DAME CUPID RUNS RIOT
ALBRITTON AND SMITH PLEAD GUILTY FIRST DEGREE MURDER
VOLUME 42
ON THE SIDEWALK
BY C. A. B.
IT HAS BEEN brought to our attention that a certain individual, the wife of one of our officials, is hobnobbing with some of our better-clas Negro citizens to the end of directing all political activities of Negroes in Los Angeles; and it is further alleged that this same person objects seriously to the organization known as the Republican Study Club among Negro women. Whether these are truths or merely accusations, at this time we are unable to state, but we do say, that if either or both of these statements are true, that such white political pirates who prey on Negroes with the object of bartering their suffrage either to the highest bidder of for self aggrandisement, should be relegated to the political dump heap, or at least wised up to the Negro's state of mind politically. The day when the white boss resigned supreme and directed the thoughts and actions of Negroes is gone. Truly, this type white boss has been diligently at work grinding out Negro bosses to take his place and through such medium getting his program over; but even the handmade Negro-political boss is seeing the hand writing on the wall and his day too, will soon be done.
THE PROGRAM INTENDED to describe and belittle the spiritual significance of Easter was staged in Russia during the week preceding Easter. Unfortunately, Christian religion has been like a Latin verb, wanting in some of its parts, hence, it can but shamefully lift its head in protest against this demonstration of atheism. If the Christians of the world had practiced, What Christianity really taught, there would be some foundation for argument against the spread of this new old thought that is spreading itself over Russia at this period. The argument that the atheists advance is that they teach the brotherhood of man, while Christianity on the other hand teaches the superiority of the Gentile and hatred for the Jew, the Catholic and the dark races.
EVEN THOUGH the cities are systematically divided into districts for the purpose of Census taking, Negro enumerators are forbidden in white homes in Georgia. The only way to slap back in this case would be to insist, on the other hand, that white enumerators likewise be denied entrance to Negro homes.
E. D. PIERSON of Chicago, auditor of the National Baptist Convention, of which Dr. L. K. Williams is president, was found with a rope around his neck and four bullet wounds in his body which was hanging from a tree in the Ohio river at Scottsville. Ind. Is this another lynching?
NEGROES ARE BENDING every effort to keep Judge Parker of North Carolina, vicious enemy of the Negro, off, the bench of the United States Supreme Court.
If President Hoover is thinking right on the Negro question, there is no doubt in our minds as to how he will act in the Judge Parker case since he is now acquainted with the facts as to Parker's attitude toward the Negro subjects of his government and more especially the Negro supporters of his administration.
We shall feel as we felt in the last presidential campaign that even the our political affiliation is Republican, in cases where we believe the best interest of our nation as a whole will be effected, we reserve the right to vote our choice, even though that choice opens to be for a candidate on the Democratic or any other ticket and if such statements or acts cause our brothers and sisters of the deeply dyed Republican type (in feeling only) to howl; then we say, on with the howl we sleeping Herculeans, for we realize that it will take a deal more kicking around to awaken you.
IN THE Smith, Albritton case now on trial in Dept. 24 of the Superior Court before Judge Hardy, we note not a single colored juryman. Now, just what's wrong with the colored taxpayers, we are at a loss to decide. As a group there are very few places sending out to us special invitations and unless we in a dignified way push in, we will be forever out.
Dean Wm. Pickens, Field Secretary N. A. A.C. P. Assails Dr. William R. Carter, Secretary of Work Among Negroes
A NEW DAY ON THE EAST SIDE
A NEW DAY ON THE EAST SIDE
Well, Friends, the "die-hards" keep darting from their kennel occasionally uttering a faint bark. It's hard on their nerves and harder yet on their stomachs to realize that the good old shakedown days are gone. You Old Time Collectors and pay-off Men better pull your coats, roll your sleeves and go to work for you can no longer live from GRAFT collected from members of our group.
GET THIS BOYS—there's a NEW DAY ON THE EAST SIDE—members of our group know you—everyone by name; we are through being milked: we are no longer going to give benefits to start you anew in business and you might just as well begin now being ON THE SQUARE WITH YOURSELVES AND YOUR PEOPLE for your growl can's even mess-up the work being done by our ON-THE-SQUARE Men and Women.
The District Attorney's Office, the City Prosecutor's Office, the Mayor's Office, the Police Commission, the Chief of Police, the Sheriff and others in POWER are through taking advice from you—they know you have been betraying your own People and the day of the crooked DOWN AND OUTER is past. You can no longer run to Honest Officials with your tale-of-woe for you are a DISCREDITED LOT and you are on the BLACK LIST OF PRACTICALLY EVERY PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDER.
Central Avenue and this District in general is not yet a Utopia; things are not perfect; there is some vice and there are conditions of which we are not proud, but since those in Power have been working with our BETTER ELEMENT, graft has been driven from these parts and the open vice of old days os off our streets. The POLICE treat our people as if they were human beings and it is now safe for your wife or daughter to walk the streets without being insulted or molested, and the nice part of it all is OUR PEOPLE appreciate the confidence that has been placed in them by the authorities and are doing their best to help.
WE CAN AND WILL work out our own salvation; we will make this section of the City a better place in which to live. Forces are at work this very minute, formulating and executing plans to make this possible. It is not an easy task, for the economic, the social and the religious life of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COL-ORED PEOPLE are at stake.
Our thinking Men and Women are more determined than ever to become builders—We have the problem of bettering employment conditions for members of our race staring us in the face. An honest effort is being made to interest Corporations and Employers of Labor in our situation.
Capital is being encouraged to seek investment in our part of the City. Our Citizens must have money to finance their homes and their buildings, and only UNITED PEOPLE, morally sound, can make this possible.
Our social side cannot be neglected. Our White Brothers and Sisters have their Clubs and their Club Houses where they have entertainment and recreation, and in building for the future we must have other places than the streets for our Boys and Girls and our Men and Women.
BY WILLIAM PICKENS
(The Association Negro Press)
I was in Los Angeles in April, and
we were all fighting like "heck" to
defeat Judge Parker's confirmation as
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Dr. H. Claude Hudson, the president of the Los Angeles branch of the N. A. A. C. P., was running around to every Negro organization in the city and sending messages to all those in the state, advising them to bombard the ears or eyes of Hoover and Short, ridge and of members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary with telegrams demanding the defeat of Judge Parker, on the ground that he had already declared his opposition to the enforcement of the Constitution of the United States, by setting himself against the equal citizenship of Negroes in North Carolina, and thereby approving the nullification of the 14th and 15th Amendments, in so far as it is possible to nullify them. In one meeting of the colored women and white women of Los Angeles, I saw even white women, born and reared in the South, stand up and vote with the colored women against the confirmation of Parker, and put money on the table to send telegrams to that
effect.
But while all this was going on, there was still in existence one Wm. R. Carter, Negro "leader," appointed and paid by "white" Baptists to "lead" the colored brethren and sisters in the Lord. Such superimposed leadership is always dangerous, for any people anywhere—but often the individuals so imposed have been devoted and faithful to the interests of their own people IN SPITE of the handicap of being hired and directed by others. But that takes exceptional character and courage. William R. Carter is not of this type. He serves the prejudices of his masters—not the interests of his charges.
"Hel happened to be present in the Second Baptist church, one of the finest and best organized Negro churches of the City of Los Angeles, when our form telegram was read there, and a motion was made that the congregation vote unanimously to send it to Washington. And what did Carter do on that occasion? He tried to defeat it by a canning trick—a pretense to exceptional broad-mindedness: he arose and said: "I suggest that we should not condemn Judge Parker until we give him a chance to (Turn to Page Eleven.

Hardon to Sing Again
By popular request Irving L. Hardon, baritone, will give a recital of Arias. Classics and Negro spirituals, Monday evening, April 28th at 8:30, Beaux Arts Auditorium; assisted by Rudolph von Liebich, pianist.

