Young and Rolph TrailFitts VOLUME 43 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored—Proverbs 13:18. LIKE VALIANT soldiers who fight because they believe they are right, members of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club are on their last stretch. The home base is in sight and this small group of individuals who formed the nucleus of this organization believe as firmly to day as they did in the beginning, that they are right; and that not might, but right will win. The Club has held political meetings all over the Eastside. These meetings have been conducted on a high plane. It has not presumed to know anything about the personal habits or social discrepancies of either of the candidates running for governor, hence it has not attempted character assassination but instead has tried in every honorable way to present the case of its candidate to the public in such fashion as to prove that he is the Abraham Lincoln of his day and time, and that his election to the high office of governor will save the California Ship of State from a terrific smash on the financial rock of disaster towards which it is apparently headed. A small body of the Eastside Fitts for Governor Club moved into Bakersfield last Monday evening and claimed a large strip of political territory for its candidate. On Wednesday evening the call came from San Bernardino asking the club to come over into Macedonia and help save the city for decency. The call was heard and a little caravan moved into San Bernardino and the little warm burg with Hamilton and Mabra at the bat will roll up a big majority vote on Tuesday, August 26 for BURON FITTS. WHY THEY SUPPORT YOUNG THE FEW outstanding leaders of our group who by some stretch of the imagination deem the present incumbent, Governor C. C. Young, the logical man to carry on at the head of our great State, are furnishing many and devious reasons for their selection. Some say that their only reason for deciding on the Governor instead of Buron Fitts, who is the one man in the public limelight in state politics who has shown a disposition to deal justly toward the Negro, is because they claim, a certain white individual was thrust upon them as their leader and they just couldn't follow, hence had to take Mr. Young whether or not! Now to our mind this argument is nothing more nor less than an admission of their mental slavery. In order to support Mr. Young for governor, it was necessary for them to swallow Marshall Stimson, who is avowedly a Negro hater and his boon companion, Joseph Oberwise, chairman of the Young for Governor campaign of the Fifth District, who is none other than the individual who issued the injunction papers against the five families, namely: Reeves, Howard.Bass, Smith and Taylor, attempting to oust them from their homes in the West section of our city because they think that the location is too beautiful and high-class for Negroes. Consistency thou art a jewel! AMERICAN LEGION MAKES HISTORY ONE OF THE finest pieces of work that has been accomplished in the State of California was done this week at Sacramento at the American Legion annual convention when a resolution drafted by none other than our own Officer Coleman, who majestically presides over traffic at Ninth and Central, was offered and adopted condemning lynching and mob violence. The way we see it, it looks like the spirit of Buron Fitts is already guiding the Ship of State in California. VOTE FOR MRS. BRAMLETTE MRS. FANNY E. BRAMLETTE is a candidate for the County Central Committee of the 62nd District, and it is hoped that every woman will come forward and express their appreciation of the fact that this is woman's day by casting a vote for her August 26th. SOVIET UNION FROWNS ON RACE PREJUDICE A WIRELESS dispatch to the New York Times tells how the Soviet Union frowns on inequality and race prejudice, as presented in a Russian newspaper under the heading: We Will not allow the Ways of Bourgeois (Continued On Page Four) TO THE NEGRO VOTERS OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA GREETINGS After eighteen years of "glad handling" in the beautiful city by the Golden Gate, San Francisco; where he has been supposedly serving the people of the city as Mayor of all the people, now comes Mayor James Rolph with a burning desire to be, so he says, Governor of all the people of the state of California, there we are in this our number Two Bulletin pointing out to you just what it means to you if you are going to be a party to elevating one who has outlived his usefulness as Mayor of this city and now seeks to foist his political machine on the people of this state. Notwithstanding the fact that the Mayor has under his control all departments of the city government, which includes his Civil Service Commission, which commission is and has been continuously in the courts because of alleged infractions, and violations of the charter, it is a well known fact that studiously as possible, the Negro citizens have been completely ignored, this in face of the fact that the honorable mayor has repeatedly said he desired to give all groups some part in the affairs of the city. This is further demonstrated with the knowledge that during these 18 years by reason of vacancies occurring on the Board of Supervisors, the mayor has had the appointing of not less than ten members to fill such vacancies and in making these appointments the mayor has seen fit to give what he called recognition to certain groups, consequently every nationality has been thus honored except the Negro. This holds true also as to the Mayor's other selections for other more or less important places in the city government. IF NOT FITTS ---WHO? Last call the big Berthas have been turned loose, for results we must wait until the votes are counted. However, it is apparent Governor Young is on the run. It being generally conceded on all hands that he is the 3rd man in the race. The race is between Fitts and Rolph with Buron having the edge. This is not just talk neither is it-guess work. It comes from a careful, scientific, state-wide poll conducted by experts. For our group Rolph is the end of the trail. He never has and he never will take us seriously in the affairs of government. No better line on Mayor Rolph is needed than his 19-years as mayor of San Francisco. There has been no reason advanced, why Fitts should not receive our support. In fact opponents have been so void of argument they appealed to prejudice, like old Ben Tilman of old—They hollowed Texan. Such bunk is only practiced by the weak and silly, like the hill billys of the South. Negroes of today are intelligent and will fail to heed such silly prattle. We are proud to predict an overwhelming vote from our group to Buron Fitts. They are on their way chock full of appreciation for the past and the brightest hope for the future. Full of self respect, disdainning bought influence. They look over their shoulders and treasifully say— "If Not Fitts—Who? Hear Fitts at Jefferson High Monday Night New York, Aug. 19—By A.N.P.—Captured and taken to the police station on a charge of robbery, Romillion Fernandez. 26, of 104 West 115th Street, attempted to shoot his way out of the police station, Thursday night, and after shooting two policemen, was himself killed on the spot by a wounded officer. Fernandez had been seized with three others in attempting to rob the Mecca Sweet Shoppe. 1429 Ogden Avenue, the Bronx, and had been taken to the Highbridge Station. While the police questioned Fernandez and took his pedigree, the bandit seized the revolver of a detective, Harry Bloomfield, and wheeled, firing one shot at Policeman Richard Elfers. Bloomfield, seated at a typewriter, lunged forward at Fernandez, but was stopped with a bullet through his body as Elfers fell, he fired one shot which pierced Fernandez' heart and the robber grooved dead in his tracks. Bloomfield is expected to die. The others held with Fernandez were Richard Diaz, 22, of 118 E. 111th St, Daxid Eissberg, 28, of 248 East 115th Street, and Ralph Breez, 22, of 68 E. 114th Street. The three companions of Fernandez were not in the same room with him when the shooting occurred. They were being questioned by other officers in another part of the station." By A.N.P.

She was discovered by a railroad watchman a few minutes before the train was due, and was arrested and held for investigation. MIXED LOVE AFFAIR HAS TRAGIC END IN MISS. Jackson, Miss, Aug. 18-By A.N.P. —A love affair between George Robinson and a young married white woman whose name is being concealed came to a tragic ending here Thursday when Robinson was shot and killed by a deputy sheriff as he attempted to escape from the local jail, and a few hours later the woman was sentenced to serve sixteen months on the Hinds County Farm. The affair had its beginning, according to reports, about two years ago, and the lovers held trysts at a house located in the Negro section of the town. Frequently the tall well-built Negro man was seen to enter the house followed a few minutes later by a slightly built, bobbed-haired and comely white matron. Neighbors observed this and gossiped. Whites noticed it and wondered, and Wednesday afternoon, an offices (Continued on Page Two) SIR JOHN BURTON Who will close his winning campaign in a monster rally at Jefferson High School next Monday evening This meeting promises to be the greatest of the entire campaign.

Again has been proven true in the case of Prof. Claud V. Pitts, who for the past twenty-one years dwelt among us and who for the most of that time has been without father or mother, yet in spite of that handicap, Mr. Pitts has wended his way round by round up the ladder of success. Just recently he was discovered by the renowned Dr. Hamilton Douglas, the celebrated teacher and promoter of dramatic are singing, dancing, etc. Dr. Douglas sang for four years in grand opera with the world famous, Enrico Caruso, and is the president of the International Artists' association. He is very jubilant over the fact that at last he has found in Prof. Pitts the man he has been looking for who is capable and worthy of a responsible position, so a few days ago Dr. Douglas got together his Board of Trustees consisting of Judge Haas and several other of the Superior Judges and the celebrated Dr. Stone, and in his absence and without his knowledge they elected Prof. Pitts, president of the colored International Artists' Association. Therefore we are congratulating Mr. Pitts on this highest honor that has been conferred upon him and (Continued on Page Seven) Denied Passage; Sues Air Line for $10,000 Seattle, Washington, Aug. 19-By A.N.P.-Claiming that he had been refused passage on a plane owned and operated by the West Coast Air Transport Company, R. S. Stewart, Night Club entertainer, has filed suit against the company for $10,000.

RESORT MASQUERAD- ER SENTENCED By A.N.P. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug., 19—William Moore from Nashville, Tenn., was arrested while masquerading in woman's clothes at Pacific and Tennessee Avenues. He was attired in a light green costume, and Patrolman Christmas, thought he was escorting a woman to the city hall until he arrived at headquarters and removed the prisoner's hat. (By The Negro Welfare League Of California) In order that you may know the truth: about Governor Young, we address the following. If there are any of you within these counties, who have in mind of voting for the Governor, except his paid hirelings, we point out— 1—That Governor Young even before his election to his present high office has ever ben the apostle of racial discrimination, segregation and inequality, demonstrated by his attitude in the matter of the acquisition of certain properties in the city of Berkeley, his home town, by a Colored Masonic fraternity in 1923, and that his Alameda County political manager at this time, M. E. E. Nicholas was one of the leaders in opposition to our group at that time. 2-That when Ed. Glass, then a resident of Oakland had before the governor his appeal against extradition to Oklahoma, the eGovernor without due consideration allowed Glass to be extradited and as a result was allowed to be returned to Oklahoma, where Governor Young knew he would and could not receive a fair trial and Glass is now doing life sentence in that State. 3-Notwithstanding the fact that the Governor has appointed over three hundred women and men to his many commissions and boards, and in face of the fact that there are some excellently qualified citizens of our race in Alameda County, the Governor's home county, No single Negro has been recognized as meriting any consideration at his hands. 4—Mr. Frank C. Sykes, the Governor's San Francisco County manager, is the owner and manager of two skyscraper buildings in this city, employing therein scores of elevator operators and janitors. Some time ago Mr. Sykes is also a member of the Board of Harbor Comissioners and an official of Chadwick and Sykes, Engineers, employers of much labor throughout northern California and in no capacity has any Negro ever been employed. The Negroes of the State have now an opportunity of bringing to the governorship of California a man of real outstanding ability, who believes in giving the Negro a chance to participate in the affairs of the State. He is a Real War Veteran in every sense of the word. He has proved his worth as a soldier and official of the State and District Attorney. As Hugh E. Mc Beth, prominent Los Angeles attorney, in an open letter dated July 3, says: "With the limited resources at his command Buron Fitts has done more to date in proportion for the colored people of the state than either Governor Young or Mr. Rolph, in my opinion." CITIZENS OF ALAMEDA CO., CAN'T UNDERSTAND POSITION OF DR. HUDSON, OF LOS ANGELES. The Colored citizens of Alameda County, the home of C. C. Young cannot understand the position of Dr. H. Claude Hudson of Los Angeles, in exposing the re-nomination of of Governor Young, who is a member of the real estate firm of Mason McDuffie of Berkeley. This firm has been for years the most bitter opponent of colored citizens acquiring property in desirable sections of the college city. It is thought that Doctor Hudson did not thoroughly inform himself of the private server of the Governor. The Colored voters of this city and county where Young is known are decidedly anti-Young. Citizens of Alameda County. M. As the primary approaches on next Tuesday the remarkable showing of Sheriff to succeed himself in the office of, Sheriff for this county, has been one of the highlights in the local political situation.

Hour THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION Friday, August 22. 1930 Prominent St. Louis Wo man Charges Husband With Cruelty St. Louis, Mo. Aug. 19—By A.N. P—William O. McMahon, private detective and erstwhile general manager of the Douglass and Standard Life Insurance Companies, and recently engaged in undertaking business, has been a mighty cruel and barbarous husband, according to a petition for force killed by his wife. Mrs. Nell Broen McMahon, in the Circuit Court this week. Mrs. Brown, daughter of Prof. Chas. A. Brown, prominent Knight of Pythias and principal of L'Ouverture School here, sets forth in her bill, that on numerous occasions she flogged her, pounding her in the face with his fists. Since their marriage in St. Louis fourteen years ago, McMahon has been surly and quarrelsome, and frequently has been a wise epithets at his wife in the presence of their children and others, she related. The plaintiff further states that Mc Mahon possesses a violent and ungovernable temper. On numerous occasions, he kicked the furniture over, pulled up rugs, tore pictures from the wall, tore paper into small pieces and strewed it throughout the house. One of his usual stunts, said Mrs. McMahon, was to throw kitchen and dining room utensils on, the floor causing her unnecessary worry and distress. Two children, William O. McMahon aged 11, and Tanner B. McMahon, aged 8, were born of the McMahon's wedlock. Mrs. McMahon complains that her husband locked her out of their home at 4138-a West Belle Place, and refused to allow her to associate with her children and prevented her from getting her clothing and personal belongings. Other charges are that while Mc Mahon is able-bodied and is employed as a private detective, earning $250 a month, she has been unable to support his wife. Mrs. McMahon declares that he has not given her but $20 and two pairs of stockings since last Christmas. She asks the court for separate maintenance and custody of her two children. McMahon could not be reached for a statement.

