Vote for Water Bonds May 20-No Assessments, No Taxes DIXIE WHITE MAN FOUND GUILTY OF RAPE 1879 VOLUME 42 ON THE SIDEWALK BY C. A. B. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps, the dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth: AMERICAN MOB RULE THIS WEEK while the Metropolitan daily papers carried news to the effect that President Hoover was fishing in the Shenandoah, a moh of 5000 individuals composed, it is alleged of men, women and children, stormed the $60,000 Grayson court house at Sherman, Texas, taking law and order into their own hands and virtually cremated George Hughes. 41-year-old Negro, whom; they claimed had attacked a white woman. The blood-thirsty mob was not satisfied with burning the Negro's body but it is said that they ripped open the vault where he is supposed to have been placed for safety by the authorities and while the police officers, who are supposed to maintain law and order regulated the traffic, the human wolves formed a grand parade. Hughes' charred body being the only float and marched through the so-called Negro section, wrecking vengeance by pilliaging and burning as they went and ended the marsh by draping a telegraph pole in front of the most popular drug store in the community with Hughes' body. It is reported that ere this grusome demonstration was made Negro men and women of the colored community had been seen fleeing from their homes not unlike the dwellers of the ancient city of Babylon under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar and his father, Nabopolassar when that city was taken by Cyrus. Governor Dan Moody has said that the alleged leaders of the mob must be brought to justice. We read between the line that had it not been that the court house was destroyed the lynching of Hughes would have gone down in history as another past time for those who know the law as it affects the inalienable rights of the white IN REVIEWING this last lynching under this Republican administration, which for the Negro is a ship while all else is the sea, we are wounding if as a race, in our exhibition of God-like self restraint. If we haven't been just a little too patient, 16,000,000 Negroes representing the black population of the United States today should beseige the National capital and the head thereof and demand that the damnable practice of lynching be stopped. Taxation without representation is as tyrannical today as it was during the days of the Boston Tea Party. Are we to continue to be the victims of lynch rule? Must a part of the revenue of our hard earned taxes be continuously used to send representatives to peace conferences and world courts to settle international affairs while we in this country are being lynched and burned at the stake. We say. No. THE HARRIS-BILL, passed by the Senate this week placing Mexican immigration on a quota basis which means that the number of Mexicans who will be allowed entry into the U.S. yearly will be from 1200 to 1900 bids fair to be attacked by the House. This ban on Mexican labor is hailed by many as a protective measure for American labor. I WAS NOT AMONG 'EM IT HAS BEEN reported to us that we were part of a $3800 iacknot made up by the water bond folk and handed out to a group of individuals of color, who were making speeches and spreading other propoganda in behalf of the bond passage. WELL, more than a month ago the Company sent us a letter asking permission to place our name on the Speaker's Bureau to which we responded cheerfully and readily and went forth doing all we could in behalf of what we considered prosperity for Los Angeles.

This the highest class in police marksmanship carries in addition to the fame attached a monthly bonus of $20. Mr. Towns an enthustastic and devoted markman, has long had this top class as his goal. His score was 361. In the same division of experts from Traffic Dept., Detective Bureau Wilshire, University and other divisions were Ward, Bartley, Moore, Gibson, Nowka, Cole, Stoneesifer, and Peterson, the highest mark is held by Ward a traffic officer with 378. This is the goal at which Towns is now aiming and swears he is determined to reach it.

While no formal charges have been placed against him, Patrolman Thomas Chapman, the only Negro member of the West Park's Police, was held in a cell at the Des Plaines Street Station Sunday pending investigation into the fatal shooting of a white youth Saturday by the patrolman. According to the alleged statement of the patrolman, who has a good record on the police force, he was on duty as traffic officer at Washington Boulevard and Orden Avenue.

P.) New York, May 14—Painting her deceased employer as a schemer, medler, and social agitator, Hattie Johnson, formerly employed as maid in the W. E. B. Stokes household, suing for $48,000 allegedly due her, filed a revised bill of particulars in the Supreme Court Friday, declaring that for 20 years, she was Stokes' aid in planning the many nefarious plots she attributed to him. Amazing as the life record of Stokes was, with his incessant legal battles and wrangles, more astounding are the charges the former "Queen of the Underworld" brings against his character in affidavits supporting her claim. She directly accuses him of Inspiring the murder of Stanford White by Harry K. Thaw by sending the Pittsburg millionaire a letter telling him of Evelyn Nesbit's associations with White. This letter, she says, was the paper Thaw read and crumbled an instant before he drew a revolver and killed the noted architect 25 years ago next month. Stokes, according to Mrs. Johnson, took credit for the edict of Bishop William T. Manning, which prevented the marriage of Dr. Percy Stickney Grant to Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig who had been divorced almost 25 years before, although the rest of the world, including Mrs. Lydig and Dr. Grant believing the bishop's action was based solely on cononical grounds, Mrs. Lydig having been a divorcee. Mrs. Johnson swears she carried a missive to Bishop Manning from Stokes when the announcement of Dr. Grant's engagement to Mrs. Lydig was made. She did not know its contents at the time, she says, but later learned that it contained an obscene letter allegedly written by Mrs. Lydig "I don't know where Stokes got the letter," says the statement, "but I do know that soon after I delivered it. Bishop Manning issued an edict that Dr. Grant would have to give up his church if he married Mrs. Lydig. Incidentally, this was one of the most sensational cases in the annals of the Episcopal church in New York State. Dr. Grant, well-known, highly respected, rector of a fashionable church, and Mrs. Lydig, a Cuban beauty, who was immensely wealthy in her own right, were forbidden to marry. Since that time, both here and Since that time, both have died. Stokes' evil genius so completely gripped him, Mrs. Johnson declares, that he instructed her to purchase a colored church in Harlem in order that he might be in communication with servants who would investigate the private lives of hundreds of people for him. In an effort to have his own brother establish a $50,000 trust fund for her, she declared. Stokes attempted to prove that his own brother was Hattie's father. In her detective work, carrying out Stokes' wishes, the woman said she aided him in his divorce suit against his second wife, Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes of Denver. As a result of this court action, Stokes was tried, but acquitted, in Chicago, of conspiracy to defame Mrs. Stokes. At that time, Mrs. Johnson was described by a "Chicago judge as "the most dangerous woman in the world." She states, however, that at the time she was kept in ignorance of the motives behind Stokes' schemes. Her suit now is against W. E. D. Stokes, Jr., now in Reno, seeking a divorce for the balance of the trust fund which she claims young Stokes' father set aside for her. ISSUES CALL FOR BIENNIAL CONVENTION OF WOMEN (Bv. A. N. P.)

P) Lafayette, La., May 12.—This city steps forward with the claim to being the home of the oldest person in Louisiana, and probably in the South. The aged woman is Corrine Arceneaux Peter, who appears in the local census enumeration as being aged 120 years. She is not sure, however, but what she may be a few years older. Records trend to bear out her statement that she is at least 120. She resides with a son who is 69. The woman who has exceeded the century mark is not exactly certain whether she was born at Ponte Des Mouton in Lafayette Parish or Grand Coteau, in St. Landry Parish. Altho she is still rather active, she has some trouble in remembering dates and incidents. But she recollects particularly that she was sold as a slave at eleven years old and she also well remembers Civil War days. She has been employed at different times by some of the best known white families of this section. Henry Landry, one of the local enumerators, reported the age record which was announced by District Census Supervisor Louis E. Le Blanc thru his office here.

HANNAHS. 1426 E. 21st St. Los Angeles, Calif. Slayer of E. G. Tidrington is Acquitted Evansville, Ind., May 14.—After listening for two days to an overwhelming mass of testimony from more than a score of witnesses, a jury in Judge John J. Brady's court found Luther Bell, confessed slayer or E.G. Tidrington, former vice supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, not guilty of second-degree murder. The testimony of these witnesses made a horrible background for a career of despotism exercised by Tidrington as a political boss in the Negro section of this city. Man after man sat in the witness chair and told stories of tribute paid to Tidrington, of his, boasts and threats, of beatings with a blackjack which he had given his enemies, of great malice and frustrated ambitions, of his vaunted lordliness over the courts and public offices of the city. Emmity between Bell and Tidrington was traced to the time when Tidrington blamed Bell for the failure of the school commission to name the school after Tidrington. From that time on, witnesses asserted, and Bell corroborated, Tidrington oppressed him at every opportunity. On the night when he ran out of his pool room and fired the shot that ended Tidrington's career, Bell claimed that the things Tidrington had done to him had driven him insane and he did not know what he was doing. The officers who arrested him testified that he acted as a man of unsound mind. As a consequence, the jury, after deliberating only 26 minutes found him not guilty and recommended that he be examined to determine the state of his mind. Bv: A. N. P. COLUMBUS. MISS. May 14. The Lowndes County grand jury indicted Joe Murdock, a white cattleman, on a charge of murder in connection with the death a year ago of Sandy Green, whose body was found in the Buttahatchie River near Columbus. 1930 No. 49 OF RAPE (By: A. N. P) Yazoo City, Miss., May 14—"We the jury find the defendant guilty at charged, but cannot agree on his punishment," was the verdict of a jury in the case of the Emmett Norwood, white, tried for criminal assault on a 7-year-old colored girl. Norwood, a white man of Shaw, Miss., came to visit friends near Bentonia, last February 6. Testimony showed that he spent the morning in Bentonia, leaving there to go to his friend's home several miles distant. Passing a Negro school house, he encountered four colored children, one a girl of seven years, who were just leaving school. Flourishing a knife, he drove the boys off, took the girl into the woods and assaulted her before her 5-year-old sister. Norwood was identified by the girl and other children. He denied the charge. The penalty automatically carries life imprisonment. Can Prove Equality by Building from Within (By: A. N. P) Chicago, May 14—Attorney Herman E. Moore, installed Friday night as president of the Cook County Bar Association, at a banquet attended by members of the association and distinguished friends, declared that he believed one of the Negro's most effectual means of convincing other Americans and the world at large of the equality of his status was thus building up strong organizations within the race. "There is a school of though among us which lays emphasis upon the necessity of our thinking and acting in terms of being Americans and forgetting that we are Negroes," asserted Mr. Moore, "but I believe that we must establish organizations among ourselves and build them up as a reflection of our capacity."

P.) Atlanta, Ga., May 14: In a letter written April 26 to F. Trubee Davison; acting secretary of war, strong exception is taken by Wilson Lovett, treasurer of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, to the department's contemplated accordance of equal, but separate, accommodations to colored gold star mothers who are to visit the graves of their sons in France. Mr. Lovett had previously written a letter of protest, to President Hoover. This communication was referred to the acting war secretary who replied to Mr. Lovett and stated that colored mothers would receive the same treatment in every respect that would be given the white mothers. But in his response, Mr. Lovett accuses the war department of evading the point and of sanctioning before the world a jim crow practice that is humiliating to the millions of colored citizens of the world. "No such thing as equal accommodations can justify any separation or discrimination as between citizens based on complexion or nationality," asserts Mr. Lovett.

Out from nowhere, it secured. Gilpin came to score an outstanding success in Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones." So remarkable was Gilpin's performance in this play that, not withstanding O'Neill's unquestioned talent as a dramatist, the actor was given much of the credit for the success of the work.

Actors Think About Vacations, Too NEW YORK, May 14—It is customary for those not in the profession to regard the theatrical folk as belonging to another world something apart from the average person—yet, with all the glamor and glitter of the tinsel world, the members of the theatrical profession are human, very human, with all of the aims, ambitions, and desires of the average person.