To the Editor of The California Eagle, Los Angeles, Calif.:
I have been informed that an article is about to be published stating that I favored the confirmation of Judge Parker as Associate Justice, and that I opposed sending a telegram demanding his rejection. The facts are that when the urgency of sending an immediate telegram was explained, I voted unanimously with the church in sending the telegram at once. Upon information received, I am unalterably opposed to Judge Parker's confirmation. (Signed:) WILLIAM R. CARTER.
EYES
Grim tragedy stalking like a black mantled phantom, hushed the merry shouts of gavly elad Easter celebrators bathing and promenading at Santa Monica last Sunday, and standing horrified but helpless they saw Mr. S. J. Onquay of 53rd Street. Los Angeles. Gave o enlist struggle as he cried "help, help," then sank beneath the sweeping waves that drew him swiftly, cruelly to his death.
Mr. Onquay, and wife, his life long friend. Mr. Erving Smith and family had formed a party and driven to the beach to enjoy the beautiful afternoon as well as to escape the heat of the city. Shortly after arriving there the two men of the party went in hathing, while the ladies sat on the shore and watched them. Jumping the breakers they waded out about a hundred feet, Mr. Onquay was joking with Mr. Smith as the swift under tow would almost upset him, he being small and slight while. Mr. Onquay was large and powerfully built. But Mr. Smith could swim so as the waves rolled so high as to make swimming necessary he began to do so, meanwhile losing sight of his friend which could only paddle a little; so even though he faintly heard a cry of help above the roar of the waves and saw other swimmers strike out quickly in the direction of the cries he did not realize it was his compassion.
Lester Biscoe, young colored life guard at Central Plunge. Sam Harris, and another young man all crack swimmers, attempted to reach the doomed man, meanwhile shouting to him to relax, which is the best safe guard when gripped by the riptide. But their efforts were in vain as they too were almost swept out to sea, and the last they saw of him was as facing the shore and struggling desperately, he was sucked outward and down into that roaring maststrom. The news spread like brush fire up and down the shore and in a few moments fashionable guests from the Deauville Club, white bathers from down near the Municipal pier and promenadors from the streets above all crowded down to the foot of Pico Street where most of the colored bathers were gathered. Soon several thousand persons were watching while the beach life, guards swam and dove at the spot where he was last seen, in an attempt to save him.
Even then his party did not realize it was him until uneasy at his failure to join thm his wife inquired of Bisco as to the description of the crowned man. When he described his bathing suit, that and presentment brought the awful reality home to her and she collapsed with grief. Assisted by others. Mr. Smith carried her up the street a block to the car, then joined the crowd who stood hoping against hope as the guards now in a boat were still searching for the unfortunate victim. Failing in this they again rowed in secured grappling hooks, and dragged the water with them in hopes of (Please Turn To Page Eleven)
Local N. A. A. C. P. officials were very busy during the past week in consultation with the Field Secretary in forming the battle front of the Pacific Coast against the confirmation of Judge Parker by the United States Senate. Hundreds of letters and telegrams were dispatched by various individuals as well as many organizations to the representatives of this state urging the rejection of Judge Parker to the Supreme Court.
President H. Claude Hudson advises at this moment, that although the committee has reported adversely on the nomination that there should be no let up on the fight until his rejection by the Senate body itself.
MARY MAY
There have been several weddings of vast interest to society of Los Angeles this week, and one which attracted notice even in the East was solemnized Easter Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the First A. M. E. church, when Miss Louise Asalitia McClanahan, of Pueblo, Colo., became the bride of Mr. Alphonso A. Robinson, son of Mr. J. M. Robinson of Fresno, Rev. J. J. Isaacs, officiating in the presence of a host of friends and assocites, who crowded the church to its capacity. 'A color scheme of white and green with Easter lilies and baskets of profuse spring flowers decorated the great organ and altar in a huge array. The bridal party stood in their mass of rainbow hue under a bower of Easter lilies and palms.
The bride was charming in a period gown of soft ivory satin, which fell in soft long lines gracefully to the floor. The veil of tulle was held in place from a little trench cap of real lace and orange blossoms, and she carried an immense armful of bride's roses and lilies of the valley; her jewels were a triple strand of pearls, a gift, from her mother. Miss Emma Carter, who assisted as maid of honor, wore a gown of rose taffetta and tulle of the new silhouette with hat of hair and chiffon and she carried American-Beauty roses tied with broad tulle ribbons. Mrs. Verna Lewis, the matron of honor, wore a gown of chartreuse, chiffon a transparent hat of hair and chiffon with shoes to match and carried American Beauty roses, with yellow Holland ivies.
The other attentants in order of their entry were: Miss Calme Ellsworth, attired in orange chiffon with hat of hair and chiffon and shoes to match; Miss Ruth Harrison in a misty poudre blue, a hat of french lace, and (Continued On Page Thirteen)

F. Albritton; Benj. Smith and Frank
M. Shiairasi:

Case was called at 10 a.m., and the entire morning session as well as half of the afternoon was used empanelling the jury which was sworn at twenty minutes of three. Attorney Cooper then asked that all witnesses be excluded from the court room and the same was granted by Judge Hardy, who at this time announced a recess of 5 minutes.
The People then stated its case to the jury with a declaration of what it expected to prove and would ask for a verdict of guilty as charged in the information.

He identified badge which he claimed Smith wore. Attorney Cooper interrupted with frequent objections. Cross examination by Cooper:
We're Strong in Our Support for Right
This publication is not interested nor does it propose to enter into any newspaper combat with our legitimate contemporaries.
We have only one duty to perform and that is to give our support to the present city administration, likewise the county in their efforts to eradicate graft and commercialized vice. We are firm in our conviction that these agencies are performing that duty and we are certainly standing firmly behind them in their program thus far unfolded to us. We are further of the opinion that all citizens stand on the same level and for the first time in many years, there is the same law and same treatment for all people regardless of race, creed or religion.
We are further a strong supporter of all citizens who are accomplishing things in this or any other community and elated when members of our own group demonstrate capacity to do things. In this situation we appreciate Curtis B. Mosby, his genius as a producer, his ingenuity as a high-class business man and the fact that he is day one of the saving graces in solving the economic problems of our group.
The highest compliment by far is the fact he went before court and jury and defeated the guerilla warfare which had sought to blacken his good name and was by a jury of his peers exonerated in the highest degree.
We certainly want it understood we are one of his sincere supporters and such citizens are an honor and high credit to the race to which their identity is linked forever.

The Y teams go to San Pedro this Friday and Saturday for a two day stay in the port town to take part in the annual big tournament that brings together the cream of the basket players of the Southland.
This tournament is the windup of the basketball season and it is a pretty big event. Ys from all over So. Calif. enter teams in this Casaba classic. The 28th street Branch is entering four teams in the tournament, a team in each class. And take it from me those dusky boys from the branch can go and no less.
Here is a little about each team and its star.
The ninety-five pound team has a star on its team that has and can with ease play with the biggest team in the city. This is little Walt Peters, who is one basketball playing fool.
Pete as he is known to his teammates and "Y" fellows plays guard right down to the bricks and me oh my how that little kid can go. Walt is just 12 years old and has a build on him that would do a well developed 16 year old kid justice. And can he hit that hoop? ask me another one. That kid loops them from the middle of the floor, and from any angle at all, just let him get it up in the air and you have two points clean as a whistle. Pete not only plays basketball well, but he is a star in every line of sport endeavor. He lays on the old apple like a Young Babe Ruth. swims like a George Young of Catalina Island fame and hits a football like a Red Gunge. Keep an eye on this Pete kid, when he gets in high school, he is going to be a whizz and still no less. One line will take care of the kid. He is in a class all by himself.
MUSS HARRIS GOOD
The next class is the 110 pound team. The star of this fast stepping bunch of hoopsters is Muss Harris, one of the classiest basketball players for his weight in the city barring none. Muss is a floor man par excellence and has one of the prettiest arches on the ball seen in many moons. Muss usually ends up high point for both teams even if his team loses.
AL SCOTT STAR OF 125'S
Al Scott of Poly high school is the star and Captain of the 125 pound boys and a well qualified man he is.
Scott played on Poly's class C team and was one of the best in the city. He should make lightweights next year with ease. Al is the brains of the 125's he is a bear on defense and he can go through them some on the offensive
WILLIAMS AND BREWER
Drippy Williams and Al Brewer are the stars of the 135 pound team. Those two have had big time experience. Williams played varsity guard for Jefferson and he played a whale of a game.
Brewer plays forward like nobody's business. He was out at Pasadena Junior College.

Four lovely new songs—picked from among two hundred as best suited to the radio idol's method—are crooned by Rudy Vallee in his first great feature picture, "The Vagabound Lover," which comes Sunday and Monday to the Tivoli theatre.
The songs, already sensationally popular, are "A Little Kiss Each Morning," "I Love You, Believe Me. I Love You." "If You Were the Only Girl" and "I'll be Reminded of You."
The selections were made by Vallee himself after long hours spent trying the scores of numbers offered by America's best lyricists and composers.
For his introductory numb in the picture, Rudy selected "I'm Just a Vagabound Lover," his own number which with "Deep Night" helped him into world favor.
right up among the ranking favorites, in all classes. The lighter boys have not been defeated this year by the other "Y's". The 135 pound team have been taken down the lane by Hollywood on two occasions, but they claim they will be ready for the best of them when they get down to Pedro. It should be a tight fight and the boys have every thing to work with all they have to do is do it and no less.

If there is any place in the world you can see a choice assortment of rusty knees and ugly legs it is when the women extras are divested of the powder, make-up rouge and lip-stick that makes them alluring to the male of the species especially when further adorned in pretty filmy frocks.
But back to nature attired, in little more than a smile, boy, boy, but what a reaction if the dear one is not belssed with a pretty form and dimpled knees. Disillusion, disappointment, disgustful dissolution.

BILL BOJANGLES ROEBINSON the peer of toe tapsters has hung another tablet in his private hall of fame by his work in Dixana just near completion at R. K. O. Studio. His set has been the centre of attraction from all over the lot when the directors were shooting a scene of the unsuspassable Bill doing his wonderful steps. Special care was taken with the floor covering so as to record the taps just as bill "aid'em down". NINA MAR INSURFICIENTLY
NINA MAE INSUFFICIENTLY APPRECIATED HERE
Nothing less than surprise filled the minds of local citizens of the race at the wonderful reception and glowing tributes accorded the beautiful Hallelu-jah star, Nina Mae in Chicago and elsewhere. Fulfilling the scriptural jem that a prophet is "not without honor save in his own land." Folks here had begun to feel she belonged here hence did not fully realize they had a great actress in their mist. Narrow minded snobs!

Parker Scott local harmonica wizard is to be tested as a double for Al in the harp blowing sequences.
Abraham Lincoln is just about completed except for some retakes. A perfect reproduction of his old log cabin and also of the famous Ford Theatre where the martyred president was assassinated was built for the scenes.

There stands in our city of Los Angeles an Institution known as the Eastside Mother's Home whose needs have outgrown its capacity. The demands of this Home are greater than its present budget allows. Larger quarters are imperative, and to satisfy this and other pressing demands, the Emergency Charity Club, an auxiliary of the Home, is staging one of the largest and best Midnight. Benefits ever given in Los Angeles. The committee of Management has secured the beautiful and popular Tivoli Theater, a personal donation of the Manager, Mr. M. A.

Famous movie stars, headliners from the various night clubs and theatres, and some of the best local artists will appear and gratitously contribute their talent towards making it a gala affair.
We are appealing to every citizen interested in the uplift of humanity, and the work of caring for our unfortunate girls to help make this affair a success and to lend support to a worthy cause.

