FIEND ATTACKS YOUNG GIRL WITH KNIFE
Attorney Clarence C. Jones brought to light the fact that $425 taxes and $1,000 back installments are due at the present time which must be paid to avert a foreclosure proceedings.
Attorney Tyler questioned the defendant in regard to a vacant lot in Oakland on which a value of $300 was placed. He also asked Mr. Conner if he owned a house in Watts, to which the defendant replied in the negative, stating that this property belonged to the firm.
Attorney Jones questioned Mrs. Conner in regard to her expence which she read from a memorandum. This account listed such items as gas, electric light and other incidentals totaling an amount of $184.00. A verbal clash between the two notable attorneys resulted when the maid's salary was mentioned, attorney Jones contending that it was unnecessary extravagance in Mrs. Conner maintaining a maid for the pleasure of one lone occupant. Attorney Tyler objected, and was sustained by the court.
Attorney Jones hurled the accusation at Mrs. Conner that she hired a different attorney every time the case came up and that she hired and fired attorneys at will. Attorney Tyler objected and was sustained by the court. The court then asked Mrs. Conner if she still chose to remain in her pretentious home with a threatened foreclosure hanging over it and she replied in the affirmative. Property on Glassel street was brought in the record which Mrs. Conner stated she received $34.00 a month from in Mr. Conner's statement of expenses, doctor's fees amounting to hundreds of dollars were listed. One bill of $660 to Dr. Pearl and others ranging from $460 to $500 in medical fees were still outstanding. He further
GENERAL EDUCATIONAL
BOARD DONATES $5.000
TO KY. NORMAL SCHOOL
Bv: A. N. P.
Louisville. Ky. May 20—President
R. B. Atwood of the Kentucky Normal
and Industrial College announced
this week the gift of $5,000 from the
General Educational Board at New
York City. A like sum was appropriated
by the last entucky General
Assembly. This is the first time that
this educational board has even given
a Kentucky College so large an
amount.
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, said unto me, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, have examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things whereof ye acuse him.
St. Luke XXIII 13, 14.
THE SCANDAL OF A
NATION
WHEN PILATE told the mob to take Jesus and do as it pleased with him, because finding no fault in him, he, Pilate, desired to wash his hands from any connection with the crime. He demonstrated a spineless official of his day and time.
GOVERNOR DAN Moody, repuded to be one of the best governors Texas has ever had, is excusing his part in the lynching and burning of George Hughes by classing the lynching as legal murder, stipulating that Hughes was guilty of the charges brought against him, when as a matter of fact, Governor Moody knows full well that the first witness for the prosecution in the Hughes' case was interrupted and word was passed around that there was no evidence against the Negro. Judge Carter stopped the trial and proposed a change of venue, then it was that the mob made its attack, in which it is alleged to police officers, deputies and Texas rangers participated.
THIS MATTER of lynch rule, as practiced by certain states, designated as the southern division of our country, has reached such a serious state that it has become a matter that should claim the most serious attention of our nation.
WILL THE 16,000,000 black people of our country always remain loyal to the Stars and Stripes, if the Old Glory for which Carney bled and died before he would suffer it to touch the ground, continue to wave over the charred remains of a man who pays the lynch' law toll, simply because he is black?

THE TIRELESS fight made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the people of Richmond, Va., was rewarded in the highest tribunal of the nation this week—here justice was sought and received.
Race Separation Ordinance Void
Washington. May 19. (AP) The Supreme Court today affirmed the decision of the lower Federal courts holding invalid an ordinance of Richmond, Va., aimed at the segregation of races by prohibiting Negroes from occupying houses in white neighborhoods.
THE SUPREME court is cognizant of the fact that these segregated districts furnish prey for such mobs as the one at Sherman, Texas, which even after it had baked Hughes in the $60,000 county court house inferno, could only finish appeasing its wrath by burning seventeen of the reputable business houses, such as Odd Fellows' Hall, drug store, hotel, cafes, barber shops, etc. in the Negro district. And who among us has forgotten the Tulsa disgrace.

Divorce Suit Dwindles Undertaker's Fortune
(BY CHAS. L. UPTON)
In Department 9 of the Superior Court last Monday, May 19th, before a crowded chamber of curious spectators, it was brought to light during the cross examination of the defendant in the divorce proceedings of Charles D. Conner vs. Nellie V. Conner, that the purported fortune of one hundred thousand dollars presumably possessed by the defendant, Charles D. Conner, well known mortician, had dwindled to a meager salary of $225.00 a month, while the defendant's sole claim to the business in connection with his name consisted of one lone share and an automobile instead of thirty-four shares formerly owned by him.
Mr. Conner, under cross examination by the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Willis O. Tyler, stated that the bulk of shares he formerly owned had been transferred to a Mr. Griffin, a stockholder in the company.
A low murmur was audible then the courtroom, when the value of the pretentious mansion was estimated at $15,000,50 with the price of furnishings for the interior set at $8,000. Mr. Conner stated that Mrs. Conner promised to keep the cost of furnishing the home within the bonds of $3,000 but her taste for luxury ran to the high peak of $9,000 when she had finished purchasing the various articles of household goods in the fashionable Barker Bros., and other high-class stores. On account of the excessive amount he was forced to place a heavy mortgage on the home.

CLEVELAND MISS.. May 20—Henry Guest, convicted in Bolivar County Circuit Court of the murder of Abraham Tucker, and Phillips Hays, convicted of criminal assault, both sentenced to be hanged on June 20, are held in jail at Cleveland pending appeals to the Supreme Court. All are colored. Guest's conviction is the first time in the history of Bolivar County a Negro was sentenced to be hanged for killing another of the race.
FEW NEGROES ATTEND UN-
EMPLOYMENT MASS MEETING
Interpreted as either acknowledgement of the futility of demonstrations/noisy speech making etc. to affect a remedy or because there is less unemployment in the group than among other races, a mere handful of colored people were among a large crowd that assembled at the Plaza last Sunday to listen to speeches against capitalists and the lack of work. Eads Howe, the millionaire hobo was the speaker of the day.
ATTACK MISSOURI SENATOR FOR PARKER VOTE
ATTACK MISSOURI SENATOR FOR PARKER VOTE
By: A. N. P.
ST. LOUIS, MO. May 20—The action of United States Senator Roscoe Patterson in supporting Judge John J. Parker for confirmation as associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court was termed "regrettable" by State Representative Walthall M. Moore, at the opening of the Republican campaign, in the Fifth Ward, last Friday night. The Senate rejected Parker's appointment after Negro organizations and labor unions had fought him on the ground that he had been unfair.
Moore, the first member of our race to be elected to the State Legislature, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress in the 12th district, which is largely populated by our people. He will oppose Congressman L. C. Dyer, white, who has represented the district for years.
Moore said: "In that memorable action in the Senate some days ago, we found our Republican Senator Patterson could not bring himself to the point of supporting the thing we begged of him. I regret that he found it necessary to line up against us. "In the Parker matter, the Negroes found their memories and dug up the records. We had every right to expect that our Republican Senators would stand by us in this fight, and I am sorely disappointed that they did not do so."