Junior Sports Activities Junior Sports Activities (BY ART HAMILTON) THREE STATE CHAMPS Los Angeles has three state champions, the results of the State Track Meet that was held in the northern part of the state last Saturday. These champs are: Ashly Burch, of Jordan High; Carl Satterfield, of Manuel Arts, High; and Hassen of Jefferson High. Neither one of these boys with the possible exception of Satterfield were a favorite to take their respective races, but oh how they did come through when the occasion arrived. Placed In So. Cal As a matter of fact, the boys placed in the So. Cal. meet, but the showing they made in that meet gave no indication at all as to what the results up north were going to be. In the So. Cal. Satterfield paced first in the 440, the best Hassen and Burch could do was fourth. Cloud Over Burch Burch the Jordan High flash ran the 220 in the State Meet in record times, but did not get a chance at his favorite distance, the century, because being shoved out in the try outs for the So. Cal. Burch running in the tenth lane in the 100 during the tryouts and hundreds that saw the race, say that the dusky sprint star was a good tie for first, but the judges say otherwise and ruled the kid out. He showed them in the state with that rattling good time in the 220. They say the kid ran a masters race in college time. Two Years in School Yet Burch has two more years at Jordan and during that time, the kid with the proper training should turn out to be one of the best sprinters ever developed in the city. He runs the century in college time right now. Satterfield a Wizz This dusky boy from the west side known as Carl Satterfield is a wizz in every sense of the word. Carl has been running the 440 in consistent good time the year around and has suffered defeat not once this year, although LuValle of Poly, another dusky flyer did give him a scare in the So. Cal. Satterfield is another boy that has a year to stretch out in and really show them what he has in him. Cromwell of the Trojans would be a lucky man indeed if he could get this trio, when they finish their respective highs. Now For The Big Upset Hassen of Jeff, running he 880 was the biggest upset on the program.

That 880 is a mighty race and the Jefferson high boy ran a master race to beat the very best the State had. Just think, three dusky boys wearing state crowns this year and in the toughest divisions. Here they are again, just, in case you have forgotten them, but I don't see how you could. Burch in the 220, running it in college time and no less, Satterfield in the 440 and mighty good time. Hassen in the 880 in good time, time enough to beat the best on the Pacific Coast.

GEORGE IN "GOIN' HOME" Winnie Lightner Here Soon in New Warner Film What happens to girls who can't say "No?" This interesting question is answered in the Warner Bros. and Vitaphone production which comes to the Trivoli Theatre on Sunday with the vivacious Winnie Lightner in the leading role of "She Coutton's Say No." Winnie is one of those obliging souls who find themselves unable to refuse any request, but before the story has run its course she has occasion to wonder whether or not it is the best policy after all. This dramatic production has a background of theatre and night clubs, and presents a new variation of the love triangle in these interesting settings. Chester Morris is featured with Miss Lightner in "She Couldn't Say No." and the supporting cast includes Sally Eilers, Johnny Arthur and Tully Marshall. The picture was directed by Lloyd Bacon, famous as the director of Al Jolson's screen productions. The Jews say that Jesus was a Jew. It is peculiar why with their knowledge of the Nazarene they don't embrace Christian doctrines. I suppose that is because the Jew's view on the matter is purely historical. and, hits like a mule kicking with his right. Herbert Jones boxed an unknown opponent and took him with clock work effort.

EMMA WASHINGTON, HEAD MAID INSTRUCTOR AND WELFARE WORKER CELEBRATES 30 YEARS WITH PULLMAN— Six stripes and 30 years on the job is a long, long time for anybody to remain on a job, and when it is brought to our attention that a woman has achieved this remarkable record, the fact becomes more astonishing. Nevertheless on April 18th, Mrs. Emma Washington, head Maid Instructor and Welfare Worker, with headquarters in Chicago, celebrated her thirtieth anniversary as a Pullman employee. She entered the service in 1900. Her first experience as a maid was on the Lake Shore Limited, between New York and Chicago. From this train she was transferred to the Twentieth Century Limited, track excess fare train of the East, which replaced the old Lake Shore Limited as a fast train between the two cities. In the wreck of the Twentieth Century at Forsyth, Pa., in 1923, Mrs. Washington acted with such heroism in giving aid to the injured that she was voted heroine of the disaster. She was highly commended by the railroad officials for her work. In recognition for her all round good service, the Pullman management prompted her several years ago to the position of Welfare Worker and head instructor among maids. Shortly after maids were put on the Coast trains, Mrs. Washington made her Western tour of inspection. The writer had the pleasure of meeting her during her short stay in this city. She is keen on the various points of the service as pertains to her position and gave many helpful suggestions while here. PULLMAN CO., OFFERS BARGAINS—JOINS CUT RATE BRIGADE— In spite of the fact that it virtually has a monopoly on the type of business it sells, the Pullman Company has at last entered the field of the cut-rate merchant. This is disclosed by notices placed in Pullman cars announcing that, beginning May 1, there will be a reduction of 22 per cent in the rates of upper berths in sleeping cars. The reduction is not general however, for it will apply only to berths used as sections, and then only when these are occupied by passengers traveling alone, as in the following case: The passenger purchases a ticket for a lower berth, after boarding the car he decides he would like to have the use of a section. This he may secure by buying the upper at a reduction of 22 per cent of its regular rate. The upper and lower berths make a section, but the reduced rate may only be had in case the section is to be occupied by himself. Where two are traveling together, the reduction will not prevail. But even this concession in its berth rates is a radical departure in salesmanship for the Pullman Company, notwithstanding that, like the railroads, it is the carrier's business, but unlike the railroads, it has no competitors in the traveling field. Therefore on the surface this reduction seems somewhat surprising, but those who are conversant with the traffic business of the Company, the move is not al al astonishing. As a matter of fact these persons' see a real necessity for the move. In the last years Pullman revenue from its operating department has shown a steady decline according to the Company's fiscal statement of traffic and operating statistics, ending December 31, 1929, and sent to stockholders of record, this decrease is plainly obvious. The statement shows the following figures, among other items of operation: In 1925 there was operated 8,238 cars. The net revenue from these cars was $12,523.240. In 1926 cars operated were 8,952, net revenue was $2,552.756. In 1927 cars operated were 9,068, net revenue therefrom. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue stops of dictating, and as always, the writer found Mr. Johnson highly enthused over the success of the new venture. Approximately an hundred men have taken shares in the Credit Union, and nearly as many more have inquired by mail for information, relative to the Credit Union plan. The first large meeting of shareholders was held on the 30th of April, and at this time Mr. Fred G. Thornton was elected as chairman, and Clarence R. Johnson, secretary. The election of a Board of Directors to serve during the ensuing year was also held at this meeting, and the following able men were elected: Fred G. Thornton, John Kelson, Clarence R. Johnson, John Belton, Mal Moore Hibler, Monte Humphrey, Joe Rakestraw, Joe Robertson and Clarence T. Johnson. Many Pullman Porters have already taken our shares in the Credit Union, and it was learned from Mr. Johnson that the Santa Fe Red Caps have made several inquiries for data on the movement. A new fire and burglar proof safe has been ordered which will be in great need within a short time. The office is a fine example of system and neatness. All shareholders books are kept in a neat file, so as to be within the touch of the secretary's hand on a second's notice. Mr. Johnson explained to the writer, that he intends to have no confusion in handling the business affairs of the Credit Union. To say that he has his hands full to conduct the vast business as pertains to his local, and also that of the Credit Union, would be stretching the point a bit in Mr. Johnson's case, and all for the reason that he has worked both night and day for many months, long before this wonderful organization was introduced to the public, and he has perfected a system which makes the otherwise difficult task a mere incident in the general trend of his affairs. A series of meetings were to be held from May 12th to 16th to put the final touches on the Credit Union, and have the shareholders sign certain official papers. The Railroad Clatter wishes to extend its sympathy to Mr. Tanner over the loss of Mrs. Tanner, his beloved wife. Wierd "Ingagi" Picture Attracts Colored ```markdown ``` To see before one's eyes, life on the dark continent, Africa, cradle of the human race is a boon that has for six weeks past been given patrons of the Ortheum Theater. This comes through "Ingagi" greatest and most marvelously authentic of all travel pictures. To witness animals and savages going about their business unconscious that the camera eye is on them recording every move. Dances of war, grief or pleasure, customs and rites, never before revealed, magnificent stalwart bodies of men and comely bodies of women are seen as graphically as if about to step from the screen. Curious to record the animal and human life of the inner Congo, Sir Hubert Winstead and party including two camera men made a long safari into the Mikjeno Mountains, penetrating to the mysterious inner mazes of Karisimbi and Visoki, whence had comes whispered unbelievable tales of giant half-human gorillas and an unknown tribe of primitive peoples, but a half step higher than they. Starting in 1926 the expedition was finished a few months ago after hundreds or adventures and the death of one of the cameramen torn by a lion, all of which is shown on the screen. Sixty-five foot long pythons, hippo- $10,359,197. For 1928, are given 9,248 cars, net revenue as $10,938,059. For the year of 1929, cars operated were 9,529 and their net revenue was $9,185,199. Compared with the number of cars operated, it is plainly to be seen that each year since 1925 has shown a fiscal decrease. The report further shows that the net revenue per passenger in 1925 averaged 35 per cent; in 1926 31 per cent; in 1927 29 per cent; in 1928, 32 per cent; and in 1929, 27 per cent; the lowest in earnings of all. The statement explains, however that the low mark for new earnings of 1929 came as a result of increased expenditures, principally on account of higher wage cost, heavier maintenance expenditures and less favorable car service contracts with important railroads, made prior to the great change in operating conditions and costs that came in during the war. These contracts, the statement adds, are being revised or renewed on terms more favorable to the Company. But leaving technical figures and explanations aside, there are reasons, which are quite comprehensive, as to why the earnings of the Pullman car have declined in recent years. These reasons are obvious even to the porters. The first is the railroad surcharge; the war time assessment, which has never been removed, has been the means of the Pullman Company loosing many dollars, especially in its chair car and seat service. Many are the potential passengers who would readily pay 50c for a 50-mile ride in a Pullman car, but demur at having to cough up an additional 25c for the privilege. Consequently, much patronage is lost to the Pullman car because of this extra taxation. Another instance to which may be ascribed loss of revenue is the system that the railroads now have of operating ten sleeping cars on a train where six or seven of these cars would be quite adequate for the number of passengers carried. In other words, the railgads are operating a plethora of Pullman cars on some of their trains. While this condition is not so evident out here in the West, it is known to be a common occurrence in the East. Two of the best known trunk lines in America are good examples of this practice. It might truthfully be said that there isn't a Pullman train leaving either of these roads' main terminal points, but couldn't comfortably accommodate all their passengers within from two to three cars less than the number which comprise the trains made up; holidays excluded of course. You may ask, in what way does this effect Pullman earnings? Why, the explanation is easy. If a sleeping car may comfortably accommodate 26 passengers, it operates ten months in the year and is built for that purpose, yet with an average of thirteen passengers, the result in its earnings is obvious. Still you might say, why do railroads do this, since they are equally loosers? Why do they do it? That is the question, since these heavy cars are a wear and railroads do this, since they are hard on motor power, to say nothing about road-beds. The surmise here is that it is done for advertising purposes, and nothing else. There is a bitter rivalry between the two roads in mind, hence it is assumed that each wishes to have it appear that the volume of its traveling business warrants the number of cars. Then again, the sur-charge collection keeps a half filled car from running at a dead loss, so why should they worry? they worry. But in the mean time, this doesn't help the Pullman end of the business; not even the porter's end. So, it is difficult to understand how the Pullman Company operated 8,631 cars in 1928, against 8,238 in 1925, yet the net revenue in 1925 was $1,585,151 over that of 1928. Today there are certain Western trains running out of New York, and Chicago whose porters seldom have to make an upper berth. The sale of all lowers means putting on an extra car. It is not to wondered at that formerly independent Mr. Pullman, has fallen in line with the other bargain offers and cut-rate tradesmen in his car service business. Apparently the railroads are driving him to it. At any rate, his managers have hit upon a plan whereby upper berths and Pullman porters will at least get a break. DINING CAR EMPLOYEES HOLD FIRST MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR CREDIT UNION— With new office files and a charming young lady for a stenographer, Mr. Clarence R. Johnson, secretary of the Dining Car Employees Credit Union was at last well on the way toward transacting the large volume of business that his organization expects to do within the next few months. While he was busy dictating which was piled on top of his desk a dirth of unanswered correspondence in his cozy office, the writer managed to ply a question or two between potami, the fierce rhinoceros, elephants, ostriches, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and a long sought race of tiny pygmies, just a few feet high were sought and encountered. GORILLAS KIDNAP WOMAN But of all the exciting happenings torn from this page of real natural history the grippingly, thrillingly fascinating of all is that goal of their journey the "ingagl" country. There is danger, from man and beast. They filmed the secret rites of the long searched for tribe that overshadowed by the grotesque power of the gorilla annually sacrifices a young woman, who left at a given spot is kidnapped and carried bodily into the jungle by one of the giant beasts, who takes her for his consort. History has proven that man in a brute environment inks to a wild state so the kidnapped women in course of time become as the "ingagl," raising strange lookings half gorilla children. MANY COLORED WITNESS FILM Aside from the education all races find in this picture, which reveals secrets of man's very origin the curious interest that every nationality holds in its origin, has drawn many colored patrons to gaze and wonder. Though the whole house sits silently, intent all through the scenes the colored patrons seem more tensely gripped by the rapidly changing scenes than an yother.