STUDIO FIGHT REPORT FALSE
Recent reports that a colored actor named Turner had lost an eye during a fight with his director on the R. K. O. studio lot gave rise to the news being scattered about that the injured man was Raymond Turner, well known veteran of silent comedies.
Investigation proved that it was not him, nor was it any other actor of the same name fairly well known. The occurrence took place between the white boss of a cement gang laying pavement at one of the studios and a colored laborer. The laborer's name chanced to be Turner, hence the misinformation.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE largest and finest house on the stroll closed its doors again, this time indefinitely. The Gore Bros, who entrusted its management into the hands of Mr. Gilmore lost on an average of $1500 a week by the venture, when the leased it. White managers of Theatres with 75 per cent colored patronage should not come into the field with a know-it-all attitude but should try to learn the wants of their public from the more intelligent persons of the race.
THE TIVOLI ENJOYED a good Easter business, regardless of the usual slump on this holiday.
THE BEACON reopened under new management of Mr. Arthur Freed and drew good crowds with the "Desert Song." It only remained closed a few days after the former manager Mr. Garrot left for Florida. All the former employees were replaced. About some of them there arose a ventable hot-bed of scandal and perversity that showed mean ingratitude to tolerant employers. He used all colored employees from front to back.

fact that she had swallowed carbolic
‘acid. What would you, reader, have
done for her? To be periectly honest.
that is a hard question. and-one which
even we as physicians find difficulty
in settling. For carbolic is a poison
which burns, and chars the tissue so
that it is, in even slightly severe cases.

amount of carholic that has been ‘swal-
lowed, and then give the ‘patient oné
of the following: Bosom stits. Baling
soda, or flour and water. | + ‘
Tn any severe case of poisoning the
patient as a rule is far too ill to make
a great. commotion. The lady, mention-
ed above was so noisy that we at once
thought that she ‘was more afraid than
she was hurt, and this proved to in-
deed be the case. After a short bit of
treatment she get up saying she want

strang enough to get up and. walk
home her self. .

THE ARGONAUT’S NEW BUF-

ed his trip in red ink. Claims driftee
bout stating that the shri of ice
‘cream, and the check np s was
so strict that who ever operated the
car was bound to come out) in the
hole, After’ hearing, these .tales for
some time,. The writer undertook to
investigate the matter; the following
facts were discovered, that the first
waiters that were assigned to this ser-
vice on the Argonaut -were, Wm.
Bachelor, John Mack, Jessie Simpson,
Reed and Arthur Nunn, Willie Mack.
Willie Mack wais assigned to the 2nd
Buffet car that left New Orleans and
as he made several-trips on the line
he should be in a fair position to
know whether a profit can be made for
the porter who operates it. Mr, Mack
says that the profits to be made by
the porter all depend upon the porter
himself. He stated that during the
several trips, he made money for. the
company and a goodly: profit for him-
seli, Says Willie Mack, a porter who
undertakes to operate a-car of this
type must thoroughly understand his
business, otherwise he is sure to come
out in the hole. Willie: Mack operated
the first late type buffet car on) Santa’
Fe 3 and 4 in the year/of 1922 he has
yen handling this type of car for a
umber of years and is in a good pos-
tion to know what it is all about.
It is claimed that Arthur Nuan could
jot make any money on this car, al-
hough Nunn is supposed to, be a past
naster in. the apt, Jessie Simpson is
till holding his end down and is satis
ed with the proceeds. So the Tumors

Urgent Need of Hospital Causes
Chnge in Program. *
For a number of months the/Com-
manify: Hospital Clinic. has. besa ert
dering most excellent service, ‘through
its Clinic to those of our City who! are
not able to pay for the services of a
private doctor. Men. women and-child-
ren have sought the aid of this instit-
ution, and all have received real help.
Delicate babies have been restored to
health; tired sick mothers have been
benefitted; men with specific diseases
have been’ treated and aided,
A small army of patients:are Joud in
singing their sincere gratitude to the
faithful doctors, nurses, registrar, and
Medical Director. of the Community
| Hospital Clinic, who have aided them
so_nobly in their fight for health.
The great burden: however that rests
upon the hearts of the Doctors, nurses,
and laymen of the Community As-
sociation, is-the profound need of the
Comminity for 1 well equiped Hos-
pital. And while a Clinic does quantit-
ies of good a Hospital will ro a thou-
sand times more good.
WE MUST HAVE A’ HOSPITAL
Many patients who have come to the
Clinic need operations, but there is:
no place to operate @n them, nor to give
them hospital care, until the Associ-
ation‘can secure its Hospital, *
These facts have led the “Associ-
ation Board to the conclusion that it
will Be better to temporarily stop the
good work being done at the clinic,
in order to consentrate an the Associ-
ation’s efforts to secure the Hospital.
In acordance with this idea. a resolute
ion was adopted by the Association to
suspend the Clinic after April 30th,
until the Association had acquired the
Hospital, When the Hospital is ac-
quired, an excellent Clinic will be oper-
ated as an out-patient’ department of
the Hospital.
The new Auxiliary is in perfect ac-
cord with the change in program of

WATER
The great big issue which is the mainspring and Key to'the economic
situation of all the people of our wonderful community is that ,of
WATER. This trancends ail other issues and regradless of any condition
should have at all times the serious consideration of all the people of
this section.
Therefore the colored*voter is ina position AT this time to render
a signal seryjce for the growth and future prosperity of this section of
‘our. commonwealth and showld meet it fairly and squarely. by giving
their united and unanamous support to the bonds which will permit the
Program for our future greatness to go forward as planned by the joined
forces of all ‘ef our forward looking citizens. .
Thirty-eight million eight hundred thousand dollars means billions
in return and taxes, for the bonds will be retired upon the earnings of
the Bureau of Power! and Water. _
In our opinion the bond election is perhaps the most important one
which will -come before the people in months and vears to come. It
means continued growth, expansion and prosperity and in this situation
the highest compliment we can pay to ourselves is to Turn Out Vote and
Work for the success of the bonds.”

Our white folks just cannot get out of the habit of making the Fast-

to, surmise adverse situations. i
They fail to visualize these are forces within our group which are
eternally at-work to make better conditions’ prevail and are capable. if

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE FAST SIDF >
Ped epee ene and explotation by greedy vice barons: which
soiled and stained everything it came in contact with. It was a wide open
"sectet that for years commercialized graft was in vogue, and poor Central
Ave. bore the brunt‘of the grafting. ‘Thousands of doHars was collected in
tribute each monh, 75 per cent of-which was sent uptown while the Ave.
retained 25 per cent. Just who it went to uptown will perhaps never he
known but it went up there just the same. Now to cure this condition
naturally’ causes a turmail. and the rattling of dry bones. Some of the
birds just naturally cannot forget the drippings from the graft which used
to'be, and it will be some days before they quit crying over its loss. How-
‘ever the present regime indicates the hungry boys must crv right on for
the present organized city and county government have no top fixers 10
dole out protection for vice.
Doubly ‘so cam the people rest assured: for the ones who formerly
benefited are'going to howl their heads off if they even surmise these is
2 program on which the rest will ever be vigilant that no.program goes
into effect. There are those of us who welcome the fixed standard for
law and order and at the same,time are not so dumb but what they re-
alize craps will roll, booze will be bootlegged and the chinese lottery
sharks as well as the American white man’s lottery and slot machines
will always take a chance but in doing so all of them will take the same
chances as any other law breakers and protection will be unknown,
Therefore we say to. our solicitous white folks who centeralize on
Central’ Ave. Clean up Your Own Section. Help Fitts with your moral |
support. clean up the. Julian Crooks who stole millions. Cease worrying
about the crumbs which some bootlegger or dice-shooter on Central Ave. |
got hold of, leave them to us we will give to you, an object on good gov.

DEGRADATION OF SHORTCAKE
{ Fural correspondent {roices in a communication a thought which
has been in the minds of thousands but until now-has not found adequate
expression. . He gives utterance to a feeling of regret, bitter and poignant,
at the passing of oldfashioned strawberry. shortcake: for. as he truly
states, the food which is now masquerading as that delectable confection
is'a fraud and delusion unworthy of the name-it bears. . It is a timely
and dignified protest against the degradation of what was once and still
shouldbe the noblest offefing that can grace the vernal festal board and
delight the palate of man.
The false strawberry’ shoftcake ‘is a sponge cake affair and the
berries are not numerous. The real thing, as the correspondent savs, is
made of soda biscuit, baked in bread pans, with plenty of “shortening”
to mak& it light. arti not too rich. A layer of the cake should be covered
with berries crushed with sugar: on top of that another laver of cake
and more berries; layors ad-libitum, berries ad infinitum, “and on the
top layer as many berries: and as much juice as will stick.” Compared
with this, "he savs, “lotus eating & a piker’s pastime.” And those in whom
ecstatic memories will be aroused by his description, and whose mouths
will water as they read it-no doubt will heartily indorse his opinion.
Three hundred ‘years ago old Izaak Walton, seeking to extol the
gentile art of angling, could think of no higher praise‘of it than to com-
Pare it the strawberry: It ranked among sports, he|said, as the strawberry
ranks among berries. and quoted with approval the words of Dr. Wil-
liam Butler: “Doubtless God could have made’a better berry, but doubt.
less God never did.” eiesee |

MAKE A WILL an =
Among educational campaigns being conducted under various aur
Pices is one giving every man and every yoman a reminder of the duty
of making a will and of appointing competent and responsible executors
The importance of this should be plain, yet-thousands die yearly with,
out leaving wills. Under the circumstances,’ their property is. disposed
of accérding to state laws, which cannot undertake to deal with the famil-
ies in accordance with individual requirements. Frequently injustice re.
sults, with much suffering entailed. This emphasizes the duty of making
a will Men and women should realize that only in this way cam thee
“estates be distributed as they woyld wish. sy
The chief trouble, however, is simply neglect. Some who tealize their
duty to have their wills drawn keep Putting off the discharge of it to
“another time.” But.a fatal accident or a sudden illness affecting thee
minds and rendering them mentally incompetent to the end may occut
and, obviously, make it impossible to repair the neglect. While the nor-
mal expectation of those in their prime is to live “to three score and
ten” OF more, itis only: common sense and common prudence to recogaiee
the uncertainty of life. = ;
<£F Although the drawing of a will naturally takes into consideration the
certainty of the coming of death some time to the testator, it should
constantly be kept uppermost that the whole purpose of the instrument
is the service of life; the care.of the “dear ones” of the decedent who
Temain behind or the cause of humanity in general.
«The drawing of a will ought to be recognized 2s a thiffg not to be|

