MASS MEETING AND PARADE FOR ECONOMIC FREEDOM HUGE SUCCESS! 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1930 Leaves White Baby On St. With Colored Gi ON THE SIDEWALK BY C. A. B. "Give ear to my prayer. O God; and hide not yourself from my supplication."—Psalms. THERE IS no race superiority or inferiority except as it appears to the individuals; for after all, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Races of man like ocean waves are everlasting receding—as one goes_out another comes in to take its place. So it is with the great human tide. Races are continually achieving to the fullest extent what civilization has to offer and when they reach their zenith, they topple from their thrones of supposed superiority and are swallowed up by the onward rush of the incoming children of a new civilization, hence there is no inferior, but backward races; and these backward races of today may be the custodians of the culture and learning of the world tomorrow. THERE IS only one way by which lasting peace may come to the world, and that way is by a recognition of God as the father of all, hence the brotherhood of man. WHO WAS responsible for the untimely death of J. H. Wilkins, the Pullman Porter of the Southern Railway Company, who was found still clad in his Pullman porter's uniform, crucified in a little hamlet of Georgia. Wilkins; it seems bore a good reputation in his home town, Kansas City. Mo., and no one seemed to be able to furnish a cause for the peculiar style of lynching which was meted out to this man. Railroad officials seem to be content to let it pass as one of the veiled mysteries of this time; but we contend that not only the colored people but the better thinking white people of this nation should insist that the facts in his case be brought to light and those who seek to take the law in their hands in this manner should be duly punished. Such acts but further tend to cause our government to appear a lawless nation. WE HAVE been apprised of the fact that Charles L. Upton, editor of Railroad Clatter of this paper, who it is alleged, has been a Pullman porter employee for more than ten years, and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best in the service, having during this period received hundreds of letters, both commending and complimenting him for excellency of service rendered when he reported for duty last Monday was summarily dismissed on the ground of incompetency. Now we are wise to this sort of thing and contend that if Big Business, such as the railroad companies are willing to throw out of servic Negro citizens, who have fought, bled and died for this nation which is theirs by right of birth, replacing them by Chinese labor, etc., etc., it is high time for us to say to the powers that be that a laborer is worthy of his hire. IF IN TIMES of war we are called upon to lay down our lives for this nation's safety, we see no reason why during the interval of peace we should be called upon to starve to death while others who are not Americans either by birth or adoption live on the fat of the land. Negroes have demonstrated when given the right opportunities for education, culture and a fair chance in the industrial walks of this nation that they are high class Americans in every respect as any to be found. DR. HAROLD CONNERTY (white) of Asbury Park, N. J. was granted a divorce recently because his wife, Mrs. Lillian Connerty, 23 was alleged to be too friendly with their colored chaufeur. NOTHING TO rave about as we see it, but most of the Weeklies are carrying headlines to the effect that New Orleans wrote a new page in her history when she gave a verotic carrying with it a penalty of death on the gallows for Charles Gerand (white) emergency police officer, who shot and killed fourteen year old Hattie McCray (colored) when she resisted his advances. The news is heralded that this is the first time in the History of New Orleans where a white man was sentenced to die for the slaying of a Negro. Well, New Orleans is a little late starting; but it is never too late to do good. WHILE IT was the people's business and the people responded last Sunday, the women who promoter When Olive B. Hickman pumped a big 41 caliber bullet from a Frontier Colt through the heart of Jack (John) Penn Last Saturday, April 12th, it bought to an end the sordid tale of two lives which began some years ago back east. The tragedy took place at an apartment house at 936 East 24th Street, in a two room apartment occupied by Penn. Weekly Events at Phillips Temple C. M.E. CHURCH A. B. (By: J. MULKEY STEWART The doors of Phillips Temple are always open to visiting friends and strangers and especially does this statement apply to those who would like to worship with us in our Easter Services April 20th. There will be Sunday School at 9:30 A.M. At 11:00 A.M., our Pulpit will be occupied by the Honorable Bishop C. H. Phillips, A. M., D. D. This writer considers Bishop Phillips one of the most efficient, unique speakers of today. We feel more justified in this contention now than ever before as to his efficiency. This Grand Old Gentleman of the Pulpit preached a sermon extraordinary last Sunday, using as a subject, "Love to an Unseen Saviour." This subject led up to his saying that "Faith supplies what the eyes fail to bring to us." This great servant of God commented on this tion with the ability of a Genius. Going further, he made it plain that "Faith invariably leads to love," concluding the Auditorium as he spoke with a voice calm and melow but positive enough to drive his thoughts to the mark for which they were aimed. Bishop Phillips will speak again for us at 11 o'clock Easter Sunday morning. (Continued On Page Two) "Y" Workers Make Impression The program given by the 7-piece orchestra of the Y. M. D.'s, composed of Edward Jones, Clayton Russell, Floyd Covington, Chughey Roberts, and Curl Jefferson, at the First Methodist church (whits) Highland Park, went over big last Tuesday evening. ter the program a swell luncheon was Rey. Shaw was principal speaker. Af- served Piecing together the story from friends and associates of the dead man, Mr. Penn, whose age was given as 55, met the Hickman girl who was quite young, several years ago in Chicago. They lived together a time but according to statements made by her, several days previous to the shooting, he began to heat and abuse her. Later he came to Los Angeles and worked at various places at his trade of cook, at one time two years ago, going into business at the Egyptian Inn on 12th Street. On April 30th she came tothis city and as she is a cabaret entertainer, applied for a position at the Apex Nite Club. Just about nine days later and four days before the fatal climax she, allegedly at Penn's invitation, moved into his apartment which by the way, was numbered 13. According to neighbors they quarreled frequently and each brawl ended by Penn beating her. Penn has been known among his friends as being fond of girls, so frked by the restraint, he remarked a day or two previous that he would have to get Olive out. Just the day previous he is said to have borrowed a dollar from Dr. Jordan, remarking that he was going to take down the number "13" over his apartment and also put his woman out as both were bad luck. About noon Saturday Alexander Evand and Richard Bradley visited him staying till about 3 o'Clock. About this time the phone rang and Penn held a conversation over it, the girl meanwhile manicuring her nails as she lay on the Duofold. Questioned about the phone conversation he struck her, according to the two eye witnesses. Following her into the little dressing room o the living room, he shouted for her to shut up or she would get something to cry for. "Hit me again, and I'll kill you." she cried, and sealing his gun out of a drawer, fired one shot as he advanced, it entered his left shoulder, passe through the top of his heart and traveled downward, and came to the surface of the right side of his back below the ribs. He fell dead and Lieutenant of detectives J. L. Kimbrough and C. S. Broady arrived in a few minutes in answer to a call to Newton Station. Penn was found lying in a pool of blood. When they turned him over the bullet dropped out. Still standing in the dressing room a few feet from the body of her former lover, she surrendered the weapon and powdered her face preparatory to laving with the officers. "Yes, I killed him", she calmly told them, "because he mistreated me."

Under the direction of several women's organizations and following a Mass meeting a few Sundays ago held by the Republican Study Club this widely advertised meeting was held last Sunday afternoon, April 13, at Second Baptist Church. Its object was to bring about an awakening of local Negroes to the need for industrial progress, to bring about economic freedom and alarm them of the dangers of enaction. SYMBOLICAL PARADE ATTRACTS Under special permit and preceded by a police escort from Newton Station, a parade several blocks long toured from 50th and Compton, to 8th and Central then back to the church, traversing the principal East Side Negro district. On each decorated car, were banners hearing appropriate slogans that attracted a deal of attention from crowds who lined the streets, regardless of the rain. Among the slogans were the following: "Awake from thy slumber." "Do not complain, cooperate." "Why be an outcast? Co-operate." "Unite economically or die." "Colored people in Los Angeles eat $11,700,000 of food yearly." "What are you doing for your child?" "Drops of water turn a mill, singly none." "Opportunities: A strong man makes them." "Cooperation, the modern crusader." "Even the menial jobs are slipping from us." "Racial self dependence is an indication of progress." "coordination is vital." gondicut month. rdlong.iw b tab Arrived at the church. Mrs. Galler-son presented Mrs. Corinne B. Smith, the Mistress of Ceremonies.

Although Shade had the best of the going in the early rounds the Southern boy came back in he ninth and tenth to take every thing the California boy had and to fight back quite a bit on his own hook. Shade disregarded his crouching style in the early rounds to fight the Kentucky Blue Grass boy. There is no doubt about it at all that Shade had a big edge in the early rounds, but Joe came back in the last rounds to even up the count in the eyes of Referee Jack Kennedy and it is seldom indeed that the Navy man pulls a bon- Citizens Acclaim Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker M. Leon Whitaker, Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County was signally honored Wednesday evening more than two hundred persons seated at the banquet table acclaimed him and gave to him one of the greatest reception and ovations of his career. The banquet was held under the uspices of the Women's Federation of the Southern California division which had arranged and carried out a very splendid program, also provided a menu which was in keeping with the occasion. Music, song and speech making were the order of the evening with the honored guest playing the steller role. Mr. Whitaker's address was a revelation to all who heard it and carried to the sea of forgetfulness those who had grasped the thought that he was anything less than a full fledged Deputy District Attorney to serve the people of this State and County. The Deputy District Attorney representing District Attorney, Buron Pitts, made a great and telling speech which was enlightening and paid a high tribute to Mr. Whitaker, saying that thus far he had made good to the utmost. Others who spoke were Judge Schauer, Guerin, Deputy District Attorney Bucher, City Attorney Werner, Mrs. Ashley, Deputy City Prosecutor, Bert McDonald; Mrs. Clara Hilbert. Dr. H. C. Hugson, Mrs. C. A. Bass, Mrs. E. P. Werner, Mrs. Pearl Lowry, Mr. Stafford; Mr. Lloyd Griffith, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Norman O. Houston, J. B. Bass and others. Mrs. J. M. Edwards, leading spirit in the success of this notable occasion spoke in acknowledgement of the demand upon her and was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers by Mrs. T. A. Cole on behalf of the club women. Mr. Curtis Mosby with his incomparable musicians furnished music throughout the evening. Mrs. A. Franklin. Mrs. E. Johnson. Mr. Clyde Maddox. Mr. Chs. White. Mr. R.