Albertine Pickens, with her winning personality, song hits beautiful voice and peppy dancing, is a hit. Mitchell and Redmond 'classy little fast dancing team and the well-known Dick Sanders and Brandon, of stage, club and movie fame have turned the mid-night shows into a choice display of colored talent. Pony choruses from the Apex are also added and with the current burlesque show, "Sugar Babies" as the white part of the Midnight Frolics the laughter and fun runs into the wee sum' hours, with the big crowds still wanting more. HUB HAS CHINESE PLAY The little Hub stepped out last Saturday and scooped a Chinese play featuring Anna May Wong, distinguished Chinese actress and Nel-Lan Fang China's greatest singer. It was replete with love, romance and mystery or old China with a travelogue of scenes in Hong Kong and Canton. GAYETY SHOWED KING OF KONGO In accordance with the present popularity of African stories and scenes the enterprising and up-to-the-minute Gayetty showed "King of the Kongo" in its sixth Chapter, Sunday and Monday. This Friday and Saturday it has "The Very Idea" and Bob Steele in "Cowboy and Outlaw." TIVOLI AND SAVOY CROWDED The Tivoli and Savoy were crowded every night last week. Their Country Store nights are extremely popular as there are always ten families lugging home a supply of groceries. Sunday vaudeville at the Tivoli is the "berries." FIELDS WAS HEAVIEST No alibi was made about weight when the welter title changed hands last Friday for Jackie Fields, world's welterweight boxing champion, enjoyed a three-pound advantage over Jack Thompson for their title bout. Fields scaled 145 3-4 and Thompson 142 3-4. STRIBLING STOPS GERMAN London, May 8—(U. P.)—W. L. (Young). Stribling, American heavyweight, knocked out Hans Schonrath, official heavyweight champion of Germany, in the second round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Albert hall, the referee halting the contest to save the German from further punishment. BOOK NOTES If you are among those who know little or nothing about the contribution of the Negro to American literature you should go visit the Helen Hunt Jackson or Vernon Branch Library and borrow An Anthology of American Negro Literature, edited by V. F. Calverton. This anthology is composed of selections made from a definite and reasoned point of view, the point of view of a critic who sees literature as something very much bound up with social questions. It is not the ordinary type of "literary" anthology, for it includes, besides creative fiction and poetry and essays on literary topics, a number of articles on sociological problems of the Negro and, more over selections from the three most valuable Negro autobiographies, Mr. Calverton introduces his book with an essay on "the growth of Negro literature," in which he says, "The contributions of the Negro to America culture constitute our chief claim to originality." Those who are unfamiliar with the work of our Negro poets will find BLODGETT MOTOR COMPANY Hudson & Essex Dealers 2516--18 CENTRAL HUmbolt 8365 those of special quality represented here such as Claude McKay, Counter Cullen, Jean Toomer, and Langston Hughes. The distinctly minor poets of the race are also included in discriminating satchels. Since this anthology is too brief to include whole novels Mr. Calverton has given the reader selections from Walter White's The Fire in the Flint DuBois' "The Dark Princess," Claude McKay's Home to Harlem, Rudolph Fisher's Walls of Jericho and others that are tantalizing enough to make the reader want to investigate their work in its entirety. The anthology closes with a valuable section of biographical notes and is recommended for all readers desiring a comprehensive but brief introduction to American Negro literature. JUST DREAMING By: Luena Smith To-night I lay in bed. With pillow under head. While sleeping, I shall dream. Of bright and gold sunbeams. When I went to sleep last night, I closed my eyes very tight, I creamed about my love, Decending from above. I'm lonely, lonely true, Lonesome hours make me blue; It's imagination, My mind should have vacation. Oh fear, worries and despair Happiness should compare, I'm just a dreamer anyway Whose dreams come true some day. Fifty Prisoners Drunk on Peddled Booze By: A. N. P. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. May 14- William Rockford, a former city patrolman, alleged to be the jail trusty who turned professional bootleger in the city jail. Saturday night, is being sought by the police, in nearby cities. The whisky stolen from, a storgae cell and sold to, the prisoners from $1 to $5 a quart, comprised a score of bottles of "Golden Wedding" and "William Penn" rye and several quarts of reputed genuine Scotch whisky, part of a $10.000 haul seized by the police vice squad Saturday evening, in a raid on a saloon at California and Arctic Avenues. Unable to locate a police official who had a key to the vice squads vaults, the seized liquor was placed for "safe keeping" in a cell in the city jail. During the night: Rockford, according to the police, started his boot-legging operations. He had been arrested late Saturday on charges of being drunk and disorderly, but was not locked in a cell, because he was once an officer. By the aid of two poles, he fished out the loose whisky bottles from the cell, then began his peddling operations to both male and female inmates, by his activities he earned enough to pay his own bail bond and make his getaway before police officials were aware of the theft. Rockford, for whom the police say they will seek warrant charging larceny and perhaps illegal sale of liquor, was dismissed from the police force last fall by Director Cuthbert, when he was found hopelessly crunk in the police signal tower at Kentucky and Arctic Avenues.

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN. | [1 his preachments Elbert Hubbatd reflects ‘am not sure just what the unpardonable sins, but I believe it is the disposition to posipone and evade the payment of small bills.” How vast is the army of workers-for their-fellowmen who éan say amen to-that little sermon. Perhaps there are sins. more unpardonable than “the postponement and evasion of. bill-paying,” but at least it can not be said that there is a sin more frequent in commission. ‘Tradespeople, professional men and other public servants will attest to that latter as a declaration of fact. To be sure,no one would place“the brand of “dead-beat” upon all who slow in pay. There are extenuating circumstances in all phases of life and financial reverses, poverty and ill-fortune are visited upon most members of the human family sometimes during their worldly existence. Towasd such the creditor-world gladly shows patience. But Hubbard re- marks that “curiously enough. the people who are most given to this sort of sin are not the poor nor the illiterate.” Hubbard might have mused over the matter further and found that ‘the, “postponers and eVaders of payments of small bills may be divided into two groups, those, who must gratify a mania for buying, knowing they have not the wherewithal to pay for their extravagances, and those who, without any. perverted intent to defraud or cheat, have allowed themselves to |acquire the habit of “slow-paying.” the former in time lose their credit but the latter lose the respect of their fellowmen, which is greater than credit. Makea bargain and keep it. Every man is entitled to the dollar he has earned and if you accept service you admit his title to his “pay” for that service. .

Straw hats were first made and worn by the Roméans. However, his- tory records that it was not until many cenjuries later that straw hats really became popular. It was in the sixteenthi century that Mary, Queen af Scots. becante interested in the wearing of Straw hats, and it was this ) same Mary who popularized the straw hat. She employed a number of straw-pliaters and returned with them to Scotland, where her people. Were trained in the art of straw-hat making. - Tuscany furnishes the finest straws and plaids.

We know some jurist's who at the first mention of an oppro- bious epithet would have taken the offender to task, But according to the report, it is alleged that the Los Angeles jurist sat unconcerned while an attorney who claimed the South as his place,of birth and—tike all others of his ilk—too poor tofemploy a chore boy, but claimed the rearing by. the imaginary ‘Black Mammy” discredited the word of a naged mother: claimed that Negroes or “niggers” were so emotional that they did not know the truth. According to the report that attorney villified the Negro race. He insinuated that they were all liars and could not be depended up- on for truthfulness. Again we say; If that Judge was apathetic while that attorney spewed his tirade to the jury: If that Judge did-not call the at- tention of the attorney to the fact.that he was insulting the intelligence of the Court and of the jury by prejudiced remarks: then we Tepeat.once again, that, that judge is incompetent to decide with fairness questions of law where racial conditions\contr-t and ‘the voters of Los Angeles should remember that when agaifhe’¢smes before them for re-election. | N.

Mr. Courtenay Monsen, Sec'y of the Board of Education, will be the main speaker. Mr. Monsen has traveled throughout Southern Europe, South America, Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. He will relate a few of his experiences in these countries. **HOME AGAIN** Mr. and Mrs. Ward "Ted" Williams are home again after several months sojourn at Spokane, Washington. Relatives and friends are glad to see them back. We have been told that a Negro actor is being sought to appear with Lillian Gish in "Othello". Hitherto the part was played by a Nordic made dark with paint. If the news is true that such precedence is going to be established we prophecy better days in the future for Colored Artists of the stage and screen. OPEN LETTER Dear Editor: Here is an answer to the letter asking why the Negro ministers do not attend these Forum meetings. (1) Negro ministers of Pasadena are too self-centered; (2) They are too occupied with material things. They would probably tell you that they are too busy Sunday afternoons, but they are not too busy to stuff their bellies and rear back and discuss real estate deals, church banquets, and the latest show. Of course, I realize that some Sunday afternoons they are busy, but they are not as busy as they pretend. (3) They hesitate to assist anything however good it is unless they are at the head of it. (4) They are so busy protecting their little denominations, that they lack time to co-operate in any worthwhile movement that aims to better the Negroes. These meetings at the Library are worthwhile, else why would people come all the way from Los Angeles and Hollywood to attend them? Mr. Echols has told me that news of the work of these meetings has already spread over Southern California to the extent that he has been invited to represent the Forum at the University of California, L. A. and also he has been invited to conduct a meeting at which Governor Young of California, Mayor Porter of Los Angeles, and other officials will be present. So I dare say tait if such people as these find time to take part in inter-racial affairs (even if for only political purposes) the backward, unprogressive, narrow-minded Negro Ministers have no excuse. They should occasionally at least, appear progressive even if they are not. Yours for Progress. —A. SINNER QUAKER PROGRAM Mrs. D. W. Phelps is sponsoring a program to be held 7:30 Sunday at the Friends Church, cor. Orange Grove and Oakland. Mrs. Ollie Ann Robinson. Viola Baucom-Brazi1. Mr. Thomas Anderson and others will appear. Carl Echols will also take part. A BAD RUMOR Not so long ago a $150.00 violin was stolen at one of the local schools and pawned for $2.50. The thief has not been located, although the pawn broker states that it was a Negro. Further, just this week a Negro falls under suspicions, of stealing $15 from the If You Fail To Read-THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE-You May Never Know It Happened gymnasium. Of course Negroes are not the only ones accused of stealing, but it is no excuse for us. If the reports are true the person or persons should cease their stealing proclivities if for no other reason than the bad reflection it casts on the race. I learned the facts from School authorities and so did the white press! CHURCH NEWS Rev, Floyd Haynes left Monday for the General Methodist Conference that convenes at Louisville, Ky.

CARD OF THANKS We the family of Mr. Roy Isler wish to thank our many friends for the services rendered during the illness and death of our beloved son, husband and brother, also for the beautiful floral pieces. Mr. and Mrs. S. Isler Mrs. Crystal Isler, Wife Mr. and Mrs. E. Roberts Mrs. Vera Sanford Mrs. Bessie White Mr. Chaucey Isler "IT'S BOLOGNA" It would be amusing, were it not so pathetic, just how far some folks imagine they can camouflage. For instance, on two or three occasions when presenting statements for collection, we have been met with this, "I'll mail a check," which on its face sounds absolutely all right, but when the time for mailing the check has terminated and the bill is again presented, this is what we are handed: "Don't you know I haven't had time to write that check, just been too busy." "Why not write it now, I can wait," is our answer, only to be further put off. Believe it or not, we have been put off by two different individuals for nearly a month now waiting for them to write and mail a check, which by anybody's watch would require about three minutes. One firm put us off in this manner until it went out of business. Now folks, we have no criticism regarding your desire to write checks but why not be honest and tell it as it is, if you haven't the money, say when you will have at least a part of it, and be fair; don't keep a person phoning or calling at your address according to your own promise only to be indefinitely put off with the same reply.

