California Eagle

ON THE SIDEWALK BY C. A. B. WE ARE PUBLISHING elsewhere in these columns an article from the pen of Nannie Burroughs in which she suggests that Negroes hold but one convention this year—"A Job Finding Convention." Of all the advice, whether through the medium of pen or word, we consider this the most logical of all and say, take heed, ye midnight ramblers, lodge night hawks, overtime outing seekers and "OUR-SOCIAL SET" sycophants. Take heed, remember that you are setting the pace for those who come after you—your sons and daughters. According to figures compiled by the National Urban League, there are 330,000 unemployed Negroes in the United States. FLORENCE MESSENGER of Friday, March 7, published an article under the caption: "Interesting Board Meeting Held by Florence C. of C" (Chamber of Commerce). One paragraph of said article read thus: "Mr. Caslin, a member of the Florence Chamber of Commerce, spoke against the proposed extension of the "U" line from Shaunson avenue to Merrill avenue. This would necessitate the people using that car going through the colored district. It was moved and seconded that the secretary forward a resolution to the Los Angeles Street Railway-Corporation protesting against the proposed extension of the "U" car line. "The people now served with the "S" line are satisfied with the present service and do not wish to be connected with the "U" line. Our community is strictly white and intends to remain white. This was carried unanimously." And yet there are those among us who tell us to sit supinely by and say nothing about the injustices heaped upon us from time to time. They say that protecting but calm attention to these grievances in a fashion that affects our welfare to greater disadvantage. Well, to our way of thinking, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and so long as there are small community papers dedicated to the cause of keeping Negroes out of certain sections and Chambers of Commerce, such as the one at Florence, that are willing to take time to call the attention of the. Railway. Corporation to the fact that they don't even want Negroes to ride through their section, just so long will we lift our voices against such proscription. It's white, says the whites of Florence, speaking of what they call our section, and we don't want any dark clouds on our horizon, not even to pass through as passengers on a street. Car. Ye God's, what are we coming to? Well, Negroes, watch the actions of the Railway Corporation in this matter. There is only one way to slap back and that way is through the medium of the ballot, but you will have to keep your ears to the grass roots to know when and how to do it. THE EFFORT that is being made by Mesdames Hill and Hulbert to organize the women in a Republican Study Club apparently is meeting with a hearty approval of the women generally. The laftest child born into this organization is the one at San Pedro which came into being, Wednesday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. Lee at which time, Mrs. P. M. Werner, wife of City Attorney P. M. Werner, Mrs. A. Hill, Dr. Elzor Gibson, Dr. Vada Somerville, Mrs. Corrine Smith and Ye Seribe, journeyed down to the harbor city and helped the San Pedro women launch this organization, which through the medium of study and application, will no doubt keep them acquainted with civic and political issues affecting their city and state governments. ON LAST SUNDAY evening, Rev. Bob Shulter opened his Prelude Questioning with Asa Keyes as his headline. Those who listened to Mr. Shulter were interested in his diagnosis of the Keyes' case, for said the famous elergyman, in part, "Asa Keyes was a victim of the social system in which he lived. I do not believe that he ever took bride when in his right mind, for he said to a friend, while incarcerated in the city jail; I do not know what I did when under the influence of drink, so if I ever took the bribe of which I am accused, I certainly was not aware of my act at the time." But, said Mr. Shulter further, "society is not responsible for the ex-district attorney's unlawful acts while in public office, and I believe that he should pay the price that he is paying." IN A TONE of litigation, Mr. Shulter softened to the extent that he was able to inject into his hard boiled discussion a rather pathetic word picture (Continued On Page Three.) 1 CAR AND ARRAY OF OTHER AWARDS TO BE GIVEN THOSE WHO PLACE IN CAMPAIGN HERE CALIFORNIA EAGLE'S SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN GAINS MOMENTUM AS CANDIDATES SWING INTO ACTION From coupon to car. Neither a long step or a difficult one. But one requiring attention and persistence. You can make the step if you have pep, push and personality. One of the handsome prizes offered in the big circulation drive can be yours if you choose to take advantage of the opportunity offered you in the California Eagle prize campaign which is just starting. FAMOUS WASHINGTON POLICE SERGEANT RETURNS NO-TORIOUS CRIMINAL With a long series of escapes predicted to be at an end Clinto nT. Flannigan is on his way across the continent in the custody of Detective Sergeant Paul W. Lopes for 26 years The contestants in the big circulation building campaign are lining up at the post, in this interesting exciting and profitable campaign and will all share in the awards to be distributed April 26—the only loosers in this campaign will be the ones that stay out. Someone in this community will win the Essex Sedan. Why not make it your drive? Or someone will have a wonderful vacation trip with the $500. in gold—either one can be yours if you have the "state of mind" to step out and earn one of them for yourself by just a few weeks earnest, active work. What you have to do to try for one of these liberal gifts is to ask your friends and acquaintances to subscribe to the California Eagle. Each subscription you turn in earns thousands of votes for you and the more you get the more votes you earn. Votes are what counts. All it takes is a little spare time and ambition. There are several people in Los Angeles and vicinity who have the time and ambition. Why not earn something with your spare time. Now is the time to get started. The campaign is just getting under way. It is always two or three weeks between the time a campaign is announced and the time that prospective candidates start active work. What you can accomplish now while the field is wide open for you will give you a substantial lead over any others who do not start an active campaign at once. But an earnest word to the candidates is in order right now. The time for securing subscriptions is now while the largest number of votes to be given on subscriptions is in effect, for your chances of winning one of the leading prizes depends on what you accomplish during the first period in this campaign. And now a word to our readers. Each and every one of you have a favorite in this campaign if you have not a favorite—nominate one.

Knox, well known realty man and builder of Watts, and Dr. Ralph W. E. Bledsoe, nationally known figure in recent discovery of Parrot Disease, filed damage suits against the Largo Theatre in Watts, Calif. in the Municipal Court of Los Angeles, through the Law Offices of Lewis K. Beeks, their counsel. Mr. Knox and Dr. Bledsoe, we feel deserve the unanimous support of every colored person in Los Angeles, because the success of these suits will mean the checking of the fast growing "Jim Crow" habit not only in Watts but elsewhere in Los Angeles. FAMOUS WASHINGTON POLICE SERGEANT RETURNS NO. TORIOUS CRIMINAL With a long series of escapes predicted to be at an end Clinto nT. Flannigan is on his way across the continent in the custody of Detective Sergeant Paul W. Jones, for 26 years service man in the Capitol Police Department. Flannigan along with other crimes, is charged with escape from Lorton Reformatory in the Washington suburbs. He is stamped as a notorious, dangerous crook of national reputation, and was arrested here by Officer B. Ayers. Sergeant Jones is one of the most highly valued men in the service there, and while here renewed old friendship with Officer J. L. Kimbrough. The two were buddies at the officers' training camp at Des Moines, Iowa, in preparation for duty in France during the World War. OUR OWN SONG BIRD AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE THE LIFE OF MARY C. BURTON MISS JUANITA PATTON When Lucky Days, the wonderful musical comedy opens on stupendous scale at the Lincoln Theatre, March 24th, is presented to the public they will see as its prima donna a home town girl—Miss Juanta Patton. Miss Patton has risen to fame already as a concert and radio artist, but needless to say, she will add many, more laureals to the highly respected name of Patton during her appearances at the beautiful, Central Avenue show house. Of a talented family, she showed great musical promise as a child and at the age of four, began stage life, as a singing and dancing team with her highly accomplished brother, Malcolm, now deceased. Attracted by their versatility Mrs. Elfinor Scott Whipple formed a trio with them and the three appeared before many audiences together. For the last three years this young lady's beautiful voice has been heard over radio K.-F.-R.-C, at San Francisco, rendering Spanish programs and has also been engaged in radio work here regularly since her return. The concert stage being her forte, she has appeared many times at local musicals, concerts, benefits, and her own recitals. Miss Patton is a graduate of Manual Arts High School, and U.C. L. Normal (BY MENTIS CARRERE) In the last two issues of the California Eagle I have shown how the masses of Europe have improved their economic condition by a sensible control or distribution, production, and marketing of the necessities of life. I pointed out to you the fact that this system of control, known as the Consumer Co-Operative Movement, was started in Bochdale, England in 1844 with a nucleus of twenty-eight weavers, and today this nucleus has increased to millions, doing business to the extent of billions of dollars annually. I also made mention of the fact that the same movement had made considerable progress in North America among certain immigrants and Jews. In many places the economic condition of the European masses is identical with the economic condition of the American Negro. On the other hand the American Negro is discounted as a citizen by our various municipal and state governments, and to some extent, by the United States Government, in addition to the common hardships of earning a living. This condition should afford the American Negro greater opportunity for economic development, because there is more incentive for organized action. However, if organized action means anything at all to a people affected as are the American Negroes, it means organization for the control of the production, marketing, and distribution of what we consume. If the race organizate to obtain its citizenship rights and does not make the proper effort to gain at least a DR. A. P. SHAW AT HAMILTON Dr. J. B. F. Shaw, Ph. D., Director of the State Labor Bureau, 32nd and Central Avenue, will preach at Hamilton M. E. Church, 18th and Naomi Avenue, Sunday at 11 A. M., March 23rd. You are Cordially Invited to Come and Hear Dr. Shaw. He is a Man with a Message. Leon Whitaker to Be Honored As a fitting tribute to his industry, ability, personality, integrity, and success, Leon Whitaker, recently sworn in as Deputy District Attorney of Los Angeles County, is to be accorded a grand banquet. The affair, planned to be one of the most elaborate ever held in this city, is to take place on the evening of April 16, 1930, at the Second Baptist Church. The fete is in honor of Mr. Whitaker, and is being tendered him by the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and a large citizens committee. Leon Whitaker is a product of the scholarship of our young people; and it is peculiarly appropriate, in this connection, that the process from this banquet are to be used to swell the Popularity Contest Benefit Scholarship Loan Fund of the California Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Several of the finest speakers available among the guest of honor, Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker, will address the assembly. Also, there will be much divine furnished by the famous Band conducted by Mr. Curtis Mosby, and other well known artists. NEW YORK, Mar. 16-By A.N.P. One of the most aggravating incentives to racial hatred and riots is the continued abuse of any racial group. Picking the most dangerous plaything in the city as their vehicle, some prejudiced person has started a would-be witty campaign by adding to the inscriptions posted in the Subway trains. One of the signs posted in each car reads: "Put the Rubbish cans to Work" to keep the city clean. Monday, on car No. 3751 of the I. R. T. 7th Ave., 145th Street Local, which caters almost exclusively to colored passengers, the would-be funny person has added to the sign by writing in front of the word "Cans" the prefix, "Afri", making the sign read, "Put the Rubbish Africans to Work." During the past year, several racial clashes have been precipitated in the subway adding to the dangers of travel. It is no fun to be caught in a brawl while a train is speeding forty miles an hour in an underground tunnel. Most of the fights have been because of seats where fickle minded whites object to colored passengers sitting while white people stand. Sailors on U. S. war vessels were the culprits in two instances, while the other occasions were of different races involved. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Mr. Hardon, it will be remembered is the young man with whom Roland Hayes was so impressed, after hearing him sing, that he advised him to study with the late Arthur J. Hubbard of Boston, his own former teacher. Mr. Hubbard too, became personally interested and predicted a brilliant future for this young man. Since then Mr. Hardon has appeared in recitals throughout the East where eminent critics have acclaimed him. Los Angeles is favored in having the opportunity of hearing him Thursday evening, March 27th, 8:15 o'clock, at Patriotic Hall, 1816 South Figueroa Street, Tickets $1.00, 75 cents.