Colored Nurse Gets Important Assignment
Colored Nurse Gets Important Assignment
Important recognition was accorded a colored graduate nurse when Mrs Willie Leonora Bruce 725-F. 24th St was assigned by Dr. F. F. Barham millionaire publisher of the Los Angeles Herlad to take his convalescent two-year-old son to New York. She left with her precious charge, on the Santa Fe's crack train, the "Chief" Monday. May 19th to be gone two weeks leaving the boy-in the hands of great eastern specialists to protect the cure she has been incidental in effecting.
The case was one of the most dangerous and closely watched in local medical history. Twelve weeks ago the capitalist's beloved son was suddenly stricken with Broncho-Phenomonia, one of the most dread diseases in medical annals. Because of Mrs. Bruce's record with local white specialists she was sent for post haste when the edict was declared by the Physician in charge that only the finest nursing and co-operation would save him. So for six weeks she remained at his bedside in their palatial home in Inlewood, until the
wood until the crisis was past. The gratitude of the family could hardly be estimated and although she is one of the most highly paid nurses in the west she was showered with many other rewards. Following the completion of her mission she was given a tour of side trips through the east, taking in Atlantic City, Philadelphia and other eastern cities. During her stay in the Metropolis she resided at the eastern home of the publisher, 708 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn. Her gift tour also included Denver, Col to visit old friends there.
Mrs. Bruce a native of Colorado, and graduate of Meharry Medical Institute, is noted for her success in handling surgical obstetrical and ifever cases. For eleven years until his death she was associated with Dr. R. A. Woods, famous western specialist handling all his greatest cases. She is also one of the city's most able business women and largest property owner, among her possessions being Florette Courts. Florette Apartments, a ten room residence in Watts, California, besides city lots and other valuable property.

ATLANTA, GA., May 20—The Commission on Interracial Co-operation has just announced award of the following prizes in connection with its annual national high school project, "America's Tenth Man," based on a study of the Negro's contribution to American life.
Individual prize of $100 to Ruth Lucille Murison, Swedeland, Pennsylvania, student in Bridgeport, High School.
School prize of $100 to R. J. Reynolds School, Winston-Salem, N. C.
School prize of $100 to the high school of Kirkssville, Missouri.
The contest evoked wide interest, enlisting many thousands of students in 160 schools in thirty-five states. In one white school, 500 papers were written by students and in another a thousand were reported as having had some part in the study. Many schools participating reported deep interest and very gratifying results. It is believed that a great many young people of both races were profited by the study.
Bakersfield Man Gets Freedom, $6,000 in Cash and Prospect of a Fortune
OIL OPERATORS WANT OKLAHOMA PROPERTY
Bonus, Royalty Accepted for Lease on Land in Newest "Gusher District
In jail one day for failure to pay a court fine of $250 and out the next day with $6,000 cash and the prospect of becoming an oil millionaire—that in a sentence is the history this week of Jack Craig, a Negro, who is now walking about his place on the Cottonwood road trying to convince himself that it is all true.
It is true. The clink of the cash and the crackle of the bills make genuine music in the ears of Craig.
Last week Craig was in jail here serving out his sentence in lieu of paying the $350 fines. It seems that he had some difficulty with the government over the possession of intoxicants, or such was the allegation in Federal Court.
Because Craig was short on funds, he went to jail. Last week he had a caller. A man offered him $200 for a couple or lots back in Oklahoma. Craig was about to jump at the offer when a stranger said he had driven all the way from Oklahoma to buy the lots.
This last statement made Craig hesitant—perhaps the lots were worth more than $200.
Finally, through various stages of dickering, the price was boosted up $900. As the price ascended Craig took on more hope and respect for the property a brother had given him before dying. Craig held off.
Other offers were made, tipping off the whole matter to Craig.
The realization came to him that his two lots were right "smack bang" in the center of the new Oklahoma oil territory which has figured so conculcously in the public press through its great other. Craig decided to consult an attorney and retained Mel Britton of this city who book over negotiations for he Negro and secured for him a $6,000 bonus and an eighth royalty. The land is in the center of an area bringing in from 10,000 to 15,000 barrel wells.
(BY: WILLIAM PICKENS)
(For The Associated Negro Press)
"Hold Him If You Can, But Don't Shoot Anybody." These are the words which the Governor of Texas wired to the officers who were defending an accused Negro against a mob bent on lynching him. Those words were just as effective as if he had wired to the mob leaders: "Go and get the Negro, if you want him; you won't be hurt for it."—That telegram was the real crime. That telegram incited the mob. That telegram murdered the untrusted, and hence unconvicted Negro. Of course, the mob leaders and the mobbish law-officers said: "The Negro confessed; is in the calm atmosphere of a court, not in the fury of a mob nor in the presence of bullying, torturing "officers." The sort of confessions gotten from Negroes' under such circumstances are never to be trusted, even when the confession is certified and it is seldom certified, but we usually have only the mob's word for it, when after the lynching they are trying to mitigate the heinousness of their offense. We know that even when a black man and a white woman are caught in compromise in a state like Texas, it stands as "rape" even in the law courts as well as before the mob.
Sherman, Texas, is in the edge of Hell. One year ago I had a date to speak there and to organize the colored people. Just before I reached the place, I received word from the physician who was making the arrangements, cancelling the date and begging me not to come. I felt rather vexed at what seemed the useless fear of that colored man then, but perhaps he knew the depth of the savagery of that community better than I could guess it. I see that this mob did not forget to burn down "the Negro Drug store," perhaps this same doctor's business. It is remarkable how these mobs pretend that they are trying to punish rapists, but always manage to destroy or to steal property. The economic motives of the mob are very convincing. Ten years ago, after the Tulsa riot, and after the sacking and burning of the "Negro section," in the first days of peace that followed, many a colored woman, walking through the town, discovered some of her jewelry on the fingers or in the ears of some white-woman. The "frenzied" mobs were not frenzied enough to pass over or to scorn these valuables; jewelry, money, and even furniture was hauled out in some cases before the Negro home was set fire to.
But Dan Moody's wire is so far the worst outrage committed against law and decency in the history of mob violence. He deliberately sought to paralyze and stay the none too eager hands of the Texas officers in defending a Negro prisoner. He must have known that if he feared to order them to defend their prisoner, as braver governors in Kentucky and other states have done, he did not even NEED to order them to turn the Negro over to the mob without resistance, which is the sum and substance of his orders. Officers in such cases need encouragement to sustain the law; they never need any incitement from their superiors to connive at popular uprising or not.
Old Bill Sherman once said: "If I Owned Both Hell and Texas, I would Rent Out Texas." Well., Governor Dan Moody is a disgrace even to Texas.
CHARGED WITH MAKING
FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST U. S.
By: A. N. P.
NEW ORLEANS, La., May 20
Charges of making false claims against
the government of the United States
in seeking to secure two checks of
$10.50 each, were filed against Morel
Handley, Negro. Handley told United
States Commissioner R. H. Carter, Jr.
before whom he was charged, that two
government checks addressed to him
had been intercepted and cashed by
someone else. When informed that he
could be sentenced to ten years and fin-
ed $5,000 for fraudulent claims against
the government he still protested that
his checks had been intercepted
and cashed without his knowledge.
Miss Delphinia Jackson, 1358 1-2 E Washington street, lies critically ill at the hospital with a very slim chance for recovery from a vicious attack upon her by one named Felix Williams, who went to her home on last Tuesday evening forced his way into the young woman's room, hid in a closet and when she came home about 11 p. m., attacked her with a knife, slashing her face, arms and hands. She was taken to the Receiving Hospital where the surgeons had to take 65 stitches in sewing up the wounds. As we go to press the doctors hold out small hopes for her recovery. Williams is 41 years of age, the girl 19. Conjecture is the only cause suggested, but the general theory advanced is that the girl had repulsed Williams' advances and he became infurated and committed the crime.
Lieutenant of Police Krug and Lieutenant of Detectives Kimbrough and Broady answered the call. The case was then assigned to, Officers Conway and Clark.
Witnesses to the act were Ruth Malanda, 1358 1-2 E. Washington; Prince Carter, 1358 1-2 E. Washington and Melrose Browning, 1358 East Washington.
Miss Jackson is the adopted daughter of the late Mrs. M. Jackson who met a tragic death a trifle over a year ago in front of her home at this same address by being run down by an automobile. She is also a beautiful and deaccomplished young woman who only last year graduated from High school. Has almost of friends among the younger set as well as the old who hope for her recovery.