It has been a number of years since we had set foot on Chico soil ano as we did alight we had in mind spending an hour or so. But we ran into that old bagojo prejudice and only stopped long enough to take aboard 5 instead of 50 gallons of gas and call on our old time, friend Geo. Daley. Geo. looked so prosperous that we thought he was Mayor of Chico. He has a lovely home and a wonderful wife. When we told him about running into some folks that didn't want our business Geo. diplomatically explained to our satisfaction, that they must of been strangers from Georgia, "Chico, said he is O. K. and remembering the great time they gave the K. P. Lodge when it met there several years ago, we tipped our hat and agreed with Chico's most popular citizen and booster, Geo. Daley. We are going to try and get the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to import Geo. to our city. A booster like him would attract thousands of folks to our burg. No wonder Chico has grown and spread. Give L. A. a Chico Daley and we'll grow too. I thank you. * * * Red Bluff, California Here we arrived about 6 P. M. and parked long enough to pay our respect to the Mayor, Sheriff, and Albert "Happy Churchill." Happy runs Red Bluff when its not running him. He layed aside his business during our stay of ten minutes and showed us all over the city. My how that place has growth from a burg to a City, and how our chest swelled with pride and our eyes bulged when he said. Mr. Exhaust meet the Mayor. We also met his better half, and saw for the first time in our life a tame wild cat that lives with Hap and the madam and runs free about the premiss. Not knowing the degree of tameness he possessed why we on first sight climbed a 50 foot telegraph pole and turned the premises over to him. Mrs. Churchill assured us he was harmless so we came down off our perch, got in the car and tore out for Sacramento without buying gas as it was 22 cents per gallon. Sacramento, California This being our home, the place where we were morn and reared why we spent a day and night getting about. Fred Butler chaparroned us about and we looked up the old timers. Pop called on Mr. and Mrs. Frank Butler, and found them as of yore interesting and well, also Frank, Jr. Next hot footed, it down to the Chamber of Commerce and visited with that venuable Patroit, and race man B. A. Johnson, a man too modest to record for posterity the history of his life. We hope hell change his mind, ere its too latt, and record in a written tangable form historical facts of incidents and past events that have to do with the progress and growth of our group in this state over a period of some sixty odd years. Next, Will Slaughter and wife, and found them wearing the same hospitable smile. Bob Panky, Elebick and our old side, wheeler Walter Dunlap were some of the old gang we found still boosting Sacramento stock. Looked up the Hollands and found them the same big hearted entertainers that they have always been accused of being. They have a wonderful home, modern in every respect. Willie Brown had the adacity to rob Chico of one of its most promising young ladies and sneaked off, got married and has a beautiful home next door to the old folks. Saw Mrs. H. O. Johnson and mother but missed the duke himself. Harry Time denied us the opportunity of seeing Geo. Dunlap and family, Bill Taylor and his, and the Robbinsons, Mr. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened DR. H. CLAUD HUDSON President of the N. A. A. C. P. of Los Angeles M. Dr. H. C. Hudson who was appointed by the Mayor, as a member of the Citizens Water Bond Campaign Committee is making this final request that all voters bear in mind May 20th and Vote YES on the Water Bonds. It will reduce unemployment, assure adequate water supply, guaranteeing future prosperity, and industrial development: These bonds will have no effect on taxes, or assessments. It is your Civic duty to Vote and see that your neighbor does also. POLITICAL POT PIE The candidates for the various offices are now getting their bearings and it looks like a real campaign will be on by the ides of June. The northern section of the state where the political pot is boiling right now: despite the presence of two candidates for Governor from the same area, the citizens thereq are much impressed with the accomplishments of the Hon. Buron Fitts and he will receive a hearty support all along the line. JamesSims, pioneer realty dealer in the San Jauquin Valley, is taking an active part in the political arena and is a hard worker for the interest of his people. Coroner H. M. Hadley of Tulare County, is one of the progressive officials who believes at all times in moving forward and as a consequence the Hadley Morticians at Visalia is one of the most imposing on the coast and would do credit to any of the metropolitan cities. The cry, already sent out by the voters of our group is: "If Not Flitts for Governor, who have we to vote for?" Wm. Bigbee, Jr., Dr. Wallace and Dixon are doing yoeman service at Fresno and seeing to it that the political issues are gotten before the citizens for them to decide upon. Wm. McLamore is much in evidence and has the political situation in and around the Bay Cities at his fingers' tips. He can be relied upon to give to the people the fullest information for their guidance and finding out they will be better prepared to decide upon whom they shall give their support. The signs of the times are to the effect this will be an educational primary. This will most certainly be to our liking for when the truth is told and understood—"that truth will make you free." Messrs Meyers and Welcher of Hanford, two of our foremost and energetic citizens of the San Juana Valley, are indeed worthy of the confidence which they enjoy from their people and also from all other classes in the City of Hanford and in King County. They can be depended upon at all times to stand up for their people and their progress. Mrs. E. W. also John Slaughter and wife. Looked up Mrs. Mary Gaim and found her nappy in her declining years domiciled with her niece, Mrs. Flood. Also saw Mr. and Mrs. John Scott. Geo. White and Mrs. Ed. Johnson. My sister-in-law and husband. Mr. and Mrs. Evans Trigg celebrated the 10th wedding anniversary in the evening of the day we spent in Sacramento and what a time we had. All I can say to you folks that haven't got a sister-in-law, or brother-in-law you don't know what you're missing. Of course I have the best in-law relatives that are living, but there isn't any reason why you that haven't any can't compete among yourselves for the honors of next best. We paice a special visit to the one and only Archibald Christopher. Archie who has known us from childhood is a prominent character in this mans town and so well known and liked that they don't allow him to go near the depot for tear some one will kidnap him and carry him off. Central Avenue and the Central Avenue District is most fortunate in having a number of LIVE WIRE hands for the purpose of rendering aid in advancing the interests of our group. These men realize, that our men and women must have employment—they must eat, have homes in which to live and money to educate their children—besides if we are to take our proper place in the civic life of the community we must be able to support our churches, our charitable institutions and such other organizations as work for the public good. With the thought in mind of securing more employment for our people a committee from the Central Avenue Business Men's club appeared before the full Commission of the Department of Water and Power, asking that members of our group be considered when it came to employment in that Department. This committee was shown every courtesy and was assured there would be no discrimination against those of our race. In order to publicly bring the matter before the Commission it was suggested that the Business Men's club file a communication, in letter form, with the Commission which would in turn be answered by the President of that body setting forth the exact attitude of the Department of Water and Power on the employment situation and both communications are given herewith in full: May 5th, 1930. Board of Water and Power Commissioners. Attention—Dr. John R. Haynes, Press This club is making an honest effort to interest Corporations and Employers of Labor in securing employment for members of our group, and in as much as YOUR DEPARTMENT of the City Government furnishes employment to many hundreds of MEN and WOMEN in this community we are taking the liberty of addressing you asking that when places are open, which can be filled by members of our race, will you not be kind enough to give OUR PEOPLE consideration to the extent that we may at least have a fair share of those places? As you perhaps know there are in As you perhaps know there are in the City of Los Angeles approximate Vote for Water Bonds May 20 From the Dept. of Water and Power The approval of the Water Bonds on May 20th will protect the investment of every small home owner in his property by making the value of that home secure and that the earnings derived from the sale of the water developed by bond investments will pay the carrying charges on the bonds themselves, was made plain in statements issued by literally scores of well known home owners and commercial organizations throughout Los Angeles. These district taxpayers' and community business men's groups representing the convictions of the citizen who is seeking to safeguard his life's savings in home and business property, are unanimous in pointing out that water is the life blood of Los Angeles—and without ample supplies of this necessity we cannot hope to go forward or even hold our own It was further stressed that the Water Bond issue, in no sense, is an expenditure of public funds for improvements that can be posted, but rather is an urgently imperative investment that is bound to pay its own way through the sale of water to a constantly growing number of water consumers. As an indication, of the city-wide support being given the Water Bonds from the actual home owners, wage earners and district business men, the Citizens Water Bond Committee has received endorsements this far from the following well-known organizations: ly ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COL-ORED PEOPLE, and of this number about FORTY THOUSAND are voters, and we are of the opinion that if our people knew they could count on having THEIR SHARE of places in your Department there would be an almost SOLID VOTE for the WATER BONDS. You can rely upon our organization helping you in any way we can and we trust you will feel free to call upon us at any time. May 6th, 1930 Central Avenue Business Men's Club Brookins Building. Los Angeles, California Los Angeles, California. Gentlemen: Attention: Mr. Curtis B. Mosby, Press. Replying to your letter of the 5th inst., with respect to the employment of the personal of this Department, I presume you are aware that all employment, excepting day laborers, is subject to Civil Service provisions of the City Charter; that the Charter affords opportunity for employment to every citizen, without discrimination. This Department, in common with other Departments of the City, obtains the services of its employees from these permanent lists furnished by the Civil Service Commission. Specifically, this Department by formal action, has declared that in the employment of Citizens, there will be no discrimination whatever on account of race, religion or color. 1930. It may interest you to know that we now have in the employ of this Department, some 45 men and women of the colored race who have won their places through Civil Service, and are maintaining their positions by reason of their loyalty, fidelity and efficiency. As funds through bond issues for enlarged operations of the Department are provided from time to time, the opportunities in this branch of the City Government will correspondingly increase. The Colored People of Los Angeles may find grounds for congratulation that they have been able to furnish all told, some 1,800 qualified men and women for municipal service. Thanking you for your inquiry, I remain. Very truly yours. BOARD OF WATER & POWER COMMISSIONERS John R. Haynes, President. Sheriff Bob Hill Stands For Re-Election in Tulare County Having served the citizens of Tulare County as its highest peace officer for the past eight years and having demonstrated all of the highest qualifications in the position of Sheriff, leading citizens of all classes have insisted on Sheriff Bob Hill to stand for re-election to another term, and as a consequence the genial and efficient Sheriff has responded to their request by making his intentions known to the voters of the county. Recognizing the long and faithful service of the West's greatest weekly and appreciating to the highest the group which it serves Sheriff Hill has requested us to announce to its readers who reside in and are voters in Tulare County his candidacy to succeed himself as Sheriff of this fast-growing and important county. He cites his record of achievement since he has served in this office and is willing for the people to decide at the August Primaries his fate. Sheriff Hill is known far and near for his democratic spirit which carries with it to treat all people as he would wish to be treated. With this spirit prevailing in the Sheriff's office, Tulare County boasts of one of the most peaceful counties in the state. Crime is at a minimum and the jail is only half filled in marked contrast to most all of the county jails in the state, wherein many are filled to overflowing. Sheriff Hill is a native son and had had a rien and varied experience from contact in all of the various walks of life. This situation has stood him well in hand to such an extent that he is recognized throughout the country as one of the best peace officers in the ranks, and has given to Tulare County a wonderful record of which it might well feel proud. All classes will give to Ben Hill a strong support to succeed himself as Tulare County's next Sheriff. payers' Association; Apartment House and Hotel Protective Association; North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce; Hollenbeck Heights Improvement Association; Boyle Heights Property Owners' Association; East Beverly Boulevard Association; Eastside Property Owners Association; East Los Angeles Commonwealth League; Lorena Heights Improvement Association; Eastside Citizens' Association; Ninth District Chamber of Commerce.