SLASHES AND STARS VICTIM VICIOUSLY While the other players in a pool room at 25th and Compton looked on horrified, Van Ridley, 1526 Falomares st. carved and stabbed J. B. Fagt 1240 E. 34th St. until he is lying at General Hospital in a dangerous condition. The two men are said to have quarreled over a game. Ridley was arrested by Clark and Conway and will be tried March 25 in Div. 3. BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS (For Associated Negro Press) Unemployment among Negroes throughout the country is on the increase. Jobs that were ours, have gone to machines, gone to white people, or gone out of style. We are not going to get them back. We will have to make some new jobs. Do not waste too much time discussing the cause. If you want to know the whole truth we are the cause of entirely too much of this loss of occupations. We did not improve; we were too unreliable; we were too wasteful, we had to get off often "to tend to a little business"; we had to attend too many funerals; we were too independent; we gave too many of our employers pieces of our minds; we overdressed; we got rich and bought cars and showed off; we talked too much and too loud all over the place and in public carriers. We told the world how we treated our employers. White people got tired of it. They got to thinking it over. TIMES ARE TIGHT While we are laying off, talking big and laying them out, they were pooling their brains and their money. As a result they have produced all kinds of machines and labor-saving devices. Now they are pressing buttons and getting their work done while we are pressing bricks and getting our shoes worn out. They are sitting pretty and making money while we are sitting distressed and making complaints. We brought a whole lot of this upon ourselves. Unless Negroes get down to brass tacks and use their brains "it ain't half as bad as it's gwine to be." Our occupations are gone. The only thing that is left for us to do is to stop some things, and start some other things. WASTE ON FUNERALS First—Cut out waste of time, money and hot air. We keep our hard working people up too late in lodge rooms, churches and dance halls. Negroes are burying too much money. It is time to popularize inexpensive funerals. Negroes have too many church funerals. A church show costs more than a home funeral. Too many Negroes get off to attend funerals in which they have no interest other than morbid curiosity. Our "Spect" for the dead costs more than our Respect for the living. Funerals among Negroes are expensive things when you count the cost of what is put into the ground and paid for gas and the time we put in reviewing the remains—the latter has cost many of us our jobs. Sometimes the worse the man, the bigger the turn out at the funeral. Let's stop it. Negro fraternal organizations should pool their money and convert some frozen assets or one of their old dead-weight halls into a huge factory and make all their regalia, uniforms and supplies. That business combination alone would give employment to several thousand capable men and women. A business combination can be formed if the heads of Negro fraternal organizations would only look at their opportunity from an unselfish point of view and "Stop getting theirs" long enough to help their loyal and devoted followers. It is time for Negro organizations to use less money on funerals and more on fundamentals. Cut out unnecessary show and build some shops. We have spent millions for vulgar display and those from whom we buy our stuff count the beckles and look at us and laugh at our folly. Negro leaders have any sense at all, so is the time for them to show it. WOULD TURN TO FARM Another way to help is to go back to the farm. Laborers who have large families and are out of employment in cities like Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Can cinnati, should go back to the farms and go to work. They certainly can raise enough to live on and get a plenty of fresh air and save their children from the demoralizing influences of overcrowded lodging houses. The Negro health record is bad. Our convention season—the most worthless luxury for which the masses pay—will soon open. Several million dollars will go to railroads and big cars. Not for real business, but for show, to rival the Jones, that's all. At hard-pressed as we are—without jobs, our homes for sale, our churches bankrupt, our schools dead broke and on the verge of collapse—our leaders are going to comb the country for nickles and dimes and throw away our last dollar gasing around, dispensing her air at the expense of the jobless masses. The whole race would be better if we hold only one convention this year. That should be "A Job Finding Convention." Only the heads of every convention or one of its representatives who has vision and constructive ideas should be allowed to attend. We do not need too much talk now. Superintend of City Schools to Speak Frank A. Bouelle, superintendent of the Los Angeles Public schools will be the principal speaker Sunday evening, March 23rd at the Second Baptist church, 24th and Griffith avenue. Mr. Bouelle has not made mention of his subject for the evening but it is promised that his address will be of great interest to everyone. Every person who is interested in our present school system as well as being interested in the educational welfare of the youth should be present Sunday evening and manifest interest. The public is cordially invited to be present in order that we may give Mr. Bouelle a great welcome. Man Gets Two Years in Attack on Girl 13 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Mar. 17 By A.N.P.—Harry Youn, a Chinese, was convicted on a criminal assault charge before Judge Smathers Wednesday, and sentenced to two years in state prison. The charge was made by parents of Rrmeca Taylor, 13-year-old Vineland girl. According to testimony, the girl disappeared from a home in Millville in which she was working and came to Atlantic City where she obtained employment in a Chinese restaurant.

Eggleston, 1352 East 112th street has been ill several days at her home, having had her tonsils removed. She is much improved at this writing. A rather strange thing occurred last Tuesday. It rained in a certain portion of the city of Los Angeles, while the sun was shining in South Los Angeles and there was no rain. Compton avenue, Wilmington and Central were flooded. On Compton Avenue the water came even on the sidewalks. How long will the people of this community be afflicted with this unpleasant condition? Perhaps if the citizens would get together and take this matter up with the city council, something might be done! Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rhodes are now living in their new home on E. 111th street. The home is one of the most attractive on the street. The funeral of Mr. Joseph Boyd who died Saturday, March 8th, was held at the People's Independent church Thursday, March 33th. A large number of the people of South Los Angeles attended the funeral. An entertainment called a "Modern Wedding" in which 35 children will take part will be given at Grant Chapel this Tuesday night, March 25. Indications are that a large crowd will attend this very unique entertainment. Mr. Robert Stanton and N. R. Harding went to Oakland, Calif., Sunday night after receiving word that a brother-in-law had been killed in an auto wreck and his wife seriously injured. Mrs. Mary Jones, or Oakland, Calif., was in South Los Angeles Sunday, returning from Santa Ana where she had been to visit relatives. The Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe will hold their annual sermon at Grant Chapel A. M. E. church, East 108th and Compton avenue this Sunday night, March 23. Dr. T. F. Jones will preach the sermon. Mr. E. Adams, who lives at 2114 E. 113 street is home from the hospital where he went for treatment after being hit by an automobile en route to work several weeks ago. He received rather sever injuries, but is improving. A JOK BAILEY In this age of machinery with its rush and careless disregard of human life, the odds are very great against those that take a chance. Conservative statics show that one out of every ten deaths in the United States are the result of an accident, that 1500 accidents occur every day, and that automobiles alone kill more than 15,000 people each year. According to the National Health Council, sickness costs the people of this country $900,000,000 a year in lost wages alone, and that more people are kept idle by accidental injury than through lack of employment. The sole support of most wage earners and their families is their salary. The amount of that salary is the earning power of that individual, the most valuable asset that he or she possesses and under the modern scheme that asset is inurable.

