Water Bonds In Glorious Tr GREAT MEDICINE NEW 25c. SIZE 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1930 VOLUME 42 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1930 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? U. S. SUREPME COURT GIVES RACE A BREAK 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. THE DUNBAR HOSPITAL AFTER A week's stay at the Dunbar Hospital, for the benefit of those who are in need of hospital attention, may we not recommend the Dunbar. AS far as we are concerned, this is one of the most unique institutions in the city and deserving of the whole-hearted support of our group. THE DUNBAR hospital is owned and operated by Drs. Diggs and Whittaker, two of Los Angeles best prepared medical experts and they have spared no pains in making this hospital in accommodation and equipt- (Continued On Page Eight) 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. (Continued on Page Seven) New Executive Sec'y. For Urban League Lester B. Granger, of Bordentown Manual Training to Be Executive Secretary of Los Angeles Organization. The Board of Directors at its last regular meeting elected Mr. Lester B. Granger as executive secretary of our local Urban League. He will take his new position July 1st. For the past seven years, Mr. Granger has been doing vocational work in the state of New Jersey for the Bordentown Manuel Training school and in that capacity co-operated with the industrial department of the National Urban League, in the development of its economic program. "Mr. Granger's selection by our board," said Albert Baumann, president of the League, "is a decided step in the right direction. He comes to us with a store of knowledge as to our economic needs and with a full understanding of our social problems as well. We are indeed fortunate to secure the services of such a highly qualified executive. I predict for the League its elevation to a position as a medium for the adjustment of our economic and social problems in this community." To Hang Negro For Killing Negro 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." PORTLAND SINGER GIVES FINE RECITAL YOURDAN. MADAM JESSIE COLES GRAYSON Music lovers who attended the Jessie Coles Grayson recital at Mount Zion church Friday night were rewarded with one of the finest concerts ever presented in Seattle. Mrs. Grayson proved herself an artist in every sense of the word. She is master of the contralto voice which she uses effectively and without exaggeration. No mere voice would ever hold an audience and win the aplause as did Jessie Coles Grayson.—Seattle Enterprise. Mrs. Grayson will appear in recital at Eighth and Towne Avenue church, Monday, June 2 sponsored by the Sojourner Truth Welfare Auxiliary 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. By: A. N. P. 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. JAIL WORKERS IN WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE, WIS., May 20- For struggling against unemployment, and demanding work or wages, thirteen workers of this Socialist controlled city have been sentenced to six months in prison. The trial was marked by the rankest discrimination against Negroes on the jury. Although there is a considerable Negro population in this city, great care taken to exclude completely any Negro from sitting on the Jury. Panel. 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. DON J.

BABE'S EASTSIDERS AND AND DIANE GIRLS IN NIGHT BASEBALL: REPORT Preliminary steps have been taken which if completed, the Southern California Night Baseball League will for the first time have an opportunity to witness colored girl baseball players. The famous "Babe's Eastsideers" headed by Oits V. (Baby) Wiggins is still the champion team of the West. It has been reported that the Diane basket balllers have gone in for baseball and if so a series of games will be arranged between the two teams as preliminary to the League's games at Whittier, Anahiem, Riverside, Los Angeles and other League points.

All the Eastside fans are for him and as usual will follow him to the arena for there is no fighter in the game more popular with them than the colorful friendly Ace. Tom Kennedy now in full charge of Hudkins says: "The Wildcat has gone back to his real style of mauling—body fighting—which he abandoned at times trying to be a more clever boxer. "If Hudkins will fight Shade that way he will win just as decisively as he did when they had to throw in the sponge for Joe Anderson at the Olympic last fall," says Manager Kennedy. "Ace is a great fighter when trained right and he is going to be as strong as an ox when he faces Shade. "Strength has always been Hudkins' biggest asset and when he is rough he gets results. Ace was burned out for his Walker fight here and blew up. "That fight was the worst ordeal I ever experienced in the racket. I knew what he could do when he was right and it hurt me to see him such an easy victim before Walker's attack." HAYWOO D K. O'S.