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know. It Happened Declares Chicago Has No Negro Gangsters Washington. Aug. 19—By A.N.P.—Delegates to the annual convention of the National Bar Association which was held in this city last week who might have thought that every time a Chicagoan reaches for his handkerchief, he may pull up with a gun, were told by Assistant State's Attorney Euclid Taylor that they were many per cent wrong in their notions about Chicago and its crime. Mr. Taylor represented his superior, Judge John A. Swanson, state's attorney of Cook County, who had been asked to address the lawyers on crime conditions in Chicago and the Negro's relation there to. "Crime conditions in Chicago and while serious, are greatly exaggerated," emphasized Taylor. In support of the demurrier, he read from statistics compiled by the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and issued in a report of the Chicago Association of Commerce, which showed that Chicago, instead of leading the country in homicides, was 36th. Chicago's homicide rate is 12.7 per cent 100,000. But Memphis, Tenn., shows a rate of 66.8 per cent; Augusta, Ga., 54.7 per cent; Birmingham, Ala., 51.3 per cent, and Jacksonville, Va., 46.9 per cent. The homicide rate was reduced per cent from 1928 to 1929, and the 1929 rate was only slightly higher than the average for the country as a whole. According to Mr. Taylor, who has made a special study of the Negro's connection with crime, there is no such thing known to the law-enforcing agencies of Chicago as a Negro gangster. "In the field of deliberate mass murder for profit," asserted the prosecutor, "the Negro is unknown." An exact relationship between economic status and crime, so far as the Negro is concerned, has been discovered by the state's attorney's office. Investigation has served to show that the Negro who was born in Chicago or who has lived there a sufficient length of time to adjust himself economically, displays a minimum of criminal tendencies, and that the problem with the criminal. Negro is almost entirely with the group which has migrated from the south, which is unable sometimes, either because of lack of opportunity or lack of training, to adjust itself to the new and strange economic conditions. The analysis of the statistics for crime during the past twelve years," indicated Mr. Taylor, "show that when the labor market is brisk, crimes committed by Negro diminish, and that they increase when that market tightens." Mr. Taylor also implied that the Negro finds himself important in the city's crime statistics because of difficulties usually present in giving him a fair trial. "The Negro criminal faces the rapidly moving courts of Chicago without friends, or funds and with a record of unemployment upon which are cast no friendly glances," Mr. Toylar ex-acte said. "He court the crowded room packed with what, what he imagines are unfriendly spectators and a jury of whites, cause his friends to be reluctant to appear to testify in his behalfe." One hundred fifty delegates attended the convention. The constitution of the Association was amended so that Atty. Raymond Pace Alexander of Philadelphia might be re-elected president. His election, made on the nomination of Former Senator Stradford, Chicago, was unanimous. The Association will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, next year. Catholics To Meet In Detroit Washington, D. C. Aug.—Secretary H. M. Smith of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States announced today that elaborate preparations have been made by the Detroit branch of the Federated Colored Catholics for the entertainment of all who will attend the Sixth Annual Convention of the organization to be held in Detroit from August 31st to September 3rd. The Rt. Rev. Michael J. Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit, is credited with having given valuable assistance to the local branch in its efforts toward making the event the greatest in the his life. Colored Catholic activities. "In fact," Mr. Tucker, "the entire Diocese of both white and colored Catholics of Detroit are interested in the event and neither pains nor expense will be spared in the entertainment of the many delegates and their friends who are expected from all sections of the United States." Chicago Negro Business Men to "Carry On" By A.N.P. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 19—The spirit of the business men of Chicago seems to be shaken not in the least by the trouble which the banks of the city have been experiencing. Business generally has been little affected. While the rearranging of their banking accounts has been necessary in some cases, business men are quite generally of the opinion that Chicago will continue to forge ahead with characteristic speed and confidence. That they believe in their ability to weather the severest storm and still carry on is attested by the following statements from a number of leading business men." He Ellis Stewart, Secretary, Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company: We feel very optimistic as to the future. We believe that the failure of the Binga bank was not a reflection on Negro business, but rather reflected the economic condition which prevail in our community and the nation at large at this time. We believe that business conditions will improve rapidly. Chas. D. Murray, President, Murray's Superior Product Company; I believe that later down the line we will feel the results of our bank failures rather keenly. Conditions this winter are certain to be made harder because of their closing through the present employment. I am not very optimistic that they be better there will be a decided improvement in business after the first of the year. William E. Wright, President, Underwriters Mutual Insurance Company; If the people of the community don't support their community banks, they will be up against it for their mortgages. Downtown banks have declared that the Negro district is a restricted district in which they do not care to make loans. If Negroes carry their money to downtown banks, they will rip up their community hampering its development and brightening its future. A. L. Foster, President, Personal Finance Corp.; Negroes cannot afford to lose faith in themselves and their leaders because of a single business failure. The race must gain experience in order to advance and that experience must come about as a result of our continued participation in business. Because of the closing of the Binga Bank, our other bankers will be even more cautious in the handling of funds intrusted to them. John Ralph Cowan, Veteran Real Estate Broker: The bottom has been touched. From now on there is bound to be a continued improvement in business and its management generally. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams: The bank will reopen we are certain, stronger and better than ever. Wilson Elks Lose Important Court Decision. Richmond, Va., Aug. 20—What bids fair to throw the Independent Protective Benevolent Order of Elks of the World into litigation and confusion began Friday, August 8th, when Judge Groner of the United States District Court, sitting in Richmond, Va., handed down a decision in favor of the Virginia Grand Lodge of Elks and dissolving the temporary injunction which the Grand Lodge of Elks headed by Finley Wilson had obtained against the Virginia Grand Lodge sometime ago. The decision important to Elks all over the nation places the legality of the present Grand Lodge of Elks headed by Wilson in jeopardy and in effect establishes the Virginia Grand Lodge as the legal Grand Lodge of I.P. B. O. E. of W. Briefly a summary of the situation reveals that some twenty years ago, the original Grand Lodge of Elks whose charter was issued in Virginia lost the charter through default of payment of a certain fee or tax due the state. When the Grand Lodge was reorganized they secured a charter from the State of New Jersey ignoring the old charter. This knowledge has been kept within the breasts of a few of the old guard and when Wilson intrenched himself in office and the old guard felt he was planning to hold the grand exalted rulership indefinitely or perpetual for the Grand Lodge in Virginia reviving the original charter. Wilson and his group then courted Perry H. Howard and W. C. Houser entered suit in the United States at Richmond to restrain them from meeting as Elks. A temporary injunction was granted and the Virginia Lodge was ordered to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent. The decision just rendered by THE MARRIED WOMAN Miss Edythe Smith, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Smith, 736 East 161th street, became the bride of Mr. Christie Strickland, in one of the season's beautifull weddings. Sunday, July 27th, at Independent church. The general setting of lighted candles, choir boys and the choir in their robes, was perfect. The ceremony was performed by Rev. N. P. Greggs, assisted by Rev. Clayton Russell, and was the popular modern double ring ceremony. The soloists were Mrs. Ethel Thomas, Mr. James Miller and Miss Jugeta Allen, accompanied by Mr. Samuel Brown at the organ, and Mr. Lawrence Lassiter, violinist. The bridesmales, the Misses Lillan Barbee and Dorothy O'Nell; the maid of honor, Miss Marguerite Robinson; matron of honor, Mrs. Walter J Benton; were all exquisitely gowned and dressed with picture hats and slippers to match. These young ladies were escorted by Messrs. Scott Chapman and Lawrence Johnson, while Messrs. Antonio de Almeida and Felton Floyd were chief ushers. Mr. Ben Jones was the groom's best man. The bridegroom and the ushers, wore English formal afternoon wedding attire. The ring bearers were Master Bobbie Sanford and Master Leonard Beavers, and the flower girls were little Miss Eleanor Bujol and Leola Beavers. The bride made a very charming picture garbed in a floor length eggshell satin gown, made along Greckian long, tight sleeves, with very wide waistband, embroidered in seed pearls. The tulle veil and cap of Chantilly lace were held in place by orange blossoms. Three quarters white kid gloves were worn. Lovely more pumps with rhinestone buckles completed the plique. The bride carried a showeder bouquet of white roses with a few orchids nesting in among them. The wedding gown was designed by Mrs. Eva Houston, the modiste. The bride was given away by her father. After a reception in the annex of the church, a very lovely wedding supper was served to the bridal party at the home of Mr. Clayton Russell, 5504 Morgan. The bride and groom are very popular members of the younger set, and have established their home at 1336 1-2 West 36th street. Judge Groner upholds the Virginia Lodge's contention of being the original Elks Lodge and makes it possible for them to restrain the Wilson adherents from using the name, insignia, and of Elks according to officials of the Virginia Lodge. The plan it is said is to force Wilson to abdicate or to start a rival organization of national proportions, Jas. T. Carter and J. R. Pollard of Richmond were the lawyers of the Virginia Grand Lodge. Woman Dies at 109 Castleton, Vt., Aug. 19—By A.N.P. —Mrs. Eliza Hunter, who in the recent census was recorded at 109 years Near Future There will be little chance of work on the Boulder Dam construction job before next spring. This information, obtained by the Los Angeles Urban League from the office of the Chief Engineer of Construction at Denver and from the Department of the Interior at Washington, will disappoint many local applicants who had hoped that work on the big dam would begin this Fall. Although preliminary surveys are now being carried on, no founds have been appropriated as yet by Congress for the actual construction, and it will be at least early spring before all the bids are in and the contracts awarded. Government authorities advise strongly against any person going to Las Vegas, Nevada, looking for work at this time, unless he has money to support him for several months. Work on the dam will be classified under three general heads, all of which will be open to colored workers who prove themselves qualified. "Civil Service jobs" will include bookkeeping, clerical and stenographic work, and drafting jobs. These workers will be selected from the civil service list, and those wishing to apply for such work should take the government examination, if they are not already on the eligible list. "Registered positions" include those of survey and instrument men, electricians, machinists, skilled carpenters, steam shovel engineers, and the like. Special examinations for them will be announced in the daily newspapers after Congress has appropriated funds for the actual construction work. "General labor and unskilled employment" will be handled by the contractors to whom the contracts are awarded. Nothing can be done to secure this kind of work until the names of the contractors are annuenced in the papers and this will scarcely be done before the end of winter. L. B. Granger, the Urban League Secretary, advises those who are interested in jobs on the Boulder Dam project to keep in touch with the League's office at 2504 So. Central Avenue, for the industrial department is making every effort to secure reliable information regarding conditions of work and necessary qualifications, and it plans to establish direct contact with the employers when contracts are finally awarded. Surgeon's Skill Saves Lover's Life (By: A. N. P.) New York. Aug. 20.—A delicate operation on the brain performed by surgeons at Fifth Avenue Hospital Wednesday gives a 22-year-old lover one chance in a thousand to survive the fury of an enraged husband's attack. The girl young blade, Francisco Barrera of 1775 Madison Avenue, had been a boarder with the Clayton family at 61 East 105th street. Old story, boarder got overly-friendly with landlady, who was young and pretty—husband steps in, orders boarder out. Husband Sterling Clayton and wife Floyencia, take their 2-year-old son, Sterling, Jr., and move to another apartment. But Barrera is persistent if anything, so late one night, when husband came home from the post office where he is employed, he discovered wife and ex-boarder together, taking showers baths, of all things. Husband angry, goes back to job to think things over. The more he thinks, the worse he feels and suddenly, he finds an ax in his hands. So Clayton dashed back home where he again found the missus and the boarder in an even more intimate and friendly pose. Sailing into action with his ax poised, Clayton let his blows fall where they would, and unfortunately for Barrars, those blows fell on his head, cutting out an eye, stashing his face, and crushing his skull. Wife fled precipitately from the scene after being cut in trying to aid her paramour. But Barrera needed no further urging to rush screaming from the house holding his banged up head. Some good Samaritan dis covered him, bundled him into a taxi cab, and took him to the hospital. Detectives Frank Spottek and Jervis Dyle arrived Clinton on a charge of felonious assault, and she arraigned Wednesday before Magis trate Burke in Harlem Court, he was held without ball. old. is dead at her home here, after a week's illness. She is believed to have been the oldest person in Vermont. We are in receipt of the programs of the examinations given last month in Paris at the different schools and conservatories and we think that some of the information might be of interest to our readers. First, let us explain that the courses given in French schools of music are divided into sections and each section ends with an examination. I one passes such an examination with success he is permitted to go on with the next section. There is no limit as to the length of time required to pass any section. it all depends upon the preparation or the student and his attitude of grasping the subject, all one amount of work that he does daily. Some students spend several years in going from one step to the next. How different America where there are two years the year and four year courses through pupils are rushed regardless of their progress. The examinations are not easy as the following sample will show. The first is called the Brevet D Aptitude, and means that the student has a certain amount of talent which might be developed further but that he does not yet know enough to teach. We give herewith a sample of such a test for a piano student. ONE Execution. Technical exercises. Major and minor scales in octave, third and sixth position. Arpeggios on the triad, and seventh chords in all positions and inversions. Two Etudes. Two inventions of Bach, a piece selected by a jury one month before the examination and three other pieces which includes a classic, a romantic and a modern. All pieces must be analyzed in writing with historical data and the same must be sent to the jury on examinations at least eight days before the test. The required piece this year that had to be learned in four weeks was the Finale from the Fantasie in F sharp minor by Mendelssohn. TWO Solfgee. Musical dictation. Musical theory. Reading from manuscript, not es at the rate of four to the heat of the metronome set at 60, in the G. F. C elf first line, third line and fourth line. To sing at sight and transpose at the same time a selection of manuscript music into one of five keys. Mental audition. This means that one must commit to memory a melody of not more than sixteen measures in ten minutes time and sing it for the judges. The student never hears this melody until he sings it. THREE Harmony. A figured bass is to be harmonized. Another bass is to be harmonized and figured. A Melody to be harmonized. FOUR Musical construction. Explain the plan of the following forms: A figure, canon, prelude and figure. A suite or partita and all the pieces used in the suite. A Sonata, giving its chronological evolution the binary or ternary form, allogry, andante, menue or scherzo and rondo. Theme and variations. History. Oral and written. Here are the questions to be answered: 1— Who are the principal French Clavencleists? Write of one in particular giving information of his life and his works and include his vocal, dramatic and instrumental works in the analysis. 2— What do you know of the Well Tempered Clavichord of Bach? Write one of the preludes from memory. 3— What do you know of the works of Beethoven before his departure for Vienna? 4— Speak of the words of Mendelssohn for piano. Analyse one of them and give the theme of another. 5— What do you know of the Pantil. 5— What do you know of the Papil lons of Schumann? 6—Speak of the Sonatas of Mo rnet for stage Analyze one of them zart for piano. Analyze one of them. Such an examination is spread over a period of a week or ten days. Most students pass a part of the examination one year and another part the next. Sometimes several years are required to pass the piano test alone. It is understood that the student must attend the same classes each year and go over the same ground until he is able to pass on. Contrast this work with the work required in most American schools and you will readily see why our graduates with degrees and certificates rarely measure up to the students who are just beginning, as it were, in European schools.

TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this col- umn to Dr. Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 32nd St. HU. 3419 or VA. 1221 TO THE GIRL OF FOURTEEN YEARS After all I believe that readers of "Plain Faets" like the personal talks to women and girls best. Subjects like "Infantile Paralysis; its cause, symptous, prevention and cure;" are intensely practical and we, as your health writers have to take them up, and give you an intelligent idea of the entire condition; which will enable you to escape the disease entirely, or to be deal with it when it is once established. This was, therefore, an intensely practical subject which I trust each reader, and studied carefully. But it is also easy to see that while you realize the need of general subjects that you really can best the "heart to heart" talks with women and girls; and I am glad, for after all these personal talks represent the real purpose of this column. There is not a woman living who, if she, could go back to 14-years of age, would not live her life differently. When we get older, when we have seen some of life with its cold realities, when we have felt the strength of adverse circumstances and the weakness of ourselves when we have fallen flat in life's battle toward success, because of insufficient equipment—then from the vantage ground of mature lives we look back, and there lives not one who could not live life differently if the journey be before her again. "What." you inquire, "the things where in you would do differently, if you were able to start back again at 14-years." First I believe, every woman would answer, "I would try to put the one principle of sincerity above all others." And today to you my dear little "fourteen year old," I would like to think long about the word "Sincerity." The presence of it or the lock make your life entirely different. Be kind to all of with your self, then with your parents and last and just as truly with your friends. The Inestimable Value of Sincerity The girl who starts out to "fool" others, soon finds that she has fooked herself far more than anyone else. Why, should she be dishonest with any one. Mother is her very best friend, first last and always—She should never try to "fool" or deceive her about anything, for to deceive her mother is only for a girl to cut herself off from her best earthly helper. Why should she deceive her friends, boys or girls, or any body. If she is clean and honest is not then worth the deception, if she is not then worth the deception, to come so; because mere aretense will never fool anyone, for very long. So into our character building at 14-years let us put "sincerity" down in large letters, for it will earn more for us in present and future life than a literal gold mine. Health Principles Next to sincerity, the girl at 14 needs a sense of the value of her health. She should look about her and observe the men and women of the world who have really succeeded. It is true that now and then you will see a master mind which has commanded divine will power and made a success of your life. You will learn that you look about you, you see the vast majority of physical weaklings dependent upon one else for even their food and clothing, and an apalling number filling our hospitals, sanitarians and insane asylum. These facts in themselves show us so clearly that the individual who enters life unequipped with health is at a sorry disadvantage. Miss Fourteen-year-old, next to sincerity value health, Earnestly seek to keep what you have and to form health habits which will insure your health in the future. Unemployed; Attempts Suicide (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La. Aug. 30—John Golden swallowed a quantity of poison at his home because he was depressed and out of work.