Our own country along with others will be in the constant strain of unrest, coping with lawlessness, etc., just as long as it falls to do justice to even its weakest component part. How in the world can a country expect tranquility and peaceful conditions when it openly condones the infraction of part of its law and constitution and votes millions to support another. Pertinent indeed to the situation is one of the fairest editorials which we have ever read, which is from the Los Angeles Daily News of the 19th inst., which we reproduce herewith: "One reads with amazement a decision just banded down by the supreme court of North Carolina depriving Negroes of the right to travel in public busses. Operated under the control and direction of the state corporation commission, these vehicles are now closed to the colored Carolinians. They will remain closed, no doubt, until such time as the officials of North Carolina are as punctilious in enforcing the fourteenth amendment as they are in insisting that the people of other states observe the eighteenth. In language obviously clear and unmistakable, the fourteenth amendment prescribes that "no state shall make or enforce any law which will abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States." It took bitter years of war following a rebellion to establish the fact that the Negro is a citizen of the United States with all the privileges of the white citizen. Evidently North Carolina reserves for herself the right to reverse the constitution in accordance with the personal prejudices of those who elect the judges of her supreme court. It is time that every unit of government within the United States which stands as a world exemplar of liberty and equality insisted upon one law for rich and poor, for high and low, for citizens of every creed and color. "Nothing is so destructive to society as unjust discrimination. The very basis of good government is the recognition of the equal rights of all its citizens. It is impossible to inculcate the observance of one law while ignoring or nullifying another and any profession of sincerity in regard to law enforcement is false and shallow when it is poisoned with so palpable an instance of injustice as the biggest court of North Carolina displays." The 1929 Legislature created a Commission of fifteen members whose purpose is to examine the Constitution of California, and the Constitutions of the other states of the union, to make a careful study of the need for revision of the Constitution of this state, and to submit to the governor, for transmission to the legislature, in January of next year, a full and complete report of its investigations, examinations and findings with recommendations, relating to matters of revising the present Constitution of California, and also with a draft of a model Constitution for the consideration of the legislature, or of any constitutional convention hereafter held. On Tuesday, February 4, 1930, the governor announced the personnel of the Commission. Fifteen men, all prominent in the several activities of the commonwealth, compose it. At the first meeting of this very important body in Los Angeles, on February 12, 1930, the Governor delivered a short address, in which he emphasized the responsibility of the Commission, and indicated that it represented nearly all of the several social and economic elements in the state. While the Negro does not voluntarily differentiate himself from other American Citizens, and, although he considers his general social and economic interests identical with those of the other citizens of California, nevertheless, because driven to the wall, as it were, and involuntarily and for defense measures only, he is forced to look upon himself, from a group viewpoint, and for certain purposes of self-preservation, as a distinct social element. The question, then, arises, in contemplation of this vital undertaking, in which so much of civil rights is involved, who, among the personnel of this Commission, represents, or represent, the Negro, and who among it, will safeguard his interests, and protect him from the ever-menacing enemies of his advancement in this civilization? The answer to the question is dependent very largely upon a study of the men who make up the Commission, their personal histories, and their attitudes toward social and economic questions. So, therefore, granting the propriety of considering ourselves, for some purposes of defense, as a distinct social and economic element, we are forced to answer the question, are we represented? To do this, while the Commission is studying the general problem of revision, we must study both the general problem and the Commission. Now or never is the spirit displayed by the members of our group in marshalling these forces for a better tohold upon the economic situation as it exists today. Many have been convinced they must themselves be a part and parcel in the creation of a more stable economic foundation. As a matter of fact for their progeny they must provide the way. They have also found out by co-operation and organized effort, that the accomplishment is easy, indeed and are ready, willing and impatient to be on their way in the mission of self-helpfulness. They have decided to wait not, for somebody to give them something and realize the time has long since past for anybody to even hope for others to give you of their store, also they know full well if they get anywhere it must be by their very own effort. With this decision to make clerks, salesmen and stenographers, etc., they sure must have business houses and business is created by trade. Therefore trade and do business with the firms which will employ your own boys and girls and you will solve very easily the question of economic progress. BETTER BUSINESS ETHICS It is a wholesome sign of the fines that business and professional men are much concerned over the ethics of their own particular occupations. Many trade associations, service clubs and other commercial bodies have compilations on business standards and printed codes of ethics to guide their members. Colleges and universities offer lecture courses on the subject books are being written on it and there are organizations backed to the improvement of standards of business conduct. However, the results are not impressed by mere organization or printed codes, standards and platforms. It judges the ethics of a bus- experience that merchants, especially, are doing more than talking about service. Modern business has learned that "honesty is the best policy" and that "he profits most who serves best." And it matters little to the consumer whether business is rendering better service for purely selfish reasons or because it has become morally conscious. Profits are a worthy, honorable goal, but if they are the only aim of business, then the commercial system is doomed. And it follows naturally that, since the commercial system shows no evidence of decay, profits are not the one and only goal of modern business. It is astonishing how slow many people are in getting acquainted. Not merely do strangers find it hard to make friends, but old-time residents will not speak to each other. People may meet each other perfectly and would like to get acquainted, but they have not been introduced. These unbending people may be charming in their own circles and full of kind thoughts toward others. Their attitude does not necessarily mean that they are proud. It frequently comes from an exaggerated feeling of propriety or bashfulness, an idea that they will be considered forthputting if they disregard strict etiquet. A town where this spirit exists has a cold pall of distance stifling its people. They cannot form friendships they need for their own welfare and the development of the community. People get false ideas of each other and look on each other as haughty. They draw back in their own little shells, and no neighborly spirit is developed. It is a good rule here in Los Angeles when two men or two women have met each other enough so they know each other by sight to get acquainted. As isolated strangers they are an obstacle to the unity of the city. When they get to know each other, and discuss their common interests, they become good neighbors and a force for community progress. THE EDITORIAL There are some newspapers scattered around over the country that have no editorial department, but they are simply commercial sheets devoted to advertising and other sources of revenue. They have no opinions of their own, and therefore no need to express them. The journalist who does nothing but paddle along with public opinion, is of no value. Every newspaper worthy of the name should aspire to be of the utmost service and help to its community. It can only do this if it directs the thought of the community and helps to crystalize public sentiment on worthy objects. The editor cannot make himself a force for good in the community unless he expresses his convictions through his paper. It is through the editorial column that he gives character to the paper. Papers with an outstanding editorial policy that are fair in their editorials, clear and able on the issues before the people, do wield an influence over other editors, and in that way multiply their power for good. The editor of a weekly newspaper, because he is known to a great majority of his readers, has the rare opportunity to be a leader for all that is good in his community. If he would measure up to what is expected of him, if he would be the power for good that he should be in his community, he will make his impress every week in the editorial column of his paper. The late bird catches the sleep. A low moral aim oft will hit the dollar mark. Many persons are able to beat opportunity knotking. Having to swallow insults is hard on a man's digestion. Money may get a man into trouble, but it is usually more helpful in getting him out. Golfers and woodpeckers are the only birds using their heads to get into the hole. News item: "Man hits mate on head with bowl when she bids no trump on hand of thirteen diamonds." The self-restraint of some husbands passeth all understanding. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON The Commission appointed by President Hoover to straighten out the affairs of the Haitian Republic has recommended a provisional president until such time as the election of a president as provided by the Haitian Constitution. There is a deep-seated feeling averse to the present incumbent, Borno, and also to the further rule of General Russell and his Marines. The committee seems to have carried out the instructions and wishes of President Hoover, and studied the political condition of the Republic as well as gaining first hand information concerning the wishes of the people. President Borno was not in favor of a provisional president and after giving his word of compliance sought to retract. The commission warned him that it would not be responsible for any act which would be harmful to him personally, or for any uprising of a revolutionary character. It was only after this ultimatum that Borno consented to stand by his word acquiescing to a provisional president. There are several names eligible for the office, among them former President Legitime, who, because of his advanced years, might not be considered. He is near 90 years of age. Edmond Lespinasse, who has held a natural attitude in all of the controversies, and Emanuel Theart, who presides over the Supreme Court. It is believed that either of those men would be acceptable to the Haitian electorate until such time as an election can be held with fairness to all. The Hoover commission has gone right to the core of the trouble and has sifted the chaff from the wheat. It will not be long before their duties are complete, and when finishd, we expect to see the end of military rule in the Republic established by L'Overture. William Chisholm is the 17-year old youth selected by Congressman Gavagan to take the examination for the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis in April. Chisholm is a freshman at Columbia University, and before entrance there has held a record for excellent scholarship through the elementary schools and Junior High School, No. 139. Word comes to us that aside from his scholastic atttainmetns he has a good physique and fine personality. He says that he has no fear of not passing the severe tests of the examination. "I know that I can pass my work," he says. If William Chisholm can pass the examination and hold his own against the prejudiced tactics and affronts that will be dealt out to him; if he can surmount the obstacles that will be placed in his pathway and survive the ordeal of social ostracism which will be practiced; we say, should he overcome all of these and graduate from the Academy a full-fledged Ensign, then we will believe verily that in this, the United States of America, we have the embryo of a Negro Admiral. We believe that William Chisholm has the essential qualities as well as the attinmetns. as the assurance. knew of the accomplishment. Twice elected to the Legislature of West Virginia he accomplished the task of having passed the bills creating an industrial school for colored boys, and one other of like for colored girls. An insane hospital for colored beside assisting to secure an appropriation of some $4,000,000 for colored institutions. T. Gillis Nutter was three terms elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. Those were the days when men served for honor and not for pelf. Those were the days when fraternalism was spelled with a capital F. This writer has more than a speaking acquaintance with T. Gillis Nutter and no other one feels more proud of his attainments and the eventful reward therefor. Was it not Booker T. Washington who said: "Negro blood must be very powerful if ONE DROP will make a man or woman a Negro while a flood of white blood cannot make him or her white"? Memory may be playing us a trick, but we believe that it was he. At any rate, the Governor of Virginia, Pollard, must think so, because he, has recently signed the bill enacted by the Virginia legislature, termed the Racial Integrity Bill, which declares the potency of Negro blood and says that any persons having one drop of Negro blood is classified as a Negro and shall be subject to such laws as are enacted to govern the racial units of the state. But, boy! Won't they have some time classifying Who's Who? Think of the years illegitimate intercourse between the sexes when slavery was legal in Virginia! What of the women coerced to perform the duties of morganic wives until the blood of the concubine Negro slave woman was so mixed with the blood of her white master that it was a task to separate the "wheat from the chaff." Some of them became so WHITE that when the emancipation of the slave became a fact they passed over into the "Nordic" class and carried that "one drop of Negro blood" with them. If that one drop is so potent that it classifies a race it has lost not of its efficacy. In order to be sure that there is not one "teeny weeny" drop of that potent fluid flowing in the veins of ary of Virginia's F. F. V's, it would be good policy to have blood tests made compulsory by legislative enactment. The name of Judge James A. Cobb who succeeded the late- judge Terrel, deceased, as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, has been sent to the senate by President Hoover for reappointment. Judge Cobb has made an excellent record during his encumliancy, he was appointed in March, 1926, and will no doubt be confirmed without any trouble. Addressing an audience in the forum greeting held in the Y. M. C. A. building, Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of North Carolina said; "Slavery placed a stigma upon the Negro woman which sixty years of freedom have been unable to remove. And being regarded as an inferior being, the Negro woman cannot as yet accept the modern vices of the white woman. For strange as it sounds, the Negro woman is regarded as inferior to her white sister, and yet more is expected of her than of the women of any other race." Mrs. Brown is the president of Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, North Carolina, and is known also as one of the energetic outstanding women of the Negro race, ever on the alert to do or to say something which will tend to raise the sex of her race to higher standards she speaks something which will tend to raise the sex of her race to higher standards she speaks fearlessly. The tendency to "ape" is one of the obstacles which hinders the mental and material progress of the mass. If we have a moderate success in any endeavor the first thing is to buy two or three automobiles and trust up the street while the chauffeur follows behind. The white woman can afford to give gin parties and drink to excess. The Negro woman has the finger of scorn pointed at her for aping. She is at once branded as dissolute. No! Mrs. Brown is right; the time has not come that the Negro woman can be other than modest and refined. Apparently the fertile field of Negro life has only been rattled by the authors. Just when there seems to be a surfeit of "hillelujahs" "Hearts in Dixie" and such others as musical comedies, "Shuffle Along" "Black Birds" of the Jazz type; theatrical goers, blaze as they are are thrilled with the religious drama, "The Green Pastures." Rark Bradford's "Ol Man Adam and His Chillun" has been dramatized and placed on Broadway by Marc, Connolly. A cast of about 120 actors headed by Richard B. Harrison, dramatic reader, give an all-Negro interpretation to the drama and it has caused such stir in the ranks of the critics as few productions have enjoyed. All of the criticisms of the noted dramatic and musical criterions of the playhouse have joined in giving praise to the actors for their interpretations of the varied parts. Many here on the Pacific Coast remember Richard Harrison who spent a number of years in Los Angeles and the Bay Cities. As a dramatic reader Harrison was always ready to respond to the churches who olicited his services and was a favorite in the rendition of the late Paul Dunbar's poems. The writer has been asked quite frequently why most of the authors of Negro life were white. Did you ever know a mn. who was afraid to see humor in his own idiocycracies? We are afraid to write about ourselves, truly. Thomas W. Fleming, former councilman, Cleveland, Ohio, must serve his sentence of 2 years, 9 months in the Ohio State Penitentiary for accepting a brake. So ruled the Supreme Court of that State, March 5th. Thomas Fleming was a noted figure in the civic life of Cleveland. His activities in fraternal circles and his political affiliations made him nationally known. His trials through the courts were fought bitterly, and because of his influential standing there were many doubts of conviction. But this seems to be an era in which a nemesis is on the job, fatal to the briber and the bribe taker alike. This nemesis has been active in every community where there has been the least suspicion of graft. In California, Los Angeles, Sacramento and cities in the Bay area are unearthing schemes of graft and bribery. A former district attorney of Los Angeles County has just heard the gates of San Quentin clang behind him and shut him off from society for from 1 to 8 years. The Sheriff of the County of Alameda has resigned his office because of the publicity given that office in bribes and vice protection cases. And so on down the line. There seems to be few hamlets and municipalities that have not had the taint of some dishonest official. In most cases it is laid to the money offered and taken for the protection of the illicit dealer in alcohol. BOSTON, Mass. March 16-By A.M.P.-The saying, "A priest is not without honor save in his own country" is not applicable to Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, President and Founder of the Palmer-Memorial Institute at Sedalia, North Carolina, for no one is of higher acclaim or more generally sought after for advice and counsel or as a speaker in these parts than Mrs. Brown. Both races unite to do her honor on all occasions where she is scheduled to appear, and she is often referred to in glowing terms as "The Pride of New England." More than twenty-five years ago, this young woman went from this section as a missionary to her own, and in an isolated rural district through struggle and sacrifice, built up an institution which is one of the most unique among the schools well known to our group. She has darred to spend money for beauty and cultural surroundings, and in this, has achieved a distinction in music and art appreciation, both in the exterior and interior of the buildings of the Institute "equalled by few and excellent by none" according to those educators whose judgement in such matters establishes a standard. In Raae Relations, Mrs. Brown has been a leader, not only in North Carolina, where, as president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, she has brought about united effort on the part of the white and colored women to protect Negro girls, but in the North and in the South, she has spoken ably, served on interracial groups always hewing close to the line of equal justice and fair play for the group she represented. It is for distinct achievement as an educator and as a spokesman in Race Relations has she for the past two years been chosen as one of the extension lecturers at Smith, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, and Wesley colleges. In all of these institutions she has been the guest of the Presidents and Deans who have accorded her every courtesy as President of a smaller but not less powerful school. A further evidence of New England's interest is the large number of church clubs and civic societies to which she has spoken in this recent tour. Beginning in the New York area, where she was a guest speaker twice at the famous Broadway Tabernacle, filling engagements two and three times a day within greater New York, speaking at the Columbia University and going as far north as Poughkeepsie, Mrs. Brown was a guest of the churches of New Haven, Hartford, and Bristol, Connecticut. A joint meeting of the churches of Portland, Maine, received her as a speaker, and a recent interview with Mrs. Brown disclosed the fact that invitations to remain in the North extended through the month of May, but owing to the necessity of being at the institute, many had to be cancelled. At several of these meetings a quartette of young ladies from the Palmer Memorial Institute appeared in concert program receiving rounds of applause and most favorable comment from the local critics. Mrs. Brown has been accompaniese on the entire trip by Ms. Amy Bailey, director of the department of voice culture in the school both in the capacity of a secretary and as a soloist. Spirituals sung with a depth of feeling that has stirred the audiences everywhere has been the distinct contribution of this fast becoming, nationally popular soprano soloist. Miss Bailey's ideal of service and devotion to this cause has created a distinctly soullful rendition of our folk songs and spirituals bringing to them a higher spiritual value than attained by most singers. As an interesting personality and so thoroughly interested in the progress of the Palmer Memorial Institute this New England trained young women is an exhibition of what New Englanders may do with their talents, extraordinary training, and gifts. To lay them on the altar for the development of Negro youth and consecrate themselves to the task of giving to others what New England has so freely given them is a worthy goal. In this connection it may be said that already six New England trained girls are at work in Palmer Memorial Institute, and a former teacher, a graduate of Howard University, Miss Hilca Davis, is enjoying a fellowship at Radcliffe College this year previous to taking up her work as Dean of Women at the Institution in which she has been an important figure for five or more years. Professor Ralph Harlow of the Department of Biblical Literature at Smith College, a true and loved friend of the Race, is largely responsible for working out the program for the colleges. Sixth Anniversary LIBERTY Building-Loan Association At the end of six years of service to the people of this community, we pause to render our annual accounting of our stewardship of your savings entrusted to our care, with a buffet supper. Monday, Evening, March 31, 1930 8:00 O'CLOCK Independent Church of Christ 18th and Paloma Streets The Officers and Directors cordially invite you to be present. An Interesting and Entertaining Program will be rendered. Reservations must be made at the office of the Association, 2510 Central Avenue, not later than March 24, 1930. Louis M. Bloogett, Pres. Frank A. Harvey, 1st Vice-Pres. Albert Baumann, 2nd Vice-Pres. A. Harley Joest, Secy-Mgr. Charles S. Bloogett Wilbur C. Gordon Josee E. Harvey L. G. Robinson James H. Shuckelford joe and jigging. Mules and cotton pickers. Leve camps and Mississippi steam boats. Colored folk singing while they work and play. Camp games. Old time 'ligon an' preachin' an' shoutin'. Ferver growing to ecstacy and ecstacy to mysteria and splashing. The hero goes to town. Loses in a crap game. Shoots up joint, kills brother accidentally. Then remorses. Then the ministry. Then love. Then angel; yes, a vertable love-to-drill-satan wins for awhile. A lovelier teral. Tragedy. More murder. Prison. Pardon. The hero returns home to family; to the woman who waited for years for him. Halleujah, to me, is a good picture. Not perfect, but good. Why blush at seeing kinky-baited Negroes? They are as good as any flaxen hatred race. God made em; and I love em though they provoke me like hell at times. (1) The baghagal scene has been dramatized by superlial, emotional, shall proud. (2) Negroes. Better face facts and out grow them than try to uover them up. The baphrion loved the mulatto woman. Love often forgets its roots of ethnicity. (2) The singing, dancing and shouting is true to life. Down South? Yes! and out west; and east, and north wherever colored people are found. The power that causes them to shout will some day entail the race. Tis spiritual power; it needs proper direction. (3) Laugh if you will, but evening gown, diamonds, and high society do not change the intrinsic nature of a Negro very much. Thank God it does; for Negroes will rise to their own by their own boot-straps some day. "Halleujah" almost moved me to tears. Believe me, I silently thanked God for making me a Negro. Now, the picture only portrays part of the Negroes—the peasant class. And surely we do not expect to find peasant Negroes wearing golf togs and driving Packard roadsters, etc., etc. But if King Vidor wishes to add thither suit to "Halleujah" (the would name it "amen") let him show the New Negro. Those who live on Easy street; who discourse on philosophy, science, art, literature, etc.; who can have trouble with any other race and have. Besides, I can furnish the address and names must here where white folks cut up just as the black folks did in "Hallettjush." INTERRACIAL FORUM— The meeting was suchely the best yet. Senior Alfonso Corrillo missed no words in stating the case of the darker races. Familiar with race conditions in South America, Mexico, and the United States, Mr. Corrillo spoke with a fund of knowledge. His speech and delivery was perfect. Already, he has been requested to return to Pasdede and repeat Sunday's talk. His solution of the race problem hinged on three cardinal points: (1) acquiring knowledge (2) applying ethics of Jesus (3) amalgamation or races. Despite the fact that it was raining hard, there were close to an hundred people present; many coming from Los Angeles. Mr. Ballard sang La Paloma and La Goldanrina in time Spanish fashion. He sang with feeling and expression. WOMEN'S DAY— You must visit Friendship Baptist church morning, noon and evening. Sunday. The women are putting on a grand program. Mrs. F. Marie Brawley will speak at the morning service on "A Scientific Approach to Christianity." During the H. Y. P. U., our Mrs. A. Hulbert of Los Angeles will give the main address. Mrs. Anita Grant, also of Los Angeles, will give a very interesting short talk. Mrs. M. E. Morris is chairman of the program committee. A gist of the program is as follows: (1) Mrs. Helena Smith of "Hearts in Dixie" fame will sing. A present Mrs. Smith is starring in the "Sea Bat," a Metro Goldwyn picture. (2) Piano solo—Miss Bowman. (3) Organ solo—Claudia Jones. (4) Vocal solo—Mrs. R Bowman. (5) Address—Mrs. Anita Grant. (6) Address—Mrs. A. Hulbert. (7) Arnold Quartet. (8) Vocal solo—Mrs. Clifford Free- The American Negro, unlike the Japanese, has no country to go to, other than the United States. His being blood in this country automatically causes him to be classed as a citizen of it, and as a citizen or it and as a citizen, he has contributed to the development of it by inboring in its fields and factories, fighting in its armies, and contributing to every known art. He speaks the American language and is an American in culture. The American Flag is a beautiful one, and looks very impressive and inspiring polished in some of our churches and spending thousands or dollars contesting unjust evictions is almost in so far as it displays the fact that we want to be law abiding, but until we place that Flag over our homes, and have men within those homes of calibre of Harmon Murray of Fernandina, Fla.; Robert Charles of New Orleans, La., and Simon Cooper of Sumpter, S. C., that Flag will mean little to us, and our property. Arthur D.