O ONE WRESTLING PRO MOTER ENOUGH No competition will be allowed as far as wrestling bouts are concerned in Los Angeles, if the state athletic commission can help it. Fred Young, Jr. applied to the state athletic commission, December 30, 1929, lot permission to maintain and operate a series of wrestling bouts in the Stirling civil audition. Following considerable deliberations, the state commission, denied the application, giving as a reason that a certain promoter had pioneered the matches in Los Angeles and was deserving of a clear field in which to operate. Young then carried his application for the permit to the district court of appeal, where his petition was again denied.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION IF NOT FITTS WHO? In the approaching campaign for the election of a candidate to make the race for governor of the Sovereign state of California, all peoples are supposed to select their choice with but one aim in view and that should be for the man who will best serve ALL THE PEOPLE of this great commonwealth. 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 Attorney 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 great State he has won his spurs. Throughout his entry in public life he has stood unfaltering for the right and has proved himself as the best fitted servant for all the people. Glittering pomp and grandeur has never awed of served to cause him to interpret the law in any other manner than that it was for all people alike. The rich, the poor, the exalted and humble all have never had but the same break with the fearless and courageous Buron Fitts. Then with this situation being true; If Fitts is not the peoples man, for the Lord's sake just tell us who is? When a man with these qualifications seeks a higher calling it is hardly necessary 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 under the present regime for the past twenty years. We have never yet disappointed our clientile. When conditions were unfair we have at all times sought improved conditions, and this campaign 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 visit through the heart of the San Jauquin Valley, unfolded 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 all but rivals that of the valley of the Nile, we noted quite a few Negro farmers who are taking advantage of the opportunity and as a result 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 in abundance is gushing from the bowls of the earth. This is made possible by the power and the centrifugal pump. Record crops are made and harvested. King Cotton 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 organizations, is the farm just a stone's throw from Tulare owned by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Here is a proposition disignated as the "Odd Fellows Home" it is more than that; It is also an Odd Fellows Nursery because it insults 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 Odd Fellows have outstripped all others in their contribution to race progress. They meet in Grand Lodge Assembly, they wear their bright uniforms, but they meet for something real as practically demonstrated in the mighty San Jauquin Valley. 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 substructed something from the sleep period of millions. But it may be that modern man 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 sleep. 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 catalyst 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 follow the discovery of a synthetic substitute for sleep. Though man for ages has assumed that sleep was foreordained as a blessing to mankind, the scientist who makes sleep unnecessary will be blessed even more than "the man who first invented sleep." DIG DEEP 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 deep 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 a 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 "unfathomed caves" or borrowing underground, but for the richest treasures in literature, 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. What applies in the field of art and treasure-hunting is equally applicable to more workday affairs. Deep digging pays in business, industry, labor, housekeeping, 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 accomplish something in life. The interest shown by the people, through their representatives, in selecting justices and judges of the courts, shows that they are returning to the principles of the form of government intended by the founders, and depicted 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 denied because of his judicial bias in the decision rendered where the interest of the laborer was concerned, as much, and more so, because of his intolerant 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 law for the high and lowly; rich and poor, alike. There is no doubt, that if as reported, a judge sitting on the bench of a superior court allowed an attorney to use the language as alleged, that he will be remembered 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, even of the ones whose veracity was assailed because of their color. Neither are we expecting a "pat on 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 mob 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 of two year old boys 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 lawlessness by an element such as controls the situation at SHERMAN. Hawii seeks to be to the Pacific what the Hague is to the Atlantic and Europe. For the five years, what is now named the "The Institute 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 would 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 cosmopolite. 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 meeting in Honolulu such 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 all people for the worth which they might-bring to their commonwealth. Secretary of State, Stimpson, who headed the delegation from the United States to the Hoover—McDonald conference in London. Says that some of the proceedings of the Conference should be kept a secret. Should not be discussed except in executive session of the senate committee of inquiry. Why the secrecy? Secret diplomacy in a Republican form of government is a thing of the past. Time was, when a few thought for the mass. But that time has gone forever. With greater enlightenment has come a greater interest in the affairs of government. When the representatives of the people are sent, either as envoys or delegated to confer with foreign nations on an international question, the 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 as 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 made to end it in favor of archery. One of the writers of the period speaks of "quoting as too vile for scholars." It is noted, however, that scholars at picnics still take to it about as keenly 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 are made specially for the game with regulation weight, and finished as elegantly as desired, in gold bronze, nickle plate or aluminum. The school of experience has no class reunions. Money will buy almost anything, especially when it's spent for whisky. The only check an extravagant woman wants put on her activities is a bank check. The multi-millionaire with chronic indigestion is one man who wants little here below. Be not deceived. The car that comes out with new designs has the same ones on the pedestrains. Unless a man gets a great deal more than money out of his job, he is missing a lot of satisfaction. Sometimes it looks as though Europe's troubles were temporary, and and then again they seem to be chronic. By the time all the states get their good roads programs finished the world will be riding in airplanes. Fashion note says a woman should have a hat to match every costume. Still, she would never have anything fit to wear. people who delegated them want to know what was accomplished. And they have the perfect right to know. The statesman is behind the age who does not recognize the change in the tendency of the American voter to KNOW. True: The time was when the people entrusted the questions of statesmanship to the men they elected to solve those questions. This is a new era. The public schools and colleges are turning out a different brand of citizen from that of a couple decades gone. They are taking a personal part in the government of the country. Secret compacts will never be sanctioned by them and woe to the heads of government who are of the opinion that the "mass of the people are not able to think for themselves." That is a very poor policy to bring to the fore in an enlighten Republic. The people want to know, not only if they will "Hang separately or hang together" but who is to be the executioner. The "Old Timers Rolph for Governor Club" has been formed with Thomas P. Garrity; Albert Samuels; Joe Moreno; Alex Dulfer; Sidney Robertson; Ray Schuler; en Lycett; Ed. Healy; J. J. Whelean and James Britt as a nucleus. The Democrats appear to be taking more interest in the campaign of the Mayor than voters of the party with which he registers. Whenever you can listen to the conversation of a group of Rolph supporters you will generally hear it wind up like this. "I am a Democrat but have registered Republican that I might cast my vote for Rolph at the primary election." We remember that was tried once before. It only brings out that much more stronger the Republican vote. It refuses to have thrust on it any candidate but that of its party choosing, and resents alien interference with its "family affairs." There is the rumor of a Finn—Richardson combination is behind the candidacy of Buron Fitts. If the urbane and astute Finn can overcome the anti-pathy which San Franciscans hold for the former Governor he will have accomplished one of the greatest political feats of his career. The following pithy comment is by M. E. Tracy, collumnist 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. The way the rioters abused the body of their helpless victim was of small consequence compared to the way they abused their own intelligence. One could excuse them if they were trying to accomplish something 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 punish those responsible for such an assault on public decency. Senator Hiram Johnson, Knight—errant of American independence, had a verbal oust with Secretary of State, Stimpson who was on the "grill" at the hearing of the delegates 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 irate at the persistent questioning he had to undergo. During the verbal conflict over the increased Japanese naval strength, the Secretary was asked by the Senator whether Japan did not recognize the 5-5-3 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 cresising rapidly. I am not a militarist and I would favor a limitation of armament. But I 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 to obtain a treaty." What a splendid thing it is to have as a representative one who is fearless and has the "tenerity" to think for himself, and in the thinking: has in view the interest of his constituency at home as well as his broader constituency Nation. Prohibition still holds the spotlight. Proponents and opponents of the enforcement act are endeavoring to show why the measure should be amended or repealed, and the other side clamoring for stricter enforcement. 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 principal responsibility for dealing with the liquor question. I believe that the way out of the present difficulty is to recognize clearly the fundamental difference between the nature of the federal government and th State government. I 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 assistance to those States that desire complete prohibition against invasion from the States that do not." Said Dwijet Morrow. Proponents of the League Court are having a rough journey. Bigoulders are being thrown in the path. Abraham Lincoln was wise in listening 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 together 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 interests in communities where there might be an overlapping. 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." "If taking a drink is immoral, how about Wesley, the saint of Methodism, who according to Lamar, Georgia historian was known to swallow a "hooker" of whisky. Thus it goes back and back. When the question is eventually settled lets hope it will be settled right and for all time. Now Texas threatens to dismember herself in 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 is 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. Even the terse phraseology of former President can be changed. His 500 word history of America to be sculptored on Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, has been improved by suggestions from the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. At this writing Texas has gone on record with another lynching bee. This time a landowner who heard that one of his Negro tenants were about to quit the farm sought to prevent it by an armed gesture. He was accompanied by one other. The Negro seeing them approach and noticing armament concluded to fight it out. He killed the land owner, took the weapon from the other and barricaded himself in a cabin. An armed mob soon gathered, which was easy, it being but fifty miles from the town of Sherman scene of the former riots. The Negro fought it out with them till his ammunition gave out when the mob rushed the cabin they found nought but his bullet ridden corpse. This did not daunt them. They took his bloody remains dragged them through the streets to the Negro section; built a pyre at the Negro church and burned the body. FINE FOR TEXAS CIVILIZATION? Friday, May 23rd, 1930 BY THE DEACON DOES THE SUN RISE? "The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar." Genesis 19 Chapter 23rd Verse. Scientist say, the earth goes around While the sun stands still; But the Book says it rises. Now believe whom you will. When Joshua went to war With the Amorites band, Being a man of God, He told the sun to stand. "And the sun stood still And the moon it stayed." Until Joshua's mighty hosts Its enemies had slayed. If the earth was moving, And revolving at will. God's prophet would have told The earth to stand still. Now, the Good Book says; "He maketh his sun to rise." But the scientist say; The sun is stationary in the skies. The apostle Paul, a man of God Told the Ephesians in this behalf. Not to ever let the sun. Go down on their wrath. Scientists say, the sun never rises, They also say, it never goes down; That the earth revolves on its axis, Constantly moving around and around. How these unbelieving scientists, Are able to look and see. Farther than God's anointed prophets, Is a mystery to me. We have searched the Book From beginning to end. And find nothing to support The theory of scientific men. Whitaker Wins Spurs SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTES Leon Whitaker, Deputy District Attorney, has firmly planted both feet upon the second rung of the ladder of success as a public servant. We say "second rung," because his first two months as a member of the staff of the District Attorney might properly be called the "first rung." During the period mentioned. He was very busy hearing complaints in felony matters, issuing complaints, assisting A. B. with preliminaries, doing preparatory case work, and representing the D. A.'s office at important inquests. That he has made good thus far, has lived up to expectations, has survived the scrutiny of his many, many critics and observers, has leaped across the pitfalls, and has established part of the county's system, is attested to by the spoken and written testimonials of his superior officers and by the increasing number of references to him and to his acts, appearing in the daily and weekly press. But, on May 15, 1930 last week, occurred that which inspired this news item. In the courtroom of the township of El Monte, Whitaker prosecuted his first case. It was a jury trial, took only one day, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant. The defense had two prominent Los Angeles attorneys. It is significant to note that the prosecuting attorney was the only colored person in the courtroom, and the only colored person within, perhaps a radius of five miles. The episode was an important milestone for Leon, but it was a more important milestone for the Negro, for it was the first time in the history of the West that a colored raan, in open court, prosecuted, all other persons in the court being white. It establishes a new precedent, and is a very encouraging sign for better days ahead, indicating the ultimate victory of tolerance, justice and intelligence. In response to an Eagle interview, Whitaker said, "The experience was not an unpleasant one. I formed an acquaintance with the Judge, the bailiff and other court attaches. The defendant, Fred Fleck, and I, even shook hands after the verdict came in. I am convinced that I like courtroom work on the side of the People. With regard to the color angle, my racial identity is obvious and accepted, so I don't think of it while doing my work. I am simply a Deputy, discharging my sworn duties, absolutely impartially, according to my bath and to my best ability." The California Lion congratulates Deputy District Atty. Leon Whitaker upon his most recent success, and upon the way he is measuring up. The Eagle is vitally interested in the Whitaker experiment, realizing fully the force of its possibility as a precedent, and will continue to observe its progress. ```markdown ``` Entered as Second Class Matter November 17, 1923 at the Pct Office at Los Angeles, California, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