DR. WM. R. CARTER ATTENDS
BAPTIST CONVENTION
Dr. Wm. R. Carter, General Worker among Negro Baptists in this territory, left this week to attend the Northern Baptist Convention which meets in Cleveland, Ohio May 28th to June 2nd.
The Northern Baptist Convention this year is emphasizing its educational and missionary work among Negroes throughout the country. This, convention has the largest educational and missionary investment among Negroes, and employs more Negro college presidents and teachers than any other denomination working among the race.
While away, Dr. Carter will study racial and inter-racial conditions in Chicago, Cleveland, Washington and Mennichis. He has been invited to participate in several conferences relating to the educational and economic activities among and for the Negro.
Los Angeles, May 21, 1930. Joseph B. B. Mass, Editor; California Eagle, 847 South Central Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif.
Los Angeles has won a glorious victory on behalf of the Department of Water and Power. May I express sincere thanks for the most generous manner in which you devoted space in your newspaper to Water and Bond news during the campaign. The unsuifled wholehearted support of district newspapers contributed very largely to the overwhelming vote for the Water Bonds. It was necessary to inform the people as to the actual and vital need for more water. You have rendered a very great public service.

a: Polite, clean cut,
‘student of “Hollenbeck Junior High
School in Boyle Heights, ‘the wins
ner aitd) setisation of a. uosque’ stage
talent contest which was opened Satur-
‘day night by the Tivoli manager, gem.
jal, popular M. A. Ellsworth.
‘Talent of all kinds to be judged from
‘their performance on the stage, with
the audience as judges is his plan. The
finals after four weeks are to be judge
by_a committeé of prominent business
men. The prizes, expensive loving cups
and a week's contract at the Apex
Nite Club for the first winner were the
goals of the contestants.
Mr. Ellsworth hearing of the boy
singer and ever anxious to give an op-
portunity to tadevsloped Negro talent
drove over to Boyle Heights and
brought him to the contest. The long
enthusiastic applause that followed his
singing “At the End of The Road”
Proved that he is really a discovery.
Although he has never had vocal
training or appeared in regular stage
Performances, hig voice is pure, clear,
and possessed of that vibrant quality
that makes great artists.
MORE ENTRIES WELCOMED
Happy Mitchell won second prize with
a dancing act, and John Gibson took
third with a beautiful. cornet solo.
Mitchell és half that focally famous
team of Mitchell and Redman and
Gibson a mere boy is 4 member of
a crack boys band, a worthy scion of a
musical family.
The contests are already the town
talk but being of the elimination plan
those who fail in the first may re-enter
and finally win in the last. All who can,
do any thing are urged to enter, not |
only tor the prizes but because of the
facts that there'will’ be stage and movie
scouts in the audience looking for new
Negro talent. -

IF NOT FITTS WHO? s
jn the approaching campaign for the’ election of a candidate tc
make the race for governor of the Soverign:state of California, all peo-
ples are supposed to select their. choice with but one aim in view and that
Pend be oe ite ‘man who will best serve ALL THE PEOPLE of this
great com Ith. eats .
In this situation we have carefully scanned the record in ‘public office
of each one of the aspirants and find only one of the three who in our
opinion has qualified as the‘representative of all the people and that
man is the courageous former Lieutenant Governor and present District
Attarney of Los! Angeles County, the Hon. Buron R. Fitts.
Every step in the road from a newsboy on the sidewalks of Los
Angeles, in the practice of his profession, as a soldier in the World War,
as Lieutenant Governor of the rest State he has won his spurs. Through-
out his entry in) public life he has stood unfaltering for the right and
has proved hiniself as the best fitted servant for all the people. Glittering
pomp and grandeur has never awed of served tq cause him to interpet
the law in any other manner than that it was for all people alike. The
ricly, the poor, the exalted and humble all have never had but the same
break with thefearless and courageous Buron Fitts.
‘Then with this situation being true; If Fitts is not the peoples man,
for the Lord's sake just tull us who is? ce
When a man with these qualifications seeks a higher calling it is
hardly necessarj} to mention the short comings of others, but politics
and the exigencies of the occasion are such that we will be compelled to
inform the people of the truth and the WHOLE TRUTH during the
approaching campaign, especially so will we. do this thing as it affects
the group which this publication ‘represents and has served ynder the pre-
sent regime for the past twenty" years. :
We have never yet.disappointed our clientile. When conditions were
unfgir we have at all times sought improved conditions, and this cam-
paign will be no exception’ and we shall not overlook the opportunity to
keep the people thoroughly posted upon the situation which confronts us
in California at this time. |
“We are not among the: paid nor subsidized we have but one duty to
render and that is to serve our people and all other upright God fearing
people the very best we can, and with this spirit within our heart, we
can but say If not FITTS who shall we Support ?
PRODUCING FROM THE SOIL OF THE EARTH—
‘Our recent yisit through the heart of the: San. Jauquin Valley, un-
folded the fact that the Negro is taking a new hold upon the proposition
of production from the soil of the earth, In this production area which
soil al] but rivals that of the valley of the Nile, we noted quite a few
Negto farmers who are taking advantage of the opportunity and as a re-
sult they are rapidly forging to the front among the prosperous and
happy residents of that community. There is every reason for them to
succeed aside from the rich soil, water im abundance is gushing from
‘the bowls ofthe earth. This is made possible by the power and the
centtifugal pump. Record crops afe made and harvested. King Cot-
ton comes forth in abundance and many farmers of our group have just
taken a firm hold upon him and as a result are prosperous and happy.
What should be an object lesson in this Valley to other ofganiza-
tions, is the farm just.a stone's throw from Tulare owned by the Grand
Wnited Order of| Odd Fellows. Here is 2 proposition disignated as the
“Odd Fellows Home” it is more than that; It is also an Odd Fellows
Nursery. because it insalls in the mind and heart the greatness of
production. We find here as good a setting of Alfalfa as it is possible to
have, poultry of all kinds and a realy dairy everything is run by power
and really it is apparent that the Old Fellows have outstripped. gil others
in their contribution to race progress. They meet in Grand Lodge As-
sembly, they wear their bright uniforms, bat they meet for something
real as practically demonstrated in the mighty San Jauquin Valley. .