Another number by Mr. Forsythe and Taylor was one of the features of the evening. Mr. Whitaker's grandfather graced the occasion with his presence and when called upon to speak, stole the show. His quaint wit humor and common sense remarks were received in a big way. The Benjamin Bowie post of the American Legion was out in full force and in a group formation were conspicuous supporters for their comrade. Dr. T. L. Griffith pronounced the benediction. NOTED SINGER VISITS PARENTS ...Preceded by many glowing newspaper reports of her success through the east and south during the three years has been away. Mrs. Minnie Albritton Jackson returned this week from Richmond, Va. NEW YORK, April 16 (ANP) Lettie Hall turned over to the police of the Popular Street Station a white baby girl, Thursday night, which she had been placed in her care by a white woman who failed to return for the chilc. The colored girl said she was standing outside the Albee Theatre, Tuesday, when a young white women asked, her if she would mind the baby while she went on a two-hours' shopping tour, the following day. The girl consented. The white woman failed to return to get the baby after she had left the child on Wednesday with minute instructions as to feeding the baby. The woman gave her name at Ethel Bowes. 449 East 28th Street, New York City. Police found that she was unknown at that address. The baby was taken to the nursery of the Coney Island Hospital. WRITER FLIES EAST Making history as the first colored woman to travel from here by aeroplane, Mrs. Marie Dorothy Rout will fly to New York in a few days aboard one of the large Western Air Express passenger ships. She is leaving a lucrative position as head of the Doll Hospital at Bullocks great Department store, where she has been several years, as the only colored girl in the city holding a similar position. Mrs. Rout has been society news correspondent for a score of national papers for some time. She carries $10,000 insurance on her eye. NEGRO SHOE REPAIR MAN CONDUCTS PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS For 15 Years Mr. Henry R. Butler has been the owner and manger of a shoe repair shop in the heart of the business district of Santa Monica. Defying the competition of any, number of similar business, Mr. Butler has refuted the general belief among many that Negroes cannot enter the field of business with whites and survive. it is an established business that caters to the most exacting customers. His trade which is almost exclusively white includes millionaries, bank presidents and any number of motion picture celebrates. Of interest to note is the number of customers who send this colored man their shoes to repair from as far as Chicago. Mr. Butler is quiet nd assuming and has very little to say concerning his business nor the valuable property he owns inside and outside of Santa Monica. He has a charming and beautiful wife who has been the instigator of her husband's success. Mr. Butler is intensely interested in any movement to better economic conditions, among his people and is the only Negro member of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce. She has been conducting one of the largest studios of music in the south. At this time she has been teacher of voice and director of one of the largest Negroes choirs in the south.

Outstanding as a fair and intelligent judge during his years on the local bench. Valentine's background and present connections commend him to the right-thinking citizens of Los Angeles County. For several years, Judge Valentine has been a prominent factor in the advancement of boys' and girls' work in Los Angeles county and the state at large. "It is my contention." Valentine has said, "that the solution of the great crime problem of any nation can be accomplished only when we lend an ear and a helping hand to the youth of our communities. It is not enough to merely seek to warn the children of the pitfalls of life We must never relax in our fight, and when the youth has made a mistake our first effort should be an attempt to correct instead of to merely punish." Judge Valentine is an elder in the Hollenbeck Heights Presbyterian church; for the past seven years he has been president of the church's Brotherhood, and has been active as a committee member in the United Church Brotherhoods throughout the state. For seven years he has been president of the Hollenbeck Y. M. C. A., and has figured in, much of the work of the Y. W. C. A., the Catholic institutions, Young Ladies' Institute and Young Men's Institute; the Big Brothers' League and the Big Sisters' League, the Boy Scouts and the Camp Fire Girls. And in spite of his wide activities along the lines set out above: Judge Valentine has always found time to keep in sympathetic touch with the problems of those who labor for their livelihoods. He is Past President, of the Electrical Workers. Local No. 18. General Chairman of Legislative Committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and Secretary of the joint legislative board of the "Big Four" brotherhoods. In fraternal circles, Judge Valentine is also active. He is Past President of Elysian Lodge, F. and A. M., member of both the Scottish and York Rites of the order; he is a Shriner, an Elk, a Redman and a Forrester. He is also the first honorary member of the East Suburbs Kiwanis Club. Judge Valentine's record on the local bench is without blemish, and The Chronicle is glad to include itself mong those citizens and institutions which joined to petition him to become a candidate for the Superior Bench next year. Judge Valentine's campaign is being handled by Ed. O. Molin a very prominent Fraternist, being 32 degree Mason, a Shriner, and Elk and other organizations!

JOHN B. HARRIS 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 statistics show that one out of every ten deaths in the United States are the result of an accident, that 1500-accident occupy 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 insurable.

II RAILROAD CLATTER-COAST DOINGS By Charles L. Upton Page—Twelve PETER I have made several interesting discoveries this week, Sunday at the Economical Mass Meeting. I heard with my own ears a woman acknowledge that she was Forty Years old. Her name should be enrolled in the Hall of fame. I also heard A leader in finance when called upon to speak, calmly remark that he did not know what it was all about, again I discovered, that the Seventh Day Adventist choir is just about the best organization of its kind in the City of Los Angeles, bar none. I guess I will get some letters for that remark, but that's my story and I'll stick to it, further I discovered that Mrs. C.A. Bass is just about the talkiest woman in this neck of the woods; with the possible exception of Mrs. Chas. L. Upton whom I gladly gave the prize to twenty years ago. FEELING RUNS HIGH OVER CHINESE HELP With the introduction of oriental help in the Pullman service last week, Railroad circles were still trying to recover from the effects of the shock and were at a complete loss as to just where such a step would terminate porters, were highly incensed over what they termed as a rank violation of their seniory rights, and were endeavoring to find some manner in which to stabilize the tumoil created thereby. The inception of the Chinese porters twelve in number to replace 6 race porters will shake the whole district and the effects of the bumping will be felt all through the summer months. It will be felt by the oldest to the youngest porter in this district. Brisk activities is already taking place on all coast line trains and porters art at a loss on what lines they can bump in on and remain secure, up to the present time no less then fifteen lines have changed hands during the past week, and during it all the little brown man installed on the latest type Pullman cars of the very best paying train in the United States, calmly says "Me no savey" the face that officials have seen fit to place two chinamen to do the work that is expected of one race man operating the same type cars on the "Chief" is a fair acknowledgement of the value of the race man as a pullman porter. The following porters and lines have changed hands during the past week, and what appears to be a big game of checkers is now in full swing in the Los Angeles district: W. J. Logan bumps Tod Lowry, E. Rodgers bumps A. W. Lowry off of line 3474. Frank Fleming bumps R. Tindall off of 3452. "The Owl" A. W. bumps H. B. Wilson from the Del Monte run, W. B. Holland reverts back to his regular run which has been temporary held by C. H. Levey, J. Sykes bumps T. W. Kimbro from line 3474, G. W. Henderson bumps F. Fleming from line 3485, the "Nogales run", Ed. Houge bumps J. F. Howard, J. W. Stumps bumps L. C. Dials from line 3478. W. Theford has been displaced, also M. E. Jackson, and summing the whole thing up together it appears that the only porters now operating on the Lark who will not have to make some kind of a shift are C. Smith, Billy McCormick, J. Holt, Forsyth, J. S Harris, Jenkins, and possibly a couple others whom the writer can not recall at the present writing, even as we go to press some of the men mentioned might be seeking other lines on account of being bumped. The general activities in the bumping market is going at such a rapid pace that is almost impossible to keep an accurate account of all the changes that take place in the big shake down. The writer sees the disturbance in the following light and quotes it with his pen in the following poem: "CHIN CHIN CHINAMAN" Now the whole dang district's And the picker out the young. He spared not a man to the very top. rung And while the poor Pullman Porter Trys to figure out the rub The Chin Chin Chinaman says Its Evry Tub! MAURICE FELIX SANTA FE FED CAP PASSES AWAY Maurice Felix Santa Fe Red Cap, one of the oldest on the list of the Santa Fe passed away last week at the Santa Fe hospital. Mr. Maurice succumbed after a short period of illness in which he failed to rally after several blood transfusions. His funeral was reported for Thursday and it is thought that a large number of railroad cars will witness his burial. The If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue finishes his course. We wish him much success, and hope to see him reach the top rung in his profession. MOVING PICTURES EXTRA GANG GORS ON STRIKE While making a film up in Sonora the extra gang employed by M. G. M. decided that it was a good time to go on a strike but it did not last long an agreement was made by the management in short order and the filming of the picture was continued. BILL DAY WORKS MOVIE SPECIAL Bill Day is known as the moving picture porter of the Los Angeles District, Hardly a picture is filmed on the various locations, but what Bill Day is not listed as one of the porters to handle a car his smile is one of the main things that carry him through and make him a favorite with the film companies. W. A. CLARK HERALD AS GOOD NURSE W. A. Clark is reported as having handled more babies then any other porter in the Los Angeles district up to date. Mr. Clark has kept track of them and has them listed in a handy note book which he carries for that purpose, passengers who know Clark assert the date he is due out to Portland so that the care of their children will cease as soon as they place them in (trying) Clark's hands, well its good to excel in some things even if it is babies. E. C. CAMPBELL DISMISSED Porter E. C. Campbell was given his walking papers recently. Campbell was a new man in the service, and he did not last long. The time has come when a porter must watch his step. RAILROAD CLATTER TO ASSIST IN ECONOMIC PROGRAM —AP PEALS TO PULLMAN PORTERS TO SUPPORT PYRAMID GROCERY The Railroad Clatter takes this means in asking the Pullman Porters, Dining car waiters, Cooks, and Red caps, to give their unstinted support to the Pyramid Co-Operative Grocery which is deserving as a race establishment of your whole support. If the railroad employees could arrange to give this splendid grocery one orcer a week from each railroad man the Pyramid Co. would be able to go on with their expansion program and open up some more stores probably in your particular neighborhood, which would give your boy or your girl a steady job. The time is, right here now when the support of the railroad man will mean much to this most worthy concern. Its expansion depends upon your buying power, give them a break fellows. Lets put them over the top. The writer will tell you more about them in the near future. SOUTHERN PACIFIC BRAKEMAN LOSEJOB ON ERROR— Harry Wise a Southern Pacific brakeman for the past 26 years was dismissed from the railroad service because he failed to go back and flag at "Bakersfield". This brings to mind the time that the "Shasta Limited" was wrecked on account of the same thing. One cannot be too careful in safety-first matters. NEW PRISON CAR Porters were looking over the new prison car that was laying on the S. P. Yards last week, the name is "Benvolio" It is equipped with regular cells. Has no doors on the lavartories, no headboards or curtains, no light from outside, one gets a real touch of prison life when they enter this car. Porters hereafter who wish to have charge of this car, should get a uniform of stripes. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO ARIZONA The following porters have just returned from a trip on the Chamber of Commerce special to Arizona. E. Meyer, E. Woods and H. Crouch. The boys report a very good trip.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC NEWS "DICK MOORE LEADS HIS CREW TO SONORA Mr. Richard Moore popular Southern Pacific dining car waiter, led his tribe up to the mountains country of Sonora where they endeavored to give that brand of Southern Pacific service that has been a strong factor in making the Southern Pacific famous these many years.