'Tis the first time in many years since we've had one such. STUDENT EDITORAL "The more you study, The more you know; The more you know; The more you forget; The more you forget; The less you know; Why study?" 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. NOTICE TO ATHLETES All boys wishing to enter the Y. M. C. A. track meet at Los Angeles, May 30 see Mr. Clarence Mills 485 S.

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.

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.

McDuff Traveling Deputy of W. 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.

Upton UPTON SAYS This Talman fellow seems to have stirred up a regular hornets nest among them' teeth pulling U. S. C. D. D. S.'s. Now! He has got himself in a fine fix, if his molars start aching he sure will be running an awful chance should he drop in a dental chair of an U. S. C. graduate, you see this thing of getting a bad acting tooth yanked out is pretty risky business, even when you are on friendly terms with those heartless creatures, but when you have arroused his ire, no tellin' what will happen, that's about as bad a crime in the eyes of a dentist as slapping a judge in the face who is trying you for murder. There is something wrong some where in this dental college deal. The same able student performed some intricate work on my snaggs. Brother! I fill swear by student Charles Emis he knows his stuff he also did my sister's dental work and the strange part of it, this all happened in this same so called prejudice U. S. C. My sister and I are both Negroes and proud of it, honest we are. The Railroad Clatter congratulates Porter C. H. Washington on the anniversary of his birthday which comes in the Month of May, your birth stone is the Emerald, symbolic of success in love. SANTA FE CHIEF EXCESS TRAIN WILL CUT RUNNING TIME Plans for cutting 2 hours from the running time of transcontinental trains to Los Angeles and San Francisco were revealed last week by the Santa Fe Railroad, which announced that beginning June 1st it would speed up its extra fare train, the Chief. The Chief, it was announced would make the westward run to Los Angeles in 56 hours. The eastern run will require 57 hours and 10 minutes. These schedules are 30 minutes faster then contemplated when plans for reduction in the time were made at a conference last month. At the same time the Santa Fe announced that it will cut the running time of its ordinary fare trains to California from 63 to 61 hours on or about June 1st, and said that competing railroads contemplated the same reduction in time. This cut is one hour greater than that decided on at the concurrent which was attended by officials of the Santa Fe, the Northwestern, Union Pacific, the Rock Island and the So. Pacific Systems. Summer time is here and most folks have dispensed with all forms of heat. Although I dropped in on the gink that operates the baker heater and found him busy shoveling coal in his shirt sleeves. I asked him why all the lusty labor on so hot a day, and he gladly gave me and ear full between shovels. Says he as he put his trusty shovel to one side and grabbed a poker I have just been informed that they are going to make quite a change on two of the coast line trains; with that he shut the baker heater door sat down and wipped the sweat from his face with a Pullman towel. I moved closer eager to hear the latest in railroad gossip; Yep they have been trying to get rid of the Padre for some time, but that blankety blank Chamber of Commerce in Oakland wont stand for it, but you know Upton you can't get by them big railroad guys all the time generally what they want they get; it seems that they sat up night and day trying to figure out a way to please the Oakland Chamber of Commerce and get rid of the Padre at the same time. Well did they do it? You see it was becoming so hot down in the baker heater room that I wanted to get the oope and get out in the fresh air, for be it known I still had on my red flanels. Did they do it, well they are going to run the Padre out of Oakland as far as San Jose then is where the fun begins; from San Jose to Los Angeles the Padre and the Lark will be one big train, but the funny part o fit as soon as the Padre leaves San Jose it looses its name and becomes the Lark, ohl said I you mean that they will consolidate, yep, I been trying to think of that word ever since you been down here, and with that he got up and put some more coal in the old baker heater, and the fire was sure roaring when I climbed back up the stairs wringing wet. CHICAGO—NEW YORK BOAT TRAINS PRAKED. Through boat trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Chicago to New York City pier, to connect with departing steamers of the North German Lloyd Line, are reported proving a successful innovation. Mr. C. H. Waldot, local representative of the steamship line, said that local bookings for 100 LARK AND PADRE TO CONSOLIDATE Europe, Bremen and Columbia have been struck by the low tide service. ESTABLISH AIR FERRY SERVICE IN FRISCO A novel feature in fast travel, operating in opposition to the Southern Pacific Ferry's between San Francisco and Oakland has recently been established in the Northern City. This new Company has put in operation what is to be known as an air ferry; it is an airplane boat and can run on both land and water, but makes its speed while in the air. The air ferry crosses the bay between San Francisco and Oakland in the remarkable time of 6 minutes and carries a load of 6 passengers on a trip. These ferries are doing a land office business, the fare is only 75 cents and the actual time saved on the trip is well worth the price of the trip. They also operate to Vallejo and Salt-salitus. A passenger who wishes to make last minute connections with trains on either side will find this fast service made to order for him. PORTERS TRANSFER CARS OAKLAND TO FRISCO It has been reported that Pullman Porters are now put in charge of dead head cars that are transferred from Oakland to San Francisco by the way of San Jose. Here to fore these cars were locked up at Oakland and permitted to ride without porters to the other side. In the new order of things a porter will get pay for deadheading. 14.000 ON BARGAIN TRIPS TO EUROPE When the railroads are planting to reduce their fares the big steamship companies are putting a higher rate into effect. Having already had their bargain season on in full swing for some time; in the 48 hours' ending at midnight May 14th 14:000 passengers will have left on 12 liners. PORTERS FIND NEW CAR O. K. During the past month an effort has been made by the management to obtain porters who were efficient enough in the art of pressing clothes and performing buffet and sleeping car service; all this has come about when a new type of service was established on the Lark. A combination buffet and sleeping car with lounging accommodations carried in the center of the train. The company first fired out Chinese porters who soon proved that they were not capable of handling this type of service. The colored porters were brought into play on the new cars and from all appearances have proved satisfactory to the management. Different porters have been given an opportunity to try their skill on this car and the list has finally been eliminated to the following porters who are at this time in charge of operation of the new cars on the Lark: H. A. J. Presscott, T. D. Starks, L. G. Green, J. White, and Eddie Meyers. For some time E. L. Arnaud was assigned to one of the late cars but has since lost out for some unknown reason. It has been rumored throughout the district that the new car will soon be displaced and put on the Paire. Just how true this is the writer can not say. One hears many rumors among railroad men. LARK TO CUT ITS RUNNING TIME A new time card which will go into effect about the 1st of the month will cut the Crack Coast line Train. The Lark schedule down to 12 hours. Such was the report that the writer received from one who is in a position to know. T. D. YANGY VERY MUCH ALIVE Recently the writer was informed by a particular friend of Mr. Yancy, that his health was in a veryprecarious condition and that he had not very long to remain on this earth. Since this report was published, Mr. Yancy has got in touch with the writer and informed him that he is still very much alive and has no thought of passing out at present in fact Mr. Yancy claims, that he will live to eat the goose that picks over a whole lot of its so called friends grave. The report come from a Mr. Edwards. NEW SANTA FE SUPERINTEN DENT Mr. Tuttle former Supt. of the coast line division of the Santa Fe has been made Station Master. J. BELL BUMPS SAM MILLAR TO NO AVAIL Sam Millar was bumped last week from his line to El Portal, but it was only good on paper according to Mr. Bell he has it over Sam in seniority but why bring that up. H. B. Wilson was gently removed from his line by what is commonly known as a bump. Mr. Wilson has not been able to get located since. And they at last got the devil. Mr. Dan Hood. Lawo. was removed from his line to Fresno. Calif. by a bink If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened 847 Central Avenue who goes by the name of Harry knight. It seems that Harry's line up in the rasin country was discontinued, and of course Harry did not bid back on it. well for this same reason he was entitled to what is known as a bump, and bump he did, but who, well it had to be Dan. Now Mr. Hoop for the first time in over two years is at a loss just what steps to take. The porters on line 28 came in for a little lecture when it was learned that they were not putting their head boards away. T. D. Starks was seen driving at ease along Central Ave. with a good looking lady in his car. oh! no! it was his wife. J. F. Howard was relating a tale of woe about being displaced from his line, but ended up in stating that he had bid in car 75 on the Lark. W. B. Holland has at last given up the most lucrative car and line in the district and has gone to his first love, the Fresno line. Daddy Jack Wortham is still hitting the ball in the same old regular manner and states that he is feeling younger every day in the year. A multitude of young boys are being hired as Pullman Porters, and instructor Eldridge has his hands full. Franklin should keep what ever he knows about dirty windows to himself from now on. A still tongue makes a wise head. V. Tate has given up his long line to Fresno. SOUTHER PACIFIC NEWS CLARENCE JOHNSON APPOINTED ED FIFTH VICE PRES. IN CHARGE OF WESTERN DIST. OF N. ASSO. & B.