A FORTUNE IN THIS
Man's day is triple; a work day which has been shortened; a leisure
day which has been correspondingly lengthened} and a sleep day which
so far is definitely known, has been neither shortened nor lengthened
with the progress of mankind.
Great: mental activity, artificial light, more diversions, and_the
noises and distractions of the city may have substracted something from
the sleep period of millions, But it may be that modern mam: needs more
sleep to knit up ‘the reveled sleeve of care,” for the ravage is greater in
this day of high-speedy living than when man found it easier to make
a living and less to do when he wasn't engaged in the actual business of
earning money.
It would be interesting to know how many hours the savage sleeps
as’compared with the chemist who proposes a chemical substitute for
* Science has come to look upon the body as a collection of, elements
whose reactions determine the physical state of man’s being. This has:led
the chemist to consider the diet which may best supply what the body
needs and has suggested to them the idea of discovering or creating a cat-
alyst that will so resolve and. recombine the elements which sleep has
-alone been able to convert from the poisonous to the bening that man
may, have longer|days without lessened years.
No other discovery would work such a revolution in human society.
It would fatigue the imagination to try to think of the social changes
which would fdllow the discovery of a synthetic substitute for sleep. -
‘Though man for ages has assumed that sleep was foreordained as 3
blessing to mankind, the scientist who makes sleep unnecessary will be
blessed even more than “the man who first invented sleep.”
Dig deep-if| you "would have the richest treasures. One may wash
gold dust from the shallow stream but the coveted nugget of gold is
found buried de¢p in the bowels of the earth. Those who would find
diamonds must move mountains of earth and “full many-a gem of- purest
ray serene the dark, unfathomed caves of ocean, bear.”
The profoundest beauty in 2 great ‘painting, or the work of sculpture,
and the rarest jewel of wisdom on the printed page will not be found on
the*surface. Art does not surrender its true self to those who will not
“drink deep.” | -
‘One may wear gold and jewels without descending to “‘urifathomed
caves” or borrowing underground,-but for the richest treasures in litera-
ture, painting, music and sculpture one must do his own prospecting.
Others may create it, but the individual must discover it for “himself.
‘Art is the one absolute*commonwealth. Though the common property
“of all, it is enjoyed by the few. Numbered among the natural resources
of the earth are coal, gas, and the various minerals. Art is an artificial
‘resource but of them all it.alone is inexhaustible. rm
=, What applies in the field of art and treasure-hunting is equally ap-
licable to more workaday affairs. Deep digging pays. in business, in-
stry, labor, Iusekeeping. farming or: study.- In modern phraseology
‘this universal truth is expressed in the counsel of the experienced to
youth to “get out and dig” if it would aecomplish something in Jife.

The interest shown hy the people, through their representatives, in
selecting justices and judges of the courts, shows that they; are returning
to the priniciples of the form of govesnment intended by’ the founders,
and dépicted so vividly by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg speech
when he declared this Nation as a.“Government Of The People, By: The
People.” The electors*are probing and searching the records of the
judiciary as never before. The confirmation of Judge Parker was deniéd
because of his judicial bias in the decision rendered where the interest Ot
the laborer was concerned, as much, and more so, because.of_ his intol-
erant views of racial citizenship. ‘There are many of the judicial posts
which are elective. Candidates for those benches will have to prove
that they have judicial minds, free from all:bias and can interpret the
Jaw for the high and. lowly; rich and, poor, alike. There is no doubt,
that if as reported, 2 judge sitting on the bench of a superior court al-
lowed an attorney to use the language as alleged, that he will be remem-
bered by the voters of that city (Los Angeles) and the community when
he again seeks their suffrage. We do not expect this to meet with the
unanimous approbation, evén: of the ones whose veracity was assailed
because of their color. Neither are we expecting a “pat an the back” by
those who humiliated by the words of racial ridicule spewed from the
mouth of the "Gentleman? from the South.” It. was no great effort for
Judge Parker to.obtain any amount of “Negroes? to recommend him for
confirmation. | We have,them with US; ALWAYS.

In Sherman, Texas, scene‘of the late riot when a thob burned the
court house, destroyed other property, murdered helpless citizens,. and
raised hell in) general, the Militia which was called out to. maintain
order seemed to be as efficient as a regiment 0 ftwo year old boy's armed
with pea shooters. "Law abiding and hard working Negro men who have
helped to make the “Lone Star State” prosperous by their toil, have
been told by’ itinerant agitators ‘that they must leave their homes and
employment or suffer death, It seems to be an irony that the town
which harbors all of this trouble’ should be named for the great man
who made the expression, “That if he had to take his choice between Hell
and Texas, he would prefer Hell.” Sherman the great soldier was right
but why should the town named for him be pointed out as a realization
of his prophecy. There are a few of Texas citizens who make the boast
of fairness. Numbers of ideal citizens are frequent visitors to the states
bordering on the Pacific Coast. We have come in contact with college
men whom it has been a delight to meet. Negro and white: It does not
seem possible that this element will allow themselves to be submerged in
the whirlpool of lawlesness by an element such as controlls the situation
at SHERMAN.

Hawti-seeks tq be to the Pacific what the Hague is to the Atlantic
and Europe. For the five years, what is now named the “The Istitute
of Pacific Relations” has been meeting at various points in the Pacific
to discuss matters and develop, by contact, a better understanding. It
was hoped by those means, to form the basis which yvould tend toward
the establishment of a perpetual peace among the nations bordering on
the Pacific Ocean. A visit to Hawii will convince one that it is a cosmo-
polite. A little world in itself. Races from the four corners of the earth
live together, contact in-business; work in unity and, abide in harmony.
A study of the problems in Hawii will come near that of any question
arising in the Pacific.‘ The establishment of a permanent place of meet-
ing in Honolulu sticH as at the Hague, where all questions pertaining
to the countries, which border on the Pacific, could be brought for
adjudication, would go a long way to create an era of mutual good will.
where there is mutual goodwill: peace and prosperity must attend. It
might be that] when Australia comes in contact with other races of the
world and can note that all have the human qualities of good and bad,
she may awake from the provincial sleep of her isolation and welcome ali
‘people for the) worth which they might-bring to their commonwealth.

