not yet set sail on the political waters which, as yet, show little disturbance. Buron Fitts and his political mentor, Friend W. Richardson, have not shown much activity. There is plenty of time and things will begin to happen soon. It is alleged that Ray Riley will stand for his present position. It is not known whether Stout will continue in the race or not. Many aspirants are out for the second place on the governor ticket. Edgar Levy, speaker of the Assembly, has been mentioned for the place. We hope there is nothing but political "hokum" in the assertion because there is better political future for the affable Speaker. And what about the present Governor? There is no use in him making any political promises of what he will do or what he will not do. He is attending strictly to the business for which the people elected him. His past is history and augurs for the future. His administration of the affairs of the State will be all of the campaign document that he will have to make. It is only necessary to point to what has been achieved to be assured of the future. "Cocoethes loquendi." It appears to be a fetish with some folk. We wonder if it is realized how different the oral words when seen in cold type. We feel sure that if the head of a great fraternal organization met a committee in the city of Detroit, Mich., could have seen it the words, which he is alleged to have spoken, would not have been said. It savored so much of "braggadocia." If any member of any committee gets too big for this job, or if any committee refuses to function and work in perfect harmony with the general committee, or if any heads of any lodges or temples fail to function properly and you can't do anything with them, send their names to me. I'll deal with them according to law. WHEN THEY GET TOO TOUGH FOR EVERYBODY ELSE THEY ARE JUST RIGHT FOR ME. IF THEY WON'T RESIGN, ILL RESIGN THEM. I DO BUSINESS AT 907 'U' STREET, WASHINGTON, D. C. I'm the Grand Exalted Ruler until next August and then I CHOOSE TO RUN." What some of US would like to know is. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO MINUTES OF THE GRAND LODGE SESSIONS THE TWO YEARS PAST? Many of US would like to know what goes on as there is no other means of knowing. Henry Ford, wise man, says: "I want to do all in my power to help young men of America to fit themselves into the world." He intends to invest $100,000,000 in the establishment of schools. "I intend to invest my money in my own way. I have a definite plan. Consequently I do not wish to be bothered by suggestions from persons who never made or saved a dollar, telling me how to spend a million," he said. After searching the record of Charles Evans Hughes and searching it for the probable sins of political omission and commission, the senate decided to confirm him for the U. S. Supreme Court as Chief Justice. It was a foregone conclusion that the confirmation would be made. Why the fight? Simply to allow some of the senators to relieve themselves of a little excess gas left over from the whisky debates. * * * * of Ray Riley to contest for the position he now wants to have created a panic among the other care in order; one out, another in.

The announcement of Ray Riley to contest for the position he now holds, state controller, stems to have created a panic among the other aspirants. Withdrawals are in order; one out, another in. Mrs. Clara Shortridge-Foltz, sister of Senator Samuel Shortridge, has cast her bonnet in the ring and declared her intention to contest for the honor of being the first woman to govern the State of California. It would be very polite in the Hon. James Roloh Jr., to make his bow and final exit with, "After you, my dear Mrs. Foltz." After building highways and completing unfinished work left over by a prior administration; keeping the unemployment of the state down to a minimum; the administration under Governor C. C.