This organization has developed into quite a factor in labor activities. The National Association has been growing in leaps and bonds and has recently taken over the Milwaukee and Northwestern Locals. To show how wide is the scope of this organization following is a line of the present officers: James P. Durden, National Pres. Chicago; Charles Searcey, 1st Vice-Pres. Eastern Dist.

Time will not permit the writer to go into further detail with the list of officers but in the next week's issue a full line up of all connected in a official capacity will be mentioned in this paper. 29 Pullman Porters File Suit Against Company Intense interest is manifested in the activities of 29 Pullman porters in St. Louis who have perfected for civil suit against the Pullman Company because of dismissal for refusal to vote in the Company Union and sign the "Yellow Dog Contract." H. E. Fields, 15 years in the service, is the first of the group to receive hearing in the Circuit Court on his complaint of illegal invasion of his constitutional rights, a violation of the contract existing between the Pullman Company and its porters and a denial of his occupational interest and property rights. Despositions taken for the company show that its witnesses were unable to truthfully defend the position of the company when questioned by its own attorneys. Lehman and Lehman, according to E. J. Bradley, 5th Vice-Pres. of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, in charge of St. Louis zone. Fields testified that on Oct. 31st, 1926, when asked by the Porter Instructor W. P. Smith if he had voted on the Company Union and he replied "no," he was haled before the district superintendent, A. V. Burr, who upbraided him for entertaining an official of the Brotherhood at his home and charged him with being an associate of the "Yellow Belled Bradley and Rancolph Gang." On the following GEORGIA GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES STIRRED BY BROTHERHOOD ACTION Communications received by Frank P. Walsh, labor attorney, from a responsible citizen in Georgia indicate grave concern is felt by local authorities over the continued agitation and propaganda disseminated in the south by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in connection with the lynching of Pullman porter J. H. Wilkins at Locust Grove Ga.' April 5th. Among those received offering cooperation is the following letter: Commission on Interracial Cooperation 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga. May12th, 1930 Mr. Frank P. Walsh, 225 Broadway, New York City. My dear Mr. Walsh: In a news release appearing in the Savannah Tribune, Thursday, May 8, I noticed that you have been retained by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to prosecute the case of J. H. Wilkins. Pullman porter who was found tied to a tree at Locust Grove. Ga. April 5th. I was present at the third coroner's request and since that time have had interviews and correspondence with L. D. Hightower, Sheriff of Henry County (Locust Grove is in this county.) I am glad to report that Mr. Hightower seems very eager to get at the bottom of this very baffling tragedy. You will appreciate that Henry County is small and almost wholly rural and consequently has but a very small amount of money available for investigations of this kind of case. I am sure that Sheriff Hightower will welcome any investigation of this case. If our office can be of any service to you please call upon us. Leading citizens are responding liberally to the Wilkins Defense Fund which is sponsored by a Citizens Committee, and the Brotherhood claims that even those porters who remained out of the organization and were known to be "Company men" are expressing themselves in better terms against the lynching of Wilkins and are contributing to the fund. A Profitable Offer Made to the Public On another page of this newspaper appears a display ad which cites the splendid offer now being made by Dr. W. F. Watkins, located in the Blodgett building at 2510 Central Avenue. Dr. Watkins comes to the public with an exceptional offer of good dentistry at low rates. According to Dr. Watkins, owing to the stringency of the financial market and low industry situation he has decided to give those that need dental treatment an opportunity to obtain it at the lowest cost. Dr. Watkins is a dentist with years of experience and has been quoted as an authority on many stages of dental work. A visit to his office will soon assure you of his ability to take care of your needs in this line. morning, according to Fields, he reported for duty, set up his car and was in uniform receiving passengers when Mr. Hattson, an agent for the Company ordered him off the car to report to Superintendent Burr. Fields says he reported Nov. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th and could not see the superintendent; but was finally told by Mr. Grosse, another official, that, if he would vote for the Company Union, his job would be immediately restored. He further states that several days after superintendent Burr told him he would send for him when he got d—good and ready. Attorney R. N. Brooks, representing the porters, states that he sees no reason why the discharged porters should not be victorious when the case is finally heard.