LESSONS OF LIFE ses 2aP ups ep sp ea
Every person should go to the cemetery at least twice in life. Onc
at the end of life, and Jirst early in life to reflect on the, brevity. of life
and the insufficiency of worldly goods. There is no place like a quie
churchyard for meditation and there is room in every life for more ser
ious thought. .
The tombstones hold a moral for all living. There is inscribed the
human virtues, but among the inscriptions there is no record 6f estates
left behind, fortunes made and spent and: worldly fame attained. The
magnitude, and sculpture of the stone or the vault alone remain to re-
mind the world of “the boast of heraldry and the pomp of power.”
Why should human beings worry and struggle through life's fleet
span pursuit of wealth, fame, luxuries, vanities and all those other
evanescent things we choose to call riches? The poor are distressed by
too little money, the moderately wealthy by the thought that others
Possess more| wealth than they, and the rich by too. much money.
‘The Garden of Paradise only so long as Adam and Eve entertained
no thought of worldly things. There were no pestering bank accounts,
troublesome servants; expensive automobiles, business worries and sogial
and fashion: detractions in Paradise.
Few people have learned the secret of living well. Most of us measure
contentment jn terms of dollars and social position. The number is ‘neg-

SAN FRANCISCO FASTER GREETING .
<A trumpets silver notes greeted the arrow point of gold when it broke
through the silver curtain of the East. The hum/ofmany voices were stile
fed. The silver became a mass of gold. The cross at the summit of the
mauntain caught the golden light Bi 4s fhe full dawn broke, revealing
the outline of the seven hills, thousands ar voices were raised in singing
“AM Hail The Power Of Jesus Name.” That tribute to the Prince of
Peace was not for the worshippers of San Francisco alone. Science caught
it up and wafted it away to other millions throughout the length and
breadth of the nation: who listened and marveled. ‘That Easter morning,
service on the slopes of Mount Davidson is the annual outpouring of
San Francisco's religion. Sect: Creed: and all of the Dogmas are for the
time buried. There is but one thought, and that is to glorify the name of
the greatest Teacher that ever graced the Earth. For a'time the theology: i
subordinated. t6 precept. Thousands of voices unite in saying the praver.
taught. centuries gone, by Him. The last words of ‘the benediction ate
said: The final notes from the organ, played from the console in the
city, tremble in the air andsdie: the great throng turn cityward to be
swallowed up in the deep canons of trftle and finange: full sunlight dims|
the lights of the huge cross and: bathes the green Hill. The. service is|
ended, but sure: some one of the thousands who worshiped there bet
with a desire to better follow the’ Golden Rule.
Religion in some form exists in every human. Man must have some-
thing to worship; something he deems of a higher order than himself,
His god may be a visual one of wood or stone; a personal or a spiritual
one, in whajever form that god may appear in the vision or the mind it
‘is a thing to.be looked up to and to worship. No form of Taw enactment
can'eliminate it, No.edict can ban itzIt is inherent in men whatever the,
degree of their civilization or the depth of their harbarism. The Soviet
government placed a ban on the observance of Easter. It forbade the
ancient custom of colored eggs, There was to bs no demonstratibns in
the cathedrals. Nothing which savored the least bit of Christianity was to|
be:allowed. Did it work? Was the law obeved? If one could have took
a peep, behirid the closely shut-windows"or gained an entrance through
the well guardéd door. he would have been convinced that the will to be

The sight was a magnificient one and demonstrated the defensive power

It is but a step froth religion to politics, which to most of us is-a
religion, as it concerns and deals with the things which determine our
right to “Life liberty and the.pursuit of happiness.” A number of happen
ings have had the spotlight in our national life the past week. Many
leaders of the Republican party have questioned whether they elected a
Republican President or not. The-one that was elected in 1928 is so at
odds with party principles and precepts; so in accor." with the oposition .
that it is dubious,to speculate as to where he belongs. For an instance:
take the question of the nations participation in the World Court. ‘Tame
and again the American. voter has spoken, and in tones so vibrant that
peoples of the world took notice: ‘that they did not want and would
not have any’alliance which would entangle them in the meshes of for-

In “the Nation” April 16th, apperas an article: “The: Press Today”
by Oswald Garrison Villard which gives an insight in the workings of
the Associated Press, After its perusat there is np reasorf to discount the
claim so often made that news from that source is often biased by the
correspondents. of the locality. reported! ‘Thus The Negro has no-daily
Paper and any news concerning him is reported by a white man, That
Feporter as a natural thing is biased and does hot report ‘conditions as
they “are but as he wants them to be. A fight] is magnified’ as a’ riot,
If thera is a Negro killed and the circumstinces warrant an investigation:
it is not reportéd. The article is the first of a series land it will be well
worth reading. I
The report is? That many Democrats are registering as Republican;
in order to cast their primary vote for James Rolph, Jr, Such action,
will be resented by the regular party voters as in alien’ dictation. It is
remembered that a few years past the Mayor sought both the support-of!
the Democrat and Republican voters. He received the nomination on the!
Democrat ticket but failed as a Republican. Being’ registered from the
Republican party he was declared ineligible as a cAndidate. Governor C.
C. Young has not solicited any but party support. The voters who be-
| lieve in the tenets of that party will give to him their tindivided strength.
Partisan politics is the basic principle of our government, and should be
adhered to strictly. If the Mayor seeks the votes of the Democrat party
he should register as such, : i BS
The writer is indebted to a few of the Sacramentions for courtesies,
-and among them is Harry and Mrs. Phillips of 14th St. The Phillips
have a beautiful home life and from the moment one is greeted at-the |
door by Junior, with smiling welcome, the warm handshake of Harry and
‘the graciousness of Mrs. Phillips; you sense the true hospitality. It was|
‘at the Phillips that we met Mr. Gray a visitor, |and)a noted citizen of
Los Angeles. .Mr. Gray spent a few days in Sacratnento the guest of
Frank Butler. There was a few rounds of whist before Fefreshments. Gray
says “if you don't hold the catds you can’t win.” Tange says the writer.
Itis one of the regrets in leaving Sacramento, but the Phillips often come
to the city by the Golden Gate, and they wilt always, find a,welcome.

Albritton and Smith Plead Guilty
Albritton and Smith Plead Guilty
"Were you acquainted with deceased?"
Ans. "Yes."
"Where was store?"
Ans. "$1 Pico."
"How long did you know him?"
Ans. "Three or four years."
"What was in the store?"
Ans. "Can goods, rice and dry meats."
Wong identified the diagram which had been drawn and testified that he came in and saw Bin Wong and several other Chinamen seated around in the store. He purchased a package of cigarettes and after about 20 minutes left for his home about two doors away on Fair Oakes avenue. On his way out he saw a Japanese walking up and down in front of the store. He identified him as Shifariasi, the defendant. On being questioned as to why he remembered him, he said it was raining and the man was walking up and down which was rather unusual. At this point he was subjected to a gruelling cross examination by the Jap's attorneys, but the little Chinaman proved equal to the situation, at no time becoming confused. At this point an American named Newcomb testified that he was Bin Wong's friend. Had known him for two years. On the evening of February 22 hearing of the tragedy he went to the Pasadena hospital where Wong had been taken—Newcomb was asked what was said and related as follows his conversation with Bin Wong:
"Do you know me Bin, how do you feel?"
"Pretty bad, they got me!"
"Pretty bad, they got me!
"Do you want me to take charge of things?"
"No use—Good-bye boys, I'm going."
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
Mr. Newcomb called back on the stand. After a vain attempt by the prosecution as to whether Bin Wong told him who shot him, was smothered with objections by Attorney Cooper. Newcomb was cross examined by all of the attorneys for the three defendants. It appears to the writer that Newcomb's testimony was the most damaging to the defense.
Dr. Roy B. Shearer was the next witness and testified that he found Wong dying from the effect of two bullet wounds, one in his back and the other in his abdomen.
Mrs. Clara Seiben, the nurse who attended Wong at the Pasadena hospital, testified she found the bullet in Wong's shirt which had been placed as exhibit No. 2.
Dr. John E. Shaffer, who identified People's exhibit No. 2 and testifying further the bullet which killed Wong was a lead bullet and could not be used in an automatic. He stood his ground under fierce cross examination by Shailali's attorneys.
Frank Wong testified he lived at 480 So. Fair Oakes business place 444 N. L. A., street, Los Angeles. That on the evening of Feb. 22nd about 8 p. m. that he Albert Wong, Wong Jung, Wong Hung and Wong Yot, were seated in Bin Wong's store when Albritton and Smith both of whom he identified by pointing at them with his finger, entered the store, both having in their hands revolvers and police officer's badges and commanded them to stick 'em up. They obeyed. That Bin Wong backed out of room A to room B into room C, and all of the while Albritton was following him. Backed out of room C into the alley he heard two shots and then noticed Albritton dragging Bin Wong back into the kitchen toward the sink.
Cross examined; he said he did not see Albritton shoot Bin Wong, but heard two shots fired. Under cross examination he contradicted many of his statements made under direct examination.
Officer R. L. Shad, testified he arrested Albritton at his home on Council street. Los Angeles, about 4 a. m., Sunday, Feb 23rd and took him to Pasadena. Harry M. Tombs, also one of the arresting officers testified he lived in Pasadena, but did not know whether or not Bin Wong's purported grocery store was a gambling house. For if it had been said the officer would have probably broken it up. He also testified the bullet found in Wong's shirt was given to him and had been locked in a safe until this time was turned over to the District Attorney's office.
Officer Shad said the alleged badge worn by Albritton was found in the rear seat of his car where Albritton rode.
THURSDAY'S SESSION
10.00 A. M.
James F. Lewis was called to as the first witness.
"Do you know Albritton, Smith and Shaishifu?
"Yes."
"Did you see these three defendants on Feb. 2nd?"
Objection—Overruled.
Ans. "I saw Albritton and Sharashi at 12th and Central avenue, Los Angeles."
"What were they doing?"
Ans. "Talking while seated in an automobile. I had no conversation with them."
W. R. Jackson testified and identified as the man who brought two special officers' badges from him, between 3 and 4 p. m., the afternoon before the shooting. He said the Jap anese stated he was going to use them in a picture show.
May 16. Who will be Los Angeles most popular club-woman, watch the popularity content of the Federated Clubs at Lincoln Theatre.
Frank Gacosta, testified as follows:
"Do you know Sharashi?"
Ans. "Yes."
"Do you own a Ford coupe?"
Ans. "Yes."
"Did you see Sharashi on or about Feb. 22nd?"
Ans. "Yes at my home, he asked me to loan him my car. He said he was going to sell stock and would bring it back next evening."
"When did he take the car?"
Ans. "Saturday."
"When did you next see the coupe?"
Ans. "When I parked my car in the rear of my house?"
"When did you last see the coupe?"
Ans. "Sunday between 9 and 10 a.m."
"Did you have a conversation with Sharashi Sunday morning, if so state what did he say?"
Ans. "He said he overslept."
Mrs. Gladys Albritton, wife of Theo, Albritton was called to the stand.
Sensing unfavorable situation for his client, Attorney Cooper asked for the jury to be excused, citing Sec. 7881-1322 of the Penal Code; reference Dagget Case.
The jury was excused and Attorney Cooper made a plea for a separate trial for Sharashi. He suggested that others than his client knew what they wanted.
GUILTY PLEA CAUSES SENSATION
At this juncture: Notified the court of defendants' request to withdraw plea of not guilty, which request was granted.
The court then asked Theo. Albritton how do you now plead?
Answer: "Guilty."
He was taken out of the court room and his sentence had been set for next Tuesday at 10 a.m.
A five minute recess was given in order to give defendant Smith time to decide whether or not he chose to follow in the wake of Albritton.
After which court was reconvened, Judge Hardy had the charges read and Smith withdrew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. When court adjourned to resume the hearing after the noon recess.
This situation grants Mr. Cooper his separate trial without further effort so it seems.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON SESSION
At this juncture the prosecution desired to place Mrs. Albritton, the mother of Theodore on the stand but owing to her physical condition she could not be in court. Judge Hardy ordered a physician to proceed to her residence and report to the court her condition.
On returning the doctor reported her with one side paralized but she could speak. The ecourt took under advisement whether to take her deposition.
Theodore Albritton was then placed upon the stand as a witness for the People. He testified he met Shararah about two weeks before the shooting. He came to the Federal building where I was employed. I told him I was busy but would meet him at the corner of Commercial and Main street at noon. I met him according to appointment. He stated to me he was not going to stand any double crossing and I have a matter to take up with you. I asked him what he mean and after a long conversation we agreed to meet at the same place on the next day.
The appointment was kept and he showed me a letter which I had written to Billy Russell when she was in Oakland in answer to one inquiring about Frank which was the first name of the Japanese. (Billy Russell is the mulatto woman in the case.) He threatened to tell my wife about the letter unless I would agree to his plans.
We later had another conference and at this time he stated he knew of a gambling house run by some Chinese which we could hold up and secure some two or three thousand dollars which was on the table at all times. He wanted me to get some one else to help in the job. I got in touch with Smith who conducted a wash rack near my home. We'llagreed and met. We all met Friday the 21st at First and Rampart, and next day at 12th and Central then later on we went to First and Main where Frank purchased the badges. We met again Saturday at 8 p.m. 'at First and Rampart: Frank Shararshi in a borrowed coupe led the way while Smith and I rode in Smith's Nash car. We followed him to Pasadena. We entered the Chinese store.
At this point Abritton drew a map of his conception of the room. There were 16 Chinese present. I nourished the gun which had been furnished me by Frank and ordered all of the men into the next room. Bin Wong, the proprietor ran out the back way. I followed him nearly across the alley. I heard/shots vring at me, I fired my gun at random. Here court adjourned for the day, the trial to be resumed Friday morning.