It seems as if the game of horse shoes is being indulged in more
this year in Los Angeles than ‘usual, but it could not be spoken of aq
revival; for this form of sport, going back in principle to the discus
throwing of the ancient Greeks, has never been absent with in the,
period written history. In early England it was known as quoits, with
heavy iron rings used, and this name and the use of rings persists to a
considerable degree, but horse shoes appear to be the official style in
this country.
Quoit pitching became so general in England in the fifteenth century
that rivalattempts Were mada to end it in favor of archery. One of
the writers of the period speaks of “quoiting as too vile for scholars.”
It i noted, however, that scholars at picnics still take to it about as keen-
ly as any, while archery, much as there is to be said for its gracefulness
and test_of skill, still requires efforts to keep it alive. Horse shoes, first
used by Workingmen for luck of quoits, now ate made specially for the
game with regulation weight, and finished as elegantly as desired, in gold
bronze, nickle plate or aluminum. ‘

The following pithy comment is by M. E. Tracy, columnist for the
Scripps Booth Dailies. &
Pathetic Commentary {
That outrage at Sherman, Texas, in which a frenzied mob burned
the courthouse in order to destroy a Negro whose. fate had already been
sealed by his confession forms a pathetic commentary on our boasted
civilization, A i
The way the rioters abused the body of their helpless victim’ was of
small consequence: compared to the way they abused’ their awn intel-
ligence. One could excuse them if they were trying to accomplish some-|
thing that could not have been accomplished in an orderly manner, but
that was not the case. The law: had not broken down; there was not the
least likelihood that the criminal would escape punishment, and unless
constitutional government is all wrong, a legal execution would have done
more good than such a wanton exhibition of insane violence as the mob
staged. It is to be hoped’ that the authorities will be able to apprehend
and punlish those responsible for such an assault on public decency.

Senator Hitam Johnson, Knight—errant of American independence,
had a verbal oust’ with Secretary of State, Stimpson who was on the
“grill” at the hearing af the delegtes to the London Naval Conference on
the treaty under investigation by the foreign relation committee of the
senate, It is reported that the Secretary became peeved and showed ire
at the persistent questioning he had to undergo. During’ the verbal
conflict over the increased Japanese naval strength, the Secretary: was ask-
ed by the Senator whether Japan did not recognize the 3-5-3 ration at the
Washington conference, the Secretary replied that “There is a difference
of opinion.” Then. retorted the Senator: “I come from the Pacific
Coast, and I think the great world developments of the future will
come in that region. Pacific commerce is cvresing rapidly. 1 am not a
militarist and !-would favor a limjtation. of armament. But Il am not
willing to sacrifice our naval bases in 1922 to get ‘the 5-5-3 ratio, and
then sacrifice the ration at London in 1930 merely t oobtain a treaty.”
What a splendid thing it is to have as.a representative one who is fear-

Prohibition still holds the spotlight. Proponents and opponents of
the enforcement act are endeavaring“to show why the measure should be
amended or repealed, and the other side clamoring for stricter enforce-
ment. Former Ambassador to’ Mexico, Morrow: now a candidate for
the U. S, senate from New Jersey. comes out in his platform as for ‘repeal
of the law. “Prior to 1919 it was the State Governments that bore the
prinicpal responsibility for dealing with the liquor question. | believe
that the way out of the present difficulty is to recognize clearly the fun-
damental difference between the nature of the federal government and
th State government. | believe this involves a repeal of the states the
power to determine their policy toward the liquor traffic “and vest in
the federal government power to give all possible protection and’ assis-
tance to those States that desire complete prohibition against invasion
from the States that do not.” Said Dwigt Morrow. i

Proponents of the League Court are haying-a rough journey. | Big
ders ae being thrown in the path. Abraham Lincoln was wise in
stening to and heeding the wishes of the “common people. He gave
them credit for having intelligence sufficient to know their wants. It
might be well for other executives to follow the example of Abraham
Lincoln. The Treaty brought home by the delegates to the London
Naval Conference is also in for some rough usage before ratification; if
ratified. One of the important signs of the times is, the meeting to-
gether of such widely divergent religious beliefs as the Roman Catholic:
Jew and Methodists. The representatives of the three religious sects met
to confer on how to best further their religious intrests in communities
where there might be anoverlapping. There is great significance in the
conferring of those three big religious bodies. The Rev. J. B. Kelly,
noted Catholic, takes exception to the statement of the anti-Saloon
League that it was “born of God.” “IT taking a drink is immorial, how
about Wesly, the saint of Methodism, who. accotding to Lamar, Georgia
historian was known. to wallow a ‘‘hooker” of hot whisky. Thus it goes
back and forth. When the question is eventualiy settled lets hope it
will be settled right and for all time. Now Texas threatens to dismem-
ber herself jn-order to transfer the balance of political power from the
North to the South. Texas, N. Garner, representative from that State,
declared can be divided into five states by an act of the Legislature.
“This power ig lodged in Texas through provisions of the annexation
resolution.” Garner said. Ye gods! If one Texas is a h——of a place,
what would five.of them be.

Miss Olga Jane Lewis was the charming hostess to a group of friends, at the Senior Ball of the gradnating class of 1930, which was given Friday evening, May 9th, at the Hanford High Gymnasium. After the Ball Miss Olga Lewis entertained her guests at a supper-party, the table was very beautifully spread. A most enjoyable time was had by all. Miss Lewis received many congratulations and well-wishes from her friends. The guest list was the following.

HEARD AND SEEN
While browsing in the library to day I came across a volume of "Modern Negro Poets" by James Weldon Johnson. What particularly struck me was a poem ("Choucer") by Benjamin Browley. I understand that Mr. Barwley has written text books that are used in several American Colleges including Harvard. Mr. Frank Tustin Browley of 100 Yale St. is a brother of the renowned author.
Don't ask me how I received this information, suffice it to say that if is true the following statements were written by two white girls student of P. J. C. Writes girl No. 1 "There are scores of Negroes who are really intelligent and genteel. But the great majority of them are neither retind in mind nor very respectable in person. Girl No. 2 — The Negroes dress very dirty; they eat bad food, and are bad generally."
Of course the immature and superficial judgement of these two young students is very noticable. But we wont just how much truth is embodied in their criticisms. Such statements should appeal to the price of the race to be more careful in behavior, etc.
The Engineering Magazine at P. J. C. informs us that an ance road is in process of construction which will lead from Fairbanks, Alaska to Bagnes Aires. It will run along the Pacific Coast for thousands of miles think of it motorists will be able to drive from the northern to the Southern Continent without contacting water. The Panama canal will be bridged.
Mr. Oscar Overr told the Inter-Racial Forum (Sunday) that the famous Pancho Villa was almost a full blooded Negro, and that he was once a member of the crack 10th U. S. Calvary. Mr. W. D. Smith (of L. A.) told the same group that general Pershing had a Negro interpreter while on the border.
Captain Galmes mentioned that in the Bay of Yucatan are to be found several sunken cities that originally were founded by Negroes who had migrated from Africa via a stretch of land that lay between the two continents. The intervening continent being the loss Atlantic.