Women Invite dom, S New York, Mar. 7.—Among the recent legal victories by colored people, to be summarized in law reviews, is the victory in the case of Ben Bess, South Carolina farmer, pardoned after serving thirteen years of a thirty year sentence in prison on a white woman's prejured testimony. The case arose when it was proposed to prosecute the white woman for perjury, and she then retracted her confession. The governor thereupon sought to revoke his pardon of Ben Bess and it was this case, sponsored by the National-Association for the Advancement of Colored People which went to court and was won for Ben Bess, who is now a free man. The Columbia Law Review for January, 1930, in its summary states that the important legal question raised by this was "whether a pardon may be attacked in habeas corpus proceedings and the issue of fraud in inducing its issuance determined. . . . The decision in the instant case condemns the practice whereby the party is deprived of notice and an opportunity to be heard by a judicial tribunal on the issue of fraud before he is again imprisoned." The present case, like many of those fought or sponsored by the N. A. A. G. P., apart from its bearing on the rights of colored people, involves important questions of law. YOUTH FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BAITTMORE, Md., Mar. 17—By A. N. P.—The sound of stealthy footsteps on the roof and tapping on a closed window proved too much for Debley Stanton's heart and the 17-year-old youth succumbed as he was about to investigate the strange noises. Stanton heard the footsteps on the roof and was enroute to investigate them when he heard a loud tapping on the window and he sank to the floor dead. A coroner's jury decided that he had died from heart failure caused by fright. Men of City to Sunday Afternoon (For The Associated Negro Press) A heavyweight price righter recently let me in on the whole confounded rotten business. He was from the west. He had been sent for to come to New York City and "fight" with the European gent whom they are now grooming for championship honors, with large publicity and many caskwords, as a huge fighting demon, etc., etc. "I am in the fight racket," said this colored gentleman of the ring, who had just done his turn with the European giant. "I know who you are, and I can afford to tell you the truth about it." Then he explained in great detail: that an honest-to-goodness fight is not known in any big place now—that such a fight cannot get in on the "big money;" that big business has taken over the promotion of fighting, not to determine the best man but to promote big dividends. They accordingly take a man who has some attractive feature, like a big hulk of a body and a queer; neme and strange nationality and push him forward until they see a chance for a million-dollar gate. And even the million-dollar gate fight may be "fixed." "It's a poor innocent who will bet on a big-money fight these days unless he knows which way to bet—unless he is in the racket," said my prize-fighter fellow traveler. Then he told how he had been summoned out of the west to help push the prominence of this new big slugger—how he was, given $5,000 even before he entered the ring, and how he must make of his good behavior, he was to receive two thousand dollars more after the fight—if the right man won—which was the other man. "They would not let me shoot, be sold, or it might have been hard for them to judge the other fellow's winner, even on points. Then showed me the money, in actual cash—bills of $500 and $100 denominations, sticking in his shirt pocket and pinned in with a safety pin—more money than r had seen anywhere else in my life outside of a bank. But after the fight was over and the protege of the big money interests had been allowed to win on points, like any crooked business, they tried to chest this black fighter from the west out of his extra two thousand. But he was smart; he had kept the letters which they had written him in the west, making the arrangement—and he threatened to go before the State Boxing Commission with these letters—and they came across. Then they had ocered to buy back the letters. He was smart again; he suddenly remembered that he had left the letters at home. But he had the letters with him, when I me thim in the Pullman car returning to the went. He knew that if he had these letters with him and they knew he had them, they would use foul means to get them. He may need them, too, for future use. And why does this individual enrage, in such business? He explained: "I could not make money like that in straight fighting. It is a business now—a racket. Jack Dempsey was the last fighting champion—and I suspect him in the Philadelphia fight—but he made an honest try to get it back in Chicago. If he fell for the racket in Philadelphia, he had fallen out with them when the Chicago fight came on." So in the future, it seems that champions are to be made in the same mannen and for the same purpose that Firestone plants a few hundred acres of rubber trees, at great care and cost, in Liberia; for future profits. No real sport can survive "big money." Illinois Cities to Hold Interracial Conference CHICAGO, Ill., Mar. 18—By A.N. P.—The first state-wide interracial conference in Illinois will be held at Chicago, March 24-25, under the joint auspices of a National Conference committee of the Commission on Race Relations of the Federated Council of Churches and a local committee of arrangements sponsored by the Chicago Commission on Interracial Cooperation with Mr. Harold S. Prince as chairman, according to a statement issued by Dr. George E. Haynes, Sec. of the Federal Council of Churches. White and Colored delegates have been invited from twenty-four cities and towns of the state that have Negro population. Dr. Frank O. Beck of Garrett Biblical Institute, Northwestern University, is chairman of a committee gathering facts about conditions in the state for use of the conference. These facts, in written form, will be put into hands of delegates before the opening of the first session and will serve as a basis for the open forum discussion which will include interracial economic conditions race relations in churches, and religious organizations, as well as other topics. There will be a morning and afternoon session on Monday, March 24, and a mass meeting at night when Dr. Ernest F. Tittle of Evanston, Illinois.