A few days past a condemned murderer paid the price of his crime on the gallows. Prior to ascending the thirteen steps he had the record on the graphophone play "And I shall see Him face to face." Something unusual; they generally ask for something to jazz them up. When he stood on the trap the record was changed to "Nearer My God to Thee." We wonder if Justice demanded that, before he met his God, he would be compelled to gaze into the terror-stricken countenance of the woman he murdered. We wonder? The month of February witnessed the celebration of the founding of the A. M. E. Church by Richard Allen. African Methodists throughout the stretches of civilization and other places in process of civilization, such as the habitats of the Helfins and Bleases, paid homage to the founder of the great religious society which has been such a big factor in the progress of the American Negro. The intentions of the founders were unselfish and placed the welfare of a race above personal interest. Sorry to say, the church has, to a great extent, prostituted the charge placed in the keeping and in the grasp for material things lost sight of the spiritual. FOR FUR INDUSTRY A Silver Fox is a small animal about the size of an average 'Suitz dog. It is commonly supposed to be a "sport" or "color phase" of the Red Fox. between a black Fox? These are the same Silver Fox? black. Fox? handed hairs and on its fur a silky are not Plan Scholarships For Negroes (By: A. N. P.) What is the difference between a Silver Fox and a Silver Black Fox? There is no difference. These are just two names applied to the same animal. What is the color of the Silver Fox? The color of the fur is black. Why is it called a Silver Fox? Because of the Silver banded hairs sprinkled across its hips and on its back. These hairs give the fur a silver gray appearance. They are not white hairs as commonly supposed, but are really Black hairs with a silver band around the middle of the individual hair—For this reason it is impossible to imitate a Silver Fox fur. Hence its great value. Why is there so much money to be made in raising Silver Foxes? Because the foxes are cheap to feed, they raise a litter once a year, the puppies are very easy to raise, and their pelts find a ready market at high prices. Will Silver Fox furts always be in demand? Mayor C. M. Lampson, Jr. member of the firm of Lampson and company of London and New York, the oldest fur house in the world, stated recently: "Because of the increased demand during the past three auctions, the pelt prices have averaged 20. per cent higher than previous sales. We could easily dispose of 10.000 Silver Fox pelts within two days. Since there are only 15.000 live Silver Foxes in the United States it is plain that the point of starvation is far away; ni fact, it will never come." This shows that the demand for Silver Foxes is greater than the supply, hence their great value. Dr. J. T. Whittaker is the organizer of the Crown Silver Black Fox Company. It is the only Negro industry of its kind in the world. For further information address Dr. J. T. Whittaker, 575 N. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena, California. Phone TErrace 5956. (By: A. N. P.) Jackson, Miss., Feb. 18.—The Southern Extension Conference at the close of their annual meeting here announced tentative plans for an experiment in Negro education and voted to meet in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1931. Two scholarships to each of the colored institutions in five southern states—North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia—are to be offered students, and if results are gratifying the plan is to include Mississippi in the scholarship offer within two years, according to J. A. Evans, regional director of the South, and assistant chief in the office of co-operative extension work. United States department of agriculture. The extension workers pledged to the federal farm board their co-operation in the educational work which is to be undertaken in the farm aid program. Mr. and Mrs. R. O.

Stand up and tell the public That colored children are unfit, To join with other children, In a public benefit. Then you are on the road, To receive great public applause, From those who may desire To change the segregation laws. The black advocates of segregation, Are a sly and foxy groupe; They wear the mask of hypocryc; To deception they freely stoop. Some of our kept leaders, Demand Jim Crow Public schools; And secretly demand segregation, In the public swimming pools. If these Jim Crow Negro leaders, Suffering with dysentery of the mouth; Are lonesome without segregation They should return to the South. Return to the sentry southland, With their Uncle Tom devotions. Their inferiority complex minds, And segregation notions. Lord, purge our race of hypocrites And set our vision straight; Free our minds of prejudice, Deceit, suspicion and hate. Appoint Negro Supervisor for Chicago Census District Appoint Negro Supervisor for Chicago Census District (Bv: A. N. P.) Chicago, Feb. 17.—Henry M. Porter, former assistant state's attorney, will supervise the taking of the census among the bulk of Chicago's colored population, according to an announcement made Monday that he had been offered and had accepted the appointment, made on the recommendation of United States Senator Charles S. Deneen. Mr. Porter will be assigned, as far as can be ascertained now, to the Eighth District, which comprises the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Eleventh Wards, which include the congressional district of Congressman Oscar DePriest. Mr. Porter is a native of Texas and a graduate of the University of Michigan. For eight years he was in the state's attorney's office, under Robert E. Crowe, resigning in 1927, to take up the private practice of law. Later he ran on the Deneen ticket as a candidate for municipal judge, but failed of election. He is regarded as an able lawyer, a public-spirited citizen, and is admired by his colleagues in the profession for his affable, gentlemanly bearing. This is the first time in the history of the United States Census Bureau that a Negro has been appointed a supervisor. It is an indication that the Bureau of Census under the direction of William M. Stewart is desirous of seeing that Negro enumeration is correctly taken this year. Negro advisors are being named in various sections of the country where the colored population is densest. The Census of 1920 is said to have been imperfectly taken insofar as Negroes concerned. Walter F. George, senator from Georgia, directed the Census of 1920. Fact Finders to Study Economic Situation Durham, N. C. Feb. 18.-Dr. J. H. Shepard, president of the Fact Finding Conference, announced here Tuesday that the annual Fact-Finding Conference would be held here April 16 to 18 inclusive. "The conference," said Dr. Shepard, "will this year make a special study of the economic condition of our group. This is one of the most important phase of the life of the group and it is generally understood that at the present time the economic condition of the Negro is in a state which might be termed deplorable. How to help secure Better Business and more job for workers will be the theme. We shall bring some of the leading students of economics to this conference to analyze the cause and to devise a remedy." This will be the third annual Fact-Finding Conference, and a record-breaking attendance is expected.