PORTERS ARE GUEST OF TRANSPORTATION AGENTS Porters R. Jackson, and S. L. Hicks of the Chicago Northern District were guests of Mr. D. E. Brown of the transportation Dept. of the Southern Pacific at Catalina Island last week, The porters report that they were very royally treated during their layover. J. W. PERRY DROPPED FROM PAYROLL It has been reported to the Clatter that Porter J. W. Perry has been dropped from the payroll of the Pullman Company. If this report is true. The Pullman Company have let out a mighty good service man. John Perry was a good porter and it is with sincere regret that the Clatter hears of his dismissal. M. G. M. MOVIE SPECIAL BACK The M. G. M. Movie special has returned from Truckie, where they have been on location making an Alaskin picture. It is said that they can shoot the same scenes there that they can obtain in Alaska. Quite a few pictures are being filmed in Florida for the South Sea Islands where they can get the same surroundings as on the Islands proper. PORTERS RETURNS TO "SILS" IN. CAKLAND Mr. E. L. Arnaud Asst. to the Railroad Clatter in his survey of economic conditions in Oakland states that the porters who drifted away from "Sill" proprietor of the Overland Cafe on 7th St. have gradually returned with their volume of patronage. A rumor which was afterward proved to be without any foundation, that "Sill" turned down several requests from different porters who sought his aid. The porters are now getting fat off of "Sils" good home cooked meals. FORMER DINING CAR WAITER KILLED John Penn, better know as Jack. A retired soldier and a former dining car waiter for the Southern Pacific Co. was shot to death in his room last week in an apt. house on 24th St. near Griffith Ave. It was reported that he was slain by a former entertainer of the Apex Nite Club whom he tried to shirk after friendly relations with her. The girl killed him with his own revolver which she secured during his absence. Penn operated on the Sunset Limited about ten years ago. G E HILL OFF TO ATLANTA C. E. Hill was reported as having left for Atlanta, Ga. on the 14th to pay a visit to his children. Mr. Hill became lonesome directly after the return of W. J. Logan who brought many of the Georgia boy's including J. Ponder glad tidings from home. Logan made it his business to look up all of the former sheriff's who had the bar on the Georgia boys before he came back. He informed Hill that the coast was clear on account of his sheriff being gone, but he brought sad news to Ponder when he told him that things were not just right" for him back home yet. The same sheriff has been in office for 40 years, and he still is anxious to see Jim. REPLACE PORTER ON HEARST PARTY It was reported that a porter by the name of F. W. Williams was taken off of the Hearst party and replaced by a porter named Bill Day, while the car was lying at San Louis Obisco a slight misunderstanding came up. Williams waking his party too early.

Porter's are warned to watch their P's and Q's when handling this party. WILLIAM DEAN PICKENS HERE FROM SAN DIEGO Mr. William Dean Pickens, noted educator and lecture arrived in Los Angeles Tuesday morning from San Diego. Mr. Pickens is well known all over the United States as See'y of the N. A. A. C. P. LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE Every once in a while we run across cross a man who is looking for ahead, and one who is not contented with remaining in the same place all of his life.

OVIDD SCOTT GETS BUMPED Porters are not the only one who are getting bumped now days according to little sleeping Beauty, Ovidd Scott. A waiter who apparently had no respect for beauty, Bumped Mr Scott higher than the proverbal kite. And no Dave Smith is bemoaming over the loss of the life of the crew. CHEF COOK DUSUAU CREW LEFT ON DESERT FOR WEEK "EDDIE WILLIAMS SINGS BLUES" And this is the way it happened, you see everything was going along just too fine with the casserole selling at full blast everybody satisfied with the prospects of arriving home with a pocket full of sheckels, for they were on the Crack Golden State. Bang comes a wire to cut out at Carazaza where ever that is, and the worst of it all is they kept the boys see sawing back and forth between Phonex and this said Carzoza for over a week. Well the morale of the crew broke when Eddie began singing the lonese blues, and Randolph Wicker developed a toothache. With that kind of a combination, will you tell me how they ever arrived back in Los Angeles alive. Chef Aaron keeps the corner of 42 and Hooper warm these days, we wonder what the attraction is? Chef Cook, Thos. Cooper claims the last trip he made to Chicago, he landed in weather 40 below in a spring suit of clothes. He says he felt like taking the carpet off of the floor for an overcoat. Chef Cook, Dusauan seems to have a lot of business on Central Ave, here lately. The men whom I have seen succeed best in the life have been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their face and took the change and chances of this mortal life like men facing rough and smooth alike as it came. CHARLES KINGSLEY—P.S. Such a man as the one quoted above can be found today in the person of Clarence C. Johnson. Secy of the Dining Car Cooks and Waiters Union Local 583. Mr. Percy Buck might also well sit into the above verse, as well as Traveling Chef Thomas Harrison. These men face the issues as they arrive with a smile on their face and a determination which is little short of being termed as wonderful. Would that we had more men in the railroad profession like them and long may they continue in their progress as examples to other railroad men. That some day we may all be enlightened. The Dining Car Cooks and Waiters Credit Union is progressing along in a very smooth manner. EVERY TUB! The Ross Bros. tailors desire to see porter A. Franklin. A certain fellow was sent to Ross Dean's house to see about lining up a baseball team, but I am informed that his wife chased the young man away with a broom.

William McMahon's Market Digest The following groups are desirable from which to make specific stock selections. This is particularly true at present because they are what might be called the "necessity" sort and not "luxury", the theory being that too many people have lost money in the stock market lately in order to be able to indulge very much in luxuries. We must eat whether we were bereft of our brokerage account or not. Therefore Food stocks, or stocks in companies which manufacture or sell food products, are good to buy now. Some of them afford opportunities by reason of their strong, entrenched positions in public favor due to advertising and excellence of product. Railroad stocks should be considered in these groups also. The railroads have just enjoyed the most prosperous 9 months in their history. The record of freight loadings to the end of October was about 4 percent ahead of the same time a year ago. Besides, the declines in these issues during this late market slump were less than were registered among the general run of industrials. The oil group is not of the luxury sort, for obvious reasons. The industry has been trying for three years to inaugurate some practical plan of self regulation in point of crude production, but the job has been a hard one. For nearly a year each report for the week showed a gain in crude production. Value were far from stabilization and many of the companies made more money than ever before. But they are making headway in control and results are beginning to be apparent. The situation is "summed up in a nut shell by Mr. Joseph Pagou consulting engineer, "Rationallization," said he "in the petroleum industry will be attained first in the refining and marketing branch, where this undertaking will meet less resistance, and then proceed more slowly to the field of crude oil production where more serious delays will intervene because of the inertia of obsolete legal restrictions and the till-advised opposition of small interests." Then come the copper group. The price should stay around 18 cents for copper, because late reports seem to indicate that stocks of the red metal on hand show a slight decline over the past week. But looking ahead for a year or more it might be possible that what is called Rhodianis copper may enter the market in great quantities, to the disturbance of prices. It will be a long time, hqwever, before any glutting in the market will occur from the new mines in Africa, for consumption should almost keep pace with production no matter whence the new supply. Steel stocks are surely far and away from the luxury classification. Concerns over operating schedules with a wholesome sense of heavy inventions. Whatever slacking in demand is to be felt from the automotive industry will or should be offset by increased orders from railroads and construction sources. In these groups, bargaining will be faced by those infant on finding sham. PROTECT them from Tuberculosis Keep them away from sick people.. Insist on plenty of rest .. Train them in health habits..