The Los Angeles Section of the California Federation of Colored Women's clubs and the Citizens' Committee announce that the banquet in honor of Deputy District Attorney Leon Whitaker, on April 16th, 1930 was a genuinely satisfactory success. The affair was also for the benefit of the Federation's Scholarship Loan Fund; and its results in that regard have been most gratifying beyond measure.
The Section and the Committee joined in voicing their respects and appreciation to all who either by their attendance or by their participation on the program, or by their generous service, contributed so graciously to the outstanding and magnificent success of the brilliant and monumental event.
Mrs. J. M. Edwards, contestant in the Federation's Popularity Contest states: "The banquet has done a great deal toward spreading the gospel of our Fund, and toward stimulating an interest in scholarship. Its success speaks more than volumes of the increasingly progressive attitude of our Fund. The cause of scholarship has been aided very materially by the way in which our scholarship's outstanding beneficial community has reacted toward one of results. All of us who are directly interested are happy; and we are sincerely appreciative of those who have so wonderfully and wholesolely helped."

SPOTLIGHT
BY BILL EDWARDS
Well, what a disturbance a little light can cause. I seems that the opening of family closets and rattling the old skeleton's bones is becoming somewhat a dangerous undertaking!
Let us clear up this matter here and now. Everything appearing in this colunn, we are directly responsible for, although we are not the nuisance of much of it. You are privileged to send in your compliments, discussion or what-not on anyone you choose as long as you confine the news within the bounds of reason and decency. The public be served (not apple sauce.)
Let's get down to business! What's all the ruckus about the saxaphonists and the ladies? Evidently we got our wires crossed.
Marvin, we would like to straighten out your problem but we doubt if Eola will stand for anymore light.
Then there's Bernardine Lyons and
Charley Jones, Ike Biggler was
wrong so Bernardine says and we
found that the real one is Elinor
Davis. Now, "Is everybody happy?"
Emma Jackson nee Emma Whitfield
has started her married career in a
very issue way by educating friend
hubby in the art of home making.
We venture to say that this is an
ideal match.
At the celebration for the newly-
weds at Dorothy Brooks, 2135 Clinton
last Sunday evening we spotted
a very typical wedding party.
. . . .
The boys fixed the sherbet cocktail the way you read about and with so many lovely things to talk to, everybody seemed to be in that happy state of love.
Vivian Howard caught our lens and withstood the Spotlight like a veteran. She wasn't troubled with "Klerg" eyes either. Senor "Mustachee" Eason seems to be sweet on her ways. C quinna sabe?
From the subtitle to the serious we find the Kappa "Guide Right week" off on its educational program. This Sunday at Wesley Chapel church the discussion on the economic situation of the Negro will take place with talks by Mr. Floyd C. Covington of the 28th Street Y. M. C. A., and Edwin L. Jefferson of the U. S. C. Law school.
Focusing the social affairs we turned full on the Kappa's and Alpha's honoring the delegates of the Delta Sigma Theta Regional Conference held here last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Friday evening at the home of Edwin L. Jefferson, the Kappas entertained with a very exclusive affair. Haven Johnson's music was well received. " cookie" gave a "too tight" tap dance. This chap will soon have to become a professional!
Saturday evening the Alphas entertained with a Aprilletta at Venice. The novelty of going to the beach to dance was a boon to the party. The music couldn't have been better. The saxophonist was so hot that he played the entire evening without setting down. The ladies from the north were well received and justly so.
The Holy Trio is broken. "Dolores"
Juanita Warren has departed from
the city; reported to be headed to
Bakersfield, but we have reason to
believe she's gone to Las Vegas.
Why? Ask Robin at beauty shop
41st street, around the corner from
Central.
May 13 will be a big night at the
Apex Nite club. The college boys
will have charge, so save up your
nickels and dimes to big time with
the Karpa fraternity. By the by
the Apex management announces the
awarding of three beautiful silver
cups to the club that has the big-
gest nite at the club. Mr. Curtis
Carpentier will see and he
has many enticing offers.
What's up, we spotted the beautiful
Alyce Keys with Cliff Ritchie, Jr.
this a permanent match? The boy
is new to the big rocket but with such
a capable coach he'll soon learn the
ropes!
Naomi Green, so says the bigger
will make the leap with Thomas Anderson in the summer. You remember this little lady of sophistication, Tommy is the Beau Bummel of Pasadena. Many of the girls will weep on hearing this news.
Art claims to be so busy writing sports for Harry that he doesn't have time for the females. But listen, he has a "Madam Queer" that would make "Amos and Andy" green with envy. And Mr. Hamilton spends much time with Miss Hawkins.
Mrs. Dorothy Johnson Myles is back in our midst as sweet and smiling as ever (if we may comment on a married lady.) Her "other" half (note we didn't say better half) was in town for a few hours and returned north to his work on the coming gubernatorial election.
Easter claims another half and groom in L. A., in the person of Miss Louise McClanahan and Mr. Alphonso Robinson, popular in social and business circles. At this rate there won't be many more eligible for us.
We won't give up however, until a marriage takes place on 42nd and Ascot. Until that time we'll continue to have hope.
Now that we have declared ourselves maybe things will break in a "nize way!"
The Silver Foxes will have their
affair next Monday night and come
forth in formal attire. Bill Crain and
Louie Cole will lead the pack. Hope
you will be fortunate enough to be
present.
"THE NEW MINISTER" DELIGHTS
LARGE AUDIENCE
"The New Minister," a play presented by the infiltrable Mrs. A. C. Billbrew at the C. M. E. church on last Thursday evening, proved to be entertainment extraordinary and drew big house. Each of the participants seemed in every way fitted for his particular assignment. Indeed, s owell was the acting that it required no working of one's imagination to feel that it was all a reality. The choir rehearsal was not unlike that of so many of our church choirs in their preparation for the week's program, even to the abrupt manner in which it concluded its practice. The calling of the new minister was typical at least of the smaller or country churches—the music committee that passed on the minister's qualifications with their suggestions and bits of advice, reminded one of many goo dol deacon brethren of their own acquaintance.
The singing was especially good. Mr. Billbrew in "The Kind of a Preacher I Like" evoked thunderous applause.
In the presentation of this play, Mrs. Bilbrew lived up to her reputation of being an artist in her line.