It was interesting indeed to hear these little seven year old children debate this mighty subject in their childlike, yet persuasive way. The decision was given the little girls through popular applause, but those boys were far from slow in their arguments, depending wholly upon memory. Pauline Oliver, president of the organization, and each officer in turn was called upon to define his or her respective duties. Starting with eleven members, there is now an enrollment of sixty-six. Mrs. Hutson and M. Greigs, in the short talks made by each, highly praised the efforts of Mrs. Morgan in being able to get together and hold so many children in the community, it is indeed commendable to see their responsiveness to their sponsor's instruction. Sunday, Mother's Day, was appropriately observed at Bethel A. M. E. Church. At 11 A. M. Rev. A. M. C. R. Runyon preached from Proverbs 31:14. "She is like the merchants' shirts, she bringeth her food from afar." The large congregation listened at tentively as he ably dealt with this scripture. Very annealingly Mr. Miller Jordan sang, "When Mother Prayed" Other soloists assisted by the choir were Mrs. Mabel Wiltz and Mr. A. E. Vest. A very splendidly arranged Race Relations program was given at 7:30 under the direction of Mr. D. V. Allen, who, after the formal service opening by the pastor, in a few brief, pointed remarks, set forth the object of these monthly meetings which bring together the various races with a view to having them better understood by the contact. Treble Clar 12 Club, snonsored and accompanied by Mrs. A. Floyd, did itself around in its initial appearance. Every member showed careful preparator especially in "Mother" and "Swing Alone". Miss Roberta Woods and Mrs. Mary Harmer at once priored themselves favorites with the audience as they sane. "Simo Ma To Sleep" in duet arrangement. Miss Lucila McWilliams was enthusiastically received in her solo selections. The Chula Vista orchestra of the First M. F.

District Attorney Stephen Connell was the speaker of the evenings. He talked most interestingly of the work of his office, dealing with one phase of the work, that being the civil side. Time would not allow him to dictate regarding the criminal division of this very important department. He expressed himself as being confident of the great benefits that are gained through these Race Relations programs fostered by Mr. Allen. At the conclusion of the program the large audience was invited to the lecture room of the church where refreshments had been prepared for mothers as honor guests, and an abundance of good things were served. No one could have gone away dissatisfied. Let us not be selfish in giving credit to whom credit is due, particularly where results are apparent. The drama, "The Wonderful Mother," written by Miss Bobbie Logan and presented at the Neighborhood House last Saturday night, was well attended and praiseworthy. Miss Logan is a young woman, striving to make her mark in the world as a writer. Some encouragement, not flattery, from you may mean much to her. Phone in your church and other news items to M. 5430 any time before Tuesday night of each week.

Miss Lucile Lethridge is still confined to the hospital, although improving. Rev. G. W. Hill, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church is listed among the sick. The Poet Study Group of the local N. A. A. C. P. will meet Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Assembly room of the Welfare Building. Mrs. Ernest Morgan is chairman of this department which bids fair to the accomplishment of great things along its particular line of work. Disinquished Visitors—Miss E. L. Kelly, manager of the Piney Woods Singers, and Mrs. J. D. Hardy, postmistress of Piney Woods and sister of Prof. L. C. Jones, founder and president of the school, spent a few days in the city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Allen. 2841 Franklin, Miss Kelley, who was here during the winter with a group of young men singers from the school and who was also acting as financial secretary will be remembered by the many friends she made by her lovable disposition and friendliness toward all. She is returning to Piney Woods to send out two or three more groups of singers through the East and Northeast. The group that sang in this city and vicinity is now in Oakland. There are three of these companies in the West working for the interest of that progressive institution of learning in the Southland. Mrs. Hardy came West to accompany Miss Kelly back to the school and to take a much needed vacation. Long Beach, California BY E. RAMSEY WASHINGTON Well folks summer will soon be here.

Mrs. G. Bradley was popular elected Ruler. The names of officers will appear in the next issue of the Eagle. The Roland Haves unit of the Republican-Study club is proving to be more interesting than was dreamed of. Several prominent speakers have addressed the club. RETURN FROM TRIP TO OKLAHOMA Mr. and Mrs. Pete Lanier, 1275 East 2st Street, have returned from at rip to Enid, Oklahoma, and various points in that state, Kansas and Oklahoma, where they combined business with pleasure. At Enid, they were the guests of Mr. Lanier's nephew and wife, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Calvin and were accompanied home by their grandmother; Mrs. Amanda Calvin. Great Credit is Due Presiden J. P. King and Bishop John A. Gregg (BY R. A. ADAMS) Phenomenal is not too strong a term to use in designating and emphasizing the progress of Western University Kansas City, Kansas, under the administration of President J. P. King and the supervision of Bishop John A. Gregg, of the Fifth Episcopal District; and the evidence herein adduced will justify the claims, in the eyes of all who will give them unbiased consideration. LITERARY PROGRESS It would require much time and space to enumerate the features of literary improvement, but, for the purpose of a few items will be cited. 1. For the first time in its history Western University ranks as one of the "plus" schools of Kansas, a distinction for which every school in the State strives. 2. The University has now a High school amply equipped and fully accredited; and this is due to the completeness of its curriculum, the proficiency of its faculty, and the thoroughness of its work. This recognition and distinction are highly prized, coming from directors of the Kansas educational system which is one of the most exacting in the United States. 3. During the last session of the Inter-State Literary Association, Mr. M. M. Matthus, a student of Western University won first prize in the oratorical contest in which some of the brightest of Kansas youths participated. PROGRESS IN MUSIC Under the direction of Miss Helen Brooks Western University has developed a group of the best singers it has ever had. These talented young people are doing the school a great service in extension work; they are popular and their services are sought to a degree that would take all of their time, if they were not engaged in prosecution of their studies. All of these singers are real artists and a great credit to the school, in every possible way. Among these singers are two coloratural sopranos of the first rank, Miss Laura Anderson, of Wichita, Kansas, and Miss Inez Stevens of Hannibal, Mo. Miss Anderson has an excellent voice, and according to some of the best critics, is a young woman of great promise. Miss Stevens' voice has a wonderful range and great sweetness, and CONNER-JOHNSON CO. RECENT DEATHS Mr. H. E. Curtis, 1526 E. 48th St. is on the sick list. Little Katrinka Johnson, of East 25th street, was the guest of honor at a birthday party, Saurday, May 3rd, celebrating her 3rd anniversary. Several little folk enjoyed the occasion. The party was given by her grandmother, Mrs. Richards. PIONEER CLUB To all members of Pioneer Club No. I. next regular meeting will be at the residence of Mrs. D. R. Jones 846 E. 38th Street, May 20th. At 8:00 P.M. Mrs. E. A. Warner, Pres. H. Busy, Sec'y There will be a rummage sale at 1115 S. Central Ave. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 23, 24th and 25th, at unheard of prices. A gift with every purchase of $2.00. MASS MEETING, MAY 25th On Sunday afternoon, May 25th at 2 o'clock at 33rd and Hooper Ave. there will be a great mass meeting sponsored by the East-Side Community Center and the Inter-racial Forum of Pasadena. Besides local talent, there will be public spirited men and women, some among the city and state officials who will contribute to the program. The Interracial Forum of Pasadena will be given adequate time for a rendition of an in- she has two recent victories to her credit. It was the privilege of this "small town girl" to sing in collaboration with the world famous Madam Schumann-Helink, in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo., during the World Christian Endeavor meeting last summer. The other highly commendable things in regard to Miss Stevens is that such is attention attracted by her singing that she is soon to receive a "try-out" at Hollywood, California, with the possibility that she will "break into the movies." This group includes two lyric tenors, Mr. Jesse Freeman who often is styled "The second Roland Hayes," and Mr. P. Harry Feder, a native of Capetown, South Africa, who was brought to this country by Bishop J. A. Gregg. Mr. Freeman makes a very favorable impression wherever he sings, and Mr. Feder has charmed audiences wherever he has been heard. TRADE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT One of the prominent advance features of the administration of President King is the improvement in the trade school department. This department has been improved, made more efficient than it has ever been and fully standardized. The result of this improvement is that now it will receive both State and Federal aid for its support. This is attributable to the work of the new administration, because at the beginning of his tenure of office, Mr. King was denied this very helpful and needful assistance for this department of the work, because of lack of students therein. ATHLETICS Regarding the conduct of the athletic department it might be well to quote, "By their fruits ye shall know them;" for verily they have produced fruits—abundant fruits. I. Foot Ball—Western University has one of the best foot ball teams in the United States, especially among those of our group. No better evidence of efficiency could be given than their victory over the Southern Champions of Waco, Texas, in the great inter-sectional game of January 1, 1930, with a score of 30-0. 2. Basket Ball-The Western University basket ball team has done work equally as commendable as the foot ball team and has made a record of which all are proud, defeating some of the very best teams of the country. One special distinction was that this team was invited to Humansville, Mo. teresting program. Men and women from all walks of life are expected to be present. The working men and women will be represented with speakers. There will be city and state officials present. Suitable arrangements will be made to accommodate from 500 to 1000 persons. UNIQUE BABY SHOWER Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Fitzgerald of 1315 E. 40th street, entertained in their home with a very unique baby shower for their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Asworth Mingleton of 11125 Alabama street, "who will soon be the proud mother and father of a very fine baby," on Sunday afternoon. on Saturday afternoon, April 27, 1930. The expectant mother and father were both greeted by their many friends. From these friends they received the most beautiful and useful presents for the baby which included a very pretty bassinette, given by the hostess, a baby book, sheets, pillows, pillow cases, blankets, robes, comb and brush sets, dresses, caps and many other articles. The father is anxiously waiting to receive a fine boy so that it will not be necessary for another baby shower," smiles. The hostess proved herself to be most charming and delightful to all guests present. A wonderful afternoon was spent in her rhone. Delicious refreshments were served. BASHFUL BABIES' DANCING TEAM The Bashful Babies' club and dancing ensemble of eight Junior High school girls met at the home of Miss Barbara Coleman on Hammond street. Plans were discussed for their dance number in the Crown City Fashion Show; and my how those babies can go. They were so hot they made the snake's hip freeze.

PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN Of the eleven hundred people who visited the opening of the Bob-o-link Golf course on last Saturday, more than seven hundred enjoyed their first fascinating experience at miniature golf. All visitors were given their games free on the opening date and the course was kept constantly in use from 10 o'clock in the morning till midnight. The simplicity of the game and its fascinating difficulties has created much enthusiasm in the few days operation and proves that the game of miniature golf will be a lasting recreation of just a passing fancy. Already interest in the game has reached a point where the patrons of the "Central Course" are talking tournament with trophies as prizes. Tentative entrants from patrons, the Benj. J. Bowie Post, the post office employees, the Silver Fox Club and several other organizations are listed desiring competition. It has been reported by the management that plans are being made to meet the wish of the patrons. Several social clubs have also sent in a request to set a side an hour or more on an established day for their club hour, wherein members will appear in necessary insignas or uniforms of indenification and play in club competition. This matter to be given consideration by Clarence Brooks and Emory V. Crain who are in charge of operation of the course. A weekly award for the highest number of holes in one has already been established by the management. Ladies have been the most consistent patrons on the "Central Course" to date. to dedicate a $150,000 Community Play House, at which time they played one of the best white teams Missouri has ever produced, winning great credit for themselves and their school. The Western University beat the Pine Street team had played Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Louisville and "Big Five" team of Pine Street Y, M. C. A., St. Louis, Mo., 37-33. This so strong was that impression and so great his confidence that at the very beginning of the present administration the Governor secured a special appropriation to be used in the improvement of Ward Hall, and then sent from the State Penitentiary, and without charge, a large force of skilled workmen who made the repairs and improvements. The inspiring leadership, unceasing activity and rugged honesty of Bishop Gregg have done much to encourage the work and to restore confidence in both the quality of the work and the proper conduct of the business affairs of Western University. Because of the facts given it is believed that Western University is entering a period of great prosperity and useful- City's Water Needs Revealed In Official Water Bond Map Map of Mono Basin, Owens River Valley and Los Angeles Aqueduct System showing exactly how Water Bond issue is to be invested. Declaring that every citizen of Los Angeles should be fully formed as to how the $38,800,000 water bond issue is to be invested to solve the city's present water problem, Mayor John C. Porter and the Citizens Water and Power Committee have caused to be prepared a map which presents this information in graphic form. That the $38,800,000 bond issue is the very minimum that could be authorized at this time properly to meet the city's water needs is clearly revealed by studying the map, the Citizens Committee points out. The water investments shown on the map are those that were recommended by Mayor Porter several months ago after he had completed an exhaustive study of the water problem. Each of the investments noted on the map is a link in the Great Chain that is to bind a reliable water supply firmly to Los Angeles, it has been explained by City engineers. To eliminate any one of these links would dangerously weaken or destroy the entire water program, it is stated. Earnings of the City Water Bureau derived from the sale of the water to be secured by the Bond funds will be used to pay all bond charges, the Citizens Committee points out. These bonds will not and according to law, cannot increase taxes or assessments, it is emphasized. Friday, May 16, 1930 THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION Friday, May 16, 1930 The Shame of Texas A blot upon the robes of Liberty! A nauseating taint in Freedom's air! A horrid ogre for the world to see! A coward Jackal, grinning in its Lair! With lust for human blood insatiate It sinks its dripping jangs in Black men's throats; Scorns Justice' temple; fouls the throne of State, Tears down its altars o'er its embers gloats!— * * * * LYNCH LAW! How long, how long, can any nation stand, (BY J. MULKY STEWART) After eight full hours of sweet repose, I was awakened out of a deep slumber at 6 o'clock in the morning by faithful old Sol with its piercing rays of sunlight which had found entrance into my bed chamber through an east window. I came to a sudden realization that it was high time that I was up, and about the business of earning our daily bread. It was a beautiful spring morning, and we gave thanks to the Creator, and unto him expressed our gratitude for the opportunity of being alive, and in possession of, at least a reasonable portion of health and strength. For the moment everything seemed perfectly lovely, even the tedious days work ahead of us was not dreaded in the least; unusually high spirited, indeed. Then, while seated at the breakfast table biting and sipping of toast and coffee, we got our first glance at the daily periodical, and along with the glance comes the first tinge of daily gloom. We can never forget the enlarged words that blazed across the top of the front page "New Texas Race War." Being well versed on every phase of Southern life, we wondered if the Southern black man had actually engaged in War against the Southern white man. Knowing the humble, patient black man of the South as we do, we cannot quite believe what our eyes have seen in print. It was Job who said when demonstrating his faith in God "The ho slay me; yet will I trust Him." Apparently this has been said by the Southern Negro of his white brother for truly he has been slain. So we read the full account of the so-called "Race War" with deep interest. On and on we read, and we were not at all surprised to find that it was not in reality a "Race War," but just as we had first suspected—another jail LYNCHING. Two thousand persons taking part in the BURNING of a lone Negro Imagine 2000 subjects of a great and intelligent nation such as we boast of making jubilation over the cremation of a living soul. We've heard the story about cannibals stewing and eating white men! Knowing very little about the customs of cannibalism, I would not dare make an attempt to verify or refute such a saying. We do believe, however, that if certain cannibal traditions are violated by white men, there would be some sort of a penalty to pay if such a penalty should be the roasting of alive souls, then it is due to cannibal ignorance, and if our Wontoful Government should stand by and fail to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law the scores of guilty ones participating in roasting an alive soul. It proves that cannibal ignorance DOES NOT outweigh American ignorance, but the two have an equal amount of intelligence. One of the Nation's foremost dailies has severely criticised Mr. Hoover for not having faith in the American public to govern our country, Mr. Hoover appointed a committee to make an investigation in 'Haitian difficulties' and it seems to our feeble mind that there should be a strong committee appointed to make an investigation into this terrible, thing that happened down in Sherman, Texas; so that some prosecutions may be brought about. If this is not done, the Head of our Nation should be due for more criticism. We see that Mr. Hoover has planned a summer tour of the National Parks, and enjoy America's most beautiful scenery, and if he wishes to mix in a few horrible sights, we would suggest that he visit Sherman, Texas and view the handwork of that city's children. It is about time that the old 'Unavoidable Lynching' Alibi is crushed to death. National Guardsmen with instruc- tions NOT to shoot were dispatched to the town of Sherman and described Giford best be Pinchof as STERN faced men. An awful lot of 600 stern faces would do in handling 2000 hoodlums raging for the smell of burnt human flesh. We are staying up nights trying to figure out why Governor Dan Moody sent our men of protection to the firing line with no intention of having them take part in the firing. It is surprising to know that some of the members of our own race are quick to criticise the Negro press, and give our weeklies the title of agitators because we make an effort to get a square deal. We pity the man who has not the courage to help us stand on our own feet. The Negro press is the Negroes' Main Weapon of defense; and Win. Lose or Draw; we expect to fight and fight hard as long as we are fighting for the things that we justly deserve. We sincerely believe that all offenders of the law should be fairly dealt with by the law, and not by an angry mob. Negro Takes Sides In Bitter Political Fight in Pennsylvania By: A. N. P. PHILADELPHIA, May 14—The eyes of the country are on Pennsylvania. There is being staged there one of the most bitter primary fights ever known in the history of the Keystone State. Since the death of Senator Boies Penrose there has not been any definite leadership. The machine Quay inherited from the Camerons; and of which Penrose became the legatee, was torn asunder by the fights of the smaller fry leaders who could not carry on. Penrose was so much the embodiment of the machine that he left no political heirs. The fight is centered around a number of candidates for office. the principal offices at stake being the governorship and the United States senatorship. For the gubernatorial office there are four candidates running in the United States senatorship. Francis Shunk Brown, a former attorney-general of the state, is the Vare candidate. Mr. Brown is a Philadelphiaian. He went to that city years ago from lower Delaware where he was an ardent Democrat. As a matter of fact he was presidential elector in Philadelphia for the Bryan-Stevenson ticket. Being ambitious he forsook his Democratic learnings and became the attorney of the Vare machine which he has served with such fidelity that he became a part of it and has for several years exerted considerable influence with it. As a matter of fact Brown has a son who is a judge of one of the courts of Philadelphia. His former law partner Alexander Simpson is a member of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. This is considerable influence for a Democrat of a few years back to exert in a so strongly Republican state such as Pennsylvania. Mr. Brown is said not to be very friendly to the colored people. About a week or more ago when a woman's organization invited all of the candidates to appear before it and address its members. Mr. Brown is reported to have said he would not speak from the same platform with a Negro. There is a colored man by the name of Mr. Harben, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of the Keystone State. Brown has denied that he was unwilling to appear with a Negro. The wet and dry question is an issue in this primary fight. Mr. Brown is neither wet nor dry and by reason of that straddle he is unsatisfactory to either wing of the Republican party. Then there is a candidate for governor by the name of Thomas W. Phillips, a former congressman from Newcastle. Pa. Mr. Phillips is gripping wet and doesn't care who knows it. Owing to his wet proclivities he is drawing strongly from the Brown vote. Brown will suffer the loss of thousands of wet votes in Philadelphia. Allegheny and the coal region counties, because of straddling the wet issue. The other candidate for governor is Gifford Pinchot. He was elected in 1922 after a hard-fought primary fight in which he defeated George E. Alter. a former attorney-general of Pennsylvania. Mr. Alter was questioned by a southern United States senator about the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and Alter wrote a letter to the senator saying that the enactment of he Dyer Bill would be worse than the crime of lynching. This statement aroused the ire of the colored voters of Pennsylvania and they helped to defeat him for the nomination and supported Gifford Pinchot. Of all the candidates in the field, Gifford Pinchot is far and ahead the best bet for the colored people. Mr. Pinchot is able, approachable, and be If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNJA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened HON. HUEY P. LONG Governor of Louisiana, Ocado, President of Inc., of Los Angeles, In New Orleans, Lo of Louisiana, Greeting Dr. Hilario Camino Mon President of Filipino Federation of America of Los Angeles, in Front of the Roosevelt Hotel in Orleans, Louisiana. Governor of Louisiana, Greeting Dr. Hilario Camino Moncado, President of Filipino Federation of America, Inc., of Los Angeles, in Front of the Roosevelt Hotel In New Orleans, Louisiana. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF AMERICA Filipino Race riots, Filipinos in different states of the United States, their laboring activities, and protection status under the laws of the United States Government were voluminally stated at an Immigration hearing held in Washington. D. C., by Congressman Albert Johnson, Chairman of the House Committee. Dr. Hilario Comino Moncado, nationally known Filipino leader and president of the Filipino Federation of America. Inc. with headquarters in Los Angeles, was one f the principal speakers at this hearing. The Immigration bill restricting Filipino immigration was lieves in a square deal for all. When he was governor he did more in the matter of according recognition to the colored people than any previous governor of Pennsylvania. He opened up places they had never before held. He named Edward W. Henry as magistrate in Philadelphia when strong pressure was brought to bear on him to appoint a white woman. He named Charles Fred White, boxing commissioner, at a salary of $5,000 per annum; Ernest Atwell as trustee of Eastern Penitentiary, and he named William Payne magistrate of Quakertown. Bucks County, Excepting in the case of Magistrate Henry these places had never been filled by members of the race Governor. Pinchot also saw that anti-lynching bill was enacted by the legislature of Pennsylvania. From all indications there will be a grand rally of the colored voters to the Pinchot standard because they know he will maintain his principles of a square deal for all. Mr. Pinchot is dry, but even at that there are a number of those who are not dry who know his record was so exceptional when he was governor before that they will support him. Labor, organized and un-organized, the farmer, and men and women in all walks of life will support Gifford Pinchot, because he believes and exemplified honesty and efficiency. The fight between James J. Davis, Francis H. Bohlen and Joseph R. Grundy for the senatorship is being bitterly contended. Davis is running with Brown, who is straddling the liquor question. Bohlen is distinctly wet and is running with Philips, the wet candidate, for governor, and Grundy believes in law enforcement. From present indications Grundy is the stronger of the three. [9] ```markdown ``` defeated. Dr. Moneado vigorously maintained that it would be illegal, un moral and against international law for the United States Government to restrict immigration of Filipinos until independence of the Phillipine Island was declared. On his homeward trip. Dr. Moneado stopped over in New Orleans, Louisiana where he established a branch of his organization and was greeted by Hon. Huey P. Long, Governor of Louisiana in front of the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans. He was also a guest of the Filipino Club of New Orleans. senatorial candidates with the colored voters, not that he has ever done anything for them, but they believe he may. The primaries will be held May 20. In the meantime, Pennsylvania will be in a political ferment. NAMES OF THINGS NAMES OF THINGS (By CARL ECHOLS) We humans are such tradition loving creatures. A four-legged thing goes by the caption of — dog, and for no obvious reason than predecessors chose to call the canine by that title. I revolt against such weak-willed imitation! I am tempted to label things as I please to and not by an arbitrary mandate of some primitive lexicographer. After all, what's in a name? Listen here. Did Noah bequeath to us the multiplicity of names? or was it an earlier than he? Whoever the person was I think that I could have done a better job. For example, consider the lowly chimpanzee. Would it not have been just as well to call this anthropoid man as it was to name it monkey? I think we. We could have called men monkeys and monkeys men without changing the nature of the said bipeds. O this world is all wrong as regards the names of things! Another example, reader. Why on earth do we call such a huge thing that grows on a small vine a pumpkin, and such a small thing that grows on a large tree an acorn? Their names should be reversed. It's much more logical to speak of (big) pumpkins growing on (big) trees and (small) acorns growing on (small) Out of Hospital We are glad to state the managing editor of this publication is convelessing at undergoing a minor operation at the Dunbar Hospital. She returned to her home Thursday. This paper comes forth this week without the presence of either of our chiefs presence.

And too, there are those dashed geometric figures—circles, squares, and such. Why not call a circle a square? (its circularness would remain the same.) Then mathematicians would not be confronted with the age-old problem of "squaring the circle." It would be square already. If furthermore, squares were called circles theologians would cease their feuds resultant as to whether the world of Genesis had four corners, and so forth. But this remaining of things is admittedly a huge task. After all, I suppose names as applied to things are good enough. Think of all the relearning I would have to undergo were we to change the names of things. Besides, 'tain't necessary, it is? By: A. N. P. NASHVILLE, TENN. May 14—Prominent citizens from all sections of the country were attracted here during the past week to attend the annual Fisk Festival of Music and Fine Arts, which opened, at Fisk University Thursday morning. Among those who attended the notable event were Leo Mielzner, noted portrait painter, Dr. John Erskine, widely known author and college professor, Dr. Augustus T. Murray, former member of the Leland-Stanford University faculty and now pastor of the Church of the Society of Friends of which President Hoover is a member, and Mr. Mannes, famous violinist. The exercises were rivalled only by th laying of th corner stone of the new $250,000 library building. Saturday morning a gift front the General Education Board. Speaking of the festival the Nashville Banner said: "The second annual Festival of Music and Fine Arts in progress at Fisk University emphasizes both the comprehensive character of the work of that institution and the progress and possibilities of the Negro race in the cultural domain, which the occasion accentuates. "Hundreds of alumni of the university will be present. Poets and Artists of national note will be on the program and the pastor of President Hoover church in Washington, a representative of the President on this occasion, will be among the visitors. A feature of notable significance connected with this gathering will be the laying of the corner stone of the $250,000 library building on the campus. "The trustees and management of Fisk University are placing the institution in touch with those influences that promise much for the development of the race in making its scope of education well rounded and in stimulating the spiritual forces that underly the culture of music and art. The musical gift, in particular, is a racial inheritance, which should receive intelligent and serious attention from educators and the results attendant upon study of the fine arts, undoubtedly, will be amply justified. "The four-day program at Fisk now in progress has a significance which the people of the South view with interest and in earnest hope that its highly commendable purposes may be abundantly accomplished."