Dynamite Jackson though playing to a larger colored audience at the Olympic on Tuesday, did not have half the following he should have had. BUM SPORTS, wise crackers and Loud Speakers, who only attend a sporting event when a celebrity is in action, get this under your unworthy hides. If you turned out in numbers it would make it easier for your papers to prove both in politics and business that 25,000 Negroes in a city are to be reckoned with. And they are but a frequent demonstration of the fact would mean a lot. Mr. Silas Masters always has welcomed colored fight fans and fighters, Carlo Curtis and Morie Cohn the same; Leo Neuman announces that fact for the new arena and even at Hollywood, which does not use colored boxers as yet, makes the colored fan welcome and as comfortable as the other races. TENNIS TOURNEY AND GREAT STREET RACE Everyone who ever swung a tennis racket should enter the tennis meet being staged by the California Eagle and every boy who has ever ran to or from anything should get in on the money and prizes hung up for the Eagle's second annual street race. It is strictly a non-profit event being staged only to promote, increase, and encourage the interest of the young people in healthful athletic sports which is receiving the attention of the leading races of the world. QUARANTINE THE GYMS! Something should be done to quarantine the public gymnasiums against the noxious pests who day after day hang around them taking up room, and trying by hook, or crook, (mostly crook) to extract a few quarters and halves from green preliminary boys who at best are not making enuf to soothe the bruises from the hard battles they make as they try to fight their way up to fame and the privilege to stall and pick their opponents as a headliner can. There are several Breeds of this animal; false friends who are with a guy while he's winning only; gold-brick salesmen who play upon the young fighter's kindness and his liability to buy anything. The worst of all the fake publicity "impressario," who with a partial or pretended connection with some publicity medium promises to make the poor gullible little "unknown" famous in a day, if he will decorate his lazy palm with two bits or something. Of course publicity is necessary and is worth money, but high-class newspapermen or genuine publicity experts do not hang around gyms. They visit them occasionally, get their impressions and beat it, leaving plenty of fresh air for the striving athlete and more clean room for the aggravated and long suffering gym owner.

WANTED-0 Experienced Chorus Girls Apex Club Apply at Once The gallery gods started the well known Bronx cheer at the Eastside arena Monday night, but they were razzing Mario and not Sammy Jackson, who bored in constantly and won the ten round main event. Matty Mario, seasoned heavy hitting Easterner, was plenty dangerous at all times and socked hard but elected to wait and counter punch the colored boy at. At that there was plenty of action with Sammy taking every round but the sixth. They started off with a rush. Mario busily engaged in chewing a big ball of cotton and watching to put over a haymaker, and Sammy stepping round shooting from all angles. But near the end of the sixth the colored star ran into a left hook and local fans saw him dropped for their first time. He was up with the bell and on to Matty but the bell ended the round. Starting with the sixth, Jackson started to cut down Mario's lead. He took the sixth seventh and eighth. Before the start of the ninth round, Referee Abe Roth warned Mario to open up.