EXHAIR
WHITAKER FOX FARM
VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA—
Writing from here want to say it is certainly a treat and we are indebted to our friend, Fred Williams, personally for the trip.
Here high in the mountains back of San Bernardino surrounded by snow capped mountains and sunshine, we met a new Negro with a new line of industry a bit different even from the many lines engaged in by our Caucasian brother. it's Whitaker's Fox Farm. Unique, interesting and too from what we heard, quite profitable.
Took a deal of brains, a bit of money and a world of nerve to start it and Dr. Whitaker, who heads the company deserves great credit for taking 30 acres of sage brush and accomplishing what he has. It's a sight worth seeing and folks who really want to get into something of this sort should look it over.
And now that Easter with all its trimming has passed and the conscience of Christians, both Catholic and gentle, is clear in the belief that they caused themselves to suffer 40 days in a modern way as did the Jews in ancient history during the 40-day passover, everyone is sort of celebrating.
Attendance at church, sorry to say, has fallen off; dancing both formal and informal has again resumed its standing in the community. The baseball season is on its way; card playing in its many forms is hitting its stride.
Bootlegging, gambling, and John Lottery are, or are not, according to which newspaper you believe after reading, thriving.
And say, along with the exit of Easter, reliable information informs us that the six Chinese or Philippine boys that were employed by the S. P. to do the work of three hustling, industrious colored Americans have been retired and those colored Americans rehired.
You see folks we have a few bankers, real estate barons and automobile big men riding on that train that are still American enough despite their wealth, and influential enough because of the amount of money they extend in traveling to demand the kind of service they want, and the company catering to the traveling public must accede to their wishes; at least occasionally, otherwise what is now termed a loosing business might become a tragedy even with a concern like the Southern Pacific railroad showing a six million dollar profit annually.
The passing of Easter has also caused some big uns amongst us to think the time ripe for another attempt to buy the Hotel Dunbar. Well now that Easter is over we might say also money talks. All you have to do, as the betting man says, is to put the money where your mouth is and you might turn the trick. But remember it will take the ace to do it. The interest want to sell and will but don't hafter sell so in that light the one thing you will hafter do is to pay their price. I thank you!
We noticed in a Los Angeles evening daily last week the picture of the official mascot of the Los Angeles baseball team. He was a smart looking little colored chap and turned out to be the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rosco Brown on Santa Barbara street. We hope that that is the wedge which will some day split prejudice apart and permit colored players to don suits and take their turn at the bat.
We attended 11 o'clock services at one of our supposed to be leading churches last Easter Sabbath morn and before, after, and during the first week of the new kind of collections for various causes to wear out the counting machine

A very pretty affair took place Saturday evening, April 19th at thhone of Mrs. Frances Jones, 9419 Zamora avenue, where thirty guests had gathered.

Mr. Denton of Zamora avenue is the president of the Association.
Los Angeles friends of Mr. Raipin Johnson of San Bernardino, will be sorry to know that he was the victim of an accident last Wednesday on his job at the Santa Fe shops where he is employed as blacksmith. A steam driven hammer used to straighten out iron pipes, crushed the index finger of his right hand. He was brought to the Santa Fe Hospital in Los Angeles. The finger is badly crushed and may have to be amputated. Mr. Johnson is a brother of the reporter of this column. Mrs Irene Mackey.

Coffeyville, Kansas
MISS GENEVIEVE P. GUNTERS Reporter
Rev. S. A. Williams, D. D., expasor of the Calvary Baptist church finishes up his pastoral ministry for Kansas April 6, 1830.
Rev. S. A. Williams was called to the pastorate of the Calvary Baptist church on the 14th day of January, 1925. At the time we called it seemed that the church had rounded, and was about to be wrecked on the sea of time. Her rudgers seem to have been stalled with the winds of strife and confusion; the fierce winds of strife were cutting and dashing her sails to pieces, within were forebounds and without were lightings. Her cargo of terrible outstanding debts were bearing her down upon the rock of no credit. Just prior to his coming a tornado had taken place that blew away part of her sails, leaving wreckage for miles around. Onlookers from the hill-tops of spite and jealously tiptoed to see her curve in the midst of the awful gale, and predicted that she would never make a safe landing. But we came on, having gotten into a little tug-boat that landed hard by the side of the old ship. Climbing up into her deck, we gave orders to the crew left on board to let her drive to unload some of the cargo of debts, to use prayer and lift up the souls, to use faith and blast the rocks of no credit. These same people became our friends having been converted and baptized. Great prayer meetings have been organized. People by the dozens attended the four-day prayer services.
Wonderful spiritual meetings are had through the week and on Sundays.
A great Mission Circle has been organized and their work for Missions and for finance have been phenomenal.
Permit me to briefly call attention to some of our outstanding work under Pastor William's administration.
The Pastor's Aid Society having been organized under Pastor Williams administration has been marvelous under the matchless leadership of its president. Mrs. Hettie Roberts. The Pastor's Aid of the Calvary Baptist Church has set the pace for the aids of the state. The Aid has done the tremendously big thing along with the raising of hundreds of dollars, that is, it has induced people to work who have fore thought little about church work. One other thing that stakes big to the credit of the Pastor's Aid Society, and that is the building of the beautiful steps for the Lord's house upon which the unsaved may climb up to hear the Gospel in the house of the Lord, and the saved may reach the Holy Sanctuary, have their souls' fed from on high. These beautiful steps will ever stand out as a living monument to the Pastor's Aid
The Emergency Fund organization in our church, with Deacon Warren as president and Tresauer at the time has played a great part in helping church carry out its orders, to help them be fortunate, and cheer them that are discomforted.
Our work during Pastor Williams administration has not been altogether along lines. A great deal of time and energy has been given to the evangelistical side of our work. The Official Board has been organized under his matchless administration.
There is no doubt but that the Calvary Baptist Church has the best organized official board in all the state of Kansas. A board whose personnel will number round thirty-five of the best men and women in the state.
This board has been advisory to the pastor, and at no time, and for no cause has a single member of our board sought to embarrass the pastor or in any way say one word that could be constructed as insulting. This board meets every Monday night in the week to transact business.
Time will not permit me to speak of many other features of his work. The old shin has been grettly improved.

After which the guests assembled in the dining hall, which was beautifully decorated with the Pastor's Aid Colors Orchid and Pink, the Mission Circle, colors, Blue and White, appeared to be very attractive as the guests assembled.
Rev. M. J. Smith. Pastor offered prayer. Presents galore were given silver offerings following.
The various organizations gave silver offerings.
The Mission Circle presented him with fifty dollars in silver. He received forty-five dollars in gold pieces, and the Neosha Valley District City Wide Mission, and the North West District, City Wide Mission gave him silver, aside from the personal donations that were given him. While the presents and silver offerings were being happily presented to Pastor Williams, he was much effected with the prophetic picture of an elderly man, a Deacon and Janitor of our church, as he totted across the floor with a cane in his hand, a servant of God, with tears stealing down his cheeks, he reached his piny hands in his pocket and gave to Pastor Williams the last piece of money he had, which was five cents to show pastor Williams his appreciation and wishing him God's speed.
Pastor Williams spent the last four days and nights in the home of his enninent members and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Gunter, and family 513 East Fifth Street.
On the eve of his leaving, there was a Breakfast party given on him Tues-
Pastor Williams; his niece, Miss Mary Frances Jones, and his nephew, Mr. Edward Jones left the Sunflower State of Kansas going to the Golden West Via Land Tuesday 8:45 A.M. to reach his permanent and future home.
Pastor Williams, having labored with us for the past five years, though the work has been stupendous, taxing, and strenuous, we have found Pastor Williams such as characterize him to be: sweetly disposed, patient, devoted, honest, personal personality, very liberal which is most unusual for most pastors, a Christian Minister of the Gospel, painstaking, God fearing man, persevering, pleasing appearance, and a splendid mind, very alert. His disposition, industry and love for the work are such as characterize the successful pastor.
Under his administration the old ship has been greatly improved. He is leaving the church with only a very few minor debts that can be easily taken care of.
We are reluctant to give him up, but God knows best for he has been greatly loved by the members and friends of the Calvary Baptist Church and also the state of Kansas in which and allseveral prominent offices in the various conventions, and at the time of his departure he was vice-president of the Sunday School Convention. I wish to say without any attempt flattery whatever. That the St. Paul Baptist Church should be commended for having secured such a man as Rev. Baptist Church who if they follow under his matchless administration, will in the futurity of time may be led to marvelous success.
We wish he anu the St. Paul Baptist much success and though he be in a distant clime, we shall always have pleasant reminence of him as we cherish up the steep of time.

Bob Shuler, the famous broadcasting pastor still continues to rip Sherif W. I. Trager up the back at every turn in the road. He has suggested a grand jury investigation.
Let's forget our correct mannerisms and our duties toward our fellowmen, especially to those who are less fortunate than we are, physically. That is, those who are minus one or any of their five senses or otherwise disabled. The Eagle's Eye observed two blind men, near the corner of 9th and Central where our office is located, attempting to cross the street; and do you know that although it was up in the day, when travel was heavy, and any number of brick pressers, and any number of business men were about and not a one would lend a hand? Fortunately, Police Officer Walter Coleman, stationed at this corner for over three years and for whom we have the highest esteem, was present to assist. After all, "We are our brother's keeper."