Petersburg, Va., May 14.—Immediate relief from the overcrowded condition of schools here for Negroes, is one of the urgent needs here, according to the statement of H. G. Ellis, superintendent of schools. An eight-room school building is badly needed while the teaching staff and operating costs must be increased to a minimum of $8,300 a year while $11,600 is really needed to maintain the schools at their present standard PRIARIE VIEW STUDENT HONORED BY GREAT UNIVERSITY Priarie View, Texas, May 14. Official news has just been received that Miss. Vera Mae Clement of the Class of 1930 has been appointed to a graduate scholarship at the University of Cincinnati. The official statement made known the fact that Miss Clement was a successful candidate out of a very large number of applications from all, over the country. The young scholar is a native of Paris, Texas. She has been an honor student during her whole course. NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Dr' Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU. 3419 or VA. 1221. Many times about 10-15 minute after taking food one feels a burning sensation in the chest. This has nothing to do with the heart, but is due rather to some disturbance in the stomach or bowels or in the digestive juices of either. As this is often characterized by an increase in the acidity or acid reaction of the digestive juices, frequently it may be relieved by taking one-half teaspoonful of baking soda in water. This however is only an emergency relief measure. It does not cure and does not remove the cause, and soda is unnatural to the stomach and intestines when used frequently, therefore it is very necessary to use soda only as an emergency measure and then to go as soon as possible to a good physician and have a thorough examination to determine the cause of your stomach trouble. Cancer of the stomach often begins as a simple digestive disturbance. Ulcer of the stomach often does likewise. Thus you can see the grave danger of simply drinking soda water or using any other relief measure to take away the discomfort when your vital organs may be being consumed. The thing to do is to get at the actual cause and then to intelligently seek to remove it. This can be done only by having an up-to-date physician who will insist on giving all stubborn cases of digestive disturbances a complete examination including X-ray and an analysis of the stomach contents. CRAMPS IN THE STOMACH This condition may come from a multitude of causes; from the most simple disorder to the most grave disease condition to which humanity is heir. In the feminin gender menstrual disorder, organ or uterine trouble may all cause cramps. In both sexes apenphits colitis, and a multitude or other conditions may be at the root of things. In any event the thing to do is this realize that the condition may be grave or possibly if may not be, take a warm enema of I quart of water to which has been added a tablespoon-full of baking soda. If this does not give relief go to bed. Put a hot water bottle to the feet and cover up well and SEND FOR THE DOCTOR. It is very dangerous to guess about severe cramps in the stomach, as by so doing we often wait until a grave condition occurs in which we call the doctor, only to find that our efforts were too late. The appendix may have ruptured the bowel may have became gangrenous or any number of grave or total results may have set in. When one attack of appendicitis is "cured" do not consider the danger over, for a diseased appendix, may at any time light up and cause death within a few hours. So thus you can see that in no instance is it safe to temperize with appendicitis; for it is one condition in which years of sad experience has taught the medical Profession that there is only one kind of treatment and that treatment is getting the treacherous appendix out of your body as soon as it is possible after it first makes known the fact that it is diseased; that is as soon as passible after the first attack.

Growing enthusiasm has attended the activities of the various clubs through these weeks. Sunday this enthusiasm reached its zenith, and $895.76 was laid on the altar for the work of the Lord. Mrs. Minnie Howard, captain of the Majestic club with Rufus Mason as her lieutenant, piloted her club to victory and first place $190.00. The second place was won by Mrs. Rubie. Mouldle and the Brunswick club with Mrs. Gussie Clark as lieutenant. They reported $163.50. The third place was won by the Victor club, Mrs. Irene Hinds, captain, Mrs. Addie Richie, lieutenant. They reported $126.00. The Lyric club, Mrs. Sarah Hurd, captain; Mr. G. W. Clay, lieutenant, reported $105.00. The Radiola club, Mrs. Gertrude Grayson, captain and Mrs. Emma Brashears, lieutenant, reported $102.02. The Edison club, Mrs. Minnie, Lopez, captain and Joe Wilhoite, lieutenant, reported $62.75. The Atwater Kent club, Mrs. O. M. Clarke, captain and Jas P. Geary, lieutenant, reported $41.46. The Officers of the church reported $15.00, making a grand total of $865.75. We have been able under God and the very fine cooperation of the organizations of this church to pay $1062.00 on the general indebtedness of the church since the coming to the pastorate of Carter Memorial church of the Rev. John W. Wright, who has caught the reins of his worthy predecessor, Rev. Fred A. Hughes, and is guiding the forces of Methodism in this city to ultimate success. Sermons were preached on Sunday by Rey. L. S. Goolsby of Tulare, who spoke at the afternoon meeting and the Pastor, who spoke at the morning and evening services. More Former Slaves Living Than Masters BIRMINGHAM, ALA. May 5—That there are more "former slaves" living than "former masters" was the opinion expressed here by Simon Phillips, president of the Alabama ex-Slave Association, upon his return home from an extended tour of the State on which he "looked up" former slaves and masters. Mr. Phillips further declared that he found two former slaves who had reached the age of 104 years and who were yet hale and hearty and able "to move under their own power." Another tour will be staged within the next two months according to the statement of the president. ON THE SIDEWALK (Continued from page 1) later by a colored advocate of the bonds who offered us $50 a week for speech making in behalf of the bonds. We told this gentleman that we had already agreed to do this line of work for the company but not with any understanding that we were to be paid; and we wish to state here and now that what speaking, we did in behalf of the $38,800,000 water bond passage was done freely and of our own volition because we believe that the future prosperity of our city depends largely upon the passage of this water bond, and we hope that every colored resident of Los Angeles will prove that his thought slant is right by voting right on the bonds. ```markdown ``` Are you in a rut?

Twelve great men of our group permitted their names to be used as sponsors for our banquet which was a great innovation served at five dollars per plate. These twelve men represented all phases of civic, commercial and religious life, while not one was a member of our church. We had with us one night the matchless choir of the First Baptist Church. It was the first time that we did not have sufficient seats for a choir, and the music they rendered that night was beyond description. Dr. John Snape the brilliant pastor of the Temple Baptist Church graced our pulpit and gave a marvelous address, and on that same evening we were visited by a choir of not less than sixty voices from the Vermon Awd. Methodist Church. Really we have only begun to mention names and we cannot tell them all. Those of us who were there will long remember that night when Dr. J.D. Gordon backed by his choir, supported by his ushers, nd witnessed by many of his people, gave us a thrilling gospel message and brought about a feeling of fellowship among his people and ours. Second Baptist Church Doings Nor can we forget Dr. Burkhalter's sermon, and the singing of Beth-Eden's choir; the great sister church night when Dr. W. D. Carter, Rev. A. T. Hines and First Furlong's Ushers and Rev. J. C. Spencer were present; nor can we forget the great Interdinominational night when Dr. I. A. Moore presided. Dr. A. P.

Financially it was a success rivalling if not supassing the Dedication time when thousands thronged our gates every passing night.

Heading the list of these great personages was California's great governor, Hon. C. C. Young. He was present at the banquet given by the Laymen's League and made an illuminating, address before a mass meeting covering six phases of social and humanitarian uplift which was enacted into law.

St. Paul, and Macedonia Churches reported excellent services. Dr. L. M. Curtis commented very favorably on a doctrinal sermon delivered at his Church by Dr. W. R. Venerable. The Rev. Mr James who was to have addressed the Union, politely refrained, and suggested the name of Dr. Branham, the personal representative of Dr. L. K. Williams, President of the National Baptist Convention, now on a visit here, boosting the work of the approaching Jubilee Convention to be held in Chicago. Dr. Branham as the honored guest of the Ministers Union, will be given an outing on Wednesday, and entertained at a banquet at the Venice Baptist Church Rev. Mr. Miller. Pastor at 1 P.

Dr. H. D. Prowd the only living ex-pastor gave a wonderful message last Sunday morning. The following persons have been members of the church for more than forty three years: Bro. Geo. Bright, Bro. D. Brumson, Sister Bedney, Sister Nunnell and Sister Byram. The church looks thankfully to the past and prayerfully and hopefully to the future. You are heartily welcome to the Second Baptist Church at any time. Weekly Events At The Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church For the past few weeks, Phillip Temple, has been fairly bubbling over with enthusiasm and all indication point to the continuance of this enthusiastic spirit. At present our pastor, Rev N. H. Humphreys is attending genera conference at Louisville, Ky., but we are carrying on very successfully during his absence. Boards number one and two chose indeed wisely in selecting Rev. Mrs. Blake to deliver God's message on Mother's day. Mrs. Blake is an Evangelist and has the distinction of being one of the few women preachers connected with the C. M. E. Conference. Mrs. Blake is well qualified to speak on any occasion but having the honor of mothering ten children of her own, places her in a position to know every angle of motherhood and truly capable of delivering a mother's day sermon. Her sermon was without fault it was one that made you think that you were unusually repentent and you wondered if you were alone in almost breaking down under the barrage of spiritual phrases that plowed so freely from the lips of the one who stood boldly before you and delivered the word of God. But one glance over the crowded room and you beheld, univering hands dabbling at moistened eyes, and you heard occasional sniffing sounds of joyful weeping then you knew that you were not alone in your remorsefulness and you realized that the compterer that Jesus had spoken of was present at that very moment. The Los Angeles Association of Social Clubs, composed of the Beau-Brummel, Lone Wolf, and Silver Fox Clubs, was well represented at our morning services, and we take this opportunity to welcome these young men to visit with us as often as they choose. Next Sunday May 18th the twin sisters, Bertha Learnda will preach for us at Eleven A. M. and Three P. M. under the auspices of the ushers board and the Willing Workers. Visitors are always welcome at Phillips Temple. A sick entertainment is to be given at the parsonage Friday evening. May 16 this is something different and is sponsored by the Willing Workers of which Mrs. G. N. Hodges is pres. Can You Answer These?