BURTON UPTON SAYS This is the first year to my knowledge in the history of politics of this City, that the Negro has made an earnest effort to organize himself politically. The many political clubs are out numbered by the Miniature Golf Courses only, the only trouble is that hardly any two clubs are pulling for the same candidate. The full power of our vote will be felt only, when we learn to through our combined strength and voting power to support one candidate for united we stand, and divided is just a good vote thrown away even though difference of opinions is what makes the world go around, better we be scattered then none at all. The Railroad Clatter: Wishes to Congratulate the following on the Anniversary of their Birthday, which comes during the month of August—Dan Hood, and A. Noel, Your Birth Stone is a Sardonyx symbolic of conjugal felicity. TOURIST EXCURSION CLEANS DISTRICT OF PORTERS; 30 PORTERS TO HANDLE LARGE MOVEMENT Over 2500 tourists from al parts of Texas and Arizona took advantage of a low rate extended to them by the So. Pacific Railroad, and moved in a body upon the fair city of Los Angeles last week, arriving here Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The heavy movement just aout cleaned the Los Angeles district of every available extra porter on hand, and a great many regular line men were also camander into the service. About 30 Pullman cars lined up in the Naud Junction yards which is a very difficult place for a porter to reach by a street car. The cars were all made up into one train, and were scheduled to leave here dead-head for their cargo; it was rumored by many that the regular line porters on many lines not included in the movement would be forced to double in order to take up the slack caused by the absence of so many extra men. The movement was good news to many of the extra porters who have kept warming the bench for the past week or so. PORTERS ON SERVICE OF HONOR The following Pullman Porters operating out of the Los Angeles District were commended by passengers for acts of courtesy and good service: W. C. Anderson, Stanley Banks, F. D. Brock, H. Crouch, H. L. Chapman, A. Franklin, C. A. Glover, E. Gorsby, F. Hawkins, H. Johnson, C. Jackson, A. J. Kimbro, A. S. Lee, H. J. Mingleton, S. W. Parks, J. M. White, and H. Y. Watts. There was also one maid by the name of O. L. Pierce. 18 Porters and 1 Maid, this is quite a record for the Los Angeles district they top the list over all other districts in the country. The Railroad Clatter is exceedingly proud to stress the matter before the public. It shows the boys are on the job and hitting the ball. Chicago Northern however run them a close race having a total of 16; with a little improvement on our maids for next month, we will hang up a record that will be hard to beat. It does not hurt any porter or maid to be courteous and kind, display a smile whether you mean it or not. A smile pays Dividends, try it and see. T. TAFT NOW A PROUD FATHER IT'S A BOY T. Taft, one of the Los Angeles districts popular young married men, was put on the stork's port of call last Friday morning at 8:20 A.M. The stork paid his respects to Mrs. Sydonia Tait in the form of a nice chubby boy while her husband was out of town. Mrs. Taft is the sister of Lincoln perry's wife, better known as "Step en Fetchit" who is now in the East preparing to star in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" of New York City. Mother and son are enjoying the best of health, and the genial Mr. Taft was preparing to distribute the cigars to the gang, congratulations. EXPLANATION OF CREDIT UNION In reply to the many requests that the writer has received by mail asking for a more detailed explanation of the Credit Union recently organized by the Dining Car Employees Local No. 582. I take pleasure in publishing for the benefit of the Railroad Clatter's many readers, and all others who desire enlightment on the subject. A full explanation of the Credit Union secured from Mr. Clarence R. Johnson Secretary-Treasurer of Local 582, Dining Car Employees Union as follows: If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Credit Union National Extensive Bureau, and Author of the California Credit Union Law. NOTE:—The Credit Union National Extensive Bureau is financed by Ed. A. Filene, Boston Philanthropist, and carries its work as a disinterested public service, without charge direct or indirect for any service it may render. Recently the "Dining Car Employee's Credit Union, Ltd." was organized. The officers of said Credit Union are as follows: John Belton Joe Rakestraw Joe Robertson Malmore Hibler Monte Humphry The only people eligible for membership in the said Credit Union are the following: All members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Local No. 18085, in good standing; all members of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Conductors, Golden State Local, Los Angeles Division, in good standing; all members of the Dining Car Employees Local Union 582, in good standing; and all members of the Miscellaneous Dining Car Employees, in good standing, and the organizations as such. So that the people in general can understand the functions of a Credit Union and what it is hoped to be accomplished by an organization not only limited to the group in question but one which should be extended to embrace all people, it has been thought that an article setting forth what a Credit Union is and what has been accomplished should be published to that end and in the hopes that some good will be accomplished; following is the interesting story about Credit Unions. To approach the study of the value of Credit Unions to the needs of the worker, one must understand the meaning of the word "Credit," What is "Credit?" How is the right of the individual to credit determined? What collateral must he have to obtain credit? "Credit" is defined by Heerick in his book on rural credit as that "Confidence reposed in a person which enables him to obtain from another the temporary use of a thing of value." Credit may be extended because the lender has sufficient faith that the borrower will pay so that the credit extension is based exclusively on the character of the borrower or rather on the character diagnosis's of the recipient of credit made by the individual granting it. Credit may be also extended on the basis of a pledge of goods, a mortgage of real estate or upon a guaranty or by the assignment of thing of value. Credit may be extended for an infinite variety of purposes. According to their purpose credits are generally classified as either consumptive or productive. In Credit Unions, it is the practice to think of loans as either remorial in character or as "Constructive." THE NEED OF SHORT TERM CREDIT In the United States, it has been that only 15 per cent of the estimated population enjoy bank credits. What is the result of the lack of credit accommodations for those who are entitled to it in times of emergency. Thousands are paying tribute to usurers. Investigations made by the Russell Sage Foundation show interest rates at from 260 per cent to 2600 per cent. Obviously this condition could not exist were credit resources at legitimate rates of interest available for the masses. Usury can be eliminated only by the creation of a source of credit at legitimate rates of interest for the individual seeking and deserving credit, who lacking normal credit resources is forced to have recourse to the private lender operating at exhibitant rates. Recent campaigns have been waged against usury. When the Attorney General of New York last year looked over evidence brought before the legislature in support of a loan shark investigation bill, he found records of approximately 2500 cases in and near Albany in which small borrowers were paying interest at rates ranging from 250 to 520 per cent. The Russell Sage Foundation has for many years before the development of credit unions sponsored the uniform small loans law wherein 42 percent interest on loans was legitimate and within the law. It would seem to be a fairly accurate conclusion to deduce, finally that if the worker is to have available for his use credit resources at a lower than 42 per cent, he must look elsewhere than to the small loan business operated at a private profit and such an agency is the Credit Union or known as Co-operative Credit Societies. The underlying principle of the Credit Union is the accumulation of the Savings of a group of people, the investment of the accumulation in loans at legitimate rates of interest to members of the group, and the man- WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE agement of the resulting business by officers chosen by and from the members of the group in meetings of the group. No one outside the group has anything at all to do with it directly or indirectly. Membership is determined by (1) identity with the group in question, and. (2) subscription to at least a single share of the stock of the Credit Union, which share has generally a par value of five dollars and may be paid for in cash or in installments of a dollar a month. The Credit Union may also receive deposits. In making payments upon shares, the saver develops a fixed habit of saving. By the time a member has his first share paid for he has acquired this habit and goes right on subscribing for more shares. Incidentally, thereby the member is increasing his credit capacity by developing his own security. In 1917 eighteen employees of the New England Telephone Company in Boston formed such a society each original member making a small share subscription the total original collection being less than twenty dollars. Nine years later 14,000 employees of this one Company are Credit Union Members with a total savings of $1,500,000. By this method funds are accumulated and credit resources for the members of the group thereby automatically created. Loans are made for provident purposes exclusively to the members which loans are repayable in installments generally on a weekly basis of ten months duration. The management is in the hands of (1), a Board of Directors, (2) a Credit Committee and (3) a Supervisory Committee, all chosen by and from members. The officers—President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer are chosen by and from the Board of Directors. Members of the Board and of the Committees may not borrow in excess of their holdings nor endorse for borrowers. As a general rule no one is paid for their services except the Treasurer, who is the manager and is paid what the members determine. As Credit Unions grow larger, however, such clerical services as may be needed is employed. Thus in the Credit Union the member turns for credit not to the professional lender, but to his fellow worker; he unites with his own associates; they pool their savings, they use the resulting accumulation solely for the benefit of those to whom it belongs, namely for the benefit of the savers. There is no invested capital on which a preferred dividend must be paid; there is no incentive to usury, as the funds invested are the joint funds of the members, most of whom at some time or other must turn to the funds for credit. There is no large overhead expense; there is capacity for correct credit diagnosis. The result of it all is that loans are made at normal rates of interest. Credit Unions succeed when the plan is properly applied; by the same token they fail when improperly managed. In the Credit Union most of the work is done unselfishly. The successful credit unionist must be touched with the passion for service; he must realize that this organization has in it something of the principle of the brotherhood of man, that it is a "Co-operative Organization" built on the foundation of the strength of unity for a common purpose and as the Credit Union grows in size and assets those who do the bulk of the work will be paid something and adequately; but whether the credit union be large or small, they must have at least a glimmering sense of that intangible something which may make a human being conscious of his capacity, large though it be or small to perform unselfish service. Co-operation is not a miracle, it is a plan of human association in business for the joint and several good of those who are so associated, and there can be no good result from the operations of our cooperative society, whether it deal in credit or in any other commodity unless the business is a success as a business. There is little sense I na plan of profit division if there be no profits to divide. The Credit Union has a long and honorable history. It originated in Germany in 1854 and come to the United States as the result of the efforts of Edward A. Filene of Boston, the well known philanthropist whose unselfish service both in time and money have made it possible for our citizens to enjoy credit co-operation and its multiple benefits. Credit Unions first started in Massachusetts in 1909 through Mr. Filene's efforts. The general plan of Credit Unions has already been discussed. It has promoted thrift. created credit resources for the worker and has taught its members the intricacies of money management. Credit Unions work well in groups of from 50 to 15,000. Its loans are divided into two classes (a) remedial loans, made necessary by sickness, death, unemployment and similar emergencies; (b) constructive loans which includes helping members to buy small business, or to finance business until the borrowing member's means grow to banking size, to help, build buy, maintain, repair and pay the taxes on homes, to assist mem- BEHIND THE SCENES WITH HARRY "COMES THE AUTUM" rapidly with the cold rains asking a lot of partinent, aggravating questions about what became of all those fat checks made at the studios this summer and how about that new winter overcoat.

BUSINESS WAS GOOD for the male of the species in cinema land but not so forty for the brown Mary Pick-fords and Greta Garbos. FOX STUDIO had 100 men on location up at Victorville with Fleming director in a picture presumably "Renegade." R. K. O. had Lawrence Lamar and five other men as a "too bad" orchestra. Amos 'n Andy in "Check and Double Check" has already used a large humber of colored extras and will use more although it is near completion rapidly. This picture, "Commonan," and "Babes in Toyland" will cost around $3000,000 for production. Twenty-seven more colored extras were called for Amos 'n Andy's film last Friday, and Duke Ellington's great band is still on the job, with the whole town talking about them. M. G. M. used eight men and three women including the well-known Mrs. Louise Beaver in finals of "Trader Horn." UNIVERSAL will start "Mississippi" soon. Of course that means Negro extras. WARNER BROS., are making "Red hot Sinners" and six other pictures. TIFFANY is making "Classics in Slang" and five other features. FIRST NATIONAL has a gangster film, "The Little Ceasar" and others. PARAMOUNT where the well-known and well-liked Oscar Smith holds forth is completing "Morocco," "Tom Sawyer" and nine other features. The extras of both races used during the past month on all lots were: July 26, 5674; August 2, 5324; August 9, 6102; August 16, 6193. MR. CHAS. BUTLER, genial, busy, painstaking, casting director for Central Casting Bureau, predicts a good fall season and reports a greater tendency on the part of our people towards attending to business. MRS. A. C. BILBREW and eight of her chorus are rehearsing at the Biltmore theater for the stupendous bers to buy cooperatively, and any sort of loan which promises to improve the borrower's status or position in life. Credit Unions have made substantial progress in the United States during the past five years. Some thirty-three states have enacted laws for their organization. There are now 1500 credit unions in the United States fighting the loan sharks. They have over $50,000,000 in assets. In California where the law is but two years old, thirty credit unions are operating successfully. Many more becoming aware of the benefits of these institution are organizing. Credit Unions are no longer experimental. They are a proven success. They are organized in our state amongst Postal groups, railroad workers, churches, fraternal orders, school teachers. The Postal Department is sponsoring Credit Unions all over the United States. Last year they did a business of over $10,000,000 in small loans. They are supervised by the Corporation Department of this state to insure safety of operation. They have a remarkable record for safe operation. The maximum rate of interest charged is twelve per cent upon unpaid balances. Loans under fifty dollars need not be secured. Over fifty dollars security is refused; such security may be the endorsement of one or more members. A reserve fund of 20 per cent of the earnings of six per cent is generally paid upon shares. Shares are redeemable by giving the credit union notice if required sixty days before redemption provided the Credit Union is solvent and the withdrawing number is not indebted to the Credit Union. In California the maximum loan is limited to 20,000.00, and maximum holding of any person in the Credit Union is limited to $2,000.00. Three or more persons may form a Credit Union. In conclusion it may be said that the Credit Union offers the solution to the worker for his small loan problem. Further, the Credit Union is a kindergarten School and the subject taught is the business like management of money. Such teaching is essentially preliminary to the business like management of any other type of co-operative enterprise. Finally, if we are properly conscious of the very definite obligation we owe to the day and generation beyond our own, we need not particularly assume the role of prophet to foresee the significance of cooperative Credit as a contribution to that eventual objective, a closer attainment of the brotherhood of man. For the Credit Union teaches the individual that by working intelligently with his brother he may the more readily make the far objectives.

From the abstrast now to the sublime (or would one say frivolus) we spotted the celebration at Val Verde last Saturday night. About twenty-five carloads of young girls and a few chaperons (nize-party) motored forty some odd miles to dance and write to the strains of Ja Boody and his band. (Not a cough in the whole carload). Willie Middleton primed for the occasion made a very peppy master of ceremonies and band leader having the orchestra under his thumb but nothing else (if you get what we mean). The beautiful moonlight and shadowy retreats beaconed to many of the romantics and their responses (for at frequent interval we observed couples return to the ballroom with glistering eyes. Cookie gave an exhibition tap dance executing some of his new steps most to the enjoyment of the guests. We had to leave at four A. M. (being Sunday we had to get ready for Sunday School). Although the main attraction was about to take place. We left the Biggler there who being a bigtimer could stand the pace. He claims that we missed the time of our lives by leaving (incidentally one of the guests lost $153 by staying).