Traeger on Tuesday resulted in the setting of April 11 as the date of execution for four colored-men, all convicted of murder. Aron Woodard was found guilty of slaying a policeman. The other three Leonard Shadlow, Leon Brown, and Lafon Fisher were convicted for the murder of Martin French, slain when the trio held up the Franklin Trust and Savings Bank where French was employed as guard. This quadruple execution will furnish Chicago with a rare spectacle. White murders win acquittals or time sentences, so that the extreme penalty can only be observed in operation in cases where Negroes or destitute foreigners are involved. As nearly as can be remembered there have not been four white men put to death for murder in Chicago during the last ten years. and Dr. Channing H. Tobias, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A., both noted speakers, will broadcast the facts before the conference to the people of the city and the state. There will be two sessions for delegates during Tuesday and Tuesday afternoon the conference will make a sight-seeking trip to the colored business and residential sections of the south-side. All sessions held at Central Y. M. C. A. The attendance on the day sessions of the conference will be limited to not more than 200 registered delegates who are expected from over the state. Already the response from both white and colored leaders indicates that the conference will have full attendance. These delegates will represent social agencies, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and white and Negro churches of the several denominations, both local and state-wide. MONSTER M at Second Bapti S. 38th Anniversary Sale!

The life of personal maid to a musical comedy star is not all beer and skittles says Mrs. Louise L. Lux, comely Harlemite, who holds down just such a position with Miss Betty Compton. It seems that Mrs. Lux wanted to attend an "affair" here in Harlem one night and bemoaning the fact that she had no jewels to wear, besought her gracious employer's aid. Miss Compton responded nobly, letting Louise wear $2,600 worth of "ice" belonging to the aforementioned Miss Compton. The jewels, consisting of a bracelet, studded with fdetysix diamonds, a five setting diamond ring, and other less valuable pieces, were stolen from Louise's dresser drawer last Saturday night. When Betty, discovered the loss as related by her maid, she immediately notified Police Commissioner Whalen. Search was made in local pawnshops, and there on Eighth Avenue, in various loan places, were found the sparklers. They had been left there by one Jacob Hall, a porter, who in Harlem Court Friday, declared he had found the gems on the subway platform at 116th Street and Lenox Avenue. However, three previous convictions outweighed this excuse and now Jacob is in the Tombs awaiting trial on a charge of burglary.

Shuler, "had known Asa Keyes on the airy plants of Texas as well as during his entire period of office holding in this city, hence, no doubt he had cherished a hope that his old friend would not be subjected to the painful humiliation of being handcuffed to a strange, unsympathetic deputy sheriff while being transported to San Quentin." And the famous fighting parson was seemingly greatly moved with sympathy in his recitation of the fact that Keyes was not handcuffed at all but allowed to walk by the side of his old friend as if they were out on a friendly trip to his last living resting place behind the gray walls of San Quentin. We could have appreciated the Rev. Mr. Shuler's attitude in this Keyes San Quentin trip if it had not been ours to reflect and to mind that but a few months ago, this same Rev. Bob Shuler, over the same wave length, as loudly voiced his resentment of a colored lad being handcuffed to an Italian while they both as criminals were being conveyed from Los Angeles to San Quentin.

The woman was stabbed to death in a fight in her home and neighbors declared that they saw Hooper fleeing from the house after the killing. According to the testimony he was heading for the Virginia line and officers in that state have been notified to look for him.

SOUVENIRS WITH Grand Opening, Sa AP time Negro women propose to launch a program that stands for nothing less than full economic freedom for black people in this section. A RECORD BREAKING: religious service, promoted by young people, held forth at the First A. M. E. Zion Church all day last Sunday. The program consisted of musical numbers, vocal and instrumental, and reading selections, all of which showed that great care had been given to their preparation. The morning sermon by Miss Sue Priolean, a young mite of a girl, was full of spiritual fear and inspiration that will long be remembered by both young and old present. The evening message delivered by Ernie Wilson was a masterpiece on "World Peace," in fact every young person on the program, which was presided over in the morning by Darby Jones and in the evening by Simmie Etta Johnson, demonstrated marked ability. At the close of the evening service, Rev. I. A. Moore, pastor of the church, did not hesitate to tell these young people that they were just as good in their conduct and otherwise as were their Seniors of yesterday.

There was a miniature battle ground at Kewpie Hampton home on last Sunday evening when the parade of the back-bitten and Back Bitting Soldiers past in review.

Shinning around the campus of U. C. L. A. we put the Spot on one Miss Payne, a student, who so the story goes is the fastest thing in Feminine Pullchritude. To the office come the news of the engagement of Miss Florence Thompson. However, it has not been confirmed and we take no responsibility for its existence. We do say that whoever gets the little girl gets a coveted prize. Swinging the Spot toward the snow capped mountains, we focused on the much talked of Muir Tech High. We were well rewarded for the efforts in the form of loviness. Now we see why Bull Crain made so many pilgramages to this shrine. Anyone interested, we advise to drive out to the end of the Lincoln Car line in Pasadena. (near Alcatelleda.)

Mr. Sam Thompson, authority on the Red Cap situation at the arcade station sends me a clipping pertaining to the efficient manner in which his force handled the German Grand Opera Company composed of six Pullmans a dining car and seven property cars. The clippings states, as follows—Dapper males with brief cases and bulky bags in their hands, and stylishly dressed sopranos and contrifolios, made their way past huge piles of personal baggage belonging to visitors, and Red Caps did a thriving business. The Porters knew just what to do, even though they could not quite understand the shouted orders of the songbirds from Central Europe, for they had served incoming Grand Opera Companies on previous occasions, this speaks well for our red caps. It shows that they are on the job to everything that comes along.

Well up in his eighties, enjoying the best of health, Daddy, as he was known, spread sunshine everywhere he went. Of course we all must go but it is a bit hard to be in perfect health and have a reckless driver cause an accident that costs one his life, and yet such was the contributing factor that caused this popular character to pass from work to his reward. "Well, I jes met her walking down the street and wondered how comes." "Well, if you saw her walking down the street, Sister Scarecrow, that is the best evidence in the world that she's not dead. "Well, Revern, I'se guess, youse right, all right, but I'se thought meby de underfaller was in such a hurry dat he had plum, gone forgot, to embalm her and she had come back to life. Ill right, Revern, youse aught to know. Pussonly I'se don't like de idear of haben my normal senses so rudely disturbed. Thank you, goodbye." John Barefield buckeled on his outing togs and auto ingenerated a party of federal friends up to Castiac to spend the day, Sunday. A royal time was reported. Mrs. Barefield acted as the conductor. From the way it snowed, hailed, and rained recently it wouldn't go for an eastern newspaper reporter to have been visiting out city, for the place known and referred to as being haeven on earth would certainly have been lambasted in the Eastern papers.

Car and Array of Other Awards to be Given Those who Place in Campaign have probably wished all candidates well in their endeavors. But have you "said it with a subscription?" You know that words of encouragement are hollow mockery unless backed up with a subscription. Subscriptions are what it takes to put your favorite over the top. Have you done it yet? Or have you given "lame" excuse and turned your back on a friend? Selling subscriptions to this paper is just as legitimate as selling anything on earth, real estate, clothing, furniture, groceries, etc., and those who are working in this campaign have the same assurance of compensation as in any other line of business. The candidates in this kind of a proposition have an opportunity to show what kind of salesmanship ability they possess. And it is a case where they pay themselves and write their own price tag—and that price tag can be written for $1050.00. And now candidates that the eyes of the community are upon you and you have said "I will" your friends are depending upon you to do your best. Each and every one of you have been told "I will help you if I feel that you have a good chance to win." So do your level best to merit and deserve that implied assistance to do anything less would be to forfeit the confidence of your friends and wellwishers. The first vote count and standing of the candidates will appear in next Friday's issue of the California Eagle. Enter NOW and head the first. There is no denial without a trial. To save time and avoid errors, will you kindly look up your last receipt and have it handy when the collector calls. Please remember that subscriptions to weekly newspapers are payable in ADVANCE, so if your receipt reads for 1929, your subscription is due now.' Be ye also ready for in a time when ye least expect the collector will call. BLUE BLOWERS ON PARADE—NEW SHOW AT CURTIS MOSBY'S NITE CLUB MUSIC WRITTEN BY JO.

TR STOP PROFESIONAL SHO GUEST OF Another one of Curtis Mosby's supreme efforts has resulted in one of those floor shows that has everybody going away talking to themselves and no-fooling. The Nite Club King has two brand new shows and both of them are whangs in every sense of the word. A LITTLE RISQUE The first show is woven around the beautiful chorus, Mr. Mosby has gathered and to us it is just a little risque, just enough to add a little tange to it. The principals in the first show that grab the spotlight are the one and only one, Miss Ivy Anderson the bronze beauty of the Blues, Suey Hoy the girl with the Chop Suey name, Laura Smith, low down blues moaner from the big and bad City of Chicago. Of course you know the show would not be complete without Eddie Anderson his brother Connie Anderson and Gus Jones the heavyweight comedian himself. These three boys are a show in themselves. They will crack your side with laughter. CHORUS FEATURES DANCES The brown skinned chorus leads the way, with their version of the popular dances that have taken the spot light from time to time. And take it from me if you want to see the various dances of the present time done as they should be done, see these chorus beauties. Every dance from the cake walk down to the present snake hips take you through the dance age. TIME OUT FOR SECOND SHOW While things were quiet after the first show, I took time out to look around and see just what I could see. COMPANY NON-SECTARIAN CITY WIDE REVIVAL GAMMA— Will beheld at the church, 1846 Logan street, with a special week of prayer from March 23 to March 30. Rev. B. R. Guy and wife will assist John T. Brown, the evangelist and overseer. Sister Phelps and Sister Madison are expected from Pasadena. There will be preaching by the pastor Sunday morning and a special service conducted by Bro. and Sister Guy at $ p.m. Special oering at each service, the financial army being divided into three companies: No. 1 Sister Helm, leader; No. 2, Sister Franklin, leader; No. 3, Sister McKinley. The reserve forces will be called into action if needed on the fifth Sunday. Everybody welcome. Our Motto, Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God. JUST LOOKING AROUND Ivy Anderson doing as a special, "Some of these Days" and her old time favorite "Am I Blue" and how that little bundle of bonae beauty did do Ethel Waters' very own. I notice that demon banjo picker, Gia, is back, the band was lost without the old boy last week. Gus Jones strutting his stuff while doing "Frankie and Johnny Blues." A sight worth seeing any time, any place and any how, Laura Smith snaking a mean pair of Snake Hips. Just a little Snaker than a snake can snake them. Now you know she is really snaking. Jim Porter the Far West's own Louie Armstrong doing your's Truly's favorite of all times, "How Am I To Know." I think I can almost find a way when Jim lets go on the golden trumpet. Trying to keep still while the Blue Blowers Parade around on their last dance number before the second show. NOW FOR THE SECOND SHOW The seating of this 'in' in that place called Hell. But it was a Hell of a Hell to me. Nothing like I had the place pictured. There was the devat nimseh, with Miss Iva Anderson as Madam Deval. You had to provide plenty of fun and music of you could not stay down there. Ivy ruled her place with an iron hand. The big feature of the second go around was the Dance of the Cossacks by Mary Richards the pretty little toe dancer and Eddie Anderson the big fun and laugh man. They really got a hand and it was some very clever dancing. PRO. DOINGS The frost had their stuff stolen right away from them Wednesday night by two little sisters, who were not a day over ten years of age. The girls were introduced as the Raine Sisters for a song and dance act. And did those kids stop the show. That would describe it they just stopped every thing in that night club for about thirty minutes and the guest gave them their undivided attention and no less. They have the taps, down pat and they drew down a thunder house along wan some of those desirable green backs, but when they really did show what was what and why it was such, was the time they came tripping out and did that classic that would do credit to any big time ballet troupe. And did the money fly? Ask me another one. The guest of honor was the famous Radio Artist Charlie Wellman of "Don't Go Away Folks Fame," and song writer, Charlie is known as the Prince of Pep over the Ozone. Sam Harris and Sugarfoot Brown closed the show with a song and dance act, with Sam at the Ivories and Sugarfoot stomping them down.