We understand that a certain police official is accredited with the statement that it is against the policy of the Los Angeles Police Department to accord Negro Policemen executive positions within the depot. Now Americans would like to call this particular official's attention to the fact and theory that Negroes are Americans and not Russians.
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 23, (A.N.P.)-Uncle Sam's official report for 1930 on the number of his Negro citizens and their conditions will be awaited with more than customary interest this year because of the more general interest which the Negro has taken in the grand enumeration and his feeling that a more liberal attitude at Washington has permitted a tabulation which will destroy the effect of inaccuracies about the Negro permitted in former censors.
Although there have always been a few Negro enumerators in the army of 100,000 which the federal government employees, the federal government has never before countenanced a program which involved the desirability of using the Negro to obtain the facts and figures about himself. Here and there a Negro man or woman has passed the test and enjoyed enough favor to get on.
But the census taking has grown to be such an intricate operation on a big scale that the director of the census has become convinced of the necessity of utilizing every art and agency that will insure greater accuracy and more complete figures. Thus, even for the enumeration among white people, increasing care is taken each decade to obtain all the truth and to overcome obstacles which the people themselves create.
The social condition among Negroes in the South where most of them live is such that it it was readily acknowledged that there might be great room for improvement in the method of obtaining results. It was admitted that Negroes living in out of way places might be made by the owner to answer for all his "hands". Furthermore, the possibility of white enumerators writing up many fair-skinned Negroes as white was recognized:
In view of such special problems, Director William Stewart of the Bureau of the Census approved a plan whereby the official representatives of the bureau, or the supervisors throughout the country were permitted to avail themselves of whatever voluntary assistance Negro Laders might give them toward creating greater co-operation with the census takers and were conferred with on the advisability of using Negro numerators, enumeration this year than at any other
As a result of this program, more Negroes took an active part in the enumeration this year than at any other time. The area was spread over a larger area.
Not only in the larger cities of the North which has acquired congested Negro areas in the last decade, but in all the states of the south. supervisors generally showed an active willingness to utilize whatever aid might be given them by influential Negroes
GOLDEN STATE
PROMOTES WOMAN
Mrs. Isabel Haskell, prominent citizen of Oakland, Calif., and very efficient representative of the Golden State Insurance Company, has been promoted to the position of Assistant Superintendent of the Northern California District.
Mrs. Haskell was formerly special representative in the San Francisco District and merited the promotion by the very valuable service she has rendered and her unwavering loyalty to the Company. She is well qualified to assume the new duties assigned to her.
in announcing the promotion, Mr. Geo, A. Beavers, Jr., Vice-President and Director or Agencies, who has just returned from a tour of the Northern District, made the following statement:
"The appointment of Mrs. Haskell again proves that the Company in making promotions adheres to the one reliable rule—merit. It is also another evidence of the fact that women have a very demeaned place in our Company and are not denied the opportunity to advancement on account of sex.
"The Company is very proud of the record produced by the large number of efficient field representatives in the Northern California district under the able supervision of Mr. B. N. Hunigan. Mr. Hunigan with his dynamic spirit, high ideals and constant loyalty, has made a record with our Company that any representative, black or white could point to with just pride."
The Golden State Insurance Company offers unlimited opportunity to capable men and women who possess good character and are not afraid to
in various communities and to use Negroes as enumerators where that might be done without any friction.
One of the strange obstacles against the employment of Negro enumerators which reared itself in the south was the absence of segregated residential areas in cities and towns. Supervisors generally were willing to select from among successful applicants Negroes to do the work among Negroes, but were fearful that in the south that whites would resent the entrance of Negro enumerators into their homes. The big job in such cases was to find an agreeable territory in which the Negro might work. Supervisors went out of their way to do this in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas. In the latter state, one supervisor urged Negro friends to take the examination so that he might he in a position to appoint them to work.

AMERICAN WOODMEN AN-
NIVERSARY AT HAMIL-
TON M. E CHURCH SUNDAY
AFT. RNOON.
The Los Angeles Camps of the American Woodmen with a combined membership of more than two thousand will hold their annual anniversary celebration Sunday, April 27th at the Hamilton Methodist Episcopal church, 15th and Naomi streets at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A program setting forth the merits and accomplishments of the Order both nationally and locally interspended with high-class musical numbers will feature the celebration. The American Woodmen has long been recognized as one of the leading financial and fraternal organizations of the race with assets of almost two and a quarter million dollars. Though it has been organized in Los Angeles less than eight years it has taken the leadership in membership, and rays annually thousands of dollars in benefits to its Los Angeles members. As the anniversary comes during the height of the annual membership campaign a special dispensation will be in effect the day of the celebration to which the general public as well as the membership is cordially invited to attend. State Supervisor Ben H. Graham and J. E. Rector, Supreme Escort will represent the Supreme Camp.
Amanda Randolph Is Toast of Ship
NEW YORK. April 23. (A.N.P.)—Word has just come to New York that the one-time favorite of the city Amanda Randolph, is scoring heavily in her first European tour. Prior to this visit abroad, "Manda," as she is called, was afraid to make the trip across the pond, but the offer she received was so flattering and the manager so insistent. Miss Randolph finally acquiesced. Before she sailed on the S. S. America, Miss Randolph was advised by her manager, M. Gorsdorfer of the Alhambra to tell the purser on board the ship that she was a professional and if her services were needed she would gladly sing at the usual gencert held enroute. The first day out the actress suffered from sea sickness but she recovered quickly and the purser sought her out. After playing and singing at a concert in the ship's salon, iss Randolph became the rage of the boat. She was invited to every dance aboard, she danced with officers of the ship, with travelers and had a general good time all around. The first breaking of the ice was the most difficult. After this was accomplished, the actress was the biggest hit on board.
BOOK NOTES
Books are written so rapidly now-a-days, that it is hard to keep up with all the titles as they appear. Some of the older ones are just as interesting. For instance: Bindloss—Larry of Lonesome Lake, a vigorous adventure tale of the Canadian northwest or Booth—Gold Bullets, a murder! then tangled threads leading from the present day back to a poker game where a fortune was staked against a human life; Brooks—Chains of Lightening, is a story of deep human interest, of a great electric power magnate as he appeared to various persons; and Chase Emes of Jaalam, is a novel of New England showing the commercial canniness, the shy sentimentalities, the awkward generosities and the laconic humor of its people. For thrills a plenty, read Daly—Hidden Hand; White Oaks of Jalna, by De La Roche is as fascinating as the prizewinning Jalna.
These books may be borrowed from the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library, 2330 Naonif Street, and from the Vernon Branch Library, 4504 Central Avenue.

1930
The pounding of blood in my ear drums did not cause any hitch in the engine, it puffed and chortled blowing its hot fumes full in my face. However I could not feel the heat of it, for the hot blood in my yeins precluded any external effect. Over and over until its repetition was becoming maddening my brain reiterated the word that was placarded across the front end of the back part of the baggage car into which we had been crammed. "Ngroes! "Ngroes!" "Ngroes."
Would my brain never cease its delicious frenzy? I could not stop its constant spinning. Eyelids closed hot on balls of fire, nerves that tingled with the intensity of the emotion that racked my body. Hate in all its fury was possessing my very soul and fromits fangs I did not attempt to escape. I welcomed the relief in its furious ensnarement. With open burning eyes, looked out on the red clay hills of Virginia and out of the bitterness of my soul I shouted curses at them. "May the earth of a land such as this be cursed, that it bring forth no more fruit, that it be as desolate as the wastes of the deserts, that its inhabitants might sow but never reap. Cursed be the timbers, the tall pines that rank themselves along the railway for miles, their greenness lifting itself heavenward in graceful dignity. May their branches wither and may they stand stark and naked in a land to remind future generations of its fruitfulness that is past. May pestilence, disease and death ride rampant in such a land mowing down all vestige of its population, and may the houses stand as a haunting memory of the days of its habitation. Grant. O God that these things might be done because of the offences heaped upon a helpless and defenseless people.
Then having spent a part of my emotion in raving curses at a heedless land, the rest of it poured out in torrents of tears. Unrestrainedly they came, hot blanching my cheeks as they poured out from some hidden stream. I turned my head to the window that I might not disturb the serenity of my fellow-passengers. Southerners all, they were, had they seen the flood of tears that overflowed my eyes, they would have thought that I was on my way to the bedside of a dying loved one or some personal grief was mine. They were too much at home under the situation to have appreciated my emotion. Drowsily slouching themselves into the narrow confines of the seats, they talked together in tranquil acceptance of it all.
I looked on these my poor people then and wept anew for their broken spirit and unawakened minds. Here they paid the same fare as a white passenger but because his skin was black, his money could not purchase a decent place in which to ride thru the Southland. They sat contentedly dipping their snuff, chewing their tobacco and spitting their juices, this way and that. How long oh God, before thou dost awaken them?

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NEGRO VOTE
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NEGRO VOTE
The industrial and economic interest of the Negro is indisolubly a part of those of all the American people. The Negro in America has made his way as a citizen, a soldier and a worker. During the past half century particularly in industry and agriculture and among the nation's gainfully employed people, he has gone forwrd, in satisfaction to himself and to the productive enrichment of America. His continued progress will be an industrial asset of value to all the peleo.
The First Bank owned and managed by a Negro in this country dates back some 30 years ago. Established in Birmingham, Alabama; it was a great movement in the development of the economic status of the Negro. This institution in and by the Race, marked the birth of many ideas other leaders of the races; no new businesses of various types were established. Such businesses were operated on small scales and often inefficiently. Those that survived gradually increased in efficiency and scope, and most of them were successful; and today there are many business enterprises being operated on large scale productions.
Out of twenty-seven thousand banking Institutions in the United States, Eighty are owned and operated by Negroes with deposits of $22,000,000; two National Banks; (30) Trust Companies and the remaining 48 are State Banks, Saving Institutions, Co-operative Banks, and 5 Building and Loan Associations.
Negroes have been robbed of their time, labor, nd money, yet they have succeeded in acquiring valuelabel property, own and occupy beautiful homes elaborately furnished. He has an expensive limousine in his garage and a Police Dog to adorn his spacious lawns. There are some who causually speak or boast of their summer and winter homes and visits abroad, and some less fortunate spend their vacation in America's most popular resorts.
Regardless to his apparent extravagance according to statistics, he has 70,000 thriving business enterprises at a total value of 2.1-2 billion dollars. These comprise, Hotels, Restaurants, Markets, Grocery, Drug and Clothing Stores. Real Estate, Newspaper Publishing Firms, Insurance Companies, Banks, Coporations, Merchantile and Manufacturing and many other appreciable lines of endeavor. That warrant recognition. King fate in its working has given the Negro here in America the opportunity to show the doubting world in a very conclusive way, whether or not he is worthy of being accorded the respect of other races.
In the last decade or two the Negro has been emancipated educationally consequently freed of the shackles of inferiority, that has ever been a thorn in his side in the past. Now, he is not only free to think, but to seek and find out for himself the advantages of his White Brother's Culture to prove the possibilities of his civilization. We have thousands of young men and women graduating from High Schools and colleges of this land, and many more entering each year, they are taught the same lessons, the white brother is taught. They leave with the same degree imbued with the same ambition, have the same appetite.
Wear similar apparel and enjoy the same amusement, but this system fails when it comes tothe most important thing in life. "Opportunity". That, we do not have. Out of schools, they naturally turn toward fields to which their groomed talents are best adapted. they apply for positions at business firms, they knock at the doors of professors, they camp outside the doors of trade, to their demands for admittance, only oef ears are turned. Yet we listen and applaud the white brother when speaking to a Negro audious accomplishments as an oppressed lous accomplishments as an oppressed race under such pitiful circumstances. Then follow him to his office or his business and note the number of Negroes he has employed. His flattering remarks keeps us in a state of expectancy. The Negro of today demands action, rather than flowery speeches.
The Negro of today has dispensed with that old adage, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die." He has learned to live.
There are a few who have won independence from the shackles of denied opportunities and attained success, and spend the rest of their lives in the stringent effort to be any body other than what nature so decreed, and oftimes aid others rather than their own. That type of character should