OPEN LETTER
Dear Editor:
I am a smoker and have been for years, but the lying advertisements that I see constantly in papers and on billboards cause me to use a bit of your space in telling the world my humble views which are as follows: Tobacco is harmful or else why do some of the largest business institutions refuse to hire people who smoke. Insanity is the increase, and cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of this increase. Within my own circle of friends and acquaintances I have known many or at least several men whom it has killed. Tobacco is a poison that would not be urged upon you if there were not a profit for others in making you a victim. The one in ten million or more who survives and reaches a great age notwithstanding the use of tobacco or whisky, is the odd one who, because of some peculiarity in his constitution was able to generate an antitoxin that offset the poison of nicotine. Nicotine is a deadly poison. It is employed by gardeners in destroying plants on plants. Infants and children exposed continuously to the fumes of tobacco smoke, while not instantly killed, are stunted in their normal growth mental development is impaired and many of them die prematurely. Young single women should also think seriously, if tempted to take up the smoking habit. Some may think it will increase their popularity with young men, but in this they are due for a rude awakening. A questionnaire was submitted to three hundred men students in the University of California, Southern Branch, as to the kind of woman desired for a life companion. A composite picture taken from the three hundred replies included the very specific condition that she should not smoke. I say that smoking is an honor to no woman, and I don't think I'm narrow in saying this for I am a person of broad experience have traveled widely, and come into contact with all classes of people. It may interest you to know that I hold two athletic records, am far from being a sissy, and yet I declare that tobacco is a bad habit for men and women.

The A. M. E. church, under the leadership of its present pastor, Rev. Buchanan, is doing a wonderful work.
Monrovia is doing a wonderful work as citizens, Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Price, who are domiciled on Plum street. Rev. Price is presiding elder of the Los Angeles district of the A. M. E. church, a bright scholar and clean, upright Christian gentleman. Mrs. Price is a woman of high attainments and a hard worker for racial uplift and advancement. We were also residents of San Diego during Rev. Price's rastorate of Bethel A. M. E. church in that city, where we contacted him quite often, and feel honored to number he and his splendid wife among our friends.
Mother's Day was very fittingly observed at the A. M. E. Zion church. The pastor, Rev. W. E. Shaw, preached a most appropriate sermon at 11:00 o'clock, so very practical were his remarks that much good is certain to result therefrom. Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass, of the California Eagle was unable to be present as scheduled on account of illness. Her secretary, Mrs. Edna Greene Smith was present, however, to explain the reason of her absence and at the same time, took a part on the program. An appreciative audience was in attendance.
The third quarterly meeting was held Sunday, May 18th with worship and sermons at 11 a. m., 3 and 8 p. m. Revs. G. W. Reed, presiding elder; I. A. Moore and Frank Myers were the preachers.
If your notes of whatever nature do not appear in these columns, don't blame the correspondent. It is your own neglect for we have asked repeatedly that you send your news to our address, 925 So. Ivy. Let the outside world know what is going on in Monrovia through the medium of your newspaper.

Layne, Jr., one of the tenors in the Emanuel Hall Chorus of the RKO Studio, has returned to Los Angeles after having spent a delightful three weeks' vacation at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezra J.

Sloane, Music, singing and whist were the features of the evening. The guests departed at a late hour, all singing the praises of Mr. Layne and asking for another invitation soon.

At 11 a. m., Pastor Will Ilams, his soul burning with the zeal of that "Hall-lowed Fire" brought the message. Subject, "Wash and Be Clean," a demonstrative sermon that will live long in the hearts of the large congregation present. The facts as set forth showed plainly how the Christian family in general and leaders in particular should, keep themselves clean (morally) that their influence for good be felt not in the church alone, nor the community in which they live, but felt by everyone with whom they come in contact. An altar call was made. Many answered the same. Fervent prayer was uttered on behalf of the church. There were several accessions—also baptism. Rev. Messah preached at 8 p.m., after an inspiring B. Y. P. U.
Pastor Williams preaches at both services Sunday—11 a. m., "The Eagle Stirs Her Nest."; 8:00 p. m., "Three Views of a Marvelous Picture." Visitors receive a hearty welcome at St. Paul.

The phenomenal growth of the order in all sections has brought about a demand for the state organization and it is promised on due time to function to its fullest capacity and stand shoulder to shoulder with any in the confines of this jurisdiction.

and miles of the most beautiful charming, picturesque scenery, of gigantic hills, snow capped mountains fertile valleys until we arrived a Fairmount reservoir in Antelope Valley. Here we alighted and viewed the first water. Leaving there some miles distance we climbed a hill; here is located the kitchen and dining hall, where the faithful, efficient men eat. Here the table groaning with delicious food, cooked by a chef who really knows how, awaited us; and how we did eat. Soup, ham with canned sweet potatoes, roast beef with white potatoes and gravy, creamed carrots, peas, stuffed peppers, pickles, ple, pudding, coffee, ice tea. Then again down the hill to plant No. 1. Here we alighted again and were conducted into the plant, and all the details of the system explained. Gigantic pipes, running over mountains, and under mountains, the roaring of massive wheels, the churning of waters, the responsibility of men that sit and watch every movement of little hands on meters and little electric bulbs on a high electric table, which is checked on a chart every second, fairly makes your head swim at the immensity of it all. Then a few spaces to a picnic retreat where Mr. Alexander and Mr. Stigman talked to us on the history of Los Angeles' Water and Power. Then again down around hills, curves, with depths below, yet we were not afraid, because we believed in our efficient drivers.
Plant No. 2 was reached at length where more rower is produced and where the water still drops lower, then on down again to plant No. 3. Here the water empties into an upper and then a lower reservoir as large as lakes, beautiful to behold. Every process of the water coming down is made purer and purer, that when it finally reaches our faucets it is very pure indeed. Then back home to dream and wonder over the wonderful benignity of man, the tremendous engineering art. the task of bringing water to our fair city.
Announcement is made at this time of the scheduled appearance of a convenient new twenty-five cent size package of Adams' "Bandits," the better physic, in every drug store in California, as a companion size to the already popular fifty cent package. This new twenty-five cent package of the better physic will make its first appearance JUNE FIRST, 1930.
The appearance of this new twenty-five cent package of the better physic marks the third anniversary of Adams' "Bandits" in California. This new package positively will contain genuine Adams' "Bandits". There can be no improvement made on the formula of Adams' "Bandits," it's perfect. The thousands upon thousands of satisfied users of the better physic will be pleased to know that not only have we devised this new twenty-five cent package of Adams' "Bandits" but we also have increased the quantity of Adams' "Bandits" more than fifty per cent in the already popular fifty cent package. This increase is possible because of the rapid and almost pheomenal increase in sales of the product in the last six months.
Hundreds of thousands have been ever so anxious to take Adams' "Bandits" but have denied themselves the privilege because of the price and size of the original package. This handicap is entirely removed with the introduction of this new twenty-five cent package of Adams' "Bandits." They are within the reach of everybody now, commencing JUNE FIRST, 1930.

21th, when I shall sail once more for
my native land after an absence -o!
three years,
1am sailing trom New York by S.
©. Mauretania, Cunrad Line of South-
hampton where I will transfer to a
South African bound vessel leaving
Southhampton on the 20th of June.
+ From Soutbhampton we will stop
at Maderig Jslands for a few hours
and then we will make a non-stop
trip of thirteen days till we get. to
Cape Town. The steamer Is sched-
tiled to reach Durban on the 13th of
July. I expect to reach home the
game day’ because my people live only
thirty-fige miles fgom Durban and
can be reached easily by bus.
During these three years-I have
hac manv'new and interesting experi-
ences. While studying.I have spoken,
in several parts of the country before
School and church groups,
| have been very puch impressed
by the democratic spitit shown in the
colleges between professors and stu-
dents. I have come in contact with
many fine Christian personalities that
have renewed my confidence in my-
self and in the value of my work.
Tam returning to my country, with
a broader vision of my work anf with
tremendous eagerness to try out with
the young people some of the edu-
cational methods which I have become
acquainted -with during my, stay in
America.
- | hope that our work in Squth Africa
will be 2 means of promoting a friend-
lier international spirit linking up the
young, of America with the
young of South Africa.
‘With all-good wishes,
* “Cordially yours.