A. we refer to the lovely aviatrix, Miss Marion Crawford of Marsh Field, Riverside.

L. A. this fall, which means what? — your turn. Curtis Cleveland has gone in for aviation can there be any connection with the above. Lois celebrated her (?) birthday at the Apex last Tuesday amidst a score of her faithful admirers mostly boyfriends. How does she manage and select them is worrying the Bigglet. (We already have her formula.) Roy Baumann has been barking up the wrong tree. He has falsely accused poor Edoule Harvey of usurping his throne when in reality Jesse James is doing the work and Ruth remains the innocent cause. What a pitty! Naomi Green so very sweet at least so Tommy Anderson testifies, working like a little triobat at the Orange Stand at the Apex. Have you wondered how she got those dimple cheeks? Another birthday was celebrated last Sunday when a party of sixteen motored to Lake Elsinore. Mr. and Mrs. A.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened "POVERTY" By CARL ECHOLS Who knows the extent of the poverty to be found in this land of plenty? Rich men wax wealthier. But privation still urks in the background. Who knows the genius and talent that has been stifled for want of sufficient means? Away with your "genius will surmount all difficulties" theory. Poverty is a spur to some, a death sentence to others! Because of poverty women sell their virtue, men their honor. Poverty breeds maladjusted citizens. It urges to crime. Poverty turns men into beasts. Poverty embitters the soul. It makes callous the heart. Want and self respect are bad, bad fellows. "Tis hard to look your debtor in the face. Poverty leads to suicide. Poverty makes cynics, pessimists, misanthropists. Poverty twists the sense of true values. Poor men are tempted to place too much importance in dollars. Poverty gives birth to discontent. And even heaven is hell to the discontented. Poverty stimulates hate. And the soul that hates shall die. Poverty weakens the valiant, chills the fervent, and causes the strong to lose heart. Poverty is a ladder to accomplishmen. And Poverty is a stairway that descends into degradation! Poverty is a flame that burns away the dross from the gold. And poverty is a consuming heat that causes the metal of character to lose its temperature. Lord, give me not great riches lest I forget Thee, nor poverty lest I curse Thy name! SWEEPING STATE With a grano climax the like of which has never been witnessed in the annals of political effort in this state, the Hon Buron Fitts has received ovation after ovation throughout the state during the past week climaxing in a mighty crescend at the monster banquet at the Chamber of Commerce on last Tuesday evening when more than 1200 persons sat down at a banquet in his honor. ENTHUSIASM RAN BIOP There was never a political meeting at any time or place which would excel this great meeting. The Hon. Joe Scott was the master of ceremonies and to be sure this assured the program with plenty of "pep". Editor: Manchester Boody of the Daily News was one of the outstanding speakers for the occasion and invoked the greatest enthusiasm by his remarkable facts and figures which unloosed the flood gates of enthusiasm. FITTS APPEARS It was fully ten minutes before the candidate could proceed with his speech, such was the ovation given him on his appearance. Throughout his address he was frequently interrupted with voiceiferous applause, and at its conclusion bedlam broke loose such was the state of mind of the gathering Other speakers followed including Mrs. C. A. Bass, head of the Fitts for Governor, organization, also managing editor of this newspaper. She received a tremendous ovation as she spoke upon the issues of the campaign. Judge Sheldon Receives Endorsements M. To The Voters of Los Angeles County: We wish to call your attention to the able and fearless record as Judge that Judge Caryl M. Sheldon, now a Judge of the Municipal Court, has made in the years he has served upon the bench. We heartily endorse his candidacy as Judge of the Superior Court, Office No. 10, and know full well that in ability, courage and fair-mindedness, he will serve all the people regard less of religion, color, race or creed, or financial position in life, as ably in that office as he has in the past. WILLIS O. TYLER J. H. WILSON H. E. MACBETH C. A. JONES IVAN JOHNSON III Political Meanderings BY CORRINE B. SMITH Friends, this is my column and I am expressing my personal view on the political situation as I see it. The Editor and Managing Editor have granted me that privilege. I wish to call to the fact that Mr. Cole Stalling is still actively engaged in directing the publicity of Mr. Kelly's campaign. You know how he has also been very active in every discriminatory movement against our group. Remember my people, our only weapon of defense is the ballot. Go to the ballot box and vote for the candidates that are broad minded and fair enough to accord the rights of citizenship vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States. After Tuesday it will be too late to remember these facts I call your attention to at this time. You owe this to the future generation of our group. Mrs. Oona Faulconer is truly the logical candidate for Office No. 11. She is well qualified to grace the Superior Court bench and should be elected August 26th. The. meanderer accompanied Mrs Charlotta Bass, who headed a Fitts-For-Governor Committee to Bakerfield Tuesday. The Kern County Civic Club held an open air forum at the Cain A. M. E. Church of which Rev. Gantt is pastor. Mrs. Bass made a most eloquent appeal for Mr. Fitts and stated some very impressive facts that seemed to have, a marked effect upon the audience and we could see that our message had been well received. The sentiment for Burton Fitts for Governor is growing. Friends, please don't lose sight of the act that number of candidates now running for office are men of sterling qualities and truly merit your consideration. Tuesday will be the last day of campaign activities for the primaries. If you want to see your candidates nominated or elected, you must work now and dream later. We will lay aside all NO CRAW FISH IN THIS PRESIDENT OF THE N. A. A. C. P. New York, August 19—Out of thirty-seven purely Negro precincts in Kansas City, Kansas, which has the largest Negro voting population in the State, Senator Henry J. Allen received, according to telegraphic report to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from Roy Wilkins, only 1,322 votes. His principal opponent received 3,579 votes, a percentage for Allen of barely 27. Normally, the returns would have been reversed. According to Mr. Wilkins, who is the managing director of the Kansas City Call, which played a large part with the N. A. A. C. P. in stirring sentiment towards the rebuke of Senator Allen, an overwhelming Negro vote was cast against Allen throughout the state. In this striking manner the intelligent, unpurchasable Negroes of Kansas registered in unmistakable fashion their disapproval of Senator Allen's support of Judge Parker's nomination as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Although Senator Allen was renominated, it is felt, especially at Washington, that the action of he Negro voters of Kansas in rebuking Allen, marks one of the most significant steps ever taken by the Negro towards political emancipation. The N. A. A. C. P, sent its Field Secretary, William Pickens, to Kansas. Mr. Pickens addressed large and enthusiastic meetings in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Parsons and Atchison. On Sunday evening, August 3rd, what was said to be the greatest meeting of Negroes ever held in Kansas was held at the First A. M. E. Church of Kansas City. More than two thousand persons were in and around the meeting, the thermometer stood at 100 degrees and had been at 110 during the day. Large delegations of Negroes attended the meeting from Lawrence, Leavenworth, and other points in Kansas and Missouri. Mr. Pickens spoke on the suggestive theme, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Parker, Hoover, Allen and Henderson." Those who attended the meeting went away from it ninety-nine per cent anti-Allen, as was to be seen by the election returns of the primary held on August 5th. David E. Henderson, for whom Allen secured an appointment in the Attorney-General's office at Washington, after Allen had learned of the resentment of Negroes against his attempt to put on the Supreme Court a man who was willing to deny to the Negro all Gilpin Will Hits Snag (By: A. N. P.) New York, Aug. 20.—From Trenton, N. J., comes the word that probate of the will of Charles Gilpin, the noted actor, who died last May in a suburb of Trenton, has been held up in Mercer County Orphans Court by a caveat filed with Surrogate S. Haverstick by Mrs. Lillian Wood Gilpin of 767 East 224th street, New York City, who says she is his wife. The will leaves $25 to Gilpin's sister, Mrs. Lella C. Brown, and divides the balance of the $2,500 estate between his common-law wife, Alma Bynum, and their son, Paul W. Gilpin, of Philadelphia. Judge Godfrey W. Schroth will hold a hearing in the matter some time during the present month. petty grievances and entertain but one great ambition and let that be to elect Buron Fitts for Governor. Don't forget to exert every effort to help us elect the two candidates of our own group. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Eugene C. Jennings. Judge Bishop was out making some last minute calls on a few of our representative citizens Tuesday afternoon. I am sorry it has never been my pleasure to meet the honorable judge but I have met Judge Walter B. Thompson, a very fine man who is opposing Judge. Bishop and Attorney Roy Smith, who is also an opponent of the Judge. I am not in a position to recommend the incumbent, but I am asking you to vote for either of the two opponents. I have never been impressed with the record of the incumbent. Please consider seriously Office No. 1 of the Superior Court and vote for the incumbent judge. He merits your support. Judge Valentine and Haas are both men of sterling qualities and I am hoping you will select one of these two judges August 26th. Atorney Charles F. Reiche is truly waging an intensive campaign and feels assured he will be on the ticket if not elected August 26th. He is opposing Judge Hartley S. Shaw. Vote for Reiche. Mr. Edward W. Hopkins is the incumbent assessor. He has served the people of this county for a number of years faithfully and honestly. He employs in his department eight members of our group. On election day No. 1 will be printed beside Mr. Hopkins's name. Don't mistake other Hopkins on the ballot for Ed W. Hopkins. Let us retain him as Assessor. Judge Dailey Stafford merits election to office No. 9. He is well qualified to grace the bench of the Superior Court. of his citizenship rights, was present at the Kansas City meeting, in the gallery, and heard from the lips of Mr. Pickens a seathing denunciation of Henderson's willingness to sell out the rights of his own race in return for a political appointment. According to the Wichita Beacon of August 2nd, Henderson is quoted as warning Negroes "about fighting against their best interests when they have nothing to fight with." Henderson alleged "that everything the Negro owned or hoped to be in America is owed to the good interest of the white people." Henderson is quoted also as bitterly assailing the N. A. A. C. P., saying that because of personal friendly relations between some white and colored people in Kansas that Mr. Pickens had no business urging Negroes to vote against Allen, but ought to give his advice to Negroes in the South. Reports to the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. indicate great bitterness among thinking Negroes of Kansas against Henderson. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in commenting upon the Kansas primary declared "Allen gained the Republican nomination chiefly due to the fact that there were so many opponents in the field against him. The combined vote given to these opponents is considerably in excess of that polled by Allen. Had it not been for this division of the opposition it is certain that the circumstance that seventy-five per cent of the Negroes of Kansas voted against Allen would have meant his defeat. As it is Allen had to put up the greatest efforts in the campaign, according to reports to this office, intrying to hold Negroes in line. Unfortunately, there were some Negroes who for various considerations, put personal interests above loyalty to principle and their race. We are proud of the fact, however, that the majority of the courageous, intelligent and unpuchasable Negroes of the state registered in so striking a manner their disapproval of Allen's support of Parker. The resentment is one which is not going to be lost upon Allen or politicians generally. The N. A. A. C. P. is proud of the part that it has played in this notable struggle and it extends its most cordial thanks to the Kansas City Call and other Negro newspapers and to the intelligent Negroes of Kansas for the great aid rendered in this exceedingly important struggle." Senator McKinley Seeks Re-Election Making a last minute whilwind drive for his reelection to the state senate friends of J. W. McKinley are very busy on the east side. The senator is one of the most popular figures in Los Angeles political life, and in addition to the people who support him for his seriatorial record are many who are working for him becauseq of his personal character and fine personal qualification. Macaulay Florence Cole Talbert, famous prima donna who scored a great triumph atthe Hollywood Bowl, has given an enthusiastic endorsement of Senator McKinley. As Florence Cole, she was in the same high school class with Senator McKinley, and has known his practically all her life. Another ardent orker for Senator McKinley is Mrs. Jessie Addison, of 1019 East 36th St. Mrs. Addisonwas with Senator McKinley's mother when the senator was born and for eight years was his nurse. "There never were more wonderful people than that boy's father and mother," Mrs. Addison said, "and Senator McKinley was a wonderful boy and is a wonderful man. I am very proud that the state of California has an opportunity to secure his services as senator. I want my friends to vote for him and to get their friends to." Mrs. William H. Sanders, civic leader, is one of the most active supporters of Senator McKinley. Mrs. Sanders points to the fact that "four years ago we elected J. W. McKinley to the senate from this district. He has made a record that we are all very proud of and we are eager to see him returned to the senate. It is necessary to have him returned to the senate. It is necessary to put him back because we can have only one senator and he is the only incumbent senator running for this office who voted against the special assessment evil. His vote on all matters in the senate has been good. He has proved himself to be our friend and it is now our opportunity to see that he is returned to office." Senator McKinley has received the endorsement of the woeuer's Republican clubs of California, as well as many other civic organizations. Recent straw votes show him running far ON TO HOLLYWOOD BOWL So much interest has developed during the week in the Mammoth Building Fund Benefit for Wesley M. E. Church at the Hollywood Bowl this Sunday afternoon and evening that indications are that a record crowd for our events will be there. Mme Minnie M. Albritton-Jackson will make her first appearance as a chorus director in the West. She has conducted great community choruses in Boston, Cleveland and Richmond, Virginia. She has spent over two months developing her chorus here and the public is certain to receive the musical treat of the season. Besides Mme. Jackson, Mrs. Carrie Daniels, Mr. George D. Jones, Mr. Carl Weaver, Br. A. A. Green recently of Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia and Mrs. Helena Smith are the soloists. That imitable reader, Mrs. A. C. Bilbrow will read also Mrs. Idell Bateman who ranks among the best in the country. Pastor Shaw and his people especially urge th esupport of the other churches of the city in this first effort under church auspices so that in the future it will be an easy matter to secure the Bowl at least once during the coming seasons. It is their purpose to invite other churches to participate in an Annual Event which every year will pack the Bowl to its full capacity. Come and bring the whole family. Only a few reserved seats at 50 cents and $1.00. General Admission by free will offering at the gate. Children under 12 with adults, free. Charles W. Lyons C. W. INCUMBENT SENATOR IS CONSISTENT IN HIS PLATFORM VIEWS The platform adopted by Senator Charles W. Loyn at the outset of his campaign for re-election is said by expertsin state and economic affairs to be one of the most progressive and constructive ever offered by a candidate. It is the result of Senator Lyon's sixteen years of unbroken service in the California Legislature. He said yesterday it has been planned with especial consideration for the needs of Southern California and Los Angeles County. He has pledged himself to abide by this platform in every detail, in addition to working for the many others constructive measures in which he will be interested during the coming session. Following is Senator Lyon's platform: Economy and reduction of taxes. Rearrangement of the state penal system to permit segregation of youths and first offenders from hardened criminals Education and rehabilitation of criminals by teaching them useful trades and requiring them to work while incarcerated, thus lessening the cost of their maintenance and relieving some of the burden of the county board of charities. Increasing the pro-rata percentage of gas tax money for road construction in Los Angeles County. Rewriting or amending the special street improvement acts to protect property owners against over lapping and excessive special assessments and providing for contribution from the general funds of the city or county for a portion of the cost of major traffic projects.

New York, Aug. 19.—A writer in a large weekly paper last week deplored the fact that colored audiences fail to support colored stars, showing little respect for their theatrical leaders. Of all which may be true, but did he ever stop to think how little the colored theatrical profession honors itself? Last Wednesday night, your correspondent attended a midnight show at a local theater and was seated in the second row, extreme left. After a long-drawn out poor half-talking and half-silent picture, the revue got under way. There were such excellent persons in the cast as Swan and Lee, two of the most clever comedians on the stage; Amanda Randolph; Artie Cain; Thomas Moseley and Alma Smith. It was an excellent bill, good enough in itself, had not performers in the audience been called to the stage to do specialties. Beginning at 12:30 the show ran four hours! But all during the presentation of the revue, there was one character in the audience, sitting in the first seat of the front row, just in front of your correspondent, who right only made himself a nuisance but was obnoxious in the extreme This young man has had some success as an eccentric drummer and won a modicum of praise when he played at the Palace Theatre. This has evidently gone to his head for he felt that he had the undeniable right to make himself seen and heard at all times during the performance. His companion was equally as bad if not worse, trying to outdo the first young man in everything possible. While the theater reserves the right to eject disturbers, it seems that an actor of all people would know how to behave when he is on the wrong side of the footlights. This was particularly true during the inferences on the stage to effeminate men. Here is a part worked which would be well left out. During the show, Willie Bryant, an excellent comedian if he ever gets wise to himself, a splendid dances who teamed with Duke Miller, has made quite a reputation on the Publix Circuit, pulls this old line, too often, apparently enjoying the delineation of such characters. It is of little help to the show and wouldn't be missed were it omitted. These faults are so glaring that even the most tolerant persons in the audience notice them and quickly tire of them. But the gentleman who writes the story on the attitude of the audiences toward stars, should write something on the proper etiquette of actors when attending another performance: LONG BEACH GIANTS VS. MONROVIA GIANTS The Long Beach Giants will play Monrovia Giants Sunday. August 24th at Long Beach. The Monrovia Booster Club is escouring the club to Long Beach another hot game. Manager Washington of the Long Beach Giants wishes all players to report at his offict at 12 Sunday. Players:— D. Wahaley, A. Savage, lf; Joe Borch, p; F. Conrad, rf; J. Green cf; O. B. Williams, c; Killenworth 2b; P. Wilson, 3b; B. Farley, P; Z. Venerable, p. Dear friends and members of the various organizations of which I am a member: I am asking your assistance in helping to re-elect Gov. C. C. Young. I have carefully considered the general plan and program of the present administration and the many advantages and god results that have come from there, hence the appeal to all those, hence the appeal to my sisters in doing that which is just and fair to the deserving candidate. Under the splendid leadership of Gov. C. C. Young, California has witnessed unlimited prosperity despite the general depression throughout the country. Among the many unusual achievements we must give expression of our appreciation for state schools, good roads, humanitarian institutions and a tax system that is unequalle din rates being lower in comparison other states. We further appreciate his efforts in the penal reform movement and the Boulder Dam Project, in opening the cause of increasing opportunity for labor. For this and many other reasons I am asking the united support of you and your friends in giving Gov. C. C. Young an opportunity to complete such a distinguished program by casting a vote for him on August 26th. Remember the initials C. C. Young for Governor. Signed. Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert. Co-manager East Side Citizens Committee Young-for- Governor. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Central Avenue Gardens T (BY MRS.

Every member and friend is HELL BY WILLIAM PICKENS The preachers are occupying too much space in the bad news of the front page nowadays. We ordinary sinners have notageen a chance to hit the spotlight any longer. Every time a preacher starts to get married, there's scandal the oider the preacher, the worse the scandal. Women take to preachers like they take to soldiers' uniforms, and, of course, part of the uniforms, and of their presumption and misconception of the the preacher, widowed preacher is the objective of a cruel manhunt. And when he decides to marry one of the beloved sisters, there are so many others offended that there is sure to be a fuss. Recently one big preacher let it leak out that he was about to be married, and another woman marched into his study and slapped his face and sued him for something like $100,000. To make it even he sued her back for another $100,000 for "assault. It is our prediction that neither one of them will collect, as neither one of them ought to collect. Then that woman "topup" ever and got married to the winning lady. We Have Noticed that Very few Preachers Ever Get Married and Then Stay for Long After on The Charge On Which They Get Married. There is something deadly, persistent, and final about the poison that is injected into the female portion of the membership by the hate and envy aroused when the pastor marries, somebody else. Another prominent preacher was smarter. He slipped away and got married without letting it leak out first. He may get away with it We doubt it "The Deadliest of the species is the female." Another preacher got married sometime ago. There was a stiff undercurrent or resentment. At least he is moving and there are "explanations" one set and sort of explanation from him and a different set and sort from the hostile portion of the membership. Out in the west and south a whole bevy of preachers have been arrested for graft and murder. Of course, some maybe all, that are innocent of murder at least, but why in the h—or rather why in the name of the Lord were they so careless as to get all tangled up in a mess like that? The Lord certainly needs to look after his preachers. If he does not, we sinners are going to do it; we'll just call a meeting and have some of them turned clear out of the church. We have often been bored because too many preachers spend too much time talking hell. Now we are shocked because too many of them have begun to raise what they have been talking about. And for once we are really frightened about it, for actions speak much more effectively than words. God have mercy on us poor and ordinary sinners if we be in his sight even worse than this selection of his preachers. MAN WHO ESCAPED TEXAS MOB ELEC- TROCUTED Huntsville, Texas; Aug. 19—By A. N.P.-Rainey Williams, who three times escaped death at the hands of mobs, came to his end in the electric chair here Friday to which he was sentenced for criminal assault on a Negro woman. While Williams was convicted of assaulting a Negro woman, there were two white women at the trial who identified him as the man who had attacked them, and it is believed that in reality the doomed man was electricuted for attempting to assault white women, thus for any crime against a Negro women. Williams was arrested in Port Arthur, charged with attacking several women. A mob stormed the jail to get him, but the sheriff succeeded in carrying him to Beaumont. The blood-thirsty mob followed him there, but the sheriff dispersed them with tear gas bombs and a second mob with a heft blow on the jaw of the mob leader. When he was brought to the Rangers protector and the first captain considered was that of the Negro woman, and he was sentenced to death. FORCE.NEGROES TO QUIT WORK Harrison, Ark., Aug. 19—By A.N. P.—The sight of Negroes working while so many whites are unemployed was too much for the white folks here Tuesday morning and the contractors employing the Negroes were forced to discharge them. Two white setters from Little Rock were given the contract for the tile work in the Boone County Hardware Company building. When they arrived Tuesday morning, they brought with them several Negroes as helpers and the work. Little progress had been made when a group of whites appeared on the scene and told them that unless the Negroes were fired there would be trouble. In order to keep down trouble, the Negro workers were sent back to Little Rock by their employees, who it is said assured them that they would be paid just the same. urged to attend this meeting as it is a very important one.

BEAUTY AND YOU By: Sadie Nero Davidson MODERN GOOD LOOKS As smart people judge it today are stressed on Five Points—Smooth Skin, Accented Eyes and Mouth, Long Slim Neck, Lovely Brow. Smooth, "Mat Kid" skin may be any natural tint so long as it is clear and fine—pored. Must not be over-oily or over-dry. Lovely Brow: Eyebrows must be well shaped. Hairline must be clearly defined. No wrinkles or frown-lines. Turbulent mouth: Right shade of lip rouge. Rouge applied correctly. white sparkling teeth. Accented eyes: Eyes must be clear lids slightly darkened. Lashes thick and glassy. Tissues firm and unwrinkled. Long Slim Neck: Made firm by exercise. Kept light by bleaches. Kept smooth and nwrinkled by nourishers. First, The Skin. The Skin, for instance maybe as dark or light or neutral-tinted as it is Natural for it to be. Only be sure you have achieved the clearest and most becoming shade possible to your particular skin. That of course means the selecting of your cosmetics as well as your costumes. Use cleaning cream, creme creams, powder with a powder blended to match the skin tint exactly. Then the Browns. The forehead is very much in evidence these days. Its first beauty in being smooth and unwrinkled. It will be naturally if the skin well cleansed and nourish. The dailtime is softened by a few flattering curls. The eyebrows must be brushed daily with a small brush dipped in olive oil or eyelash-grower. It is permissible to shape them by plucking—Not to a narrow, antenna—like line but so they look like smooth even ribbons, ending narrower at the end. The High Accents: Eyes are age modern high accents of the face quite frankly emphasized so that the face itself needs no other color—Eyes are kept clear and, bright by the use of eyebash or cold water. And nourishing creams is applied at night to keep the tissues around the eyes smooth and unwrinkled. Eye lashes are encouraged to be thick and glossy, by the use of eyelash growing ointments. And eye shadow, to match either the iris of the eye, or the tinting of the lid, is applied across the lid and up alongside the bridge of the nose, if the eyes are wide set. The mouth—so vital an accent in the modern face—must be made up with equal care and daring care in choosing, just the red that agrees with costumes, and with teeth and color of the skin—Daring in using it frankly, not heavily and crudely, but in the cantec and along the upper lip, until the whole face sparkles to life. Long Smooth Throat: The exaggeratedly long and slender throat that goes so well with the small head and straight shoulders is a gift of NEW LINCOLN GOLF COURSE IN GRAND PREMIER OPENING Mr. Otis J.