Phone, RIcbmond 3455 Residence: 956 East 23rd Street RIcbmond 4736 Page—Fourteen If You Fail Editorial MEMEER: NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION OUR WOMEN IN FOREFRONT FOR ECONOMICAL INDEPENDENCE— Last Sunday our women appeared upon the front line of the battle front for economic freedom and proved a sensation. Such a demonstration for such a call has never been equaled at any time or place. The big parade which preceded a mass meeting at the Second Baptist church was but a fore runner of the greatest mass meeting of all time conducted by our group in the West. To our women goes the credit and we noted enthusiasm to let. That sort of enthusiasm which causes me nand women to think and when this situation comes to pass rest assured we are moving on to greater heights and ultimate success along the line of the economic uplift. The meeting inspired as well as it did enthuse and we look for a stronger realization than ever before of the fact that we have only ourselves to blame should we fail to gain a notable victory in the battle for economic freedom. Yes, Brothers and Sisters it's true—those old days when members of our group had to pay BLOOD MONEY for many of the things we did are no more: Honest Officials and Honest Policemen have seen to it that these grafting parasites have been driven from our midst. Some few are yet hanging 'round but their stock in trade has been ruined. They are howling and are trying to spread the news that the District is infested with vice and corruption but it is the die hard cry of a hungry lot. The time was when we had to pay for everything. If one of our citizens wanted to open a soft drink parlor he was approached and asked to pay protection money, else his place would be periodically raided: if someone wanted to run a dance hall these grafting gentlemen would be quick on the job to let you know that protection could be had upon the payment of so many good dollars and that they alone could furnish the protection; if we wanted to construct a building it was necessary to secure a permit and in quick order one of these grafting individuals would be on hand to inform you that the permit could be secured through him at so much per permit. It is said that in certain cases even the hanging of a sign was the object of graft. For years we have been the easy prev of corrupt white Brethren who spread their games of chance and vice all through our District systematically collecting tribute from our people and some fine homes in other sections of our city have been built from the hard earned dollars of members of our race and it has been rumored that for many years certain Bankers profited from the graft and corruption collected in these parts. We had and still have a few petty graft collectors among our race, who because of certain connections they claimed to have with higher-ups sought to levy tribute—they were on the trail of practically every candidate for office telling of the influence they had but their day, too, is past, and WISE CANDIDATES are now consulting with our BETTER ELEMENT and taking their advice. Conditions on Central Avenue and in this District in general have never been so good. Graft has been absolutely eliminated; there never were so few games of chance; the open vice of old days is no longer flaunted in your face as you wlk down the street and crime has been decreasing day by day. The Cossack Police and brutality are only the relics of yesterday. The police department is functioning from the direction of the proper police official and not from some political grafter who is a part and parcel of some invisible government. We pay our respects to honest And Far Sighted Officials who are no longer making our District and our Citizens the Political Foot-Ball of this Community; to MEN who believe in the same rule of government for the East-side that is in practise on the West-Side and to those who are giving us the opportunity of working out our own salvation. KING NICOTINE The vogue of tobacco and its centuries-old persistence are not easily explained and for that reason, perhaps, the "weed" is the more irritating to those who take life with, deep seriousness and would not ban everything that is pleasant and not useful. There is Biblical authority for taking a little wine for the stomach's sake" and, prohibition notwithstanding, there are some worldly souls who still contend a hot toddy is essential in the treatment of colds and pnuemonia, but no one has ever claimed any therapeutic powers of tobacco unless it be those centenarians who ascribe their longevity to the use of tobacco in corne cob or cud form. In view of the fact that so many millions obtain so much pleasure from tobacco and its use at least not beneficial to the health, is expensive and often filthy, it is not surprising that the war on demon Nicotine has been waging ever since white men acquired the tobacco habit. Sir Walter Raleigh was censured for introducing the weed into Europe, the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay colony prohibited its use and anti-cigarette laws have been passed and repealed in many states. It would seem that the net result of these centuries of protest, prohibition and repression has been an enormous increase in the use of tobacco, especially in the form of cigarettes. One American manufacturer makes 100,000 cigarettes a day and there are hundreds of factories in the business of preparing tobacco for smokers. Perhaps the candid addict explained the situation when he expressed this sentiment: Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it. It satisfies no moral need. DOLEEFFUL PREDICTIONS When the automobile came it was predicted it would make the horse extinct. Horseflesh costs more than ever and equestrainism continues to grow in favor. Now the oracles say the aeropiane will eliminate both automobile and horse, but like the horse the automobile grows in number and favor. The saturation point in the automobile industry is always being predicted but never reached. It will be found that horse, automobile and gairship each have their purpose and will increase in number as new needs are found for them and the population grows. From an article in a current magazine re taken a few quotations on the subject of the automobile: "The automobile still "The automobile stands unique as the most extravagant piece of machinery ever devised for the pleasure of mn." "The people are becoming car-poor as their ancestors became land poor." "In this craze for automobile ownership the joy os security in the future is sacrificed for the pleasure of the moment." "The whole scheme of domestic life centers in the motor car." "Once the man who borrowed in order to buy a car was looked upon as dangerous." With some of these statements some will agree, but it is invariably the carless who predict disaster and chaos because so many of their neighbors are on wheels and exchange old cars for new every year It is manifested from the popularity of the auto, from the universality of its use and from the jealous tenacity all car-owners cling to their cars, whether places on wheels or decrepts) that there are satisfactions derived from the automobile which the critics of the automobile- age have not discerned. Easter proves the mighty reality of idealism. Easter is God's promise and humanity's hope of a regenerated human race. Easter is the rainbow reaching from heaven to earth with its heavenly primoise of better things. Right and peace will yet kiss each other. Good will to man yet take the place of ill will. The healing of love will heal the scars of hate The night of every grave has its morning; even the grave of world-wide peace. Out of the dark and bloody soil of strife will surely blossom the lilies of brotherhood, peace and progress. Easter knows both sides of life, the tragic and the triumphant. But it believes that the triumphant will triumph. In the bright lexicon of this day there is no such word's failure. "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Easter confirms the undying faith of human hearts. How do we know that better days are ahead? We don't know. Yet who would predict today that the dead rose bushes will ever come to life again? Or that fril song birds will ever return with their sun-kissed songs? Yet these things will be. Easter says, "Look up, God reigns, and the universe is secure." The fool who has been parted from his money always feels cheap. Complaints help to prove that there are many persons who are poor sports in various ways. COMMENTS W. J. WHEATON In the April Outlook and Independent Archibald Rutledge has an article, "Wanted A Grenfell." It depicts in gruesome manner the medical needs of the Negroes living on a plantation in "The hinterlands northeast of Charleston, So, Carolina, in the picturesque wilds of the Santee." He tells of the lack of knowledge, even in the simplest matters of health hygiene. He tells in an apparently sympathetic vein of the inroads of disease made on several of his favorite servants of the plantation. One in whose strength and virile manhood he had taken particular pride, appeared before him with a cancerous growth which was eating from nose to brain. Another who "through ignorance of proper diet and treatment was dying of Brights disease. And so on down the line to one of "his" woodchopers who had cut his foot and through ignorance and superstition had inserted a copper penny and bound it up. Result: Gangrene and amputation of the leg. These are deplorable facts and it is not denied that they are true. But in the analysis the author shows that his sympathy is but a coat of thin veneer covering the complex of racial inferiority. His acknowledgement that his Southern ideas of the Negro is that nothing, not even the teaching of healthful living, should be done to arouse him from the apathy of subjection. He says "that the average southerner regards with little enthusiasm the noble experiments of Tuskegee and Hampton." When the subject of a separate hospital was broached to a doctor of the rural district, "My friend looked at me keenly. I had touched a delicate point." Why do you ask me that? He said, "You are a native yourself. "Then he goes on and writes:" It can hardly be denied that the South still recollects the Civil War and the measure freeing the slaves." "As a southerner, I have shared the silent resentment of the south over this imposition; for it has always appeared to me that the slave-holders ruined economically through the loss of their slaves should not have been expected to assume the task of supporting those to whom they were no longer obligated. The abolitionist should have followed up his own work." The article is a very good piece of propaganda for the cause of "Nordic superiority." It subordinates all to the false alarm of "Negro domination." The deplorable plight of the rural Negro as depicted in the article is due to the fact that the average southerner can not forget that the Civil War has been settled for over six decades. That the manumitted slave has in that period made himself one of the most talked of units in our national life. His progress in the arts, sciences and material and industrial provinces is an epoch in the history of races. The old idea that the Negro should be content with cast off clothes and table scraps for service rendered is hard to obliterate from the southern mind. He tells of rural Negroes immorality and says that if it is so in the rural districts, it must be a hundred times worse in the urban centers. That is a pernicious thought; It shows that all conclusions are drawn from the environments as the author describes on his plantation in South Carolina. He: Along wit hmany of the prejudiced southerners who cannot forget that the Civil War is over, and wherever and whenever possible, the manumitted slave has shown as an asset to the nation, looks askance on the efforts to educate and moralize the condition of the rural Negro. They are not enthused over the efforts of Tuskegee and Hampton. They would not encourage the advenant into their community of any white missionary unless he held to the doctrine of Negro subserviency. Beware of the Southerner 'bringing gifts of philanthropy when couched in such terms as the 'Wanted: A Grenfell' article. It breathes of venom. The thin veneer of sympathy does not cover the racial prejudice. To the mind of the author the Negro is but something lost economically to the south through a war. He still resents that loss: The years have failed to eradicate the idea that the Negro was born to slave. Health; Morality and Life, have been subordinated in the effort to keep him content with his environs. He must know nothing of Tuskegee or Hampton, they teach him how to live; how to care for his body and soul and that he is a citizen of a great nation. Southerners like the author, advocate religion as long as it does not conflict with their ideas. They do not want a missionary to teach them bodily cleanliness or there would not be any objection to a hospital for Negroes alon. They do not want him to know how to read or to write; or they would be helpful to Hampton and Tuskegee, or establish rural schools. Prejudice and Ignorant intolerance, farther the fear of Negro domination. Senator to be: Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, present congresswoman at large from Illinois, after an interview with President Hoover, said that she and the President were in accord in all policies save one: World Court. To the entrance of the United States into anything which might entangle the country with foreign alliance she was irrevocably opposed. "No entangling Alliance" was the campaign slogan which defeated Senator Deneen for the re-nomination and made it possible that a woman will be elected to the U. S. Senate. Deneen voted for the entrance of the United States in the World Court. The President favors the World Court and was preparing to present it for ratification to the Senate. It is the consensus of opinion that the vote in Illinois heralds the voice of the American people. Just as the vote in 1926 refuted the effort to enter the country in the League of Nations. Many senators and congressmen who have favored the court are wondering just what the attitude of their constituents will be toward their re-election. There is quite a fight on the House over the restriction of immigration. U. S. Webb, Attorney General for California appeared before the emigration committee and said, "Though the Philippine Islands fly the American Flag, its people are not American citizens and the United States is not obliged to allow Filipinos to come in hordes to this country to take jobs from white men". "Unless Filipino immigration is checked the West Coast soon will be turned into an alien land." Manuel Roxas, Speaker of the Legislature in the Phillipines; said: "Don't exclude Filipinos until you give us the right to exclude your people from our country. If the Philipines are granted independence, I should consider the United States had a right to exclude us, but not until that has been done." Webb said: I can assure you that law, patience and forbearance will prevent racial conflicts. I appeal to you for this legislation to preserve the supremacy of the law. If conditions are not corrected you know what white men will do, law or no law." Walter White, Asst. Sec'y. for the N. A. A. C. P. appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate in protest to the confirmation of Judge Parker, Hoover nominee for justice of the U. S. Supreme court, from North Carolina. The appointment has been opposed by Labor, which holds that decisions made by the Judge have been hurtful to labor's progress. So great has been the pressure that it seemed doubtful at times whether the committee would report favorably. Walter White had a prepared statement made before the committee which recounted the unfavorable decisions and prejudiced utterances made against the Negro by Judge Parker. Some of the instances related to 10 years back. Showing that the N. A. A. C. P. has a pretty long memory. The statement made by White created quite an impression. So much so that Vice-Pres. Curtis advised the president that in the face of so much opposition of Labor and the Negro it would seem advisable to withdraw the name of Judge Parker. It is said that the President declined the advise and will stick by his nominee. Judge McComb has ordered Jacob Berman, who was one of the star evidence dispensers in the Julian Oil emboglio, to jail and placed his bail at $250,000. Berman was arrested on an old charge of embezzlement. Feeling good because he had been promised immunity for his testimony he was strolling in the corridor when a court baliff took him in charge. When the District Attorney appeared in court to protest the arrest of his star witness he was dismissed with a curt "that is all, you may step out." Berman sought to connect the name of California's chief executive with the Julian scandal by asserting that a fund, of $200,000 had been contributed to the campaign committee of Governor Young. It was such a patent error of truthfulness, its design so culpable, that it evoked ridicule. Jordan C. Lewis, former head of the Julian Petroleum Coropration of California, is serving a sentence of seven years in the Federal prison on McNeil Island. It is rumored that former Lieutenant Governor Buron Fitts, who sometime ago announced his candidacy for the nomination of Governor of California, has decided to withdraw from the race. Failure to receive the support promised and a deflection of the enthusiasm which greeted his declaration of candidacy has caused him to decide on that course, it is said. The truth of the rumor is not vouched for, although the veracity of the purveyor is not questioned. It would not be surprising if such stand be taken by the District Attorney of Los Angeles county in the face of the many political blunders that have made his sponsors. It has often been a question with many whether the District Attorney was coagizant of many of the things said and done which detracted from his political popularity. Personally, he is a fine specimen of Americanism. Free from most of the obsessions of color prejudice so common at this day. It is to be regarded that he followed himself to be invailed to pull "political chestnuts from the fire" through the promises of one who had a political ax to grind. Mayor James Rolph, Jr., San Francisco, has heralded his notice to the voters that he is a candidate for Governor. He states that his platform will be forthcoming. The Mayor is a good campaigner and will make the primary election an interesting affair. Prior to his declaration; the Mayor has made many trips through the various counties and claims to have the assurance of support from many leading citizens of the communities. When the Mayor smiles and gives the glad hand it is hard to say no, even when done with the tongue in the cheek. It is said that he intends to use an airplane in his campaign throughout the State and that he will visit every city, town and hamlet. Shake hands with the men: flatter the ladies and kiss the babies. In days past that would be considered good campaigning and vote getting. Today: Voters must have some concrete example of fitness for the office sought. He has made good at the head of a municipality. But there are other considerations. Solving Interracial Problems BY CARL ECHOLS "There are more ways to kill a cat besides drowning him." So with race problems, more ways than one lend themselves to the solution. The bases for race misunderstandings and hatreds are several Race prejudices are economic. In most cases the money-power rules. Exploited races and classes are looked down upon because they are economically weak. Even marriage is controlled to a great extent by the dollar. Mothers teach their daughters to marry the man with the most property, money, etc. Prostitutes sell their bodies for a few dollars; prospective wives sell theirs for a beautiful home to live in or machine to ride in. Between two rival males, the highest bidders usually gets the fair one's hand. These are pure cases of economics. Race prejudices are based on ignorance, Darkness and light cannot dwell in the same place at the same time. Ignorance is darkness; knowledge is light. Schools, the press, the lyceum and the movies will help to create inter-racial good-will, over night, when they really have the desire to do so. When they cease so damp much ado about non-Nordic criminals, inferior races, etc., and spend more time emphasizing the constructive contributions and good traits of all peoples they will change public opinion. Too many schools, press, lecturers, and movies teach race hatred. Race prejudice is based on color. In some Latin American communities the society is broken up into many classes. The blacks are at the base of the social pyramid and the white Saxons at the apex. However, the Anglo-Saxons are usually more guilty of this type of prejudice. Yet, among Negroes even, we find "colonies" or clubs where dark Negroes are undesirable. There are churches, I am told, where only light Negroes are wanted. On the other hand, we find black Negroes thinking themselves superior to the lights. Science and common sense has shown the foolishness of color prejudice. Race prejudices are based on differences. Those whom we misunderstand, whom we differ from, we are apt to discredit. How would we solve the race problem? (1) By not teaching it to the children (2) by learning about other peoples (3) by ushering in a new economic scheme of things (4) by social contact, (5) by forums, conference, etc. It is just as possible that when Negroes organize economically and politically they will find that seven-eighths of the prejudices against them is due to their inferior economic status. 24th Infantry Wins 4th Corps Championship Match Fort Benning, Ga., April 15—(ANP) Colonel Paul C. Galloher, commanding the 24th Infantry stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, has received an official bulletin from the National Rifle Association announcing that the 24th Infantry Small Bore Corps Area for 1930 with the total score of 3.376. The 29th Infantry also stationed at Fort Benning was a close second with 3.367 points; the 8th Infantry at Fort Moultie, S. C. was third and the 22nd Infantry at Fort McPherson. Gr. was 4th The Secretary of War has designated Sergeant Scott Bradford. Headquarters Company, 24th Infantry at Fort Benning, Georgia a distinguished marksman and has ordered that a distinguished Marksman's badge be issued. Supreme Escot J. E. Rector To Be Honored The officers and members of the local camps of the American Woodmen are preparing for a triple celebration during the two weeks beginning April 15th and closing April 30. The membership campaign which is now being waged, will for those two weeks be as a memorial to C. M. White the late former chieftan of the Order. On Friday night, April 18th the camps will hold a joint programme in honor of J. E. Rector who was elected Supreme Escort at the Quadrennial Convention last August and on Sunday afternoon, April 27 at the Hamilton M. E. Church the Annual Anniversary Celebration will take place. Possibly two hundred new members Friday, April 18, 1930 BY THE DEACON UNSOLICITED ADVICE The Women's Republican Study Club, Is sailing on wings of the morning; Although the political parasites say, It should die a birning. A host of loyal women Of the most courageous kind, Are studying men and measures On a scientific line. They have declared their intention To destroy the political racketeers. Who have prayed upon suffering candidates. For lo these many years. Now, it is an established fact That women like to talk, And upon some special occasions, They have been known to balk. The mule has no monopoly Upon the balking game, A woman can discount him And make him blush for shame. But if she is convinced Of the justice of her cause, She will go forth to battle In spite of men or faws. The bee is a diligent worker From sun to sun it will roam, Extracting from certain flowers, The honey for its comb. But in every bee hive There is a Soviet. Who spends his time in idleness, While others toil and sweat. May God bless our women, With all their charms, and graces; Help them Lord, and hold them fast, Or, else they'll kick the traces. We know that unsolicited advice Oftimes go by unleeded. Although wisdom may dictate, That such advice is needed. Now may we be permitted To warn you of the danger. That lurks around the corner In the Old Republican Manger? The Sons of Annanias. And the daughters of Saphire. Are planning to bombard you With their most notorious liar. When you hear Annanias speak Don't be scared or peeved; As he begins to blow and puff. Like an old horse with the heaves. Study your grafting sisters Who live on political loot; And swap horses in the stream, For Fifty Cents per boot. While you are at your studies, Will you try to ascertain. The amount that campaign managers Pay Uncle Tom and Aunt Jane. There is a well developed plan. To divide the colored vote; And do as they have always done Make Colored Folk the Goat. Beware of wolves that come. Dressed in clothes like sheep; They are seeking to divide you. And rock you off to sleep.