Perhaps it is because we are in the Nation's Capitol, the seat of government and protection of all Americans,—our tranquility of spirit. Cheerful sitting room—its green hanging terms and reed furniture. However, the slow, unconcerned motions and speech of the woman in charge remind us that we are indeed bordering the Mason-Dixon line.

The quietness of the regions below make us think that all nave had breakfast and gone. "Perhaps we are too late!" I think panicky. We listen, peeking and peering this way and that for some signs or life. Entering the open door of the cafeteria, its emptiness was emphasized by the many rare tables. Finally two patrons quietly breakfasting at separate tables were discovered. No one at the counter, not much signs of breakfast. A melon cut, a few dishes strewn across the counter but the steaming odor of bubbling coffee was missing. After rapping a few times, attracting the attention of the patrons more than anyone, a girl appeared. She seemed not quite certain of the menu offered. Finally acting on a cordial invitation, we round ourselves opposite the other diner, a very attractive young woman. Pats well met, finding many things in common, we started out for the day to see the sights of the Capitol. Howard University!

C., March 17—By A.N.P.—That more white criminals faced the bar of Justice in the State of Carolina during the year, 1929, than Negroes was shown in the report made by Attorney John M. Daniel, which, was made public here Wednesday morning. The recapitulation of the report by the Attorney General disclosed that white criminals were far in the lead in practically every type of crime. In practically every South Carolina County where the population is equally divided between the races, the white criminals led. Many Piedmont centers saw twice as many white people haled before the court as Negroes and only in a few infant counties did Negroes constitute the majority. This report contradicted decisively the statement which is frequently made in this section, that crime in this state is fostered mainly by the Negro element. The preponderance of white criminals belies this statement much to the surprise of the whites. Of the total of 4,069 people who faced juries during the year, 1929, 2,127 were white, and 1,942 were Negroes. According to this report there were 303 homicides tried, but this number does not include many cases which were committed during the year covered by the report, that are being tried during the present term of court. Negro Standing in His Own Light (Continued from Page One.) partial control or what it eats, wears, and lives in, it is not building on a solid foundation. It is simply calling attention of the world to an unjust and pittable condition among us while at the same time receiving more contempt for our organized activities. To improve the social and civic condition of the Negro pace the economic condition must be improved, and to improve the economic condition immediate attention must be paid to the consumption of the race and the best methods of control. On sixteen articles of consumption the American Negro needs a mial mum of $7,200,000,000.00 annually. On a basis of one employee to every $20,000.00 worth of business in retailing this would afford employment to 240,000 men and women of the race. In addition to this hundreds of thousands of our people would be employed in the manufacturing, production, and marketing of these sixteen articles of consumption. Furthermore, avenues in industry, and commerce in establishments or the dominant race would be open to us according to our several abilities, because with intelligent control of our consumption comes power which establishes a condition of reciprocity that is possible in no other way, and without a reciprocal position with the dominant race we shall remain economic and social slaves. With a consumption that runs into billions of dollars annually there is no reason for general "belly aching" of the American Negro. The masses of us are not thinking. We have permitted our leaders to think for us and they have not thought along lines of fundamental things. Our leaders do not call our attention to our purchasing power and how best to use it for our benefit. They call our attention only to the effects that are caused by our economic weakness, such as lynching, distranchisement, and discrimination. When we arouse ourselves to organized action in an attempt only to remove the effects of our economic weakness we are simply buildings and frame buildings, with the huge shade trees here and there lending, beauty, shelter, stirring up romantic visions. standing in our own light. The cause of these effects must first be removed. A sensible control through consumer' no-operation of our necessities is the only method that can get at the root of all our troubles. We are ever speaking of equality and have not the least idea what it means. The masses of us must understand that equality of citizenship implies at least the ability of the race to feed itself. Our leaders, either do not understand this or they are not sincere in their efforts at racial advancement. Fighting for our rights in the courts, beginning for jobs, conferring interactively for equality, organising a handful of people for political activities are not fundamental and will never give us the things desired, yet this is the extent of the efforts of our leaders and most of our periodicals. To obtain equality we must generate power and this cannot be done by condemning Pat Harrison and Tom Helfin for their stand on the race question. This power can be developed only by co-operative control of our necessities. The American Negro does not know what things are fundamental and what things are not. How can they know when the bulk are taught by our leaders that the race must be built from the top downward? Here is some of the "stunt" we are fed. Certain newspapers owned and operated by our race are attempting to turn Paradise and Hades over by attempting to force white business in Negro neighborhoods to give employment to colored people on the grounds that such business thrives on Negro support. These attempts on the part of our press are especially prevalent in the East. They have met with certain success in this campaign and are now bragging about it and considering such of real value to the race. Do not these newspapers realise that if Negroes are replaced by white men in New Orleans in the digging of sewers and handling garbage that a few jobs as bookkeepers and clerks in white business operated in Negro neighborhoods are not permanent? Personally I do not believe that our editors have given this a thought. We are in need of more jobs but we must create them. A control of our consumption is the only method to create them to any extent. Why do not our editors admonish our people to capture their own trade in their district, thereby creating and owning the jobs they hold? It was said on the floor of the convention of the National Negro Business League, held in New York City, in August, 1928 that of the 300,000 Negroes in Harlem there were not enough grocery stores to feed them for half an hour if every colored person decided to buy from Negro store keepers. It was further said the manager of the Harlem Branch of the Chelsea Bank of New York advised, when asked if the bulk of his deposits was money belonging to Negroes, that practically all his deposits was money belonging to Negroes "but" he added, "This money is not in the name of Negroes. It is in the name of the Greek, Jew, Chinman, Italian and other races who have the business foreseight to come within the Negroes' neighborhood and capture their trade." In spite of such glaring truth as the above we continue our begging, our fight for constitutional rights, and our pleas for consideration and equality. At the same time while we are reaching out for the crumbs someone in the person of a Jew or foreigner step off with the loat taken from our own household. Such reasoning as we do regarding our economic condition is sufficient evidence that we are standing in our own light.

P.—Agnes Green, wife of George Green, servant of the Jefferson Davis Soldiers' Home, who was killed here last week when his throat was shaken from ear to ear, has been bound over to the grand jury on a charge of murdering her husband. John Hodricks, also was bound over on a charge of murder in the same case. The woman's bond was set to $2,000 and Hodricks' abusa EDNA CUNNINGHAM Speedy Dancer, Good Singer, Good Looker, Soubrette in New Lincoln Stage Revue (By WILLIAM PICKENS) (For The A. N. P.) We assume that President Hoover really wants to do something about evil and immoral occupation of Hayti. We assume this in spite of the fact that he made the greatest mistake by not naming a Negro citizen on the real Hayti Commission. Of course he gave us a side-show commission which has on it some fine men, but which has no power except the power to "report to the white folks." That is the ordinary conception in Amethyst of the Negro's "place." Surely, Dr. Moton is a sane and safe enough Negro to have been put on the real commission. Then he could have been put in charge of a special commission on education, just the same; and better, for then he would have had authority, prestige, and power to push for the objections of this subordinate commission. The appointment of this autonomous commission is really a confession by the executive that a Negro should have been put on the job with the others. It is the American's way, however, of dealing with a "child race": to hand it a "sugar-treat" to pactily it and keep it from bawling. BASTROP, La. March 17—By A. N.P.—Two youths, Joe Win, and Irston (Bo) Webb, the slayers of Bob Lee, and aged white man, last July at Horseshoe Lake, divided their pocket change among prison mates, uttered a prayer, and died on the gallows. Both professed religion, and calmly went to their deaths. En route to the gallows the sheriff asked which wished to die first. Winn answered "ready" and was ushered to the scaffold. The rope slipped and he hung there for 39 minutes before he was pronounced officially dead. Webb was hanged nine minutes later. Velma Tolbert is feeling rather blue these days.

More than 30 boy scouts from the west side under the direction of Mr. Webster and inspired by Mrs. Prineau were on hand to pay the post a visit. The troops has just come under the sponsorship of the Benjamin J. Bowie Post, and is the first of two units to be formed. Repaying a visit from the post which was made to them last month, the Alhambra Post was out 60 strong with their drum and bugle corp. The bugle corp. scouts and Ben Bowie members assembled in parade formation and marched from Adams and Central to the 'hall with a blare and fen-fare of drums and bugles. After a short business session the post had a program of entertainment which was rendered by the scouts, bugle corp. and volunteer members of its own group. After adjournment, with the boy scouts retired, the buddies from both post accepted an invitation of their comrad Curtis Carpenter to attend the performance at the Apex Nite Club as the guest of their buddie Curtis Mosby. The entire group repaired to the Apex where they enjoyed the show and its special features. The spirit of comradship expressed by the Alhambra Post was inspiring and the rousing welcome extended by Ben Bowie was heartening.

Lucas, president of the New Orleans branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that the branch in co-operation with the Federated Civic Leagues, is prepared to press the case against the white police officer who shot a fourteen-year-old colored girl when she resisted his advances in the cafe where she worked. A statement issued by the New Orleans N. A. A. C. P. and Federated Civic Leagues, says in part: "We are going to fight and not give up until our women are no longer shot down by white brutes for fun. The N. A. A. C. P. and Federated Civic Leagues have employed competent counsel to see that the murderer of Hattie McCary, who gave her life to save her honor, is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." The Louisiana Weekly is co-operat- ing with the two organizations press- ing this case.