Bass, Editor California Eagle 847 Central Ave. Dear Mr. Bass In regard to an article in the May 9th Issue of the California Eagle, with headlines in bolt type that "U. S. C. Dental School Won't Serve Negro", and a very eloquent but mostly-er- roneous editorial also headed by the bold statement that, "Adding Jim Crow to the Curriculum at U. S. C." merely shows that someone was a little too hasty in rushing into print a situation about which all the details were not first ascertained. I am fifty per cent for Mr. James C. Talaman, patient No. 52450, as he calls himself, and believe that he should receive full justice and consideration and I most certainly know that he would have received the same if his case had been presented to Dean Ford and not to "a Lady Superintendent" an office which a lacy does not hold in the College of Dentistry. If you would give me the privilege, I could fill your entire paper with good deeds that have been dispensed to the Negro race by the "swivel chair higher ups" as you called them in your editorial, and could name many "scientific" men who head the school that have opened avenues of study and research which can only be obtained in few Universities of its kind in the country. The spirit of "Fight on for U. S. C." prompts me to say these things, and I feel that more will be added to my statement by other loyal graduates of U. S. C. College of Dentistry. Signed—C.A. BRADFORD J.D. S.) '28 One will find no more prejudice in the Dental Clinic at U. S. C. than they will find elsewhere. I can say from experience as a student and a graduate of this institution, that it is not the policy of the administration to encourage or tolerate prejudiced principles. U. S. C. Dental Clinic is primarily for the benefit of the Student, and not for the patient. If the patient has work that a student does not need, the college does not require that student to work upon said patient. You will find as many white patients, (in proportion) turned down in this respect as there are colored at this same clinic. Signed:—H.S. THOMPSON (D. D. S.)22 You have given to the public in your paper, personal opinion of conditions you knew absolutely nothing about. We, as alumni of that institution, would have been very much pleased to have informed you of certain things that would have enabled you to express yourself a bit more intelligently. If it had not been for the "swivel chair higher ups" (Dr. Ford, who is Dean), as you termed him, I would not at the present time be enjoying the fruits of my profession. There can be found nowhere a finer or more sympathetic group of "higher ups" than are found at this College. The few prejudiced students and employees at U. S. C. assuming there are some are acting on their own free will and not because of anyone in authority tells them to do so. Dr. Ford, the Dean, Dr. La Touche, the Assistant Dean, have certainly proved to be friends of the Negro students who have entered U. S. C. as well as their patients. DR. N. A. FEARONCE There will always be disgruntled patients in every practice both private and clinical, but I do not understand how you can viciously attack the Dental College and yet ignore the Medical School which will not even admit U. S. C. Liberal Arts Negro graduates. The Dental College is one of the most liberal and fair departments of the whole University to all groups and to both students and patients, which is solely due to Dr. Ford and his staff. HUGH A. BELL D. D. S. 24 Mr. Talmon neglected to state his belligerent attitude toward the colored student (his self) when approached, conveying the impression that he did not care to have his work done by a colored student. I tried to help him all I could but he seemed to resent it. Last year when the Negro Dental Association met here, Dr. Foro ghady opened to college for their free use, also presenting the convention with practical and motion picture clinics. Just another expression of the college's disposition toward our group. CHARLES ENNIS'30 WM. K. BLACKBURN TERRIFIC WIND: STORM The cause of rain is from terrifying winds absorbing the moisture from the ground; the streams, the leaves of plants and ascending to great heights forming clouds, which turn into rain. This indeed seems very strange but nevertheless true. ALCHOLISM In the last decade 30,000 people died from crinkling liquor since prohibition. Before prohibition that number would have been about double which proves that prohibition has decreased the mortality rate. Ethyl alcohol causes the demise. WATER SNAILS Do you think that a snail can walk on one foot. Certainly, by means of gasteropods which in Greek gaster means stomach and pod is a form of the word pous which means foot. Muscular contraction is how they walk on one foot. TAXATION I think the government will enact a measure whereby they will be able to pull surpluses instead of deficits out of their tax economy program. A one percent tax decrease below the 1928 revenue act is probable. NAVAL LIMITATION Great Britan. Japan and United States have just recently signed a Treaty in London for naval limitations with France and Italy agreeing only in part to certain naval specifications. This I am sure will bring about a better understanding between the three great powers which will have a bearing on international accord. All three powers have decided to scrap a number of their battleships and are specifically limited in number of cruisers, destroyers and mariners. COL. LINDENBERG Recently made a flight from Los Angeles to New York in 4 hours and 46 minutes and 52 seconds which somewhat surpasses in time the transcontinental trip made by his rival, Capt. Frank M.

The small wages offered in many cases, prevented the placements from being equal to the number of persons applied for. This is due evidently to an over supply of labor. This office placed during the first month of its operation, 45 persons, and during the second month, 93 more than double the first month. While this increase is due in some measure to the fact that the office is becoming better known, there are unmistakable signs of better employment conditions. NO COLOR LINE UNDER- GROUND By: A. N. P.

"TEX" RICKARD (above) widow of the famous boxing promoter is as great a golf enthusiast as her husband was in the ring game. FORCED TO SURRENDER ...NEW YORK. May 14—With fame comes trouble, says "Jazzlips" Richardson, who sky-racked to stardom under the auspices of Immerman's "Hot Chocolates." After winning Broadway with his clever performances, Richardson deserted Immerman for the Publix Theatres Corporation, signing a contract in which his pay was set at $800 per week for a fifteen week appearance beginning in a New England house. Immerman claimed that Richardson was under contract to him at $400 per week and that the star had not fulfilled his part of the document. As a result, the court hearing the case ruled in favor of Immerman, and Mr. Richardson must forego his nice, fat juicy contract with Publix. THE BOXING CLUB When Young Jack Thompson (above) returned from knocking out Joe Dundee over a year ago, the Eagle Sports Editor placed a gorgeous crown on his head out at White Sox Park. Amid the cheers of the thousands there he prophesied that Jack would soon have the crown to keep. Last Friday he won it fairly, decisively, permanently.

This is because they store quarts of water in the chamber like structures which lead into the interior of the stomach Thompson, First Colored Welter Champ In 29 Years Without any race friction, with cheers for the black boy and boos for the white one, and with the title going into the safe hands of a willing defender and a cleancut gentleman. Young Jack Thompson our home boy won the welter weight championship of the world at Detroit, Michigan last Friday night. In one of the most startling upsets in years, Thompson. with the heart of a lion and the boxing skill of a Joe Gans, decisively defeated Jackie Fields the titleholder. in a blistering 15-round battle in the Olympia Arena. After the last punch, Elmer ("Slim") McCleland, the referee, unhesitatingly raised the contender's hand in victory. The crowd of 15,000 roared its approval. Fields champion of less than a year, buried his head in his hands as he sat in his corner crushed in defeat, and cried like a baby. It was the first time that he had defended the title since he won it July 25 last year. when he defeated the toottering Joe Dundee on a foul in two rounds. Thompson, the new champion, is the first Negro to win the world's welterweight title in twenty-nine years, since Joe Walcott won the honor from Rube Ferns by knocking him out in five rounds in Ft. Erie. Ont., in 1901. Taking ten out of fifteen with Although Mr. Chas. Butler, highly valued employee of Central Easting Bureau does his best to distribute the jobs to colored extras fairly and impartially, from time to time grouches and agitators take, various, steps to knock and discredit him. They even occasionally attempt to have his employers discharge him. Among the attacks are unsigned or anonymous letters, the writers taking this means to express their thoughts without revealing their identity. Below is one which for misspelled words and abuse of the King's English takes the furlined bath-tub, showing the average intelligence of persons who employ such underhand methods of revenge for imagined slights. The letter follows as is: los angeles may 9, 1936 mr. butler, dear, sir I wonder why you do not act square with people who act square with you you have a certain bunch you call all the time, why do you act so rotten you have people who are, hungry and you dont even give them a chanch and, studia woulden have so much trouble if you would act-square but dont, you have your pets and dont pick for talent you pick pets you could be lots service to people who trust you if you was only square but you, far from it, now sir you have a wife and your day will, will surly come as god is just and not like you we intend to call mr allent atten- enion to you injust, wans think it over carefully and look in your glass, and say am a potten dirty guy, sooner or latter you, get yours and dont forget that, you beout of work, and out, some day and that all HARLEM HIGHWAYS NEW YORK—A stroll on Seventh Avenue will reveal many men carry brief cases. This isn't unusual, but an investigation will prove that the majority of the "brief case carriers" are firm in the belief that they are singers and the cases contain their hooks and other singing paraphnia. This brings to light a startling condition existing in New York. Of the hundreds of persons afflicted with a desire to sing, about one per cent ever achieve any degree of success. The statements read in so many white papers are responsible for this condition, that is that the "Negro is naturally musically inclined." This may be true but every man who thinks he can yodel sufficiently to entice gold out of blaze New York is not an artist and soon finds that the beautifully painted prospect of fame and fortune is not what it is cracked up to be. It would not be half so bad were it not for the fact that many hard-working men are misled by white instructors who have "studios" down town near Carnegie Hall, many in fact being in that shrine of music. As soon as a colored man, or woman either, for that matter, can make a high note, his or her friends advise them to have their voices cultivated. Fields almost out. Jack made the last one his best. Here it is for a souvenir. Round Fifteen Thompson chased Fields all over the ring, throwing punches to the head and body. The Negro boxed skillfully, blocking Fields' return. Fields made a gallant effort to stage a winning rally by carrying the fight to Thompson, ripping punches to the head and body. Fields hooked two lefts to the head and crowded Thompson into the ropes but Thompson fought back, guarding his punches to the body. They went from one side of the ring to the other both whaling away to the body. The champion was dead tired, but dead game in his bulldog attempt to turn the tide. As the fight ended, he was feebly piling into Thompson. BUDDY IS JUST BACK FROM AUSTRALIA WHERE HE WHIPPED EVERY WELTER WHO WOULD FIGHT HIM AND A DOUBLE OF MIDDLE HEIGHTS. THERE ARE ONLY THREE FIGHTERS WHO HAVE LEFT THAT COUNTRY UNBEFEATED Sack Robinson WAS FIRST AND HE WAS A WORLD CHAMPION Eugene GARBON WAS MOST AND WE WOULD A WORLD TITLE TOO BUDDY IS THE ONLY FIGHTER WHO WANTS WHAT ABOUT IT Buddy Saumers Tom Rumel Jackie Fields beat several good colored boys before losing his title to one, the present champion Jack Thompson. A year and a half ago he stopped Buddy Saunders at the Olympic when at his best. This they can do, only by visiting some white teacher downtown. Off the prospect trots for an audition, and the teacher has another sucker." They work heard during the day to maintain body and soul and finally reach the point where they can pay five dollars a lesson to the white instructors, most of whom bill themselves as "formerly of the Metropolitan" Opera or some foreign opera house inaccessible for investigation. Many who say they are formerly of the New York institutions were members of the shows years and years ago. befs of the chooses years and years ago. Two striking examples of this "hoodwinking" serve to show how impossible some of these instructors and pupils are: Sometime ago, a newspaper man was approached by one of these singers to handle his publicity for a coming concert to be held in a downtown music hall. The newspaper man alive to the situation, consented for a stipulation, to do the necessary work. By dint of hard work, he got notices in all of the white callies and the big Sunday papers which cater to the music lovers of New York. The colored papers carried "rave" notices concerning this artist's work. Finally the dap dit the concert arrived, and the hall where the recital was to be held was well-filled with white and colored patrons who had paid from one to three dollars for seats. Billed as a "lyric tenor, newly discovered and under the tutelage of a noted white woman, this chap was going to turn the music world upside down in this concert. When he arose to sing, so pitiful were his efforts, the audience didn't realize it was listening to the great "lyric tenor." Needless to say, the newspaper men who, handled the publicity for the concert chagrinned. The next day, the papers carried not a line on the concert, although each had representatives present. That, at least was charitable. Yet, the poor chap continued taking lessons from his white teacher, spending at least ten dollars a week. He is only one of the army going in for this stuff. Another case of imposition, this time, failing, was that the teacher, an antiquated white woman, who sought to establish a school in Harlem. She had a new method of singing which would revolutionize teaching. This lady claimed that the secret in her method was in "proper breathing!" she would teach students to breathe correctly for the sum of five dollars per lesson. Well, she didn't get very far. Her studio didn't do any business at all. But the pity of it is that the coloreen students continue to go to these white teachers when there are a number of competent colored teachers starving to death in Harlem. GRIFFIN-GA. May 14—Mrs Kate Gaston died at the Mount Zion Baptist Church from strangulation when she swallowed her false teeth while singing. Carlo Curtis is coming out with an attractive main event at White Sox park May 24. The "boy promoter" of Main Street has signed Jack McVey, topnotch colored middleweight of New York to meet Joe Peregrini in the 10-round main event. Today Curtis was cut with its usual "hustle," lining up the rest of the bill. McVey has never appeared here, but he is a nationally known middle-weight who rates with the best. Recently the Bronx star stopped off at San Francisco and handed pastings to Wesley Ketchel and Joe Roche, two favorites of Bay City fans. Peregrini evidently has lost none of his box office magic among the Mexicans! He recently was outpointed by Bert Colina at the Olympic, but many of Joe's followers refuse, to admit that Colina is the better man. Hudkins and Dave Shade At Olympic May 27 Hudkins and Dave Shade At Olympic May 27 With next Tuesday's main event at the Olympic still undecided as we go to press, Benny Miller, who bids fair to rise into a main event kayo sensation, may be given the top spot.