Mr. Show Woo, Chinese research chemist, of California Tech, will speak on The Three Principles of Sun Yat Sen. Mr. Woo will also play upon some native Chinese instruments. He has appeared before Harvard and Yale Universities and many other leading educational institutions throughout the United States. These meetings are gaining popularity rapidly. This weeks' mail brought news from a New York publisher and a Hollywood organization, both sending their wishes for the future success of the meetings. Sunday afternoon we appeared at Wesley Chapel before the Southern California Alumni Association, and have already been asked to return to the city in the near future. We (1) have also been invited to conduct a meeting during the entire evening service at a church in Venice, (2) At the Westminster Presbyterian church of Pasadena, (3) Quaker church Pasadena, (4) and the Chicago club in the near future. Among the speakers last Sunday at Wesley Chapel were: Dr. Stovall, John Falk (Swede) Esther Inzin (Norwegian) Karum Slugh (Hindu) Daisey Gin (Chinese) Kathleen Burleigh (English) Aurelius Adriano (Filipino) George S. Grant and Thomas Anderson (colored). Remember the library meeting Monday, April 20. Time 2 to 5 p. m. Place: Main library. Yes, I heard Pickens Friday night. Even with my average intelligence, I dare say that he is one of our brainiest leaders. To listen to his common place talk is to understand how he gets his message across to the masses as well as to the elect few. Picken is a Yale man, but what does he care about that. That he won oraterial, contest at old Ely means little to him when it comes to making himself understood by the common people. Now, if there are those who think that the N. A. A. C. P., is a grafting organization or that it is accomplishing little toward solving the Negro's real problem let them give their reasons for their opinions. But to fail to assist a movement is not the way to correct its weaknesses. Get on the inside and help make it, what you think it should be. The attendance was good but not a capacity house. Probably the hundred and thirteen other Negro organizations of Pasadena were giving entertainments at least we are told that three or more of the church choirs were holding rehearsals. The Lord has been resurrected nearly two thousand years. What these choir singers need, most of them, is to be resurrected from their death. During could hear pauses in Mr. Pickens' address I could hear outrageous attempts at a cantata or such. It is too bad that they cannot cease their belowing long enough to pay tribute to a cause that aims at helping the Negroes on a large scale. I have been hearing these important choirs for several years, and I have yet to notice much improvement in their singing. The next time there appears some worth while program at the church, I suggest that the singers hush their noise for a period and at least pay the respect of their silence if not presence. The Baptist songsters are guilty of th same offense, but this time it is the First A. M. E. larks that caused the distraction. Despite the distraction, Mrs. Hicks was always the efficient mistress of ceremony. Yours in Disgust. AN EYE WITNESS. BUSINESS Continuing our policy of extending encouragement to those of our group who will step out in the commercial life of Pasadena we wish to draw your attention to the young colored man Herbert Raney who is representing the Home Laundry company one of the largest Steam Laundries in Pasadena. We notice as we go about town that the Laundries who do not employ any of our young men as solicitors, are still enjoying the patronage of many families of our group. Mr. Raney who has grown up from young boyhood in Pasadena and whose mother was one of the early members of our church has warranted the confidence of the company whom he represents and has measured up to the standard that they 'set for their drivers, and it would seem right that we should appreciate his efforts, ability by giving him the work that we Margaret Clark's Tivoli Beauty Shop and how! Nothing short but the hair. Out of this world. Emma Roark, exclusive design. Just too bad!