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE 500 Riverside Drive New York City, N. Y. May 3rd, 1930 Mrs. Sadie Cole, Dear Friend: It will not be long now before June 11th, when I shall sail once more for my native land after an absence of three years. I am sailing from New York by S. S. Mauretania, Cunrad Line of South- hampton where I will transfer to a South African bound vessel leaving Southampton on the 20th of June. From Southampton we will stop at Madera Islands 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 scheduled to reach Durban on the 13th of July. I expect to reach home the same day because my people live only thirty-five miles from Durban and can be reached easily by bus. During these three years I have had many new and interesting experiences. While studying I have spoken in several parts of the country before school and church groups. I have been very much impressed by the democratic spirit shown in the colleges between professors and students. I have come in contact with many fine Christian personalities that have renewed my confidence in myself and in the value of my work. I am returning to my country with a broader vision of my work and with tremendous eagerness to try out with the young people some of the educational methods which I have become acquainted with during my stay in America. I hope that our work in South Africa will be a means of promoting a friendlier international spirit linking up the young people of America with the young people of South Africa. With all good wishes. Cordially yours. SIBUSISWE MAKANYA. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING That Buron Fitts seems destined to achieve his gubernatorial goal at the August primary, is the conscensus of editorial opinion that has followed his entry into the governorship contest. Newspapers of the state withholding comment until after Mr. Fitts' statement of candidacy and his opening campaign address had been carefully studied and digested, are now advising their readers as to their decisions. THE LOS ANGELES TIMES holds: "Fitts is worthy of the votes of all Californians who would see their state as a whole progress sanely and steadily along the road that destiny has chosen for it." PETALUMA ARGUS-COURIER Discussing Fitts' address on Republican party harmony and the party's responsibility to President Herbert Hoover remarks: "He (Fitts) is determined, apparently to force the Young-Johnson outfit into the open and compel them to either renounce Hoover or come out into the open in support of the president. Fitts also, it will be noted, throws down the gauntlet to William Randolph Hearst and his string of newspapers, now, definitely against Hoover. It took genuine nerve to do that—but then, no one ever accused Buron Fitts with lack of nerve." After an arrangement of asserted inequalities in the state primary law the Dinuba Daily Sentinel comments thus: "The editors of the Daily Sentinel, who are naturally Republicans in their leanings, will register as such and support Buron Fitts for the Republican nomination for governor at the August primaries." "If you wish to do your part in breaking up this state of lethargy," observes the Carpinteria Herald. "If you wish to lift the standard of thought in the state of California; if you wish to add a stimulus to our body politic which will not only bring up the standard of ideals in the state, but at the same time establish a more healthful condition for our business and industrial activities—vote for Buron Fitts for the Republican nomination for governor." In the late A. Y. Tully's discerning political column of the Los Angeles Evening Express was this comment: "Certain folks seem to be making capital of Buron Fitts' candidacy for Governor on the ground that he should remain where he is until Los Angeles equals the "Spotless Town." They have forgotten that he was induced to give up the position of Lieutenant Governor upon the condition that he would remain only long enough to clean up the district attorney's office. Who shall say that he has not performed his part? Under Buron Fitts an old mud scow has become a ship of the line. Fitts' aspiration for a larger ship not only is natural, but commendable." THE SAN DIEGO UNION has this to sav: "We need a man at Sacramento with aggressive character, the genius for organization and the real integrity that Mr. Fitts has displayed in Los Angeles." After some discussion on the Julian case the Banning Record observes: "District Attorney Fitts is blamed for stirring up all this trouble in the best families. In the old days it would have been possible to have everything soft-pedaled, but Mr. Fitts has a different way of doing things. If the people of California want an honest deal in state government they will have a chance to vote on such a proposition in August." In newspapers of the Copley chain appears an editorial commending Fitts from actively campaigning for the governorship in reality are conducting the campaign for him. "There come to mind the ancient adage that 'Actions speak louder than words,' the editorial states. "Buron Pitts has announced his candidacy for the office of governor and in the opinion of the Enterprise he will be elected." begins an editorial in the Riverside Enterprise. 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 representative, 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 information as to the status of things in general. We had he pleasure of meeting that bright and hustling young attorney, H. J. Meadows at his offices on Montgomery * street. Attorney Meadows is truly foraging to the front in 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 last Monday to dinner at the beautiful and palatial house of his sisters, Mrs. G. W. Newman and Mrs. M. Lvons, 1154 Clayton street. We shall not soon forget this very splendid occasion and the splendid menu and attentions bestowed upon us by Mr. Guest and sisters. Others who were present on this occasion were Rev. E. G. McGruder. William Maclamore; W. H. Wilkerson. It was our pleasure also to be the dinner guest on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. Maclamore, #52 Pixley street. Here we met one of the finest and most hospitable couples in the world and we must bow in humble acquiescence to Mrs. Maclamore's genius as a chef. She is in a class to herself. MEETS SHASTA LODGE I. B. P. O. OF W On Sunday afternoon we met with Shasta Lodge I. B. P. O. E. W. The Lodge had on this occasion a special initiation and after the ceremonies incident to the same we were invited to speak. Which invitation was responded to and from the after expressions and the interest throughout the entire time of our speaking we could but say it was a high light in Elkdom for that day. Sunday evening we became a part and parcel of the Odd Fellows Annual Thanksgiving Day program, held at the 3rd Baptist Church, corner of Hyde and Clay Sts, where we were called upon to speak. It was a big day for the Odd Fellows and the program was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Among others whom we met were our former townman, Wesley Peoples, and A. P. Alberga the doughy legionarre and booster for Buron Fitts. We also ran across former editor of the Western Outlook, John L. Derrick, veteran employee of one of San Francisco's largest insurance companies, and was only too sorry time would not permit our acceptance to his cordial dinner invitation. We were busy throughout the 72 hours of our time in the city in conference with fraternal, public and quasi public officials, all in line with the editor of our profession. Messers, Baldwin, philosopher and Watkins, editor occupying the same floor at 617 Montgomery St. like we upon our visit to their doors gave us a hearty welcome and extended courtesies. IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Mrs. Lizzie Shannon E. 21st. St. where we were located is the widow of our late friend and at one time coworker, H. Shannon. Mrs. Shannon and her son Melvin a veteran of the World War, made us welcome and with our aid, Mr. Solomon, were their guests during our stay at the Bay Cities, Mrs. Shannon is one of those fine and hospitable citizens who is beloved by all who know her, for high character and genuine sincere endeavor and consideration of every human being. Her friends are and about the Bay Cities and California are legion. We paid our respect to the office of the California Voice, where we found the managing editor, Mrs. Daly and her Assistants right on the job and going forward with the North's leading weekly. We met the Rev. Hubbard pastor of the leading race Baptist Church and enjoyed quiet a chat with him upon various current topics. We were only too sorry we were unable to accept his kind invitation to address his congregation upon the Sunday evening during our stay. Rev. Hubbard is able and progressive and has built a wonderful work in this section. our work in this section. Our next visit was with Mr. Wm Stephens at his place of business which is admitted to be the peer of any other business conducted anywhere by any people in this entire country. We found him ever the same congenial and considerate person of days gone by. Alyly assisted by his brilliant daughter he seems destined to eve greater heights than he has ever attained before. Mr. Stephens' business of which we speak is a modern and up-to-date restaurant. We made many calls amongst our clientile in Oakland there were many that time would not permit us to make of whom we shall mention later. AT FRESNO, CALIF. Here we met with the religious, civic and political leaders and came to agreement for a general meeting at a later date. They are those with whom we have kept in touch with for many years, with the exception of Dr. Wallace, the progressive President of the Forum. We found in him a clean cut gentleman who stands for real progress and economic freedom of the (Continued on Page Eight) SINGER AND BRIDE-ELECT HONORED Tuesday afternoon the major portion of feminine Central Avenue Gardens treked to the home of Mrs. Idell Bateman, to pay homage to the two guests or honor. Mme. Minnie M. Jackson and Miss Gladys Bell. All afternoon until way past the hour in the evening, the busy hostess was kept at high tension, smiling the host of callers in and out. Mme. Minnie M. Jackson, sister of the hostess, who has recently returned to her home, from Virginia, had her first opportunity of viewing the Gardens at full bloom. Miss Gladys Bell, a budding blossom, product of the Gardens was on this occasion honored with a linen shower aganist her coming wedding in June. Beneath the orchid and yellow umbrella that shielded them from the crepe ribbons that fell in copious showers, linens enough to last the young couple for many seasons were brought by admiring friends. It was indeed an occasion memorable in the history of the Gardens. "Don't You Know" The Crown Hat Mfg.