One of the discussion leaders was Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who addressed a Round Table session on the historic development of race antagonism, tracing its growth in slavery, imperialism, the promulgation of the idea of Nordic supremacy, and the consequences of this attitude in Africa, the Forces in the United States, and in the Caribbean. Associated with Mr. White in leadership of the discussion was Professor Frank H. Hankins, of the Smith College sociology department, author of "The Racial Basis of Civilization." The discussion lasted throughout Saturday, March 1, being followed by a general tea, and a dinner for the speakers at the Northampton Hotel. At the night session the speakers were Mr. White, James Waterman Wise, son of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and Professor Hankins. The student gathering was under the supervisor of Professor S. Ralph Harlow of the department of religion at Smith College, and Everett R. Clinch, secretary of the Committee on Good Will Between Jew and Gentile. Other speakers at the conference included John Herman Randall, Jr., Professor of philosophy at Columbia University; Deth A. McCarthy, author and poet; and Julius Bialet, professor of religion at Smith College. If Dad Were Here Sweet joyous spring is here again. Fruit frees are rich with bloom.

The Los Angeles Baptist Ministers Union met in its regular session at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 37th and Paloma, last Monday at 1 P. M. After devotionals the order of the day was called for and Dr. W. R. Carter, chairman of the Program Committee presented the Rev. W. A. Venerable in a given subject: "Body and Mind in the Christian Life." The speaker appeared with a well-prepared manuscript, and was given credit for the evident time and labor spent in collecting and arranging material aiding him in the presentation of a subject of this nature. Dr. Venerable mentioned the names of various authors whose writings he had perused and was quoting. The paper was ordered published. A brother minister from the East was presented, as was also the new Secretary of the Urban League. Both were heard with interest, and by motion of Dr. E. W.

E.'s In Mammoth Winter Council At Chicago CHICAGO, March 17By A.N.P. The Winter Council of Ministers and Lay-Workers, Southeast Missouri and Illinois Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, has been in session here for several days during the Grand Opening and celebration of the entrance into the Jubilee Temple recently purchased by the C. M. E. Church denomination of the valuable property at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Fifty-ninth St. Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett, A. M. D. D., S. T. B., presiding bishop of the Eighth District of the C. M. E. church, is the chairman of the council and was the presiding officer over the sessions. The sessions were more largely attended than at any previously held by the C. M. E. denomination in its history in this section of the country. Distinguished persons from all sections of the country were present for the meeting. Among those of the outstanding General Officers and churchmen present were: Drs. W. Y. Bell, Department of New Testament Interpretation of Gammon Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; G. C. Parker, Editor of the Christian Index, official organ of the C. M. E. Church, Jackson, Tenn.; T. H. Copeland, Treasurer of the Superannuated Preachers, Widows, and Orphans Fund, Hopkinsville, Ky.; W. M. Womack, Secretary of church Extension, Louisville, Ky.; J. H. Moore, Department of Missions, Holly Springs, Miss.; J. A. Bray, Department of Education, Birmingham, Ala.; H. P. Porter, publishing agent of the C. M. E. Denomination, Jackson, Tenn J. A. Martin, Sunday School editor, Nashville, Tenn; W. A. Bell, Chief Sec'y, of the General Conference, Atlanta, Ga.; T. J. Mopins, C. E. Chapman, Detroit, Michigan; J. W. Jocobs, A. W. Womack, St. Louis, Missouri; C. A. Craig, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mrs. Lena Hamlett, Kansas City, Kansas, and delegates and representatives from the local congregations within the bounces of the conference. The addresses delivered by Prof. W. A. Bell, Dr. W. Y. Bell, and Bishop J. A. Hamlett, evoked considerable comment and large audiences heard them. The address by Prof. Bell dealt with the economic situation of the Negro in the changing conditions of the country both North and South. He advised Negroes to hold their jobs when once they possess them. Dr. W. Y. Bell gave an address touching the changing attitude of the Southerner as regards the Negro and stated that there had been a great transition during the 20 years he has been away from the South Bishop Hamlett's ad- M. B. Being persuaded by a small group to remain in town, he withdrew his intentions of going elsewhere and accepted pastorate of the East Temple Baptist Church—just made. They purchased a piece of property upon which to build a church. Where they erected a temporary building in which they worshipped God in the eyes of witnesses who wished them well. Many fell by the wayside. Pastor Holt continued to pray until the God who heard him in the making of old St. Paul gave him the desire of his heart—another building, in neatness of construction, and appointments, equal to the first church, on the corner of 45th and Wadsworth. We will enter on the 23rd day of March. Pastor Holt has awoke to himself. He is not the man of a few days ago; we sympathize in his weaknesses and shall ever cheer his accomplishments. No man coming to the West unheralded and unwelcomed as did Pastor Holt has accomplished as he in these twelve years. He worked into the hearts of the ministry and the church MRS. ALICE DUNBAR NELSON HONORED As a fitting climax to many social functions attendant to her soipurn in Southern California, Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson was the guest of honor at a informal affair given by Miss Helen Duncan of North Burlington Avenue, Monday evening, March 17.

Theodore Banks, Howard H. Allen, Attorney Erskine Ragland and George Duncan enjoyed the evening of bridge and music. Mrs. Nelson left for San Francisco Tuesday morning via the Western Air Express. BIG MASS MEETING IN INTER EST PYRAMID CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION Citizens of Los Angeles are invited and urged to attend a monster mass meeting to be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, April 6, at the Second Baptist Church.

In this, he failed to have the co-operation of his frigence and under the pressure of debt and ridicule by those who should have sympathized his weakness, he suffered a nervous breakdown. He later informed his church of his mental depression and his inability to carry the work along, being refused the sympathy of those whose duty it was THE NEW YORK TIMES to help he tendered his resignation. For five years he has served as president of the West Coast Theological Seminary. He came to us as ex-principal of grammar and high school, a student of law of the La Salle Extension Law School of Chicago, a student of Medicine of Flint Medical College of New Orleans, La., A. B. of Bishop College, crowned with D. D. of Conroe Baptist College, Conroe, Texas and a preacher as all will acknowledge. Having spent thirty-three years in the pulpit he now appears as one in the prime of his career, he was a man when acclaimed by all, he was a man when assailed in his weakness; now that he has arisen to his own he asks not sympathy but standing room and a place to pray. All loyal friends to Christianity will welcome the once leader of men among men. Asking the whosoever to worship with us, we're found at 45th and Wadsworth streets. This is An Interracial Quadrangle LONG BRANCH., N. J., Mar. 17—By A.N.P.—Her doctor-husband's interest in psychoanalysis, especially where it concerned a colored house-keeper, led Mrs. Lillian Connerty to take moonlight walks with her colored chauffer as well as visits to his rooms, she testified Thursday in the final hearing of Dr. Harold V. Connerty's suit for a divorce. Having previously accused her socially prominent husband of more than professional interest in Bertha Holmes, housekeeper on a millionaire's estate near their Asbury Park Home, Mrs. Connery said her husband had enlisted her aid in the treatment of the woman. In order to do this, Mrs. Connery was supposed to win the colored woman's confidence. To do this, she took auto rides, walks, and canoe trips with the chauffeur, Joseph Mitchell. Mrs. Connery said that she had visited Mitchell's room on three occasions but denied that the visits were other than those prompted by the colored woman. The Holmes woman recalled to the stand after Mrs. Connery testified denied that she suggested friendship of any kind between the doctor's wife and the chauffeur. A private hearing will be held at which time the attorneys for the two sides will submit their arguments, before Chancellor Maja Leon Berry in Tombs River, N. J., on a date to be named later.

Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU. 8419 or VA. 1221 (Continued From Last Issue) "TOOTHACHE—Go to your dentist as soon as possible. A toothache may be a sign that the hard part of the tooth has decayed, leaving the nerve exposed. If it is not treated, the destruction of the tooth may continue, the tooth and its nerve will die, and the tooth may become a hiding place for germs which may poison the whole body. A drop of oil of cloves on a bit of cotton in the aching cavity may give temporary relief from pain, but will not cure the decayed tooth." Continued the Metropolitan pamphlet on this subject. But the author considers a tooth ache in any form a matter for which a dentist should always without any exception, be consulted. The article continues very wisely, "See your dentist at least once a year even if your teeth seem all right." "COLDS"—If you feel a cold coming on you may sometimes be able to head it off in the following manner. If you are constipated, take a cathortic, such as Castor oil or Epsom salts. Take a hot bath and a hot drink, such as lemonade and go immediately to bed. The resulting sweat may help to check the cold. Do not allow your skin to become chilled while it is perspiring. This treatment is especially good at the very onset of a cold. Rest, a light diet, plenty of water are important things. If the cold in your head does not clear up in a week or if you have a fever, sore throat or severe cough, or discomfort in the chest, consult your doctor at once. A sore throat or persistent cough should never be neglected. A baby that has croup should be seen by a doctor at once, croup is often a sign of diphtheria. "UPSET STOMACH" "If the pain, is not severe, a hot water battle on the abdomen may help. Eat nothing or only very light food. You should have such upsets very seldom if your diet is a sensible one. Do not eat hearty when you are overtired or nervous or just before going to bed. If you have repeated attacks or if the pain is severe consult your doctor; before taking any medicine, for it may mean a more serious condition that would be aggravated by your medecine." The author considers all "attacks" of stomach trouble very important and most of them are symptoms of some serious underlying condition which needs the most careful care of an expert doctor; Therefore if you truly value your health never "take chances" with an "up set" stomach but call a good physician at once. DIARRHEA—Is due to irritation of the intestines. The treatment in, many cases, "is the same as that for upset stomach. If the diarrhea persists, call a doctor." NOTE—Diarrhea is a "symptom," that is a sign, given by nature that there is some abnormal condition present within the body house. This sign should always be headed and in no case should a diarrhea be allowed to last for more than one day without consulting a physician. CONSTIPATION This is one of the most common disorders to which civilized man is heir. Its very commonness however, leads to a false idea of the its harmlessness. When the bowles do not move regularly, partly digested poisons are reabsorbed by the body entering its cells and tissues do untold harm. By the simple mechanical method of pressure, the hard fecal masses in the intestines cause congestion and in same cases inflammation. Headaches, nernessness, general debility and a host of other ailments both major and minor follower in the wake of constipation. "Constipation can, in the great majority of cases, be cured if you will faithfully carry out the following directions: (a)—Do not get into the habit of taking cathortics or enemas. (b)—Have a regular time for your bowel movement each day. Go to the toilet after breakfast and remain for ten minutes, not straining but giving your bowels a chance to act. (c)—Drink plenty of water—two glasses one half hours before breakfast. Drink at least 618 glasses daily between meals, one half before meals or 1 hour after. (d) “Restrict, or for the time being at least, eliminate the use of tea, boiled milk, cocoa and cheese. Eat plenty of foods that have some bulk, such as coarse cereals, bran, whole wheat or rye bread, green vegetables and fruits, cgam, olive oil, prunes, figs and dates are helpful. (e) Get sufficient sleep and exercise. (f) If constipation is not cured by these methods, consult your doctor.