CLUBS— Courtesy Committee second and fourth Thursday evenings. New York club meets second and fourth Friday evenings. If without a Church Home, we extend all a cordial invitation to make this your Church Home, if the place is of your choice. N. I. B. C. club, second and fourth Thursday evenings; Sewing Circle, every Tuesday evening; Kansas club, first and third Saturday evenings. The N. I. B. C. club was entertained Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. James Marks at 787 S. Main street, Pomona, Calif. Twenty-seven young people enjoyed the evening. An interesting program was rendered. A lovely repast was served by the hostess. The Chicago club met Sunday afternoon from 5 to 7 at Metropolitan Baptist church. Mrs. Eva Burton is planning to have the interracial Forum to conduct one of its meetings during the club session in the near future. First A. M. E.—Geo. Martin, Pastor: THE PASTOR'S VQICE Dearly beloved: We are entering the period held sacred to the memory of our Lord's great passion. As the thoughts of His vicarious suffering and death flit in panoramic view before our mind may we behold the great love He had for us that He gave His life a ransom for ours. And in the thought of His death and the knowledge of His resurrection may we find unalloyed joy. Happy to know that He conquered death and lives forever more and that as many as love Him shall live with Him eternally. There can be no doubt that you feel that this should be a season of refreshing. A time for spiritual renewing and ingathering of souls. Sensing this to be your attitude we are having services each night this week. The services will be built around the incidences of our Lord's Life during the last week before His crucifixion. Attention is called to the members of the Agenda club to their meeting on Tuesday as some very important matters are to come up for consideration and it is desirous that all members attend. Keep in mind the Spring Fashion Pageant because of the Services here we are compelled to change our date until after Easter. The pastor was the speaker at the Friendship Banquet on Thursday evening using as his subject, "Thought" which has received much favorable comment. Each and All If you neglect to support your church, As members sometimes do. If you don't pay, I have this to say, "Then somebody pays for you." When funds are low and your church needs help, When a host of bills are due, If you don't give that the church may live. Then somebody gives for you. For your church to spread the Kingdom here Friendship Baptist—W. D. Carter Pastor: The pastor has been very busy with the sick and shut-ins. No one should forget those who are under the hand of affliction. Remember, sooner or later sickness will come to one and all of us. The following are some of those on the sick list: Mrs. Jefferson, Mrs. Mann and her son, Amos: Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Haskins, daughter, Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Martin is at the County Home and is very sick, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Troy is better, Mrs. Moss is better, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Long is better, Mr. Lytheum is at the Pasadena hospital very ill. Rev. Lawson is at the General Hospital, and is doing nicely, Mr. Walter North is able to be out again. Mrs. Theima Nelson and the new comer, little Matthew Roland Nelson are doing one. The other children of the Nelson family are happy over the advent of "Our New Baby." PICKENS SPEAKS The N. A. A. C. P. mass meeting was attended Friday evening by a good house, but not a capacity one. DEATH Mrs. Cora Lee Williams of 76 W.

Lincoln Theatre, April 24th This writer does not have at hand the exact wording of the text that he will use, but we are confident that those who will be present will go away well benefited with nothing to regret. Bishop Philips arrived in our City Thursday 10th and was elaborately entertained with a three course dinner at the Parsonage by the Steward board. This entertainment began at 6:00 P. M., and lasted far into the evening. Various members of the board made short talks, some relating the history of the Church. At 6:00 P. M. Sunday, Epworth League was conducted by Miss Sapp, who is deeply devoted to that department of the Church. The evening models of the City participated displaying the very latest styles of the season. Mrs. Norwood is known for her ability as a Promoter of successful Church entertainments. The public has a standing invitation to worship with us every Wednesday evening in our Prayer Services. For the past week our Pastor Rev. N. H. Humphreys has had on a special drive for the purpose of raising an amount of money necessary to meet a pressing obligation. This drive closes Sunday, April 20th and we are almost certain that he will succeed in raising the required amount. Mine. Davidson offers creations that spell only superb. SAN DIEGO SECTION By Mrs. E. B. Wesley Dean William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who spent two days in the city in the interest of the local organization, left for Santa Barbara, Monday night after delivering his master-piece address on "Lincoln" to a capacity house at the Bethel A. M. E. Church. A well arranged musical program was rendered. Mr. H. N. Galbreth, was Master of Ceremonies, and Mrs. J. R. Craft, President of the San Diego branch, presided. A fre eluncheon was served at the close of the meeting which was enjoyed by all. Last Sunday morning at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Dr. Pickens presented eight or ten babies, who are to take part in the N. A. A. C. P. Baby Contest conducted by Mrs. Josephine Wilson and her committee. A large crowd greeted Dr. Pickens, and a very interesting program was rendered. Sunday afternoon at the Unitarian Church, under the auspices of the young people's forum, he also delivered ad address which was very interesting. Mrs. Clara Hicks, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. L. McDonald for the past four weeks, returned to her home in Denver, via San Francisco, this week. Mrs. Hicks made many friends during her stay in the city, who regretted to see her leave. Mr. Win. Long was in the city Saturday, meeting his many former Colorado Springs acquaintances. He left for Los Angeles Sunday. Rev. and Mrs. McPherson, of La Jolla, spent several days in Los Angeles, last week. Mrs. Margaret Young Harper rendered a vocal solo, accompanied by Mrs. Madge Wilkins, Saturday afternoon at the Thearle Company's Music House. It is a great credit to one to appear on program at this foremost local music house as the programs always consist, of artists of first-class ability. Not only a credit to the participants, but the people who were present. Mrs. Harper possesses a soporano voice of exceptional quality and range. Mrs. Mayola Johnson Curl was soloist at a big meeting at the First A. M. E. church, Friday afternoon. Mrs. Curl is one of those soloists who always pleases her audience. Choir Contest—There was a large and representative gathering at Calvary Baptist church last Thursday night to hear Bethel A. M. E. choir, directed by Mrs. E. B. Wesley, and Calvary Baptist choir, directed by Mr. L. J. Knight. Ask those who heard them how they sang? One was really the winner, but the judges decided on rather came to no decision. So after some hesitancy on their part, it was taken for granted that it was a tie, which is supposed to be untied at some future date. Rev. J. H. Brown is pastor of Calvary Baptist and Rev. X. C. Runyon, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church. Miss Octavia Payne, pianist and student at State College, and cadet at Stockton school, is spending her Easter vacation with relatives and friends in the Valley. The race relations program, under the management of Mr. D. V. Allen, at Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday night, was up to the standard as usual. Mr. Bob Baker's string orchestra of the First A. M. E. church, Mrs. Ruth Allen's readings, and the able address by Miss Ada York, San Diego County Superintendent of schools, were the outstanding features of the program. Other numbers on the program were very good also. Will you kindly help us in bringing the San Diego section of the California Eagle to the front, so that we may look upon it with some degree of pride? You will, I believe. Thank you. Helping others means a step toward one's elevation. Tried in good faith will not fail. The Doughs Nite club enjoyed another week of hilarity and its usual large patronage, with special features on certain nights. It is really the place to go when you are looking for a goo dtime. A little play entitled, "The Wonderful Mother," written by Miss Bobbile Logan of this city will be presented soon, sponsored by the local N. A. A. C. P. Miss Logan is a young writer and bids fair to accomplish great things in her chosen field of endeavor. Subscribe for the California Eagle. Reliable, newsy and interesting.

Monrovia Colored Citizens Strongly Endorse Col. Robert E. Firth for Supervisor From 1st Los Angeles County District THE NEW YORK TIMES It will be interesting to know that the announcement of no candidate for public office can receive from the hands of the colored people of Monrovia the genuine and sincere consideration than that for Col. Robert E. Firth, who on last week announced his candidacy for Supervisor from the First Los Angeles District. Col. Firth, soldier, banker, executive is a prime favorite among all citizens in the city of Monrovia and its environs. He has ever stood for the highest ideals of citizenship and for a fair and square deal for all of the people whom he serves. Particularly will the record of Cols Firth appeal to the colored voters of his district when it is known that he served as an officer in the world's renowned and gallant 24th Infantry and saw service in many of its great attainments upon the field of battle. It is said that the members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry idolized the doughty Colonel for his demeanor and his attitude at all times to give to the colored soldiers a fair deal Many of the colored citizens on Colonel's decision to stand for the nomination for Supervisor unhesitatingly gave their hearty endorsement and pledged their support. Among them: Mr. John Jackson, well known pioneer resident of Monrovia; W. E. Lockett, old war horse and seasoned veteran of many political contests and withal one of Monrovia's leading and highly respected citizens, Mr. E. D. Gladney spoke in the highest terms and expressed himself as a strong supporter of Col. Firth's cause; J. I. W.

Firth as was also his son, Julian Fisher who is following in the footsteps of his sire along business lines, were strong endorsers of Col. Firth. Likewise Mr. J. H. Thompson well known as one of the solid citizens of Monrovia endorse mbst highly the candidacy of Colonel Firth. E. J. Harshorn is numbered among the many who are volunteer endorsers and declares no better man could be found anywhere to fill this important position. These endorsements of what the people know and think of a man in his home town has a far reaching effect, and in this instance no doubt will stand to Col. Firth as a worth while asset in his approaching campaign. For be it known with three men now in the race, the colored vote united, surely will be the balance which will decide the election. This situation is even more apparent when it is considered there is a strong healthy bilateral vote in this district, comprising the towns of Monrofa, Duarte, Pomona, Long Beach; Watts a part of Furlong Tract, this vote looms up a very great factor in the Supervisors race. Therefore at the outset of this campaign with the 'Colonel's popularity, his record as a soldier, business man and executive, he stands in the front rank for recognition from all classes of the electorate of his district and has a big edge for consideration and support trol the voters of the colored race.