Forty Singers Sign Long Term Contract With R.K.0. Manager Hall Gives Two-fold Celebration (BY IDELL A. BATEMAN) Celebrating a victory of achievement, Emanuel Hall threw wide the doors of his new home at 720 East 27th street Monday evening, welcoming the group or singers that he has been identified with, as manager, for the past year. This group of singers will be remembered as the sensation of "Hit the Deck" although the part played was only a small one. So well pleased were the directors' and officials of R. K. O., with the ability of this group, to deliver what they wanted in the manner they wanted it, that they immediately signed them to do all the chorus work in "Dixieanna." Having completed ten weeks, doubling for the most of it, in this operettg of which Bebe Daniels shares the stellar role with Everett Marshall, the mind of the group naturally pondered, "What next?" altho it was not hard to see that with iron-like talons of confidence, the directors were binding themselves indefinitely with this group. Mr. Hall was held in conference. Out of this there was submitted to the group a tentative year's contract, guaranteeing three months at a time. What the future or this origination, that has a place no similar organization has achieved in filmimology is hard to visualize. Certainly they have interpreted the Negro in Music, as only the Negro can, which was demonstrated in "Hit the Deck." In "Dixieanna" they have effected the "Kings English" in a manner, more satisfactorily than "is 'ignness' own lineage could. Mr. Hall is a born dreamer. His deep-set, tense eyes are those of a Seer. He is seeing things these days. Ever and anan he radiates his enthusiasm of inner sight to those of his group. "My family," he calls them, and they in turn, follow and trust him as children. Monday evening these forty children showered down on "Daddy" and Mrs. Hall out of the abundance of their heart to the new home. Linens linens and then more linens—imported linens, domestic linens enough to make the heart of any housewife glad and Mrs. Hall wore a smile that wouldn't come off. An unusual evening in rejoicing in song and speech was spent just among themselves and those near and dear. Delicious and dainty refreshments were served, Mr. and Mrs. Hall proving themselves host and hostess of par excellence. GRAY PUPILS ACTIVE Pupils of John A. Gray local piano pedagogue, have been appearing successfully before both white and colored audiences. Miss Zula Stevens played at the home of Dr. H. D. Rouley of the Junior College last Friday evening and also before the L. A. Civic League in one of their recent meetings. Mrs. Robert V. Scott played on a program last week that was given by Mrs. Frank Hartcell; Dance instructor of the Town House. Other students who have appeared recently with success are Suanna Davis, Largeta Clairette and William Stevens. Radio-Film Studio Aids Colored Talent Radio-Film Studio Aids Colored Talent Responding to a demand for colorful talent for radio and talking picture work, the training studio for these two baranches of amusement work conducted by Satiric Pictures in cooperation with the Hollywood Microphone Studios at 6404 Sunset Blvd. has announced the opening of a class exclusively for colored amateurs with some speaking and dramatic ability. The studio states that it uses practical methods, training the players on radio playlets which are later to be used on the air, and making voice tests of each player week-by-week, thus keeping a permanent chart of his or her development. The success of scores of colored players in pictures, and over the radio, has created a new and uncrowded field for those who can speak plainly, and have a comedy or dramatic instinct, according to Mr. Tebbetts, the studio director, who is now interviewing colored men, women, and children, from 14 to 40, who believe that they are qualified for these two entertainment fields his office hours being from 1 to 8 P. M. Friday and Monday. OLE VIRGINNY BY IDELL A. BATEMAN 'Carry me back to Ole Virglnny, Dah's whah de cotten, corn and sweet potatoes grow; Although this particular Red Cap would have me believe that Virginia was not "southern" in its policy toward the man of color, that persons from New York and neighboring Yankee states had acknowledged that Virginia in its treatment of his kind was on a par with that accorded in those places, yet even while he discoursed in such glowing terms of this Southern state, the city of Richmond in particular, he led me along to the waiting-room designed and built atrt. labeled in great black lettering that there might be no mistake, "Colored." There was something sinister, foreboding in the atmosphere of that room. It was the very first "Colored" waiting room in my life's experience and I felt that if I sat on one of those beaches provided, that all the blood that had left my face and receded from my heart might well up and burst forth in a great, formidable unquenchable stream. Quickly, I saw to the placing of my baggage and then, as though stifling, I rushed to the freedom of the outside air. Ever out there under the azure sky of twilight, there was no peace. The blood rushed back in forrents to my face, throbbing in my temples, swelling the veins in my neck. The Red Cap had followed me there. He stood beside me, a pleasant face, likable man of soft brown skin and naturally curly hair. Middleaged, I should judge, although his sunny, optimistic disposition imparted a lasting boyishness to his face, there was a twinkle of merriment in his eyes. It made me feel far removed from him and aged. My eyes smarted, there was a straining of the muscles along my shoulders and arms, all at once I felt overburdened and tired. His voice was a drone to me now, I could not follow him. Out of the jumbling of words, there came an occasional intelligible sentence, now he was saying, "Of course I was born and reared in Virginia, I have been to other places, however, but have never seen a place I'd rather live." My sister. Never have I been so glad to see her as now. For the first time I look at the Colored waiting room. I perceive that it is really not so bad as waiting rooms go. The while building was of modern structure and the part set aside for Colored was in keeping with the rest. In comparison to waiting rooms or like purpose that I was to know, I can see now, that it was indeed palatial. A colored taxi-driver is solicited by the courteous Red Cap. He gives one the impression that "just as a favor I'll take you." I draw the conclusion that he has finished his days' work and is on the way home to food and rest, therefore not anxious to be bothered. Afterwards I learned that many men otherwise employed use their cars to pick up passengers from the trains between times. His sang-froid manner persists however when he arrives at our stopping place. He gathers up all the baggage and carefully deposits it three flights up before he evinces any thought of departure. Then without haste, as unassuming as he came, he melts out of the scene. "Twould take more than a cannon ball to ruffle that man's serenity." REPENTANCE My tears have washed my body clean As I emerge from endless night I view the beautiful serene Through eyes that glitter with delight. Pray give me strength to carry on To face despair, contempt, defeat. Should they appear. But few have known Rapture so utter and complete. Would that, I had ten thousand tongues. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened "We'll Work Together" WITHOUT RESPECT TO SEX CREED OR COLOR The California Mutual Finance Corporation, Ltd., with head offices in the Story Building, has opened a branch at 2710 S. Central avenue, and officers of the company state that it is their intention to finance and build a number of industries where all classes of help professional, technical clerical, and common laborers will be employed without discrimination of any sort. They are about to commence erecting a cannery at Palmdale almost immediately, but will need not only alone the help necessary to build the cannery, but also will need a good number of canners and pickers and a new office staff for this new industry. This cannery is intended to operate practically the entire year. While it twil open operations with the canning of the company's own crop from the famous Figdalo Farms, at the end of the figseason they propose to continue operations with peanuts, sweet potato, toes, chickens and turkeys. They state every position whether on manufacturing, farming or sales ends will be open to all people of our race. This company has been in existence since 1924, and its officers and directors are mature men of banking and horticultural experience. DIVORCE SUIT DWINDLES UNDERTAKER'S FORTUNE (Continued from Page One) claimed that the state of his health was such that required treatments at least eight or ten times a month, and that they cost him $7.50 a treatment. Mr. S. P. Johnson was put on the stand and he testified under cross examination by Attorney Tyler that the stock or share transaction between the defendant and Mr. Griffin was on record in his books. He further testified that the property in Watts belonged to the firm and that the machines used for funeral cars were owned by different members of the firm who were paid for their use, but who derived no profit, as the amount paid was just sufficient enuf for the up-keep of the cars. The court finally decided the marital tilt by awarding Mrs. Conner $62 a month to be paid in two installments. A request was then made by the defendant's attorney, Mr. Jones that his client be allowed to obtain his clothes from his home, claiming that heretofore Mrs. Conner had refused to allow him to take them. The court stated that the arrangements could be made between the two attorneys. Many prominent people were present at the hearing held in Judge Shuarer's court. The case consumed ap proximately two hours, starting in the morning and terminating in the afternoon. YOU'RE NEXT Members of the Laboremus club (formerly St. Agnes Guild of the Episcopal church) who sold flowers Mother's Day, were the Misses Aurelie Nickerson, Bessie and Wilbertha Hosmon, and Gladyce Greenaway. Others who assisted the girls were the Misses Ester Rabb, Edythe Hudell, and Miss Mabel Kennard, supervisor of the club. * * * * Mrs. Margaret Norman, wife of Victor Norman, formerly member of the Lone Wolf Club, is back in Los Angeles, after sojourning at Denver, Colo., for a year.