THE LAST CALL After a very strenuous campaign of more than the usual duration of time for a State campaign, the people now await the vetoet which will be rendered next Tuesday at the ballot box. Every indication at this writing points to the triumphant nomination of the Hon. Buron Fitts as the Republican bearer for the election in Nov. The contest, it is generally conceded, has narrowed down to a race between Buron Fitts and Mayor Kolph, Fitts having a decided edge. CALIFORNIA EAGLE EARLY BOOSTER This paper has been right up on the paper itself in tougher the best it could be of assistance in electing Buron Fitts as our next governor. We have so acted because we are firm in our conviction that the State needs a man of the courage of Mr. Fitts as head of its State government. We are firm in our conviction that he will be the governor of all the people and give to them the sort of government which they desire. We are proud of the fact that the very splenoid support being given by our group in this cause for the people demonstrated ground peradventure that forms a program of State which really includes all of the people of the State. We now make our last appeal and that is to rally on next Tuesday as never before to do the thing which means so much to the progress of all peoples of California vote—work for, persuade others to do so, and part and parcel of the work to good good government on next Tuesday. But Buron Fitts, will go over the top again and become the next Governor of California. The method is simple daily exercise: Raising and lowering the head so you feel the muscles in the throat pulling. Bending the head back and then lowering and closing the mouth. Yawning with the mouth closed. Finally and most important—walking always with head carried high. Creams and bleaches help too. GIVE ME A BREAK I'm not such a sunny feller.

Following the dinner a large audience gathered in the side street fronting the church which had been previously blocked off and seats placed to accommodate all and listened to various canidates champion their cause and be championed. In as much as it was an open meeting, fostered in the interest of the voting public that they might gain first hand information concerning the fitness of each candidate, it proved a success in every way and several hundred voters were much enlightened as to the ability and fitness of each candidate from coroner and justice of the peace to the governorship. Following several speakers who appeared for the Rolph and Young interests, Mrs. Charlotte Spear Bass was presented to the gathering as the last speaker, and for thirty minutes held the vast audience spellbound while she made point after point in the interest of Buron Fitts and dealt intelligently blow after blow to his opponents. Mrs. Bass had prepared a speech, but laid it aside and dealt openly and forcefully with the issues of the day and succeeded in converting a large number of undecided voters to the cause of Buron Fitts. Her forceful address drew applause after applause and at its conclusion she was surrounded on all sides and congregated, and asked speechful how she had managed to approach for Mr. Fitts. Rev Gantt and the members of his congregation are—to be congratulated for the success of the meeting. In addition to a large colored audience over two hundred white citizens took advantage of the occasion to listen in and were well paid. "Let Hopkins Hop Out and Walka Walk in."

Dear Eagletts: We want to apologize to you for reniging on you last week but really things out of the ordinary will happen ocasionally and affect ones otherwise ordinary daily routine. Things have been very warm of late as regards the weather and politics. Well thank God, the political pot wave will have passed and conditions reached normalcy by next Wednesday. Received several letters of late from Exhaust readers. One in particular arrived Wednesday and was from Albert Wills in Indio.

We sincerely hope he succeeds. By the way, have you heard about the good news concerning Willie (Billy) Easton. He surely is a luky guy. We hear he crabbed an out-of-town bell and married her before several husky rivals knew what it was all about. So it as it may we wish him and her matrimonial happiness. Speaking of Bakersfield, I can tell you one thing and that is, "It's no place for a minister's son to be on a hot day." We hit in town the other day unexpectedly and the weather was surely cutting no. Never saw such behaviour since Uncle Sam engaged in weather man some years ago. Saw Henry Houston and Dr. Hanby and both wished to be remembered to thei.

The gathered a Norman Houston and Harry Williams led the parade. And now remember me to the home folks and tell 'em I be back in time to use my franchise.

(Continued from Page One) followed the lovers to their trysting place and placed them under arrest. When arrested Robinson is reported to have urged the officers to kill him, and the woman pleaded with them to spare his life. To attain his desire to be killed, Robinson made a dash for freedom, but a shot through the hand halted him. He was placed in the Hino's County Jail and Thursday morning when one of the deputy sheriffs went to transfer him from one cell to another which was deemed a bit more secure, he toppled the officer over and dashed toward the jail door only to be shot down and mortally wounded. He is alleged to have told officers that he would rather die in that manner to face the white man's court and perhaps the mob. A few hours after Robinson's death, the young woman was brought to trial, and admitted that she was guilty of "illegal cohabitation" with Robinson and sentenced.

Mr. Prather said "The right to vote becomes a duty to vote. We can work together shoulder to shoulder in the economic and political life of our country." Mr. Prather is Republican candidate for assembly from Pasadena, Pasadena is included in the 52nd district. SOCIAL Mr. Wesley Prince is spending a week in San Francisco.

P. held its monthly meeting at Scott Methodist church Monday evening. Mr. S. E. Edwards of the Good Will Industries of Los Angeles addressed the organization. Miss Juanita Walker played a piano solo.

WEDDING On Saturday evening, August 16th, Miss Margaret Lee became the bride of Mr. Milton Groom. The ceremonies were performed at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Havenly on Morton Ave. Rev. George Martin officiated. Miss Lee, who has been residing for years at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. G. Gordon of Altadena, was formerly from Philadelphia. The groom hails from Pillsbury, Penn. The marriage took place mid beautiful surroundings that were suitable for the occasion. Miss Madeline Hughes, friend of the bride, acted as brides maid. Mr. Robert Poynter was best man. Mrs. E. W. Moore sang very sweetly an appropriate air: "O Promise Me." The wedding march was played by Mrs. Alice Stoard-Bugg. The bride and groom will reside in Altadena. M. Magic-Read it. All about Haiti.

DANCE MARATHON We journeyed over to Maywood Sunday morning. We reached the popular place at 1 A. M. and tarried their until 3 A. M. Feeling that we had seen all there was to see of the dancing contest we turned homeward. What we saw: 1—A sign reading, "50 cents ad- mission." 2—A crowded tent (mostly cab- areters) of people of all walks of life. 3—About five couples dancing to the music of a snappy orchestra. 4 About every 15 minutes or so the dancers retired for a snooze. Then they returned refreshed to dance some more. The Dances are only about a minute long The participants need not always "step on the puppy's tail" but they must keep moving when the music is a goin'. You must move if only to walk or else you are disqualified. Between sleep intervals a varied program is arranged, which consist of reciting funny verses, doing a new strut, playing pranks, spining ropes, etc. Of course the interspersed entertainment is not always free of a taint of vulgarity or commonness. But we are gaining experience, and who in the hell cares about a little smoot that foils the atmosphere. The colored dance marathon is a good way for many white men to make some easy money, and for a few colored men to make a little. There is nothing educating or uplifting about the Maywood marathon, but I forgot that we did not go there seeking Salvation. Any how the trip there and back in the auto will at least relax ones nerves (providing you do not try to reach your home at three A. M., by going in the wrong direction as we did). Oh, yes, we forgot to mention that on Sunday evenings you may see some of the colored movie stars. What if they all sing the same songs and do the same dances we should worry, we are looking at his "made up" face and her abbreviated skirt. The dancers are going good from 11 P. M. to 3 A. M. I wonder what are they doing the middle hours of the day? The California Eagle is on sale at: Robinson's Confectionery, 32 Dayton Street. Sherman Gas Station, cor. Walnut and Pasadena Avenue.

Zion Church, Aug. 24 The annual Men's Day at the First A. M. E. Zion church, at the corner of Pico and Paloma streets, will be observed Sunday, August 24th. For some years past Men's Day has been the most important annual event at the Zion church. It has, in fact, been one of the great community occasions to which the people of Los Angeles have looked forward to because of the high religious and educational values which the Men's Day program always contains. The special features for Sunday., the 24th will be as follows: MORNING SERVICE, 11 O'CLOCK— Address by Dr. John C. Page, Dean of Faculty of Los Angeles Bible Institute. Subject, "The Making of a Man." EVENING SERVICE, 7:30— Address by Dr. Edward Adams Cantrell, chautauqua lecturer and sociologist. Subject, "Bluffing the Universe." Both Dr. Page and Dr. Cantrell have national reputations as scholars and speakers, and large numbers of people interested in the religious, educational and social advancement of the race will avail themselves of the privilege of hearing these great characters. Dr. Page was for many years instructor in Bible Doctrine and Pastoral Theology at the famous Moody, Institute of Chicago, and is now rendering similar service at the Los Angeles Bible Institute. Dr. Cantrell is one of the outstanding lecturers on educational and literary subjects in the United States, and has been enthusiastically acclaimed by the daily press and prominent scientists and scholars throughout the country. Says Prof. George L. Leslie, former head, Department of Psychology, Los Angeles City schools, "Mr. Cantrell possesses a rare knowledge of the biological, psychological and sociological subjects which underline the religious thought of today." The music for Men's Day will be under the direction of Mr. Aristide Chapman (Denver University). The Utica Jubilee Singles, as well as the quartet from Golden State Insurance Company, Bullock's and the Los Angeles Fire Department will be heard. The public is invited to both morning and evening exercises. RECORD CROWD AT THE BIG GOSPEL TENT A service full of interesting features afforded the great crowd last Sunday night at the Gospel Tent 48th Place and Central Ave, an evening of Religious service song to be remembered. With the Education goals of Motion Pictures starting at 7:30 sharp and special song slide solos, and a great sermon on "The seven last Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church REV. E. E. LIGHTNER. Pastor Vernon and Hooper Avenues "Abiding in Chirst' was the subject of the Pastor's message the past Sunday morning. At the evening hour the Open Forum discussed "Advantages of Church Membership." Many out of town visitors worshiped in the service and expressed their appreciation of the services. This Sunday, Aug. 24th Mr. F. W. Stewart will be in charge of the services and bring the morning message. There will be no evening service, during the Pastor's vacation which began this week. You are cordially invited to worship with us at all times. Bethel Church of Chris (Holiness) BISHOP WM. A WASHINGTON PASTOR East Adams and Hooper Streets "Shower of blessings refreshing" was felt by all in the congregation of Bethel last Sunday morning when the pastor full of spirit and power spoke from 2nd Timothy: 4:2. He said in part—taking as a text: Preach the word, ("Christ,") "We should preach Christ; not ideas and notion. That he who gets a true vision of Christ looses sight of organization line. Organization is alright, but organization can't save. Christ is all." The Pastor's Aid Board, Sister Bush President had a very successful service Sunday afternoon 3 o'clock. It was a glorious day for all. Are you burden, or lonesome, heart sick or ill? Come to BETHEL where the fire of the Holy Ghost falls in every service. Souls are blessed and saved. Holiness National Convention Here Aug. 24 GREAT CHOIR OF TRAINED GOSPEL SINGERS TO FURNISH MUSIC DURING WEEK Delegates are arriving from all points South, East and north for the National Session of the Church of Christ (Holiness).

J. Thigpen. He is charged with killing Thurmon Thompson, farmer. Thurmon was shot with a single-barrel shotgun while standing on Newton's front porch.

Everybody is welcomed at the Big Tent, and to enjoy the singing the preaching the pictures once means to attend many, many times again. All ways take a friend along when going to the service, it helps others to get a clearer understanding of the ways of GOD and the message of the Gospel. Tallant Tubbs The People's Candidate For Lieutenant Governor Your Vote is Solicited SON FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL "I believe that the people of Southern California are beginning to wake up to the importance of my nomination for attorney general on the Republican ticket," said Charles A Son today. "There is no more important matter before Southern California at the present time than re-apportionment of assembly districts according to population. This re-apportionment is required by law. However, from all reports we get from northern California, there is going to be serious objection to the re-apportionment matter. It must be remembered that at the present time northern California has 29 senators and fifty-five assemblymen against eleven senators and 25 assemblymen. "As I have said in my speeches throughout the campaign, the law requires that if the legislature fails to act, a committee composed of the lieutenant governor, the secretary of state, the attorney general and the superintendent of public instruction must carry out the provisions of the law. "The voters of Southern California are beginning to find out that unless the attorney general and the lieutenant governor are elected from Southern California, the South will not receive even an equal break with the north. There is no doubt that the northern secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction will be re-elected. "I am making this fight for Southern California," continued Son, "and I feel that the voters should rally behind me. It is their fight just as much as mine to determine whether they want a northern man for attorney general or a resident of Southern California. "I want the voters to bear in mind also that I am running solely as a Republican and not attempting to deceive them by also registering as a Democrat, as the present attorney general has done. I believe in policies a man should be one thing or another and not try to camouflage." ONE GOOD TURN At this time when everybody is girding himself for the primaries of August 26th, a word of advice may be considered timely. We purpose to speak on the candidates for governor in the light of their attitude toward the Negro. The colored man in California, as well as in all U. S. A., is a contributor to the common good, hence there is a certain amount of recognition due him. Such recognition cannot by any means be considered a favor to the race. It is its lawful heritage. Governor Young has done nothing in the past for the Negro. We have no guarantee that he will do anything in the future. Mayor Rolph has had two decades of opportunity to give the glad hand to the Brother in Black. He too has failed. The Negro once had a chance at civil service appointment in San place and he was thrown out for good it seems. Mayor Rolph has been blissfully asleep as far as this matter is concerned. The third candidate, Mr. Fitts, deserves the Negro vote. He has shown us some consideration. No matter what the motive, he has done it. Fellowmen, of the Negro race, when you go to the polls next Tuesday, he reminded of the fact that District Attorney Fitts remembered us by appointing one of us to the very important position of Deputy District Attorney. GEORGE REDMON Sergt.-at-Arms L. A. Forum. Tallant If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Charles E. Haas, Candidate for the Superior Court, Office No. 8 Judge Charles E. Haas, candidate for the Superior Court, Office No. 8, is at present incumbent municipal judge in Division No. 22. He has been a resident of Los Angeles for forty-six years and is a product of 1930 Los Angeles High School, Stanford University and George Washington University. He has served as a Deputy City Attorney of Los Angeles for seven years and as a Special Counsel and Deputy County Counsel of Los Angeles County for five years. He has served by special assignment of the Judicial Council on the Superior Bench. Judge Haas is a scholar and a Christian Gentleman. His past experience and his education make him well qualified to grace the Superior Bench. He should be elected to Office No. 8 of the Superior Court. --- CHIEF "CHANLIE" KELLEY If we were as sure of heaven as we are of "Chaplie" Kelley being the next Sheriff of Los Angeles County we would never listen to another radio-sermon. There is no question but that the taxpayers are going to put the Sheriff's department under new management. They demand efficient economy and a sober administration of the big business conducted in this department of our local government, and you can just hear Will Rogers say, "Ain't Los Angeles lucky to have a candidate like 'Chief Kelley' especially educated and trained for the office?" Even his opponents concede, Kelley is the only candidate for Sheriff, that can be elected at the Primaries, Tuesday. It is better than even money that he will stop the ticket, if not elected Tuesday. Ask any voter, any where, about the Sheriff's race, and they will name Kelley to win. Call any number in the Pasadena Telephone book and they will tell you to vote for Kelley for Sheriff if you want the best Sheriff Los Angeles County ever had. Kelley is now and for ten years has been the Chief of Police of Pasadena. He took a leave of absence WITHOUT pay while making the campaign for Sheriff. That made The following clipping from the Editorial column of the Santa Monica Outlook is a high compliment to our very popular friend Arthur L. Reese who is cancidate for Republican Committeeman from the Venice District also the names of a few of his endorsers. One of the plain duties of man, especially an American man, is to make politics as interesting as possible. It is by politics that we run the government. By government much of our prosperity and hapiness are determined. Arthur L. Reese, a resident of Venice, is furnishing a fine bit of political drama in the maze campaign he is conducting to be elected to the republican county central committee, which means usually an opportunity to spend time and money, without any hope of return, in running hither and yon to attend conferences and committee sessions. Most citizens nominated for a place on this committee go back to their political snoring again and forget it till after election day. Not so with Reese. He is busy day and night writing, talking and enlisting others to talk for him. If he were running for a $500-a-month job he could hardly take it more seriously. And that, we suppose, is the way to take politics. Take it so seriously that you will be in a position to laugh after election is over and the votes are counted. Dr. Joseph Saylin; J. R. Hunt; C. W.

Chief Kelley is a fine big healthy good natured American born Scotchman with more than 30 years experience as an officer. Twenty years in Los Angeles county. It was a taxpayer who sent in the winning sloyan, "Elect a Scotchman for Sheriff and save money." You think of a Scotchman being a Presbyterian but Chief Kelley is a Methodist. The First Methodist church of Pasadena is the only church he has ever belonged to. Dr. Merle Smith is the family pastor. The reason Kelley will be our next Sheriff is because—He knows, obeys and enforces the laws without third degree methods. A vote for Kelley for Sheriff is a vote for better government—Advertisement.

Governor John H. Trumbull refused to allow Johnny Williams 28, to be extradited from Connecticut by authorities of Alabama, Tuesday. A sheriff from Henry County, Ala., who had come for Williams started back south without his man. Williams' extradition has been sought in connection with the murder of a white girl in 1928. Governor Trumbull informed the officer Tuesday that he could not honor the requisition because an Alabama grand jury failed to indict Williams six months after the crime. Williams has been working here in a barrel factory for more than a year. Some people who knew of his whereabout gave the tip upon which the authorities acted. Twenty-six years a resident of California. Born in New York City. Attended Stanford University and was admitted to the Bar in 1925.