VA.—The redoubtable Fisk debating team, under the tutorship of Mr. Louis S. Shores and Dr. Lorenzo D. Turner, ended their spring tour, when hey presented their wares in an open forum, no decision discussion here. Saturday night before a crowded house in their first clash with the sturdy Bluefield Institute debaters in the school's auditorium, on the question: "Should the United States Recognize Soviet Russia?" Contending in the affirmative, the Fiskites pointed out that only two conditions are necessary for recognition; illumination of international obligations and a stable government; these they declared Soviet Russia had met. The Bluefielders vigorously denied their allegations, including the economic, social and religious aspects in their argument. Because of unavoidable delay, the Tennesseeans arriving late from New York City and Richmond where they bet, Lincoln University (Pa.) and Virginia Union, respectively, the debate, scheduled for eight did, not begin until ten-fifteen. But the crowd waited patiently, while the Men's Glee Club, directed by Mr. B. L. Walton, with Mr. James A. Moore as solist, rendered pleasing numbers. W. D. Hawkins, was the stellar speaker for Fisk, and William H. Gray, Jr., a freshman, took similar honors for Bluefield. Both teams demonstrated skill in presenting their arguments and meeting the objections of their opponents. R. A. Ewing and J. C. Brown completed theisk trio, and Miss Emaline Jenkins, R. Merritt Smith, with Hazel V. Clarke, alternate, were included in the Bluefield Institute Team which is coached by Le Roy S. Hart. Prof. Hart who will be remembered in Los Angeles by a host of friends is director of Bluelield Institute, making a great record there in his new duties.

BANK ROBBERS DAX The fourth Sunday in April is Bank ROBBERS DAX. M. E. Zion Church. This. I am sure is a new in Church History. Tell Solomon that we do if find once in a great while a "new thing under the Sun." For the Church to engage in bank robbing may shock some people, because they expect the Church to preach and teach against, Bank Robbing. Ordinary this church would preach against such a thing but here is the situation—this church has not had a financial effort of any kind since before conference last year and the membership decided not to have a spring fair this year. We usually have to have some extra money in the Spring (and a little more in the fall) to tide us over the summer vacations. So it looks as if our only sure shop is to rob these banks on the Fourth Sunday in April. Each member and friend have agreed to take one of the banks and put five Dollars in that bank and bring that bank to the church on the Fourth Sunday and join the wholesale Bank Robbing. Do not get cold feet; all together let go. ITEMS OF INTEREST IN CON- NECTION WITH VAL VERDE EASTER SUNRISE SERVICES Services will commence promptly at 5:00 a.m., on Sunrise Hill.

BATEMAN "Carry me back to Ole virginny, Dah's whah de cotten, corn and swee potatoes grow; Dah's whah de tirds warble sweet in de srringtime Dah's whah dis ole darkey's hebt does long to go." 1980 Rain drenched Washington, D.C. in the middle of June. Black lowering clouds, bolts of thunder, flashes of lightening, rain, rain in deafening torrents and then—it is tall over. Hurriedly we gather the few articles we have unpacked to be gone. Virginia. Virginia at last one goal. A nervousness creeps over me. How long have I wanted to behold this historic spot and now that it is within 'arms reach' I would put off the adventure yet a little while just think we are only three hours drive from the city of Richmond in fact the captol in part is made up from a slice off this north end of Virginia through the generosity of the early Virginians hastening to the station, buoyed up with thoughts visionary. Virginity: "Ol Virginity" at last! Land of southern skies, where birds warble sweet in the spring time, of fields at bloom with waving cornstalks their blossoms silky white under the summer skies. Of singing groups of black folks happy in their endless tools. How my heart has longed to go, to this visualized land, of content. We check out our baggage. The red cap leads us forward through the expanse of the big white union depot. We think of Washington, D. C. as a homely spot and feel sure that we shall again walk its streets view again the beautiful brownstone front apartments houses. The homes of the capitals blue veined brown skin citizenry we walk nd walk reaching at last the trains. The smoking engine seems impatient to be off. We gladly jump into the coach which the red cap indicates as ours because it seems nearer than the rest we think of nothing more important than finding a comfortable seat for our short journey. In rushing into the coach it does not at first strike me as being out-of-the ordinary except for the closeness of the place. I find a whole seat settle my baggage and then cast my eye around for relief from the stifling atmosphere "What this?" my thoughts freeze in their formation. I see the black, black sign it's cruelly large lettering striking as surely and more forcefully than ever old physical blow. I recoil from it in awakening fright. Its effect on me is that a child might feel in being lifted in the arms of what she might think her father, eyes closed in happy trust, on opening them she looks into the glaring demon eyes of an absolute stranger. So the nation's capitol had tricked me. I had so trusted its protection, re-gilled in this, the seat of justice. Now here in the smoking rear end of the baggage car, packed in like dumb animals, labeled that one might know what they were. "Negroes" sat with scoring limbs, the heat of the summer's sun enclosed with that of the red hot engine exauned, limbs with shame I hid my face in hands that trembled. MASS MEETING B SUCCESS (Continued From Page One) Ross, Mr. Hall, and Mr. L. G. Clark, Snta Monica. Business man and brother in law of Miss Edna Heard. Among remarks of Mentis Carrier was the statement that the Negro is on the brink of destruction. That we are so economically weak that no one has to enter to us, and no one has to treat us right. Our power lies in the control of what we consume. White men will give us anything we ask for but jobs and they need them for themselves. He also stated that there are between 60,000 and 75,000 Negroes in Los Angeles; that there are $225,000 worth of food consumed in a week by Negroes in Los Angeles. On 16 articles alone, we spend $44,300,000 yearly. Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, the principal speaker, in her address said among other things: If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNJA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened CINEMA "We are suffering from a great economic cancer and must subject ourselves to the knife and be cured. She took for her subject. "The Negro in Three Periods." First came the period of slavery in which the Negro learned to be suspicious and superstitious, but that period has passed and we must forget it. Then came the Reconstruction Period from which we produced the hat in hand, begging sort of Negro; but we have passed from that period also, and are now facing a peculiar condition. It seems that we are just shuffling along, not realizing exactly the condition we are in. We have too few big Negroes and too many little Negroes and we must come together, so we can distribute some of this business and understand ourselves better economically. We are being deprived of jobs we have always had bootblacks, laundries, etc. The greatest problem we have is the bread and butter problem." She spoke of Negroes patronizing the chain stores, and asked if we owned any stock in these chain stores that we supported so loyally. She asked support for the Pyramid Grocery Cooperative Association, the Liberty Loan and the Golden State; and that we make demands on those of other races with whom we spend money that if properly organized, we could make demands and have them receive a hearing, because our strength would be feared and respected to that extent. She made an appeal for the organization of an industrial council saying if we did not come together, we would soon find ourselves backed off into the Pacific Ocean, so to speak. "We must organize stores of all kinds." We do not even raise, the chickens, or vegetables we consume; not even the flowers we buy. She asked the audience to forget petty prejudices and support Negro business, in other words, to take care of what we have. CHINESE PORTERS MENTIONED Mrs. Bass mentioned the recent replacement of colored Pullman Porters by Chinese and remarked that if the United States, which never fails to call upon the Negro in time of war, expects us to be physically fit to risk our lives, our jobs should not be given to aliens. She stated also that Chinese Japanese or other races could not be trusted with intimate secrets frequently disclosed by statesmen in public conveyances of logging places. She made urgent appeal for an awakening of consciousness, she said she did not mean to tell the audience that the white man was his enemy for he is really our friend, but that the white man is standing by and wondering what the Negro is thinking; and he is amazed that we are not doing something for ourselves and for our children. He respects us more; the white man in any part of the world respects the number of dollars you have. We must link hands and get the kind of economic independence, that we need." Concluding her remarks, Mrs. Bass asked for the appreciation and support of the press. After Mrs. Bass' address, an appeal was made for those in the audience to come forward and leave their names and addresses that out of this meeting an industrial council might be organized, to which nearly the entire audience responded. The meeting was a huge success attested by interest and enthusiasm manifested. The music was furnished by Elder Rogers and his Junior Choir of Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist Church. Killing Ends a Series of Quarrels cide but bound her over for further investigation. Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker issued a complaint and she was remanded to jail awaiting preliminary trial April 15th. Interment of Penn was planned to take place from the Sawtelle Soldiers' Home as he was an ex-soldier. MARRIED BEFORE Jack has a former wife living in this city. On January, 5, 1922 he was married to Miss Sewilla Pollard. On grounds of cruelty she divorced him on April 22, 1925, later becoming Mrs. Robert G. Lamar. ON THE SIDE WALK the affair wish through this medium to express their appreciation for the hearty response received from the public at large. It showed that the people are ready to co-operate for their industrial good when their actual economic condition is brought face to face HOTEL LOBBY HOTEL SOMERVILLE LADIES LOUNGE to their attention and they represented with facts as they really are. The silent parade carrying banners of appeal met with response and at the Second Baptist Church, where the great concourse of people, led by the women assembled, a lively discussion followed and intially rememories for hettering our economic condition were offered. The next great mass meeting will be held Sunday afternoon, May 11 at the Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist Church of which Elder C. P. Rodgers is the pastor. Those who gave their names as part of this organization and the genera puonic are invited. Service At Hamilton M. E. Church Last Sunday Afternoon Hamilton M. E. Church.

Or do you want something for nothing? is your system permeated with the element of honesty and fairness to the extent that, when your subscription account is presented for payment, your conscience pricks you. If you put the collector off with first one excuse and then another? Are you in that class of subscribers who awake suddenly to the fact that they do not want the paper, when asked to pay up? Fairness to yourself demands that you cease abusing your consciencece. Pay something and show an honestest inclination at least. Consider the time and patience of your collector. I thank you—E. G. S.