E PLURIBUS UNUM CLUB NEWS— Members of the E Pluribus Unum club honored their mothers, Mother's Day, with a buffet luncheon and program at the home of Miss Aurora Slater, 1534 E. 33rd street. Very delicious refreshments of potato salad, cold meats, stuffed celery, pickels, olives, stuffed eggs, hot rolls, ice ice and cake were served. The program ran along the lines of Mother's Day, and consisted of a recital by Miss Lula Perdue; a "Mother's Day Address," by Mrs. Dorothy Hoskins-Benton; solos by Miss Ruth May, "Little Mother of Mine." and "Wonderful Mother;" and a talk by Mrs. Donglass, mother of Miss Reverda Woods. It has been brought to light that Virgil Benton, and Charles Bruce Messrs. Clifford Reid, Kermit Brown, were responsible for the disappearance of one certain lemon cream pie from the kitchen of Miss Slater durment. Now, we ask you, is that nice? ing the "Mother's Day" entertain- THE CLARION CALL Arriving home several days ago from that famous up-state trip, we have spent considerable time reacclimating ourselves to Los Angeles and its environments. The trip was a beautiful one, senic and otherwise. We had between lengths and handshakes with old time friends, relatives, and meeting new acquaintances, time to observe and reflect. From the assortment of handshakes 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 handed 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. I suppose you who read and attempt to keep abreast of the times have, by now, acquainted yourselves with the facts, furnished by the census breean, that this great state you're so fortunate to be dwelling in has, hear me, doubled in population in the past ten years. And yet friends and fellow citizens unless you circulate yourself about in congested centers, such as San Francisco, Oakland and vicinity, Sacramento, Watts, and your own home town, Los Angeles or whatever hamlet you live in, why you can't of course, see or believe this important news, But figures never lie. That's so. Our trip, could not have been taken at a more opportune time for observing purposes, and as we traveled through county after county of the great Sacramento and San Jauquih valleys, which by the way, are larger than Germany, France and Belgium combined, and observed not acres, but miles of beautiful virgin land, studded with massive oaks, untouched by the plow, fertile and green with just nature's growth and attention. And again as we in pilgrimimages along through this same territory witnessed other miles and miles of highly improved and developed farm land, growing and raising the finest of everything, hogs, dairy stock, cattle, grain in some sections four feet high. As we traveled and saw in the county of Yuba the great cherry, peach, almond orchards and rice fields. As we breeze through Tulare and Fresno districts inhaling as we traveled the fragrance of orange blossoms, and the essence of new mown hay, and witnessed with our own eyes for the first time, cotton popping out of the ground. As we in journeying along further observed that 99 per cent of all the land under cultivation being cultivated by 99 per cent of every kind of a human being from an American born white to a Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese and Swede who are, our brain started functioning and our thoughts drifted to the Negro and farming. We wondered why with good, cheap land close at hand and plenty of water, 99 per cent of the group preferred to cling to the congested city centers, many of whom now are existing saddled down in some instances with a liability asset in the shape of a second handed home on a 50x60 foot lot costing them from $4,000 to $5,000 and worth about half that amount, heavily mortgaged, while they themselves receive small wages. We wonder why these conditions obtain when for far less money on much easier terms they can acquire at present but not tomorrow perhaps, good land desired, from 1 to 1000 acres or more, preferable 20 to 40, locate on same and in a few years become through careful management, prosperous and well to do. To those seeking opportunity who have not as yet found themselves we might tell you less than 50 per cent of heart and cream of California is under cultivation. If ever a state offered the Negro, farming opportunities, under favorable environments and living conditions that state is the growing State of California. The Negro is slowly being forced out of the more remuneral lines of occupation and being gradually shoved down the economic ladder. He must take a stand—a definite positive stand, and that stand must be along economic lines and economic nomics starts with land ownership and development. Richard Logan in Shasta County with 320 acres. Tom Smith in Yuba County a few miles from Marysville with 160 or more. The T. L. Woods estate in the Imperial Valley of 240 acres, Scott, Sims and Toney Love of and about Tulare, all holders of substantial parcels. William Brown of Sacramento, who the past year grained 160 acres. Charles Harris' farm in Tehanna are a few of the group holding the farming fort awaiting the arrival of reinforcements. All holders of worth while acreage are a few of the one per cent or less of satisfied Negroes owning and operating valuable farm lands in the state. Unless we as a group exercise our inherent right and begin buying, acquiring and developing farm lands in poll groups or as individuals while the opportunity is yet ours to do so and while land, good land, valuable land is cheap, we're going to find ourselves even in California with all its opportunities being made the ox and mule of the society and forced to accept, as is already the case, in many instances, lines of occupation that are injurious to family health and causing many to be classified by insurance companies as hazardous risks which will automatically deny proper family protection from an insurance standpoint to say nothing of the bringing about of other conditions that will tend toward stagnating the progress, development, and growth of a group which has contributed to this country much in the line of labor and service and received such little along the liness of economic compensation. The sooner the Negro learns that he must pioneer, make contact and invade outlaying districts when in their infancy instead of waiting for his Caucasian brother to develop them, without his assistance, and then bar him out because he didn't help pioneer the project, the sooner prejudice is going to disappear and the economic status, the barmoriter of Negro progress, is going to rise. The Negro then instead of being as is now the case, in many communities bared, ousted and made fun of. will be looked upon and considered an asset to that community in which he lives and to society in general. Former L. A. Girl Dies in Kansas City Word was received here Tuesday of the sudden death of Mrs. Antoinette Young-Jackson, wife of the late Prof. R. G. Jackson, for many years director of music at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, and who passed away a short time ago. Tuesday, about 3:30 while Mrs. Gertie Paul Brown and niece, Miss Inzib Bennett were enroute to Kansas City, a messaged was received by Mrs. Cordella Bennett, that Mrs. Jackson has succumbed following the effects of an operation. Relatives and friends in this city are grief stricken as the deceased was a native of Los Angeles and during her girlhood days was very popular and well loved by all, owing to her sweet, gentle disposition. At the time of her death, Mrs. Jackson who received her A.B. degree at Kansas University last June, was directing music at Quindaro, having taken up the work of her illustrious husband. Flowers and words of conglence are being sent to Mrs. Cordelia Bennett, aunt, at the home, 302 N. Benton Way. The funeral will be held Monday or Tuesday in Kansas City, and the body of Mrs. Jackson will rest beside that of her husband, that being her last request.