Thatcher For Supervisor An endorsement by the Municipal League of Los Angeles—one that cannot be bought—says: "At considerable personal sacrifice Mr. Thatcher accepted the invitation to run, for supervisor as a matter of CIVIC DUTY. He is one of the few candidates who shows calibre equal to the requirements of the office." Vote For This Business Manager At the Primaries Aug. 26th Thatcher Headquarters 357 W. 2nd, Pomona We are authorized to announce Boh Hill as a candidate for Sheriff of Tulare County to succeed himself. Subject to the primaries to be held August 26, 1930 Judge Rozenkrantz of Division 14 Superior Court, spoke out in no uncertain tones his opinion of conditions which tend to prevent the salvation of young women, who have fallen but could be rescued if our system of justice simply provided a place where such cases could be looked after. In his court on last Monday in the case of a young woman (it is not necessary to call her name) who was before him for Wright Act Possession and who had several prior convictions against her. Policewoman, Mrs. Jaunita Edwards who was acting as probation officer, reported to the judge her findings, to the effect the girl was simply a victim of environment and was anxious to do right, but she had never had a chance. The story was that she knocked on the door of juvenile hall at the age of 12 years. She is now 23. Driven from home by a step mother, she has been the prey of the street these years. Each time the usual re- Because of the pressure of demands made upon the Welfare Division of the County Charities during the last few months, the rapid expansion of business resulting has caused the present business system of that department to become inadequate for efficient and economic operation. In order that greater efficiency may be had, it is necessary that a careful survey of the accounting system of the County Welfare Department be made at once, thereby preventing duplication and fraudulent transactions which are possible under the system now in use. At the suggestion of Mr. W. H. Holland, Superintendent of Charities, the County Auditor is to be instructed to make an immediate and thorough survey of this branch of the Charities Department in order that a re-organization may be made possible soon. Mr. Holland has made considerable improvement along these lines but owing to the nature and volume of the work involved a thoroughly efficient operation cannot be obtained until the County Auditor works out a more economic business system. Figures for the fiscal year 1929-30 show that $2,469,518.00 was handed through this department, and that during the fiscal year 1928-29 over 95,000 individuals were aided. This year's figures due to conditions will far exceed these and a comparison gives an idea of the magnitude of the business handled in the Welfare Dept. Today, there are approximately 11,000 active charity cases, monies for the care of which are disbursed through this division which is handling on an average of 600 orders daily. FITTS FOR GOVERNOR CLUB ALAMEDA COUNTY I am a staunch supporter of Buron Fitts for Governor for the following reasons: Because of the courage he has displayed in the office of District Attorney and his broad and liberal policies extended to all groups and classes. His appointment of Leon Whitaker as Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles, the first appointment of its kind ever give nto one of our group by an executive of City, County or State, has convinced me of his lebelar and unprejudiced attitude toward all classes. After a careful survey, I am thoroughly convinced that Buron Fitts will receive the greatest political consideration ever given a candidate by FRIDAY, August 22, 1930 KRANTZ EXCORIATES WHICH DENY OPPORTUN- ING A HUMAN SOUL comendation without a place to go has been a sentence to jail. Then turned out on the street. This just Judge then said—"T think it is a disgrace that Los Angeles County would not provide a place for women beings in this situation to have a chance to make good citizens, of themselves." He said further—"that even cats and dogs were taken care of but this pentitent young women yearning for an opportunity and chance could find no place to lay her head." In other words the law provides no relief for delinquent girls. It was then that a woman attorney stepped forward and gave a check to assure temporary shelter for the young woman at the Y. W. C. A. Policewoman Edwards reports to us that she later found a place of employment with sympathetic person, the young woman is happy and declares it's her life's ambition to make good—and thanks the judge and all parties who interested themselves in giving her a chance. FITTS WILL CARRY IMPERIAL COUNTY El Centro, Aug. 19 (Special)—Buron Fitts will carry Imperial County according to Russell Bennett, editor of the olvtille Tribune, who has just completed a survey of the political situation in the valley. A newspaper poll of Imperial Valley shows that four newspapers are pledged to the candidacy of Buron Pitts. Bennett declared, including the otville Tribune, Calexico Chronicle, Westmoreland Mall, and Calipatria erald. Only to nespers have pledged their support to Governor Young, file to have made no definite expression. Bennett commented upon the statement by Mrs. Berdie Hobdy, recorder of Imperial County, who predicted that the Valley will give C. C. Young 85 per cent of its vote. He pointed out that Mrs. Bobdy is an avowed Democrat and attended the National Democratic Convention in 1928. FITTS GETS AID OF COLORED VOTERS Colored voters of Los Angeles city and county are among the staunchest supporters of Buron Flitts in his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination on August-26. The California Eagel and Pacific Defender, two leading colored newspapers of Southern California, and the California Voice, the leading colored newspaper in the Northern section of the State, have already endorsed Flitts candidacy. The Republican Study Club Council, and organization of colored women representing 17 units and a membership of more than 2000, has pledged its support to the District Attorney. 62nd Assembly District Meeting Sunday 3:00 P.M.

VAL VERDE NEWS Social activities of last week centered around the owing and dance given by the younger set last Saturday evening at the Val Verde Club House. Although the affair was by invitation and had been in the arranging for weeks upon the arrival at the park, by the masterly invitation of the only Charles Martin, formality was dispensed with and joy was unconfined. All the accumulated gaiety up for a week past on account of giving up their date on the previous Saturday night to the older set seemed to burst forth and from the time of arrival Saturday evening until the final departure Sunday noon there as just one continual round of pleasure. At the wee hours when the dancing ceased the girls repaired to various homes for a few hours rest and the boys found it more desirable to spend the time roaming about the canyon in fresh air Taxies or "What have you?" One in particular being Mr. Willie Middleton. At an early hour they assembled at the pits and tables where the girls had prepared a delicious breakfast after which gayety again was resumed. Mrs. Bruce entertained at her cabin over night the Misses Ellsworth, Ruth Harrison, Thelma Hardin, Alma Thomas and the Misses Iverna Anderson and Marian Dunlap, both of Sacramento, Calif.

MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Aug. 19—Chicago's South Side settled back somewhat to normalcy this week as it slowly recovered from the hysteria which gripped the entire colored district as the result of the closing of the Binga State Bank. Before the flurry was over however, two other financial institutions had closed their doors, the Roosevelt-Bankers, controlled by the Flowers Brothers, Jews and located at 47th and South Parkway, and the Citizens Trust & Savings located at 55th and State streets, operated by whites but having a colored employee or two. The panicky feeling spread until it caused large withdrawals from every bank in the district, threatening institutions which were entirely strong and sound because of the weakening of their positions by the lessening of cash reserves. By Monday, however, conditions were reported as returned to normal. Meanwhile, plans for reorganizing the Binga Bank have been held in abeyance until the state auditor's report can be a task which is expected to consume ten days longer. A committee of the bank's board of directors has been appointed to work out plans for reopening. On the committee were named C. N. Langston, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Dr. U. G. Dailey, Col. John R. Marshall, and T. R. Webb. While these directors were not talking for publication, privately most of them say they are hopeful of reorganizing and reopening. One or two predict a receivership. Former President Jesse Binga has been inaccessible since the crash but he has signed over his property, and stock, and equities in various parcels of real estate to Chas. S. Jackson as trustee to be used in an effort to realize on them and remove from the bank the frozen or slow assets belonging to Mr. Binga. The securities and equities turned over are said to represent a valuation of $311,000. Steady and determined runs during week and were dinner guests at the cafeteria. Mrs. John Redmend and daughter, of Chicago and Mrs. S. E. Love of Chicago, were special dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bell at the Community House last week. Mrs. Joseph Shaw is in San Diego this week attending the annual session of the U. F. Lodge of which she has been an officer for many years. Among the past week's visitors at the Recreational Building were Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Lightner and little Equest E. Jr., Miss Gertrude and Venus Rogland of Birmingham, Ala., Dr. and Mrs. Geo. D. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hawkins, Arnold Williams and Brother, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lattimore, Newell D. Eason, Lloyd C. Griffith, Miss Beulah Coles, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dnismor), Mrs.J. Donglass Pembroke, Leon H. Washington, H. Arthur Provost and Miss Ethel Taylor, Horace M. Bowen, Mrs. L. Miller, Miss Bessie and Master C. J. Clifford. Mr. and Mrs. E. McCauley, have moved in their beautiful new home on Morganside Drive. It is nicely furnished in keeping with the modern construction of the house. They have also bought a number of trees, plants and shrubbery and will soon have a yard with growths equally beautiful. which frightened depositors, disturbed by the wild rumors that other banks with large Negro deposits, were unsafe, withdrew their funds were the immediate cause of the closing of the two white banks. Roosevelt Bankers, an institution which was the result of a merger of two banks controlled by the same interests, had a large number of colored stockholders and depositors. It had been fighting rumors of unsoundness for some time. The Citizens Trust and Savings in recent months had been seeking buyers to take it over. It is reported that it would have survived, however, except for a terrific run made upon it. The rest of the banks in the district withstood the strain well. The Douglass National, while it suffered large withdrawals as did the others, showed surprising strength. President Anthony Overton reported many new accounts secured from the closed institutions. The support of the federal reserve bank which sent cash together with a belief of the people that a national bank is backed by the government both operated to help the Douglass. The Lincoln State Bank, 31st and State, an institution with a mixed board and with a number of colored stockholders, stood a devasting run, finally invoking the 60-day clause restricting withdrawals of savings. The Industrial at 47th and State followed the same course. Most of the patrons who withdrew accounts placed them in down-town institutions. It is reported that the Roosevelt Bankers will not open again. Officers of the Citizens Trust say they will reopen within the month. The task which faces the reorganization group of the Binga Bank is a huge one. he bank examiners want $430,000 worth of paper removed If this is replaced by cash the bank can reopen. These mortgages and notes while not liquid now are said to be reasonably certain of collection or renewal over a period of three to five years. $75,000 of the amount is said to be involved in foreclosures with probable additional valuation resulting. Chas. S. Jackson's name has been mentioned in connection with the proposed reorganization which if carried through would mean a change in the bank's name. Mr. Jackson is a successful undertaker who also has engaged in various lines of business endeavor. He owns 277 shares of Binga Bank stock and is said to have loaned Mr. Binga $70,000 personally. He is interested in banking having been slated for president of the proposed South Parkway National Bank which Mr. Binga was engaged in promoting last year. He also headed a syndicate which some months ago had considered buying the Bankers' State Bank. The directors of Binga Bank were called to the state auditor's office Monday morning. No report was available the auditor saying the examination would not be finished for a week longer.

Call Painter and Paperhanger 974 E. 10th St. TUcker 1487 Page-Five The Metropolitan Water District to be Taxed 3c Per Hundred Needs of the Metropolitan Water District for the current fiscal year will be met by a tax levy of only three cents on $160 of assessed valuation, according to a report of the finance committee adopted yesterday at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the District. The assessed valuation of property in the District in the coming year will be $2,184,243.675; it was stated. The report was submitted by the finance committee composed of John R. Richards, Harry L. Heffner, Geo H. Hutton, Paul E. Schwab and Franklin Thomas. Commenting on the report, W. P. Whitsett, Chairman of the District's Board of Directors, said that although the District was authorized by law to levy a tax of 5 cents on $100 of assessed valuation, the Directors have adopted a policy of reducing the amount of the taxes to the absolute minimum. "The need of Southern California for water is so vital and urgent," he declared, "that every effort is being made to advance the work of the Colorado River Aqueduct project. In doing this, Chief Engineer F. E. Weymouth is effecting such economics of organization as to keep the tax rate even lower than that of last year which was only four cents on the hundred dollars." The task of building the great Metropolitan Water District Aqueduct in an efficient and business like way is being rendered easy by the high caliber of men who have been appointed to the District's board of Directors by Mayor Porter o. Los Angeles and by one mayors of the ten other cities of the District. Chairman Whitsett said. Chief Engineer Weymouth said the Board of Consulting Engineers appointed to pass upon the route the Aqueduct is to follow, will meet in Los Angeles in November for the purpose of making their final report. Meanwhile, he said, engineers on his staff are sitting many engineering problems connected with the ultimate choice of a route for the great water carrier. One of the most difficult of these problems, he said, is the question of terminal reservoirs and the distribution of the water to the member cities. Nominate Negro For Kansas Legislature (By: A. N.

F. Jones, Pastor—Sunday was Young People's day at Grant Chapel and large congregations were in attendance at all services, beginning with the Sunday School which met at the usual hour. At the eleven o'clock service the girls had charge. Auspices of the Junior Missionary Society. Miss Thelma Miller, presiding, a chorus of girls furnished the music. Mrs. Margaret Hale presided at the piano. The singing was truly inspiring. Mrs. Mattie Grabenheimer was the speaker and she brought us a message that will live long in the minds of those who were fortunate enough to hear this wonderful message. Truly this young woman is consecrated to the service of the Master. At three P. M. the annual Scholarship program was held. Several young people from other churches were on the program. At eight o'clock the boys had charge. Reviens Morris was Master of Ceremonies. A fine program was given by the boys. James Green made the address. He is the coming orator of Grant Chapter. He brought us a splendid message. A boys chorus sang at the service. Next Sunday the Pastor will preach at both services. The senior choir will sing at the morning service and the Junior choir at the night service. Sunday will be Building Fund Day. All group leaders will, report at the night service. Come and worship with us. Macedonia Baptist Church—Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor—S. S. was very god and many were out with the teachers present. After the Sunday school session we went into our 2 o'clock services with Rev. Cooper of Riverside in charge. He preached to a large audience. The theme of this discourse was "The World's Needs" We are always glad to have Rev. Cooper with us and always gain inspiration from his wonderful sermons. The B. Y. P. U. held its session at the usual hour with Mrs. Tena Vance at her post of duty. An interesting program is being arranged for the Union and the date will appear later, all are ask to help out in the effort. The Evening Services were conducted by Rev. Cooper and we again had a wonderful meeting with many out to witness this sermon. Special music was rendered by the choir and was joyed by all. The church work is moving very nicely in the absence of the Pastor, yet we are eagerly looking for his return. The men's Day program will be on the 5th Sunday and all the men are requested to make this a very successful Day. Last Thursday night, a bunch of friends met at Mr. Thomas Lee's grocery store and went in a body to the home of Mrs. Etta Perkins in a surprise birthday party. Many were present and various house games were indulged. Mrs. Perkins received many beautiful and useful gifts. It was quite a surprise and she was all excited when she first came, but when we left she was all smiles and quite composed. Ice cream and cake were served. Lawyer W. J.

Shaw Mission M. E. Church—Rev. O. Stout, Pastor.—The Sunday School had a good attendance. The pastor informed the members of the Sunday School that there would be no picnic this year. Mrs. Stout however gave the children a trip to the Santa Monica beach, which was greatly enjoyed by all, and for which we thank her very much. At the eleven o'clock service the Pastor preached a splendid sermon. The attendance was good at this service. Visitors are made welcome. The work on the church will be completed this week. All are invited to worship with us next Sunday. A big Fitts for governor meeting was held at 111th St. School Auditorium Tuesday night, under the auspices of the Fitts-For-Governor Committee.