CHURGH LOS ANGELES; A NOVEL AFFAIR E. W. Thornton. reporter The hearts of the people connected with Bethel A. M. E. Church were made recoice Sunday, April 13 to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in grace and in substance. The morning services were indeed novel. Sister Emma J. Guy, licensed missionary worker, known to her friends as Mother Guy, had charge of the service. The nature of which was sermonettes by three of the Missionary workers of the church. Mrs. Mary P. King, wife of Rev. King, opened the service and also delivered the first mesagse "the Triumphant Entry." Mrs. Mattie Grabenheimer offered up, prayer and spoke on "Love." Miss Sue Prioleau read the scripture and used as her subject "Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusalem." The sermonettes by these three young women were concise, logical, and delivered with spiritual fervor that their peers would do much to emulate. Mother Guy summarized the talks and extended the invitation for membership. The offering of the morning service had a peculiar manifestation in its scope. It was lead by Baby Mary Ethel King, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. King, who placed on the table a new $50 bill. This was immediately followed by another $50 bill given by Sister Sädie Harris who is reported to be the oldest member in the church. This with other donations totaled around $250. The evening program was indeed unique. It is traditional that the churches of Southern California do not have largely attended evening services. But Bethel made an exception to this record attendance which filled the house to its capacity. Mrs. Neosho V. Bartleson, sponsor of the program, did herself proud in the arrangement and rendering of the same. The services were under the auspices of citizens of Kansasand. Missouri. A number of those present and on the program were former students of Mrs. Bartleson at Lincoln High, Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Bartleson, a graduate of Kansas University, is a well prepared music instructor of voice and piano and has her studjo on the Westside in this city.

We will have all the fatal news in a few hours and while we are exposing will expose a lot of other funny dealings that are going on all the time right here.

The new firm is known as the "Twenty-eighth Street Market" and is following a policy of courtesy, accommodation and real bargains at the very lowest prices. On account of the rapidly approaching warm weather Mr. Sullivan intends t owatch his stock closely, so as not to allow any but the freshest meats to reach the hands of his highly appreciated customers. As a special Easter feature he is making a sale of choice Puritan Hams at the very low price of 27c per pound.

SHOWING 'EM HOW IN NEW YORK THE BOXING CLUB SAMMY JACKSON is now in New York for some big battles. THE BATTLE FOR THE WIN Making one of the most rapid rises in local Fistiana, Len Porter hard sooking young colored fighter, weight 136 pounds, is advancing rapidly to the top of his division. Len was in New York under the direction of Cherokee Tom Scott as a stable-mate of Baby Joe Gans. They brought him here but after the death of Larnie Lichenstein when they returned to New York. Len remained here. He went to Bakersfield with Frankie Goosby visiting him at his home there. While there. Len who had been picking a deal of experience around New York, began to tapping the Bakersfield fight card at once, and received much front space in the Dailies there. Especially was this so, following a sensational K. O. of Tommy Smith in five rounds. On Loos's record day. Cadena—W.; Frankie Boldt—D; Rita Punay —D.; Johnnie Blair—K.O., 3 Ray Mitchel—K.O. 1; Julio Romero—K.O. 1; Henry Mascal—K.O. 3; E. Whitehead, K.O. 5; Mike Waters —D.; Freddie Hawkins—D. Leonard Bennet—D. Tommy Smith—K.O. 5; Johnnie Spencer—W. and Dud Eades—W. His latest fgift was one that entered an unpopular decision against him at Ocean Park, on April 11, when Fred Gilmore, referee surprised everyone by awarding the decision to his opponent, Friddie Welch. At Pasadena two Thursdays past, he beat Johnnie Spencer six straight rounds. Len is quiet and gentlemanly and was recently married to a charming little wife. Bill Kershner, experienced young manager has Len-in charge and is determined to carry him all the way. Wrestling Titled Intended Vacated The winner of the Everett Marshall-Ed "Strangler" Lewis bout, at the Olympic Wednesday night, was to be declared the world's heavyweight wrestling champion. That was the possibility that loomed as the result of Champion Gus Sonnenberg's constant refusal to meet logical title-contenders in bouts in this section, is was reported. Promoter Lou Daro declared that if Sonnenberg would refuse to meet the winner of the Lewis-Marshall bout he would ask that the winner of Wednesday night's match be declared champion. ART HAMILTON, Associate Editor Thompson Gets New Chance at Fields Chicago, April 16.—By virtue of the great fight which he put up against Jimmy McLarnin in New York two weeks ago, Young Jack Thompson, who was thrown into the pugilistic spotlight eighteen months ago by a two-round knock-out of Joe Dundee, then the kingpin of the wetterweight 'division,' has been matched to fight Jackie Fields, the present wetterweight champion, in Detroit, May 16. Fields won the championship from Dundee in Detroit last year on a foul. The next meeting of Fields and Thompson will mark the third fracas between the pair. Fields won both the other bouts. Strangely, enough, nobody else has obtained an unquestioned decision over Thompson since he became a first-rank fighter. It was claimed after the first fight of the pair out in the Golden West that Jackie had attacked Thompson by sticking his thumb in the latter's eye, thus blinding the colored battler early in the fight and putting him under a handicap. In the Chicago fight something queer happened in the first round. Thompson was almost on the verge of being knocked out. But in the second and succeeding rounds, he came back strong and was beating the champion until a riot occurred in the crowded hall and unnerved him. From then on it was Fields and the verdict was given to him. It was also believed by friends of the colored battler in this city that the fast life of the big town had operated to soften Thompson so that he was not in the best of shape for Fields. It seems, however, that, according to the showing made in the McLarnin fight, that has taken hold of himself and is as invincible as when he kayed Dundee. THE MAYOR M. B.

BOP NEWTON MEETS KNOCK-OUT ARTIST SATURDAY After a long string of thrilling one round knock-out victories that have made him the Main Street Athletic club's biggest drawing card, Sandy Garrison Casanova is to fight a colored boy Saturday for the first time all during his brilliant but brief career. The speedy, hard-hitting Sandy has met opponents of all nations, and seems to have the Indian sign on them the moment the bell bangs. Some ored opponents, some seem to lose to white fighters have good luck with co-every one they meet. So boxing fans are anxious to see how sandy stacks up against his first dark opponent. NEWTON HAS GOOD RECORD In reality Garrison is up against a real test, the hardest of all his battles. Bob Newton has as was printed in our last issue, a splendid record having met the best boys in the game during the five years of his fight career. Most of his matches have been in San Diego and Las Vegas where he is quite a card. He has knocked out Lenor Montoe, Jack Carpenter, Domenguez, and other well known battlers. Newton has never appeared here but showed in some fast workouts last week with Joe Anderson, that he has speed, cleverness and punch. He swears by all that's good and bad to steal Sandy's thunder and beat him. NATIONAL NEGRO SUMMER RESORT IDLEWILD AND WOODLAND NOW MECCA FOR DARK SKINNED ARISTOCRACY (By: A. N. A.) Chicago, April 16.—Idlewild, the original summer colony for the elite of colored America, has, it has just been learned, been merged with Woodland Park, another summer resort under new owners and management, with a program of expanded activities calculated to make it the big, bright spot in the American Negro's summer recreation. The new company is to be know as Idlewild-Woodland, Inc., and plans are on foot for starting immediately a building program which is to include a new hotel and public amusement features to cost $100,000. The state has built new roads throughout the territory. It is the hope of the new group to ally with the enterprise every colored leader who realizes its importance and develop a truly national playground. When Earnie Owens the big young kid who patient Dutch Meyers has been carefully bringing along substituted for Frankie Campbell on an hour's notice and a full stomach he made a big hit with the boxing fans. Then when he knocked the big tattooed sailor man kicking in a few short sessions that night he received a rousing cheer from the Olympic fans and their O. K. as a real fighter. So it was an easy matter to match him for next Tuesday night with Max Baer. Max hails from northern California, where men are men, and foes are terrific, but so far the big heavy hasn't been accused of being anything less than a real he-man fighter, but to the contrary he was accused by the commission once of letting an opponent ride, when he could have stopped him "soon and sudden." This, and a squirable with his manager kept him out for a time but business is all O. K. now so he comes here seeking others worlds to conquer. Of course he is anxious to carry Ernie's scalp back to Oakland and Frisco so as to make sure of returning here for more matches. Aside from the Spiker match Owens recently suprised everyone by holding that great heavyweight, Dynapite Jackson to a draw. Another colored fighter he met but defeated after a hard battle was Jake Kilrain tough crafty veteran of the ring who also stayed the limit with George Godfrey at Culver City. Much interest is around in the Owens-Baer match. A classy card of preliminary precede the main event. ETHEL WATERS OPENS IN CHICAGO Chicago, April 16.—(By Associated Negro Press) Ethel Waters, queen of the low-down blues, and billed as the highest-salaried colored star in the world, will open at an engagement of one week at the Regal Theater here, starting April 19. Miss Waters has just returned from an extended tour of Europe during which she sang in all the gay capitals of the Old World. NOTED SIGNER AT HOT SPRINGS Chicago, April 16.—George R. Garner, international tenor, left the city Monday for a two weeks' visit at Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. Garner had just returned from a trip to Georgia, where he had sung in the city of Athens. As soon as Mr. Garner has returned, active work will start on the training of the huge chorus which he is to direct for the Golden Jubilee celebration of the National Baptist Convention which is to be held in this city in August. LAST WEEKS RESULTS AT CARLO'S Russell Brooks proved to be a tough middleweight nad went the route with Jose Peregrina last Saturday night. Results of the other bouts follow: Guy McKenny scored a knockdown over Dave Rodriguez to win the decision in the semiwindup. Bobby Garcia decisioned Roy Salisbury. Oral Eubanks, won from Louis Gordon and George Monzon took the decision from Danny Solis. HOLLYWOOD PUSHED UP—To avoid Good Friday, Hollywood was presenting this card as we go to press Jose Peregrina, Mexican, middleweight, and Homer fight the main event with a great run-up card. BEACH RESORT NEEDED HERE Although facilities for pleasures in the open, and fishing, hunting, etc., in the mountains a replentiful there is no real, established resort in the west operated by Negroes and catering to their particular wants. An institution of this kind is badly needed on the ocean front, so as to properly welcome the hundreds of race visitors who face here to escape the swattering summer heat back East.