SOFT TONE (By: CARL ECHOLS) Elite society has decreed that certain manners are the earmarks of the true gentleman—gentleness, courtesy, polish. But since fashionable society is often a two-faced superficial thing, those most successful in wooing her are apt to be the most clever hypocris. There is the case of Mr. Soft Tone. Never a person used the king's English more fluently than he. He was the personification of refinement; yet, whose tongue was more foul than his. Whose mind grovelled lower than his when in the presence of his real consorts? There's even a dignity incussing. He was popular at college, a leader in church and fraternal 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 gentlemen'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 second nature. The behavior of this man was a joy to behold. With all this, he lacked the inner essence of true gentlemanliness, that true gallantry that one often discovers in a tobacco-chewing, tenperlosing rustic. Mr. Soft Tone was ust an ugly soul hidding 'neath the garb of a noble. The fellow, more concerned with the outer trappings of nobility, had failed to cultivate the inner counterparts. Gentlemen are usually born, not made. If you are a boy or girl in the fifth or sixth grade here is an exciting Page—Seven LE story of a boy and girl in a far away country. "Stand where you are, Pran, and look!" Nush said in a tense whisper, raising an arm and sweeping it toward the north. "Signals" she said a little breathless, "IThe signal fires!" The story of Pran and Nush and the meaning of those signal fires in their country today is told in Pran of Albania by Elizabeth C. Miller. And if you are a boy who likes mysteries of the sea you will enjoy Shanghai Passage by Howard Pacey. "Smarting from the disgrace of expulsion from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, Stuart Ormsby goes aboard the freighter 'Nanking, outward bound for the China coast, Mystery, mutiny and the shadow of sudden death brood over the rusty decks of the old steamer, Strange figures are found among the riff raff crew—all of them involved in the mysterious dangers that threaten the 'Nanking." Or if you are a girl who likes to read about girls Kristin by Nelia G. White is especially for you. "The Tollivers are the happiest and noisiest of families and Kristin is the only fair, quiet one of the dark-haired, jolly lot. Then, she discovers that she is not a Tolliver at all and that no one knows who her mother and father were. Her sensitiveness and pride leach her into many misunderstandings with those she loves best until her eyes are opened to the fact that, although she was not born a Tolliver, she is as much beloved by them as any of her foster brothers and sisters."

THE REPUBLICAN STUDY CLUB IT IS reported that there are those around town who are circulating a rumor to the effect that Mrs. Helen. Werner has stated that through the medium of the Republican Study Clubs, she is getting a firm hold on Negro voters. Such a statement is without foundation, unless that foundation be malice and pernicious intent of purpose, to destroy the unanimity of an effort on the part of the colored women of this City to organize themselves with the object of studying their citizenship rights, and keeping abreast with civic and political activities to the extent that they and theirs may achieve greater recognition along these lines. MRS. WERNER, with Dr. Elzora Gibson, have furnished the inspiration and encouragement for this organization, and it is our hope that the women, who have pledged their support to the club, will not be dismayed or confounded by this propoganda that is intended to destroy their effort along the line of organization for study instead of barter.

FRIENDS OF MANY YEARS STANDING HAVE REUNION Last Sunday in company with our business manager and Miss Cornelia Starks of Cincinnati, Ohio, we journeyed on a return trip to Santa Barbara, where we had the good pleasure of meeting an old-time friend and fellow townsman in the person of Rev. Frank Harris, pastor of the St. Paul A. M. E. church. Years ago when we both thought we would be among the shining lights of journalism, we had never met until this day. Frank had deserted the troth for the cloth but we have stuck it out thus far and the time for change we cannot see. However, we must confess Frank is a real preacher and while worshiping with him on last Sunday we enjoyed one of the best sermons we have ever heard and amid surroundings in keeping with just what a model church should be. We will write more about Frank Harris in another issue. In San Francisco (Continued from Page Six) group. Others whom we met were G. W. McNicols, William Bigbee. Jr. James Gary; Nick Gordon and D. A.

AT HANFORD. CALIF. Mr. Lloyd Welcher, W. Meyers and others joined us in a conference at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Meyers, and arrangements were made for a huge meeting at a later date. Mr. W. Mc Pherson former resident of Los Angeles one of the progressive business men of Stockton, owner of both a wholesale and retail clothes Cleaning Emporium, and also the owner of valuable city property and a赃age just on the outskirts of Stockton, was the first man whom we talked to on our brief visit to Stockton. Mr. McPherson is an old friend and firm supporter of the Soaring Eagle and as a consequence was right in with our way of seeing things, and we were at home, and Stockton will be the scene of our activities as in the past. for the progress and advancement of the interests of the Colored people.

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.

COLORED FANS PREPARE TO PACK WHITE SOX BALL PARK JACK McVEY AFTER WALKER'S CROWN Jack McVey, colored middleweight champion of the world who meets Joe Peregrina in the feature bout on Carlo Curtis' open air boxing show at White Sox ball, park the night of May 24. is the best colored middleweight since the days of Tiger Flowers, according to San Francisco 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.