STARS GET FAN MAIL. SO DO PRISONERS SUFFICIENTLY NOTORIOUS. BUT A NEWS HOUND? Imagine! NEERTHELESS I am joyfully thumbing and gratefully gloating over some cherished fan mail that is piled on a sacred spot a top the littered surface of this scribbler's work table. FACT I S "Yours Grinningly" has kept them all to answer at one time, in this column, thus saying scarce postage stamps, and labor with one blow. Besides some of them were in the form of open letters in contemporary publications like the recent kindly mention by Mr. John Fowler, straight-shooting business man, politician, and historian of local race affairs: LAWRENCE LaMAR, able, observant, plain spoken theatrical writer, and DAN SHAW, capable, hard-working writer on matters pugilistic. Here are a few of the fan letters in gist: From Mercedes Ranola, Zayaba, Philippine Is.—"I see your name and your picture in the Eagle of California, and care for you to be friend by letters with me. I like much your writing." From Reginald Siki, Moscow, Russia—"I know you are still dishing up the cream of sports, so tell my friends hello!" From Smiley King, Oakland—"I am glad to see the West's best Sports hound is back in harness at the Eagle next." From Billy McClain, San Antonio, Texas—Originator of first colored show "South before the war," and former right manager and promoter. "Hello Harry, I located you through A. N. P. gravure. Good luck!" From Mr. Prattis, executive of Associated Negro Press. "We often discuss your nose for news. Do still better." From Jno. Fowler—"He (yours truly) is unsurpassed as a Sports Writer." From Lawrence LaMar—"Harry Levette is one of the best writers in GAYETY For the first time since big genial far-setting, Tom Maloney graduated his scholar protage, into top ranks, Frankie Campbell will box what amounts to a semi-wind-up next Tuesday night, at the Olympic. Goldie Hess the "fightiest" little typhoon who ever grew up in a beach town is signed to please his Santa Monica and Los Angeles friends with another of those ten-round thrillers with which he has, held them spell-bound all the year. Campbell is to fight Ray Spiker, but as usual when Campbell is matched with any one besides Jack Dempsey or Carnera, the chorus sings "easy pickins". Not so easy when you consider that Ray was schooled in bang and sock aboard a lot of Uncle Sam's fighting Forts. For he fought his way all through the navy, and it is tradition that "before the mast" lurks some of the toughest sea dogs who ever scowled at you across the canvas. Spiker built up a record of creditable wins while in the navy, and not only cruises but figures to be known as "the guy who licked the famous Frankie Campbell." Hess has been slated to fight Johnny Lamar for some time regardless as to how his intervening battles turned. Fact is it did not matter much for Goldie has grown into an everlasting drawing card like Bert Colima and draws right after a loss. What has been clogging the machinery of the match with Lamar is the fact that Jack Russel has held out for 25 per cent of the gate though the Olympic offered $2,000 cash. the country." From Dan Shaws—"He (yours agreeably), learned the fight game as a fighter and promoter," Dan said something about "hawk/some" but that's censored; however, I shall buy a mirror. AND SO ON the letters and little "screen credits" read, including a splendid tribute by "exhaust" Editor Dorsey, prince of good fellows. So, to one and all, "I take my pen in hand," hoping these few lines will find you well and thank you VERY MUCH. Now, to go on with the Godfrey story, "When Jim Daugherty the baron of ::bull" was out here last he said some things about ALL the colored papers in the country that would make them all rise up in their indignation and flay him worse than his own state paper has flayed him in times past, viz.: the great Pittsburg Courier. But his ungrateful and unclean remarks were answered in a letter just as vitriolic, so both his remarks and the answering letter will be published next issue. Watch for it. The suspense will be well repaid. THEATRE NTRAL AVE. But the Silver Fox as the wise careful Russel is called has had a lot of bad breaks with his boys on the Coast, and Lamar is first one commencing to show real regular returns for his labors. Johnny has suprised everybody this year developing from just another fighter into what looks like a real threat in that class. He figures to beat Hess but Hess figures to beat him so he can get still another crack at Billy Townsend. A full line up of first class preliminary bouts will round up a whale of a card, according to matchmaker "Wad" Wadhams. Kid Chocolate To Fight Every Week Kid Chocolate, undefeated Cuban, plans to fight once each week until he gets a chance to meet Bat Battalino for the title. Chocolate fights Al Ridgeway of Jersey City at Madison Square Garden. Friday and a week later will go to Toronto to meet Johnny Erickson of New York. The following week he is booked at Buffalo against an unselected opponent. Ridgeway has been defeated only once in 69 starts and has scored 34 knockouts. Junior Sports Activities BY ART HAMILTON Things are quieting down in regards to the old casaba sport amping the young set. Track, baseball and swimming are coming to the fore. The Alphas went up to the far north and ended the college season, with a win over the Omega frat men. Slick Stocks, Pasadena's contribution to the sport world was the hot man there. RAIN STOPS THEM Saturday night's heavy rain scared most of the basketball players and all of the fans. All of the games scheduled for Saturday night at the Y had to be set aside until a later day. GIRLS CLASSES The girls swimming classes that take place every Saturday at 2:30 are drawing big crowds of the fair sex. Most of the Golden State Girls are taking lessons and seem to enjoy them. A few of the girls know a little about the water, but most of them don't know the first move. From the way things are breaking now it seems as if the class will soon outgrow itself. Mr. Jefferson Brown and Art Hamilton are putting the classes through their paces. Here is just a partial list of the fair ones who are splashing the water around the Y tank: Miss Gerry Barsojonation; Miss Cupid Hampton of U. C.; L. A.; Margey Roberts; Betty Hudson and her sister Daisy Hudson are stroking right along with the best of them. ANOTHER WORD Just one more word about this old man casaba before we usher him out AGUA CALIENT Mickey Shea, newly arrived Canadian 165-pounder, will face Sandy in next Saturday night's main event at the Main Street Athletic Club. LAST WEEK'S RESULTS Harry Burrows, hard punching San Bernardino welterweight, won on a foul in the sixth round from Leo Hernandez the sixth Saturday night. Hernandez was in front but Burrows had given him plenty of trouble. Jimmy Alvarado, Mexican leatherweight, stopped Clark Anderson in the first round of the semi-winup, while Frank Olata, Indian 200-pounder, outmailed Cecil Myart in the special event. Dave Young fought a draw with Joe Cordoza, Jimmy Alvera flattened Johnny illaflor in the second round and Nino Perez won from June Lagera. The boys were in the lead 9 to 2 at the end of the first quarter and they were going like a million. 8th Street outplayed the movie city three-fourths of the game and lagged in the last quarter to let the Hollywood Branch take the lead and keep it. WILLIAM BREWER STAR Drippy Williams, All-City man at Jefferson High, played a game that was hard to beat any place and any time. Drippy was guarding as he had high school league. The long, tall boy was taking out two men every shot and was stopping basketball after basket that meant sure points. Al Brewer of Pasadena J. C. was right there at one of the forwards and how that little half-pint can go! Al is a faking fool and he had those slick haired boys from the boulevard tieing themselves into knots. Johnny Kauffman called Handsome KoKo by his team mates was right there himself. The boys take a trip to Whittier this Saturday and they say they are going to reverse that 24 to 19 verdict that Hollywood hung on them. RACING IN BIGGEST WEEK The most hectic week of racing is "on" now and that is because the season draws to a close on March 31, and that the world's richest racing stake is to be "run-off" next Sunday the Agua Caliente Handicap. There are only twenty-two horses left in the Handicap, and there will no doubt, be three, possibly four scratches by post time Sunday, which will cut the field down a bit smaller than the twenty-two horses that went to the post in the Croffroth Handicap at Tia juana last year. Wilberforce, Onio, Mar. 17—In "the perfect finish," the Wilberforce University quintet defeated Phi Delta Kappa, independent aggregation of Eaton, Ohio, Wednesday evening at Eaton, 34-33. The winning basket dropped as the final whistle blew, made in the last four seconds of play by a pass from Cliff Lucas to Caroll Lucas; Carol poised a moment, tossed and registered the return win for Wilberforce. DENTISTS BITTEN BY GOLF BUG Perhaps it is because swinging "brassies" and mashles gives them the grip to yank out their patients' molars, but nevertheless several local dentists have gone "plum crazy" about golf. Dr. Euclid Pratt, gemial, efficient young Hooper avenue D. D. S., has only been playing six months, yet the other day at Sunset Field he shot 41 for the nine holes. Dr. High Bell, formerly one of the best club guards, still shoots an 88 for the 18 holes, with a 74 par. Dr. Honson was formerly very good ```markdown ``` but recently from lack of practice has fallen by the wayside. Jimmie Smith was formerly one of the best but now the determined Pruitt beats him. There is a great deal of rivalry among those who sneak away to Sunset Field nearly every day, so that Dr. Bell feels that Pruitt is encroaching on his laurels and is determined to show him what a more seasoned golfer can do. But Enelid full of confidence issues a sweeping challenge to anyone and believes he can beat the whole gang, so there you are. Meanwhile a lot of the turf is still in place. CHICAGO, March 17—Mickey Walker, world's middleweight champion, knocked out Jim Mahoney, Chicago, in the second round o la non-title bout here. Mahoney was down three times before taking the final count. Bert Colima Wins Winning all the way Bert Colima took a 10-round decision over Willie Feldman at the Olympic Auditorium Tuesday night. 1930 Billy Davis a product of the city of New York is to continue his interrupted trip around the world on his Indian Chief motorcycle. The young engaging chap has been a resident of the city since early last spring and on the 20th of this month will sail from Los Angeles Harbor on the Motor Ship, Asuma Maru, for the Hawaiian Islands, his first stop. Davis is making a trip around the world on ship and motorcycle, solely for educational purposes. His fare on the steamships from Los Angeles and on around the world is paid for and he goes without being hampered by work. VISIT EVERY COUNTRY On his trip the New Yorker intends to visit every country on the globe, starting with the Islands of the Pacific and on to the far Eastern countries and thence to the Old World—Europe. Preacher Politician Slain At Chicago Polls CHICAGO, March 17th—By A.N. P.—A new political slaying which is being referred to by some writers as a "minor" Granady murder" occured here on registration day, Tuesday, when the Rev. William H. Slaughter, spiritual leader of a small Baptist mission, and a William Hale Thompson precinct worker, was shot to death a few minutes after he had left his polling place in the Forty-second Ward. SECOND TRIP TO COAST This is the Second time Davis has seen the Pacific Coast. In 1926 he made his first trip to the far, far West, on his motor. When Davis arrived in the city last spring he intended to stay just a minute but the death of his father in New York put a sting in his plans. After sending home his money to help cover expenses the kid had just one twenty-five cents left. He went to work and is now ready to hit the old road once again. Davis will appreciate any suggestions or advice from the redaers of this article, in regards to his trip and all letters will reach him through the writer. While on his tour, Davis will from time to time drop letters back to the old U. S. A., so look for the doings of this young man on his jaunt around the old sphere. leader in the ward, engaged himself in behalf of Pampinella, but was unable to effect his release. Inquest hearings were held Wednesday and Thursday, but with no tangible results save that at Thursday's inquest Pampinella was booked for the murder. The district which was the scene of the slaying is regarded as tough and Deputy Coroner George F. Proctor, who was conducting the inquest, found that the political angles involved were so intricate that little headway could be made in establishing responsibility. On Thursday the testimony of the white witnesses resembled a perfectly rehearsed recitation, all of them agreeing that they knew that Slaughter had had a quarrel with his sweetheart and that they were sure she had met him in the dark and shot him to death. Others parts of the alibi sought to be constructed by the white witnesses placed Pampinella at a place far from the scene of the murder. The time it occurred. sso S ate ot Se Ss = = 7