_.That Buron Fitts, seems destined t
achieve -his gubernatorial goal at the
August primary, is the conscensus o
editorial opinion that has followed hi:
entry into the governorship contest
Newspapers of the state withholding
comment until aiter Mr. Fitts’ state:
ment of cancidacy and his opening
campaign address had been carefull
studied and digested, are now advis
ing their readers as to their decisions
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES holds
“Fitts is worthy of the votes of al
Californians who would see their stat
as a whole progress sanely and steadi.
ly-along the road that destiny ha:
chosen for it.” }
PETALUMA ARGUS.COURIER
Discussing Fitts’ address on Re
publican party harmony and the party’
npfonsibnlity to President Herber
joover_ remarks: '
; “He (Fitts) is determined, appareit
| ly to force thé Young-Johnson outfi
into the open and. compel them te
|cither renounce Hoover or, come ou
into the open in support of the presi
dent. Fitts also, it will be noted
throws down the gauntlet to William
Randolph Hearst’ and_ his string o
newspapers, now . definitely agains
Hoover. It took genuine nerve to! d
that—but then. no one ever accuser
Buron Fitts with lack of nerve.”
Aiter an arraignment of asserted in.
equalities in the state primary law the
Dinuba Daily Sentinel comments thus
“The editors of the Daily Sentinel
who are naturally Republicans in thei;
leanings. will register as such anc
support Buron Fitts for the Republicar
nomination for governor at the Aug:
ust primaries,”
“If you wish to do your part ir
breaking up this state of lethargy.’
observes’ the Carpinteria Herald, “I
you wish to lift the standarc’ of though’
in the state of California; if you wist
to add a stimulus to our body politic
which will not only bring up the stan
dard of ideals in the state, but at the
the same time establish a more health
ful condition for our business and in:
dustrial activities—vote for Buros
Fitts for the Republican pominatio:
for governor.”
In the late A. Y, Tully's discerning
political column of the Los Angele.
Evening Express was this comment:
“Certain tolks seem to be makin
capital of Buron Fitts’ candidacy fo:
Governor on the ground that he shoul
remain where_he is until Los Angele
equals the “Spotless Town.” The:
have forgotten that he was, induced t
fgive up the position of Lieutenan
Governor upon the condition that h
would remain only long enough t
clean up the district attorney's office
Who shall say that he has not per
formed his’ part? Under Buron Fitt
an old mud scow has become a ship 0
the line. Fitts’ aspiration for a large
ship not only is natural, but commend
able.”
| THE SAN DIEGO UNION has thi
to say:
“We need a man at Sacramento wit!
aggressive character.! the genius fo
organization and the real integrity thal
Mr. Fitts has displayed in Los Ange
les.”
After some discussion on the Juliar
case the Banning Record obséfves
“District Attorney Fitts is blamed for
stirring yp all this trouble in the bes!
families. In the u:d days it would have
been possible to have everything soft.
pedaled, but Mr. Fitts has a different
way of doing things. If the people o:
California want an honest deal in
state government they will have 3
chance to vote on such a proposition
in August." 4
In newspapers of the Copley chain
-appears. an editorial commending
Fitts from actively campaigning for
‘the governorship in reality are con-
ducting the campaign for him.
“There come to mind the ancient
adage that ‘Actions speak louder than
words,’ the editorial states.
“Buron Fitts has announced his
candicacy for the office of governor
and in the opinion of the Enterprise
he will be elected.” begins an editorial
in \tNe Riverside Enternrice
IN SAN FRANCISCO
| It had been several months since
‘we had visited the great northern
metropolis, and of course we were
looking forward to the opportunity of
again shaking hands and renewing
acquaintances with our many friends.
We met among the first ones our
good friend and northern represen:
tative, Wm. Maclamore, who is one of
the wide-awake and hustling news
gathers in the North. He soon made
us at home and gave to us full infor-
mation as to the status of things in
general. We had he pleasure of meet-
ing that bright and hustling young
attorney, H. J. Meadows at his offices
‘on Montgomery «street. Attorney
‘Meadows is truly foraging to the
front ins his profession and making
a highly creditable record before the
bar in this city.
We next ran across William Guest,
the holder of concessions and whose
genius as a man of worth and thrift
has*enrolled him as a keen-sighted
and. prosperous business man. We
were the guest of Mr. Guest on lost
Monday to dinner at the beautiful
and palatial home of his sisters. Mrs,
G. W. Newman and Mrs, M. Lyons,
1164 Clayton street. We shall not
soon forget this very splendid occasion
and the splendid menu and attentions
bestowed upon us by! Mr. Guest 2nd
sisters. Others who were present on
this occasion were Rev. E. G. MeGru-
der. William Maclamore; W. H. Wil:
ais: j
"Jt was our pleasure also to be the
dinner guest on Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. W. Maclamore, 252 Pixley street.
Here we met one of the finest’ and
most hospitable couples in the world
and ‘we must bow in humble ac-
quiesence to: Mrs. Maclamore’s genius
as a chef. She is in a class to her-
self.

THE CLARION CALL

| Arriving home seteral days age
\|from that famous up-state trip, we
‘| have spent considerable time reacii
|| Mating ourselves to Los Angeles and

The trip was-a beautiful one, senic
{and otherwise. We had between
longhs and handshakes with old time
friends,’ relatives, and meeting new
aequaintances, time to observe and re-
flect. From the assortment’ of hand:
shakes and hand-grips we received on
the trip we came to the conclusion
that if there was anything the Negro
Was versed in it was fraternalism,
~ According to grips and signs han-
ved us ‘there was, over and above
some several we recognized, about,
we presume, some eighty or ninety
new orders in existence in the state.
Great Scott, can you imagine? Seems
like some ‘of these folks instead of
studying the various assortment of
hand-grips would really get down to
the scientific study of gripping a
shovel, hoe, plow or tractor.