be pitted rather than censured.
Organization is the best method whereby concentration of thought, singleness of purpose and unity of action may be secured for the accomplishment of desired results.
There is no field of activity in which desired results are of greater importance than in politics, and it is one in which our group is less interested.
Have you ever stopped to think that when you step to the faucet in the morning to turn on the water the water is there as a result of politics. That the quality and conditions of the streets and sidewalks on which you travel is determined through politics, that the quality of sewerage and garbage service and the police and fire protection is determined through politics, that the teachers and other school officials are selected through politics, court houses are built through politics, That the judge and jury and other court officials are selected through politics that our post offices are built or leased through politics. Post Masters, mail carriers and other post officials are selected through this same medium.
That the amount of taxes that you pay and the method of their expenditure are determined through politics. Moreover the question of peace or war is determined through politics, the enumeration might be continued indefinitely. Whether we vote or use our constitutional rights or not. We are bound up in the very wool of politics. We cannot escape it and we cannot take these things out of politics, these services touch our comforts, our necessities our luxuries, and the very protection of our lives. It behoves all citizens, therefore to be awakened to a keen realization of their obligation and be vigilant in the selection of officials who in a representative capacity assume the responsibility of conducting public affairs.
Since these are undisputable facts I advise organizations, concentration of thought, unity of action, and when This is accomplished, it will end sectional differences, racial animosity, and it means administering absolute justice in a willing obedience among all classes and races to the mandates of law. A half a century hence when the children of today are the elders of the twentieth century. I can see them with tear dimmed eyes, reading the record of our struggle. The difficulties overcome, the barriers dethroned, and when the tears have fallen from their eyes. I see them watching the registry of the rise of the mercury in the glass of the world's recognition of the Negro, as being a man among men.
We have in Los Angeles Negro representatives from every institution of learning, North and South; East and West of recognized fame, possessing every shade of opinion religions, political, and social. You can find Negro men and women with an academic degree struggling for substance and employed as a most menial servant with a compensation a mere pittance. You can find him in the ditch, on the street porters, maids, housemen and waiters, in fact ignorance is almost extinct.
We must elect a man to office that positions may be secured and retained on the basis of productive efficiency rather than the long worn out objective "color."
The ballot is our only instrument of defense through its servicie we hope to secure recognition in proportion to our representation.
Use your weapon, the Ballot. The white men are building bullwalks of defense against you from Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.

Great throngs filled our Church auditorium for the Easter Services morning and night. With the abundance of floral decorations and the singing of the birds, nature added touches of beauty, sweetness, and sympathy to the high spiritual enthusiasm which was present in the worshippers. The subject of the Pastor's Easter Sermon was "The Risen Son of God and The Rising Son of Righteousness." The singing by the choir both morning and evening was par excellent. The program of the evening was a varied one consisting of instrumental numbers, reading, solos, duets, and chorus numbers.

NOTES OF THE SECOND BAP
TIST CHURCH.
The folks around the Second Baptist Church are now very busy in preparation for the celebration of the Church's Forty Fifth Anniversary. The Anniversary meetings will begin on May 4th, and close on May 13th. A varied and extended program is being arranged. We trust that our friends will watch the Eaglle for further announcements.
The service at the Church last Sunday were well attested, full on enthusiasm and spiritual interest. The sermon delivered by the Pastor in the morning was one appropriate to Palm Sunday. It had to do with the subject of Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the evening we were favored with a very interesting sermon delivered by Reverend D. L. Mc Griff. The song services in the evening, which preceded the sermon, was full of devotional interest.

At the Metropolitan Baptist church last Monday at 10 a.m. the chairman, Rev. L. M. Curtis presided over a call meeting of the National Baptist Jubilee Commission further laying plans, and stimulating our people for the largest measure of success in our share of the Jubilee. At 1 p.m., the Ministers' meeting was called to order by President Marshall. Devotionals were conducted by Evangelist Huggins, and Rev. W. M. H. Dickerson, Encouraging reports were heard from two churches—Metropolitan, Pasadena, Dr. Dr. Moore, pastor; a brother from the East was introduced, and allowed to address the Union in his own way. Th brethren applauded him. The order of the day was by Dr. H. D. Proud—"Position of the Baptists in Regard to Easter." It was made clear, from Scripture, and by tradition, and usual attitude, that Easter, as such, has no place among Baptists; But that the Resurrection of our Lord is an event revenuently borne in mind, and regularly brought to the attention of our people. All concurred in the position, as presented by the speaker.
At 3 p. m., Rev. Moore presided over an extra session, and Rev. Rozier and Rev. Curtis made appealing addresses concerning Jubilee preparations. A strong resolution offered by Dr. Prowd in favor of the Water Bond as a matter of utility, and life preservation, was committed to the Welfare Committee. H. D. PROWD. Reporter.

The fourth Sunday in April is Bank Robbers Day at the A. M. E. Zion Church. This, I am sure is a new day in Church History. Tell Solomon that we do 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 ef-
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 ef-
fort 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 'shot 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's go.
THE LA JOVIAL GIRLS SCORE
One of the smartest affairs of the season was the "Fashionable Tea" given by La Jovial Girls. The spacious Masonic Temple was converted into a beautiful Tea room. The affair was unique in its splendor indeed very much out of the ordinary.
The host of friends and guests as they jammed their way into the vast auditorium to witness the lovely models and wonderful program that was so carefully selected and arranged for the occasion.
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to everyone that was present and all the participants who took part in the affair.

WEEKLY EVENTS AT PHIL
LIPS TEMPLE C. M. E
CHURCH
(BY J. MULKEY STEWART)
But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.—1st Cor. 15th chapter 20th verse.
At II o'clock Easter Sunday morning Bishop C. H. Phillips, A. M. D. D., used as a text, "Now is Christ Risen from the Dead." These words taken from the scriptures of the Apostle Paul were fitting indeed for the occasion. Easter services are always commemorative of the most outstanding event of the history of the world, and Bishop Phillips cannot be excelled in commemorating the death, suffering, and resurrection of our Lord. It was plainly visible through his sermon that no one took the life of our Lord but rather he GAVE it freely that we might have life eternal. "One word from God is enough to cripple the wheel of light and throw the world into eternal gloom."
These words were used by our able Bishop in outlining the power of God. Last Sunday 'marked the closing of Bishop Phillips' visit to the Pacific Coast. He made his departure for Cleveland, Ohio, Monday morning. Bishop Phillips was entertained very royally while in our city, and we feel certain that the entertainment given him by Stewardess Board No. 2 of which Miss A. V. Harris is president, will remain in our Honorable Bishop's memory for sometime to come. Next Sunday will find our regular pastor, Rev. N. H. Humphreys back at the controls of Phillips Temple, and as much as we appreciate the presence of the man who established our church in this city we are always ready to fall in line with our own pastor and be led under his efficient leadership.
The drive to raise $5000.00 closed last Sunday nite, but all reports have not been checked at this writing and we are unprepared to make a statement as to the outcome of the rally, but we feel certain that all captains, have done well.
"The New Minister" a playlet staged by Mme. A. C. H. Bilbrew on the evening of th'el7th inst., was a tremendous success. This drama consisted of a cast of 38. Mme. Bilbrew is all smiles because of the excellent manner that each character played his part. Mr. Jamese Douglas as "Minister Brown" who is greatly admired for his wonderful tenor voice, succeeded in winning the Heroine, Miss Beatrice Brown as "Daisy Lovejoy" as is usually the case in dramatical playlets. This entertainment with its "Music Committee," "Old Malds' Club," "Ladies Aid Society," ets., continued laughs galore; everyone went away well pleased. Space will not permit lengthy comment on our Easter evening program but it was greatly enjoyed by all in attendance. The Kiddies' program in the afternoon was also pleasingly conducted by Mrs. G. N. Hodges who is always manifesting great interest in the children of the church.
If you are desirous of knowing what is going on at Phillips Temple, read the Eagle. Yours truly is ever ready to take your subscription.

TO AN UNKNOWN FRIEND
(HARRY LEVETTE)
Help, help! Come, bring the light,
My pen has balked again tonight,
What can I do? What will I say?
My vague impressions to convey.
A hungry, stunted child of chance,
Incumbered by mere circumstance.
Like Tulip with its upturned head
Like birdies waiting to be killed.
Ah, yours must be a soul divine
Noble and fair without confine
To venture where the world can see
And spill ink on a wretched like me
Tis some long road that has no end,
A mournful heart that has no friend
A drenched oak that will not burn,
A lifeless worm that will not turn.
And what philosopher can guess,
The consequence of your redress,
So gently mild, so draped with skill,
Ah, try and match it if you will.
The hour you wrote, the Angels smiled,
A smile which mirrowed back to earth,
And me, and to hope gave birth,
And generate some thought of worth.
Which may in turn create some song,
Or disprove some unseemly wrong.
Or bring cheer to some one thats sad
For such I would be grateful—glad.
Should I not reach the hall of fame. I'll not begrudge or judge nor blame. I'll be content to be "small change." And write within the common range. IVA O. REED

COLORED FANS PREPARE FOR

it is different, with the match being

All over town the usual boxing fans
are getting het up over the match and

sportsmen are trying to wise up on the

The greatest match in the history of
wrestling on the Pacifie Coast was

he matched “Dynamite! Gus Sonhen-

Marshall's’ sensational rise toward
the top of the heavyweight division
during the last few months was even
mofe rapid than was Sonenberg’s
when the latter was striving for his
first title match in 1928. He came to
the coast, practically unknown, and
within four months has, gained the
rating as the outstipding, title conten=
der in the game today.
It was promoter Daro who first saw
title possibilities in the young mat star.
and it was the local promoter who gave
him his first chance at top-notch com-
petition. Joe Malcewicz was brought
from Boston to test the-youngster, and