Alberga a hand, for he has rendered real service in his work through the Veterans Bureau for the nomination of Buron Pitts. Thousands of extra copies of last week's issue of the Soaring Eagle were an upset to the Rolph contingent, when we exposed his Insurance attitude to our people. He said: "I can't insure Negroes in my Company—but I will let them vote for me." Shades of the night—can you beat it? The Negro who reads, who thinks and who makes any pretense to stand up for his race, should have some things to condemn himself for evermore if he falls to give in to his conscience and vote for Buron Pitts. He is the only man who has earned even our consideration. It appears that B. C. Jennings will receive a 100 per cent vote of his own group and if the other group which he has helped in things political for a life time comes across he will make the ballot and who can say might make the election. The race issue flares up in the 62nd district and is shot out by Allison; looks like now the best thing to do is to concentrate all forces on the incumbent, if we are to continue representation for the group at Sacramento. Gee but that is a pretty race as they come into the stretch—Senator Lyons and Senator McKinley. They are neck and neck. Big Bill-Traeger is out in front as they come into the stretch by 12 lengths. Watch him as he wins. Our big boss, contrary to the general belief, is not a resident of the 62nd District, where Assemblyman Roberts, Mrs. Bessie Prentice and Charles Olivier are doing battle. He is simply slitting on the side lines watching the battle from afar. Mass Meetings may come and go but none like the one at San Bernardino last Wednesday night. The people got the records straight on that night, registering 95 per cent for Fitts. Attorney Willis O. Tyler, Dr. J. A. Somerville, Lloyd Griffin, Mrs. Corine Smith, Dr. T. F. Jones, Rev. L. M. Curtis and many other members of the speakers bureau have rendered yoeman service to the cause of Mr. Fitts for Governor. Then ain there are those who are going to meet the stand they are taking way up the road and woe be unto them. No person of the sense of appreciation that a sparrow possesses, but knows whom they should by right support in this election. Rolph the general agent of the London Guarantee Insurance Company says he will take your vote but not your insurance--you're black. Oh, consistency, thou art a swel. consistency Friday, August 22, 1930 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA In and For the County of Los Angeles OSCAR HATCHER, Defendant Action brought in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, and Complaint filed in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of said County The People of the State of Californi a send Greetings to: Oscar Hatcher, Defendant You are directed to appear in an action brought against you by the above named plaintiff in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles, and to answer the complaint therein within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within the County of Los Angeles, or within thirty days if served elsewhere, and you are notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the Complaint, as arising upon contract, or will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the complaint. Given under my hand and seal of the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of alifornia, this 18th day of August, 1930. IF NOT FITTS, WHO? On the horizon are a number of honorable and able men seeking the support of the people of California for the high office of Governor. There is great interest manifested in the campaign, probably more than in any similar campaign in many years. The interest of the three contestants is the cause of the interest of the people, the great excitement now prevalent would not be if the people were interested in State government and governmental affairs at all times, if the people were willing to advise the Legislature at intervals through their assemblymen to voice their approval or disapproval of pending legislation, a new form of government would be affected, of, for and by the people. The condition existing in California today is a condition affected by the people, whether that condition be pleasant or unpleasant if the "buck" has been passed, it has been passed by the people because of their lack of interest in all problems that seem deer or burdensome and their willingness to give any of their own time to a study of State affairs, they unload the whole of their affairs on a favored few. The three leading candidates for Governor C. C. Young, the present incumbent has done his best we believe under the condition above stated: James Rolph of San Francisco and mayor of that city for many years is an honorable and congenial man and true to the core to his friends. Buron Fitts, the youngest of the three men is also the most aggressive, most forceful and is resilient for the great interest in the campaign. We believe Mr. Fitts to be a man of great character, great ability and great courage, prepared absolutely to administer the affairs of government to the satisfaction of all the people. Mr. believe Mr. Fitts to be a man able to keep the common people interested in their affairs. As an able attorney, Mr. Fitts record can not be questioned. His tenure of office as district attorney for Los Angeles county records the greatest efficiency of any of his predecessors; his own acts in office demand a higher order of society, his acts in office demand that all corporations operating in his jurisdiction deal honestly with the investors' savings. Mr. Fitts record in office proves to the citizenry of California that rich or poor, high or low, that the prison was established for criminals of every order and he has busied himself to protect the interest of the citizens of his district without fear or favor. I therefore urge all citizens that are interested in enlightened government to support the candidacy of Hon. Buron Fitts for Governor of California at the primaries, August 26th. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened SIR L. E. LAMPTON. County Clerk of the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. By M. STUARD, Deputy. POLITICAL POT PIE If Buren Fitts had not been born in Texas, Negro campaign workers would not have had one thing to argue against him. The argument itself as to where any man is born is so silly and unreasonable that one would hardly think an intelligent person would use it. It is a relic of deep born prejudice and hate calculated to stir up the passions of men and women. It was and is still used by such pernicious and violent characters as old Ben Tillman (who is gone), Tom Heflin of Mississippi. They figure it out and find they have nothing to commend them and they raise a hue and cry about black domination, preach hate and intolerance. The ignorant red neck and hill billies of those states get all het up—the argument wins. It will not get the Negro opponents of Pitts anywhere for the California electorate is too smart. They know the thought is "hog wash" dished up for the gullible, and ignorant. E. C. JENNINGS ED. W. HOPKINS FOR Re-Elect H. L. Carnahan VOTE FOR JENNINGS Municipal League En- HEADQUARTERS AT THE ROSSLYN HOTEL M. Attention of all voters in Los Angeles county is directed to display advertising noting the fact that Assessor Ed. W. Hopkins will have the numeral I before his name on the primary ballot in order to distinguish the incumbent from three other Hopkins, among eleven other candidates filed for the one place. Ed. W. Hopkins has been assessor of Los Angeles county for 23 years. The unfairness of those who would seek to defeat him by the political trick of confusing the voters needs no comment further than the advice that an unanimous vote be given the honest, able, efficient, fair and square and long experienced public servant. Ed. W. Hopkins. Charles F. Reiche Candidate for Superior Court Office No.5 Retche believes the "lackadaisical attitude assumed by so many judges" is due to the fact that they are often "fairly well along in years" and cannot stand the strain of continuous hard work. "There is urgent need on our su M. B. perior bench," he says, "for new and somewhat younger timber that can stand the strain of hard work and bring along with experience some of the enthusiasm of youth to the problem of solving our present archaic and inefficient system of administering justice. The most important need of the bench today, however, is "an unfettered judiciary." Reliche thinks. "Too many of our judges are thus linked and only at election time do they manifest any interest in the lowly masses. This feeling on the part of the people as a whole is to my mind the fundamental reason for the present attitude of distrust toward our whole judicial system." (Continued from Page One) we feel that not only the Negroes of Los Angeles and of America, but the Negroes throughout by this talented young man. The announcement of this appointment is to be broadcast over the radio throughout the world. Mr. Pitts is well known in Los Angeles and the State of California as a soloist, teacher and director. He is now directing the all colored chorus of forty-one voices under the management of Mr. Emanuel Hall, employed by the R. K. O. Studio which has been the sensation of the movie world. The announcement of the organization and activities of this colored Association shall appear in the columns of this newspaper very soon and all who are interested can get in touch with Mr. Pitts regarding the same.

Dunbar Hotel - HUmbolt 5243 Buster Wilson's Famous Band - Strut Mitchell in Song - Martha Ritchie - Papa Mutt and his Syncopators - Movie Stars Galore LASSES BROWN, Master of Ceremonies TEDDY PETERS, Hostess Hugh A. Thatcher of Pomona, candidate for Los Angeles County Supervisor from the first district, has received the preferred endorsement of the most influential civic organization in the country with the announcement today that the Municipal League of Los Angeles has backed Mr. Thatcher with a powerful statement. Endorsement by the Municipal League cannot be bought and is only given after the representative civic organization has made the closest analysis of the candidate and his platform. The Municipal League also inquires into the men and corporations, if any, that are backing the candidate. Decision on endorsement is withheld until an elaborate questionnaire has been answered by the candidate and until after the candidate has personally appeared before the League for further questioning. In preferring Mr. Thatcher to other candidates for first district supervisor, the Municipal League said: "Hugh A. Thatcher, preferred. Age 53; attended U. S. C.; capitalist and ORIZON "rancher; manager of extensive Currier estate; leading citizen of the eastern half of the county. Mr. Thatcher has no entangling political alliances and while he is largely financing his own campaign he is doing it along conservative lines which furnish little justification for the charge that he is buying the office. At considerable personal sacrifice he has accepted the invitation to run as a matter of civic duty. His activities with the Masons, the Kiwanians, the Pomona Chamber of Commerce, the Los Angeles County Fair, the Pomona Valley Hospital, and the Political Central Committees for years, have given him a deep understanding of public questions. He is one of the few candidates who shows calibre equal to the requirements of the office." The Municipal League's endorsement today came as a climax to general backing which Mr. Thatcher has previously received from women's organizations; civic, traternal and brotherhood groups; and a large host of influential east Los Angeles County men and women. Among other endorsers not previously mentioned are: the San Gabriel Valley Taxpayers League, the Pomona W. C. T. U., the City Taxpayers League of Los Angeles, and personally by the Rev. Bob Shuler. Plans have been completed for a Thatcher booster caravan of automobiles to tour various cities of the district on Wednesday, August 20th, leading to Long Beach where a gigantic Thatcher mass meeting will be held in the Municipal Auditorium at 7:30 P. M. If You Fail To Read-THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE-You May Never Know It Happened EDITORIAL PAGE If some days the volume of chaff seems greater than others, know that the threshing has been more thorough. This is a wide, wide world, and full of sweetness for those who would find it. In less than a quarter of a century the sport department of the American newspaper has developed from a column of type to from one to five pages, depending upon the size of the paper, with a special section of its own on Sunday. Taking the press as a mirror of the life of the times and a gauge of the importance of current events, there certainly has been a change in the national attitude toward sport. In expanding the sport pages the newspapers have merely responded to an insistent demand from their readers. The newspapers have not stimulated artificially public interest in sport, amateur and professional. The public's attitude toward sports has undergone a revolutionary change. The newspapers have not le dthe change: they have merely followed and chronicled it. That change in attitude is no better illustrated than by contrasting the newspaper, of the opening of the racing season twenty-five years ago. That notice reads: "There will be horse-racing at Sheepshead Bay today, and the same crowds of blacklegs and gamblers that frequent such places may be expected out in full force." The public attitude toward sport has changed, because it has been given time to consider the various sports without the old harassments. And the people, approaching them and viewing them in that happy frame of mind, find that some of the sports are better than others but all of them are good. Americans have the time and the money for indulgence in sports of all sorts both as players and as spectators. That was a dark age, indeed, when sport was scorned by the best people and fair femininity dared approach no nearer the forbidden realm than the bicycle and croquet. The ladies are lucky, as usual. The man who barbers them has no excuse to pull their noses. An intellectual is one who can quote the good authors who furnished the few ideas he possesses. Judge Mary Wetmore, San Francisco's first womap to occupy a judicial bench, died month after he induction into office. When the legislature authorized additional courts she was one of the appointees of the Governor. Mrs. Wetmore was one of the best known of California's brilliant women. For twelve years she had been clerk in the State Supreme Court. The judges all paid high tribute to her sterling worth. Miss Theresa Meikle, at present attorney in the State Narcotic division is known as an astute lawyer, well qualified for the arduous duties confronting her. She was appointed by the Governor. Are our young women beginning to take life as a serious thing when the fate of a people's future lay with them? We are hopeful. Overhearing a remark made by one of the younger set we could not resist the temptation of "listening in." They were discussing the modern tendency of the "Moderns" toward the use of intoxicating beverages: "It is no use in arguing. The tendency of our young people to apa after the social standards of other people are not an advantage to us, either in our social or moral lives. Read the life history of most men who have achieved anything during their period of life, and they all testify that, "To whatever success they have made or to whatever heights attained, they owe it to the teachings of the mother." Can we as the future mothers of a struggling race afford to set other example than one of morality and exemplary living? As future mothers of those who are to lead in the struggle of racial progress, we cannot." Brave girl that! And be it known; she is no prude. Vivacious, the life of her associates, she is popular. She has placed the leaven; we hope for results. Warren K. Billings, whose plea is before the State Supreme Justices, for a recommendation of executive clemency, has the unique distinction of bringing the Supreme Court to Folsom Prison. He laid bare the events of his sordid youth before that body. He disclosed activities in the sabotage of automobiles, and as a go between in dynamiting events of the Pacific Gas labor troubles. In that case where he was convicted of transporting explosives, in violation of the law, he implicated a high official, in the person of a state senator for Alameda County, as his employer. He acknowledged to a series of crimes during his youth, but emphatically denied that he had any part in the Preparedness Day bombing. He went through his acquaintance with Tom Mooney, and his acquaintance with the anarchist, Bergman and others active in the promulgation of "Direct action" in labor disputes. His testimony grooved in with some of the high-lights of other witnesses. The scarred thumb, to which Estelle Smith testified, being on the left rather than the right as she testified. These hearings have attracted the attention of the country. It is something without precedence in the jurisprudence of the nation. San Francisco electric rates are no whigher than they are in Los Angeles." This is one of the arguments used to induce the voters to vote "Yes" on the power bond issues, August 26th. "I am tired of this perpetual, assumption of engineering dictatorship over the financial affairs of the city." That was the reply of Supervisor Frank Havenner to Nelson Eckhart, manager of the city water department, who reported that no reduction could be made in water rates an additional $5,500,000 five million five hundred thousand, bond issue for reconstruction and extensions were voted. Since the water supply has been taken over by the city the rates, to the householder, have been increased. In some instances as much as 25 per cent. Many householders, who under private ownership, paid $1.49-96 per month have their bills increased to $2.26-51 in the two months past. It cannot be possible that in all the years the Spring Valley Water Company tolerated such inefficiency in its meter readers (We notice, that the same reader has been on the job in our section for the past four years, and is still reading the meters) as would cause such an enormous loss as the discrepencies show. Or, is this a stragetic move on the part of the city to increase to the maximum Page-Eight THAT LAST SHOT GOT HIM— If anything was lacking to demonstrate why the members of the colored group of voters would not rally to the Rolph standard it was the Sims affadavit published exclusively in this paper of last issue. They say now—surely Rolph could not expect our votes, if the Company for which he is the general agent, will not issue us policies in his accident insurance Company for no other reason than the color of our skin. Therefore they say away with Rolph. They say Governor C. C. Young would not trail with the other governors of the north in refusing extradition to a mob ridden state and gave up GLASS who is this day among the missing from the Oklahoma prison... They say further no man was ever known to have escaped from this prison and as a consequence poor GLASS has now gone to the home from whence no man returns the victim of the treachery of Okla homa officials. They say further the JIM CROW boxing commission which could in one minute put a stop to the JIM CROW arena at Hollywood is but a gesture of the estimation which Governor Young places upon the colored people. Therefore there is no one left to vote for except BURON FITTS, the man of destiny who has demonstrated beyond all per adventure that he is the PEOPLE'S MAN, who stands for all men up and no man down. Truly he is the man who will righten all wrongs and has the stamina and courage to administer the affairs of this great State as no other aspirant in the last quarter of a century. DON'T TRADE WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK— Keep the thought and act accordingly, the proposition of your economic freedom is at your door and the solution is to use judgment when you spend your money just like any other sensible person would do. We cannot expect to be carried upon the laps of luxury or can we hope to be economically free until we can by offering our trade as an inducement to firms to give employment to our people. Further we must so act, organize and patronize that we can build and maintain business propositions of our own. Therefore the slogan as appears above must be our pass word from time evermore or until the objective is gained. BATTLE FOR ECONOMIC FREEDOM Just a little bit lagging has been the campaign for economic progress as the fiercely contested political battle has raged for the past few weeks. This being the closing week we shall be from now on be right on the job battling the best we can for economic freedom. Rest assured the part which the California Eagle has played in the present gubernatorial contest, is right in line for a place for our group in the affairs of government, to the end that it will be possible for our citizens to procure a just portion of the work which is given out by our State and for which we are taxed. We are sincere when we advocate the election of a man who has demonstrated he stands for all people to have a break in the affairs of government. There is not another candidate who measures up with Fitts in this respect and our voters simply are against themselves when they support either Young or Rolph in the present situation. STIMULANT TO PROGRESS In legal parlance there is a term "caveat emptor" which means "let the buyer beware." And that does not single out any class of uyers. There are people in Los Angeles who buy everything at home and from home-town merchants. And there are merchants who buy their advertising from the newspapers and other mediums of their own community. And then again there are people in this community who buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out of town where it is lost to the community. Those who buy at home benefit the community by keeping their money at home and reap the additional rewards of buying from business enterprises that depend, for their very existence, upon their reputation for fair dealing. The home-town merchant gives his patrons and his community the fruits of his industry and his community's patronage. The same principle, which urges people to patronize the local merchant who has his money invested where it serves them most, should urge the merchant to advertise in the newspapers of his community. This paper boosts Los Angeles and its people, institutions and business. It is a fixture, with a heavy investment and dependent, for its existence as a booster, upon the patronage of the community. Merchants advertise in newspapers to increase their business. Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with the least expense of time and effort and most advantageously both in respect to price and quality. Both advertiser and buyer forget that this advertising makes possible the newspaper that brings them the news of the day and provides one of the chef stimulants to community growth and betterment. THE WIDE WIDE WORLD Do not be distressed overmuch by news of evil. This is a wide, wide world. It contains much that is bad, but more that is good. Righteousness is slowly, but surely, triumphing over sin. If you do not believe that, or merely have not realized it, turn for a moment to contemplation of happier things. Turn your tired eyes from the day's record of evil to the day's golden roll of honor. There is more of good news than of bad news tday, every day. There is more to see on the sunny side, and it is more worth seeing. There are only two reasons for gazing at ugly things; either that we may more fully now evil when we meet, even in gilded robes; or that we may grapple with it and blot it out. Broad highroads of honor lead to every worthy goal of life. The mud roads are in the lowlands, leading only to dissolution and corruption. If we travel the mud road it is at our own volition. Sin is not the harvest of life. It is the chaff threshed from the wholesome grain and will be swept from the threshing floor. Why look upon the chaff when the grain is there? SPECIAL ARTICLES so that they may "point with pride" to a reduction under public ownership? The citizens and taxpayers of San Francisco, have been most liberal in meeting requirements. They have rallied to every request, and voted for the issuance of millions of dollars in bonds. The city engineer, Shaungnesy, backed by the appeals from the mayor, James Rolph, have been zealous in their appeals and the voters have responded liberally. They have without stint backed up the Mayor in his promotion of public ownership of utilities. It has become a farce. The Mayor has been returned to office for two decades on the "build complete," Hutch Hetchy, slogan. If this latest water fiasco is a portend of what is to follow, it will be well for Mr. and Mrs. Voter—especially the small home owner—to pause and consider before casting the vote. There is too much authority vested in the manager of the water department. He should have nothing to do with the fixing of rates. It would be handled better by the Supervisors. Rate fixing for public utilities belongs there. The Supervisors are elected by the people. The public utilities are OWNED BY THE PEOPLE. Why is it we never hear a "Hurrah" for Augustus J. Johnson, candidate for State Treasurer? He is in opposition to the present incumbent, Charles G. Johnson. In conversation with one of our "leading" political leaders he divulged that he did not even know that "Bret" Augustus belonged to the "Sons of Ham." The entrance of Augustus J. Johnson in the race for the office of treasurer, was about as big a piece of damphoolishness as was ever perpetrated on a bunch of "self-kidders." Whatever "bunch" induced Augustus to do such an absurd act should be placed in a special prepared cell without padding. It is such ridiculous abreactions of the "grey matter" that bring the race in bad repute. It places the stigma of insincerity on our acts and ridicules the claim to political preferment. Every intelligent voter knows that it is as impossible for an unknown person to be elected to such a position of responsibility as for the proverbal camel to pass through the eye of the proverbal needle. The less we have of such political farce, the better. And they still continue to lie! At the Warren Billings hearing held in Folsom Prison. Billings asserted that the suit-case of dynamite he carried to Sacramento and for which he was arrested and convicted, was sent at the suggestion of State Senator Edgar Hurley, Alameda. Billings set the date as of September 11th-13th. Senator Hurley produces a group of photographs taken in Denver on the 15th of September at a convention of electrical workers, and that for two weeks prior to that date and for two weeks after he was in the "Mountain City." The attempts at character assassination has been one of the high spots in the, now famous, hearing. If the seven Supreme Judges can unravel the tangle of lies, sift the underlying truth from the falsities; if they can determine the basic motive of it all; they will have improved on the wisdom of King Solomon. Man o' War road in San Francisco Bay is the mecca of the folks from the hinterland. They come to view the mighty armada of Uclef Sam's fighting craft anchored there. Huge dreadnoughts; slim destroyers and aircraft carriers. Every craft that makes up an efficient unit for naval warfare, either in defense or offense, is registered there. Its personnel comprises in the neighborhood of 20 to 25,000 officers and men. The city has planned for their entertainment during the stay. The fleet entered San Francisco Bay after a mimic naval and air attack on the city. On Thursday, 20th, the Armada will have part in the pageant attending Harbor Day. Parades on land and a review of all the craft in the Bay will be the appealing features. These annual water pageants have a great attraction for the inland folks and they swarm by thousands to visit the warships. Many Leaders Pay Tribute to Ed. Wright Chicago 20—(By The Associated Negro Press.) Political factions and political entities were formed Among those from whom telegrams were received were Senator Charles S. Deneen; Lt. Governor Fred Sterling, Comparison Counsel Samuel Ettleson, Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican candidate for United States Senate; George F. Harding, treasurer of Cook County; Bishop A. J. Carey, Dr. Carl Robert, Dr. Roscoe Giles, A. L. Jackson, Hensley Assistant State's Attorney C. C. Wimbish and Mrs. Joanna C. Sowden. Chicago. 20. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Political factions and party politics were forgotten Monday morning when funeral services over the remains of Edward H. Wright former Illinois Commerce Commissioner, were held in Cook Community Center. The Episcopal service was conducted by Father Brown of St. Thomas church. There were no deviations from the prescribed ceremony. His intellect, courage, strength of character, qualities of leadership, and devotion to the cause of good citizenship were the characteristics and talents of the dead man dwelt upon principally by the numerous eulogists. "He never broke his work," de- The obsequies were divided into two sections: one a citizens' service, during which the late leader was eulogized by his friends and political leaders, and standing; the other, the ceremony of the Protestant Episcopal church. "He had as fine a mind as any man, white or black, that I have ever known," asserted Frederick Lundin. Attorney Warre. B. Douglas, one of the chief attorneys for the Chicago District, presided over the citizens' meeting was opened with singing and invocation. "No man could ever question the courage of Ed Wright," emphasized Congressman DePriest. Acknowledgment or telegrams received by Mr. Wright's widow was made by Attorney Alonzo B. Tansil. Three-minute eulogies were then made to the following person, Louis B. Anderson of the Secretary Ward; Oscar DePree, congressman from the First District of Illinois; Adolph Marks, state senator; Charles S. Deneen, United States Senator; Walter Beecher, chief attorney for the Sanitary district; Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett, leading club woman; John A. Swanson, state's attorney of Cook County; Adelbert H.

Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender. "He was a consistent friend," according to Senator Deneen. "He tried to make good American citizens out of black and white alike," stated Robert S. Abbott. "He headed the headway for his race," acknowledged Judge Albert George. Interment was made at Oakwood Cemetery. MOB SPIRIT BREAKS OUT IN NEW YORK New York, Aug, 19—A.N.P.—The mob spirit broke out in New York when David Holland, 22, colored, of 211 Moore Street, Brooklyn, stabbed two white boys, Jack Bobchin, 19, of 233 Moore Street, and his brother, Harry, 18, Tuesday evening following a tilt over water throwing in the streets. The Fire Department had put a sprinkler in the streets for the children of the neighborhood during the recent heat wave. Holland passing, on his way home, was showered with water by someone and when he resented it, Bobchin and his brother took exception and started a fight with the two boys coming out worse. Solos were rendered by Mme. Anita Patti Brown and by Edwin McLean. Resolutions of sympathy were read from the Deneen political organizations of the Second and Third Wards, from the Cook County Bar Association and from Fort Dearborn Lodge of Elks. TICLES Jim Kyle, Negro Pioneer Dies in Colorado KYLE SERVED AS ORDERLY UNDER LATE CAPTAIN ROCKAFELLOW IN CIVIL WAR From the Cannon City (Colo.) Record, James Kyle, Negro of 230 River street, a resident of Cannon City since 1866, passed away at a local hospital Saturday morning, July 3, from heart trouble. Mr. Kyle was one of the oldest residents in Canon City, coming here in 1866 with the late Capt. B. F. Rockafellow, as an orderly. Since that time he has worked here, much of the time he is connected with the G. T. Wood Transfer Co. Mr. Kyle was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1849, and was the son of two slaves of one of the richest plantations in that state. In 1864, when the Union forces were occupying Virginia, Captain Rockafellow saw the 15-year-old Negro, and asked him if he would not like to be an orderly, and take care of the two horses of the captain, who was in command of a company of Michigan volunteer cavalry. The boy consented and was with Capt. Rockafellow thru the balance of the war. At the close of the war, Capt. Rockafellow was sent out to Salt Lake City with a company of troops, to quell the gloting Mormons, and keep order among the plain Indians. Kyle came with the troops, and after the company was mustered out in 1865 at Fort Douglas, came to Canon City. It was this body of troops that established the famous foyte. He stayed here for a few weeks, but when Capt. Rockafellow and George Rockafellow, the first mayor of Canon City, went into South Park to mine, Jim, as was called, went with them. Following the sale of the mine, Jim stayed in South Park, but in the fall of 1866 returned here, where he has remained ever since. Mr. Kyle was a good citizen and was a lover of children. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs' Sadie Vest or San Diego, Calif., who has been notified of his death. Mrs. Kyle died in Pueblo a few months ago, and two sons have preceded their father in death. Funeral arrangements will be announced later following word from the daughter in California. The body is in charge of the Canon Mortuary company. Very few men had seen Canon City grwd, as had Mr. Kyle. When he came here, the city boasted of but a few failures. At that time the county abolished with Sloux, Arapahoes, Utes and Cheyenne Indians. The only means of the covered wagon, and the end of railroad was at Denver. Since that time he has been in constant touch with the developments of the community, and has seen it grow until its present status as one of the leading towns in the state. Knox Renominated For Missouri Assembly (By: A. N. P.) Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 20.—L. Amasa, Knox had an easy time winning the Republican nomination for the state assembly from the Fourth District here Tuesday. Knox, who was a member of the last general assembly, the first Nego to go from this county, polled 2,303 votes. His nearest opponent, (white) had 886 votes and the third man in the race, also white, had 82 votes. John E. Wesson won the Republican nomination for justice of the peace in the Sixth District over J. D. Pouncey, also colored, by a vote of 1,455 to 455. It was the first time in this city Negroes had ever run for a justice office. Wesson will oppose Judge Casimire W. Welch, Democrat, the present incumbent, who has held the office for more than twenty years. The District is the most notch not entirely, Negro and nearly the black residents are Democrats. Albert A. Johnson and Mrs. Zephry Allen were re-elected members of the Republican County Committee. Richard A. Young was nominated as constable in the Sixth District. rung through the streets and a mob set upon Holland to do him bodily harm. The quick and violent ventsed any serious trouble and Holland removed to the police station, declared. "I guess I just lost my head when they threw water on me" The Bobchin brothers were taken to St. Catherine's Hospital, where their conditions is regarded as critical. Holland is being held for felonious assault pending the outcome of the brothers' conditions. SPRT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES HARRY LEVETTE, Editor VOLUME 43 HARRY LEVET Uppercuts and Blocks (By HARRY LEVETTE) THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS PROGRESS LOYALTY TRUTH JOE PIRRONE FATHER OF WINTER Baseball here writes from San Francisco informing us that all plans are about completed for the Winter League. Lonnie Goodwin will not be connected with White Sox Park this season and from as far east as Chicago Joe has collected some of the best colored players starring in the eastern and Southern teams. DUNCAN, Great Monarch hurler, Dixon, left fielder and a number of other crack players who have never been west have been signed up by Joe to make the colored team. FOX AND SIMMONS who packed Wrigley Field and White Sox Park both last fall are expected here again. Also Smead Jolley of the Chicago White Sox, and Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs. "We are going to have the best Winter League we ever had," says Joe who returns, this Saturday. Difficulties which spoiled the series last year will not appear this season and the fans are assured some real baseball all winter. The crack colored team is to have good opposition and the kind of men will be in the line-up on both sides who give the fans a run for their money. All should give their support, as Pirrone is conscious both with the colored players and colored patrons. JACK THOMPSON is not risking his title for a very large sum considering what other champions ask. DYNAMITE JACKSON gets a return match with Frankie Campbell next month. FOOTBALL THIS SEASON may or may not develop an outstanding colored player, at U. S. C. or U. C. L. A. THE CENTRAL PLUNGE on 22nd street has had a bad season on account of the infantile paralysis epidemic. ADVICE TO BOXERS: Stay single till you get up in your class. FILIPINOS IN HONOLULU are demanding that Vernon Jackson's win over Nationalista be reversed. BOBBY Pierce IS BACK from Frisco and Oakland, looking fine and ready for a lot of bouts. LEN PORTER is working out with Ace Hudkins at the Woodland stables. THE KNOCK-OUT TRUST with Mack House, president, is to be re-organised soon with a big feed and dancing. NEIL CLISBY invites all his old friends and fans to look him up at his links at 51st and Central. JACK DEMPSEY has been helping a number of the smaller clubs here aborts by refereeing the bouts. There is always a packed house when the beloved "Manassa Mauler" appears. ```markdown ``` When "Barber John's Boy" just completed at Warner Bros. studio has gone through its final stages of preparation and is released to the public the veteran colored stage actor and comedian John Larkins will leap into fame greater than he experienced even in his palestmiest footlight career. "Jolly John Larkins" as he has been known for years on the stages of America, Europe and Australia is at present making his home in Los Angeles, living at 805 E. Adams Street, and like many former stage celebrities working in pictures. Seeming almost to avoid the fidelimel it takes considerable maneuvering to get him started talking of his past experiences. ZEIGFIELD AND GUS HILL SPLIT OVER HIM John started back in the old days when an actor had to really deliver the goods depending little on lighting and stage effects to make the act click. As a black-face comedian he has figuratively made the world laugh. He was the first colored man to be engaged on the Columbia Burlisque circuit later starring in "A trip to Africa, later adding "Black Patti as his co-star. Heading "Gus Hill's Follies" when the now famous Florenze Ziegfield was known as his partner, he was the cause of the two splitting up over some little detail of John's direction. Ziegfield opened up first around the corner starring Bert Williams but Larkins remaining with Hill held his own turning the crowds away nightly. The only colored member of a famous English "Pierriot" show he scored more triumphs in the old world. He lived a number of years in Australia, meanwhile touring to other lands. He was a good friend of Galli Curci and accompanied the present Prince of Wales on his world tour some years ago. John reveals that the first colored talkie was really made with him some years ago at the old Jane Melwood studios under direction of Alf Bouldin, with him in a part. Recently he has had parts in Thunderbolt, Sin Flood, Mamba and other features. Recently he was complimented highly for his work as bartender in Lula Belle. Larkin as "Bildad" in the new Warner feature is predicted to be great. The cast in this all star production includes Lucille Powell, female lead, Phillip Holmes, leading man, with Grant Mitchell, Russel Simpson, Otis Harlin and others. Carrying the longest dialogue in the script the story full of humor tragedy and pathos revolves of an aristocratic family in which John is coachman and butler. A gripping trial scene with "Bildad" on the stand is said to be greater than the "Trial of Mary Dugan." An expression of his as "Bildad" becomes an important part of the evidence and saves the scion of the family from the gallows. It is "I got a eye like a Eagle." Sammy Jackson Meets Feraci At San Diego With the cheers of a multitude of Olympic fans still ringing in his ears after upsetting the dope and beating Benny Miller the Jewish sensation last week, Sammy Jackson is at San Diego tonight to fight Charlie Feraci. MANAGER PRESENTS NEW CAR Following the Miller victory, Harvey Petit, Sammy's manager presented him with a new Ford roadster. Charlie Feraci who gave Baby Gans a tough fight here is the big card down at the border city and was signed to meet Young Harry Wills, but the 19-year old Jackson kid spoiled the match by knocking Wills out. The 9th Annual Pacific Coast Championships held under the auspices of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs at Santa Monica High School Courts, 4th and Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, Calif. Saturday and Sunday and Labor Day, August 30-31, Sept. 1, 1930. Tournament Committee— At last local fans are to have an opportunity to see a match between Jack McVey who came here predicted to jar the western middleweight camp, and "Ace" Hudkins who has been "cock-of-the-walk" around here for sometime. They will meet at the Olympic Auditorium on August 26th in a match that should be worth going to see, that is provided the stocky black boy from Chicago and points cast proves tough enough for the claws of the Nebraska Wild-cat. It will also be the first time most of the local fans have ever seen the almost idolize Hudkins against any colored boy as he has boxed very few in his career. This gave rise to an erroneous report two years ago that he drew whe color line on Young Harry Wills then at his best when both were wetterweights. 100 This the Hudkins boys hastened to deny through the colored press stating that "One Step Watson" Charlie Long and other colored Omaha fighters had been their closest pals. He boxed an exhibition bout here against Harry (Eubber) Johnson for the Urban League, Poor Kiddies Camp also. McVey though a veteran seems to lack color and did not make much of an impression in his first start here against a green though popular Mexican fighter, Carlo Peregrina at White Sox Park for Carlo Curtis. He gained a decision over him but did not damage the slugging Peregrina much. Consequently he has been idle here most of the time except for a few small shots at Southgate and other small clubs. Hudkins has not boxed since losing a close decision to the unorthodox Dave Shade on May 27th. The fact that he was not under his brothers management then is blamed for that. Now he is back with Clyde, Art is co-manager and Ab chief assistant to the famous "Cat." Experts figure that McVey with his unchanging style and slow foot work will be easily solved by the Nebraskan who leaps, whirls, slugs slashes and jabs relentlessly, like the wild-cat he is called.

Branff walked into the cafe and thundered "Stick 'em up," pointing a pistol at the crowd in the cafe. Skyward went all the hands in the place, in pairs, with the exception of Fred Wynne's. Fred, looking like a Singer midget beside the big bad man, let go a right to the jaw, followed quickly by a left to the big fellow's eye and down he went for a count of thirty. Leaping over the prostrate form of the bad man, Wynne rushed to the door and called a policeman, who had little difficulty in placing the behemoth under arrest. Wynne said he saw that the man had a toy pistol in his hands and placing his fists under the bandit's chin was nothing. ```markdown ``` OSCAR CLISBY JESSIE RAYFORDD Apex To Photograph Chorus Girl's Babies Although chorus girls are supposed as a general rule to be jedy frivolus butterfly creatures without family ties the belief does not apply to all.

N.P.-Entries and reservations from all points of the compass fore shadow an exciting and thrilling week of taut competition and pleasurable social contacts at Indianapolis from August 18th to 23rd. The climax of tennis events will be reached when the American Tennis Association opens its annual tournament on August 18th. With the assurance that all the sectional stars will be on hand among both women and men nothing can stop this show from being the keenest and most successful one to date. For the benefit of those who have never attended the "Nationals" before, a sketchy picture of some of its outstanding characters and players might be of interest. Edgar Brown—The aspect of a Hindu priest. Courteous ironic. A cool deliberate player, who knows percentage, possesses speed and accuracy and an uncanny power of anticipation. A worthy champion. James Stocks, California—A courageous bull-dog type with abundant speed and power and a near masterly of strokes. The current season should have given a valuable measure of experience and control to his grim lighting power. Ted Thompson—Washington, D. C. Unquestionably the most colorful player in our group Dazzling speed and control. His volleys from mid-court would seem impossible. A champion at heart who fights most brilliantly when on his back. A delightful personality is probably his greatest liability. Evre Saitch—New York—Another natural athlete with a vociferous temperament which in no way hurts his sollenid game. His volleys and service closely resemble Thompson's style. A fighting heart backed by physical stamina. Conradie Limpoo, Chicago—In appearance not rugged enough, but in fact he's all there. On the court he typifies the poetry of motion. Forehand drives and service of lightning swiftness and an all-around equipment. His only drawbacks are a bit of temperament which savors of self-consciousness, a brilliant performer who proposesesses any gallery. A. Graham, Cleveland—An around player who has risen with startling speed to a national contender. His peculiar habit is to upset players of higher rating with a fundamentally sound game and consistent stroking. McGriff and Downing. Virginia—How hard it is to think of them separately; as a doubles team they have long held the spotlight by virtue of their sparkling play and their most conspicuous exemplification of sportsmanship, courtesy, and etiquette, while their tennis games are always of championship calibre, theirs shall always be a greater contribution in the realm of faultless decorum mental attitude in the field of play, the duress of competition. Both dentists, one president of the A. T. C., and the other Southern Field Secretary. Dr. Ivison Hoage, referee—Implacable, hard-boiled, just. His administration of a tournament is something to be admired, frequently amusing, occasionally alarming, always incisive. The fans and eliminated are certain to be well entertained by the relentless succession of parties and dances arranged by the social committee. Accompanying the famous western star, Janies Stocks was said to be Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mills. Mr. Mills is president of the Western Federation of Tennis Players. Neither Juliette Harris, western champ, nor Josephine Brown secretary could attend the meet.