Elite society has decreed that certair

often a two-faced superficial _ thing.
those most successful in wooing her are
apt to be the most clever hypocrits,
There is the case of Mr. Soft Tone.
Never a person used the king's Eng-
lish more fluently than he. He was the
personification of refinement; yet,
whose, tongue was more foul than his?
| Whose ming grovelled lower than his
|when in the presence of jhis real con-
| sorts? There's even a dignity ineussing.
He was popular at college, a leader
in church and. fratcrns circles, and a
‘Prince with the ladies. Women prided
themselves in receiving his attentions,
for he was so suave so cultured so
charming. :
Mr. Tone set the fashion in gentle-
‘men's dress. He knew how to lay a
table-and how to use the soup spoon.
His breath was never offensive, at least
not in the presence of the ladies. The
code of best social usage had become

was a joy to behold. With all this, he

UPERCUTS—
A
SLIM
BROWN
SLEEK HAIRED BOY stepped around the ring at Ascot Speedway on a hot July day in 1926, every motion a perfect one, every blow a "bull's-eye" until in four rounds his opponent was out on his feet.
THAT WAS YOUNG JACK THOMPSON boxing the semi-windup to Tiger Flowers, then middleweight champion, and Sailor Eddie Huffman then a good contender. Your "Uppercutter" just arrived from the East was won by the kid's masterfulness and tagged him even then as a coming champion.
Since then because or interest in him and because the "Soaring Eagle" is a personal friend of the family this column has been his biggest booster. It also got cussed and discussed some time back by false friends of his who were severely lambasted for their bad advice to a youngster who needs only the guidance of a ringwise father and a gentle loving mother.
WE PARADED HIM to the train when he went to his first loss to Fields, but stuck to him just the same when he slipped quietly back, a loser. Alone we dug him out of seclusion, patted him on the back and encouraged him before a fickle crowd at White Sox Park who sat silent though they had cheered him to the echo two weeks before, when crowned as Dundee's conqueror.
A CHAMPIONSHIP IN OUR RACE (the great one-tenth) means a lot. It proves that color is no bar to athletic prowess and fair-minded people always respect a winner. It makes doubters of other nationalities feel that there are possibilities of the Negro race succeeding in any line of activities and tends to bring the same broadmindedness in business as there is in sports. So that the white business man who will not hesitate to climb in the ring and sponge or fan the black fighter he is interested in will also not hesitate to hire his black brothers in his firm where only whites worked before.
SO JACK be careful! You have important racial affairs in your hands. Continue as now a clean cut gentleman, credit to family and Hace. Be another Tiger Flowers; not necessarily a "Deacon" but of the same principles, which made the State of Georgia offer to let him fight a mixed bout there and the City of Atlanta offer him residence in a "restricted" section. We are with you win; lose or draw, but hold it as long as you can!
Bacharach Giants Not To Organizs This Season
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. May 21—By A. N. P.—Prospjects for reorganization of the Bacharach Giants for the 1930 season are not bright and Ike Washington, owner of the club, has admitted that Chaney White, star centerfielder, who was signed to manage the Bees, has failed to communicate with him. It was learned that White is playing with the Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh.
Unless some other devoted disciple of Izaak Walton brings positive a greater catch. Dr. Albert Baumann holds the title of having caught the largest bass on opening day of the season for this game fish.
After a battle that thrills the heart of any fisherman he landed this prize beauty at Lake Wohlfard and when he weighed the big fellow the scales tip- ped 4 3-4 pounds. A picture was snapped of him before he stopped wiggling and stands as exhibit A. Besides this fellow he caught 12 more which gave him the California state limit of thirteen.

Shooting an average of around 70 as he did last year Oscar Clisby, Pasadena's colored golf star is again a threat in the Western open Championships now being played. In last year's events Clisby was considered as the most serious contender for the title. But after tieing with a white opponent in the run up his work kept him from competing in the final game. Otherwise it is believed by all the golfing fraternity that there would have been the first black golf champion in history.

I KNEW I COULD WHIP HIM, SAYS THOMP- SON NEW WEL- TERWEIGHT CHAMP
CHICAGO. May 20—"I have never had the slightest doubt in the world about my superiority to Jackie Fields as a fighter," declared Young Thompson, the California welter, Sunday, after coming to Chicago from Detroit where he had just whipped Fields to win the world's championship welter-weight title.
The new champion did not make the statement boastfully. Friends who listened to him knew from remarks which he had made before other fights that Thompson has always felt that the breaks have been against him in his other fights with Fields. These breaks are things that it isn't easy for a fighter to talk about. Fields whipped Thompson out in California, but the world at large will never know why from the lips of Thompson. Something happened in the first round out there, but it wouldn't do for a colored fighter to complain about it. He must just go on and fight. Something happened in the first round in the Chicago fight with Fields and still Thompson had to remain silent and has done so until this day.
But he had a conviction that if he just kept on after Fields he would some day be on to all the stuff that could be pulled and on that day he would whip him. His victory justified his confidence in himself.
Thus, in his own mind, he is not the pugilistic engina the white writers have tried to make out of him. He has never met a reverse in the ring which he could attribute to his lack of boxing skill or physical stamina. He has therefore felt that some day this break would be with him.
Fields was decisively whipped. In his pre-battle statement the white champion had declared that Thompson didn't like speed and that he was going to show him plenty of it and finish him off early. Thompson had stated that Fields would burn himself out and he would whip him in the late rounds. Fields carried out his promise and had the latter of the fighting in the first five rounds. But from that point on, he was almost completely out of it. Seldom has a champion been beaten worse than he was. Ring-side writers gave Thompson ten rounds. Fields three, and declared two even.
The new champion plans to be a real fighter. He knows the ranks of the weiterweights are filled with good men, but he says that any of the white boys can have their chance. Mc Larnin, Fields, Young Corbett, or any of the rest. All he asks is a resonable period between fights. He has promised Fields a return bout before the Detroit fight.
However, Fields was so soundly beaten that he may not wish another battle. After the fight, Fields broke down in his dressing room and cried because he lost and admitted that he had lost to a better man.
"I'll never be champion again," he complained.
Except for a slight cut over the eye, Thompson appeared to be in splendid shape Sunday. He appeared on the boulevard smartly attired in a gray
weight champion of the world who bout on Carlo Curtis' open air boxing night of May 24, is the best colored r Flowers, according to San Francisco and Oakland ring crifites who saw him in action against Wesley Ketchell and Joe Roche.
McVey is a combination boxer and puncher and is said to be a willing mixer. He is a more experienced fighter than Perigrina, having campaigned through the east for a number of years. He has boxed Dave Shade, Pete Latzo and other top notchers and won the colored middleweight championship in a great bout with Gorilla Jones. Young Jack Thompson's decisive victory over Jackie Fields for the welterweight championship has suddenly added new interest in the activities of the colored boxers. McVey is now o n the trail of Mickey Walker for a battle for the world's middleweight championship. Walker won the title from Tiger Flowers, and McVey's supporters believe that he has a very good chance to restore the title to the colored race.
Promoter Curtis has lined up a strong cards to support the middleweights. The main event is scheduled for ten rounds and the preliminary card will be for 30 rounds, one ten, two sixes and two fours. Local favorites will appear in all of the bouts, two of them against two Japanese boxers who will come south from San Francisco. One of the invaders is a lightweight and the other a welter. Following is the complete card for Carlo Curtis' open air boxing show at White Sox Ball Park, Thirty-eighth and Compton, Saturday night—
Joe Peregrina vs. Jack McVey, ten rounds, 160 pounds. Andy Martin vs. Benny Kid Carter, ten rounds, 126 pounds. Joe Borola vs. Jiro Kumagai, six rounds, 135 pounds. Abie Miller vs. Danny Robles, six rounds, 124 pounds. Augie Curtis vs. Phil Villanueva, four rounds, 112. Kintaro Usuda vs. Phil Raznick, four rounds, 145 pounds.
