KILLS MAN OVER CRAP GAME
VOLUME 43
KILL
ON THE SIDEWALK
BY C. A. B.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.---Romans 6:23.
POOPULATION DOUBLED
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA's population has increased at a rate of 125,000 per annum.
CONSTITUTION ANNIVERSARY
SEPTEMBER 17, 1930, marked the 143rd anniversary of the completion and signing of the Constitution of the United States.
WOMAN LAWYER FOR L. A.
ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1930, Zephyr Moore-Ramsey a 1922 Howard University la wgraduate was granted on motion permission to practice law in the State of California. It is said that in the near future Mrs. Ramsey will open palatial law offices in this city.
LADIES FIRST
IN THE EARLY History of this country the gentlemen in a case where a woman had received the nomination to the U. S. Senate, would have gracefully stepped aside, saying, "Walk right in, Madam," but then that was when men held women as inferior. It seems that the men in Illinois are all 'het' up because Mrs. McCormick is on her way to the United States Senate. They may squirm and holler all they please but nothing can be 'did' to stop Mrs. McCormick in her quest for proper recognition for women.
CENTRAL AVENUE
THE DUMP
EGGS! OF VICE laid in Hollywood somehow must hatch on Central avenue. Last Sunday's papers featured a conspiracy to overthrow Police Commissioner Walkup. However the papers made a Central avenue Negro politician the hero in the plot, nevertheless giving a Hollywood broker credit for the brains used.
The better class Negroes living in the vicinity of Central avenue resent the fact that it should be made the dump in matters of vice and corruption, and this particular case mentioned in the Sunday papers will help turn the light on the responsible individuals for this latest frameup, and if possible tell what it's all about.
A LONE WOMAN
A spectacle of dejection, she sat alone in court. The judge charged the jury, "You are to be governed by the evidence in this case and not by your passion or prejudice, etc., etc." Q. Do you remember her? A. I should say I do; she is a member of one of the best families of the South, a girl who enjoyed the advantages of a higher educational training and had the very best social contacts. Q. Do you know her?
A. Well, yes and yes. I met her some years ago when she with her husband and beautiful little baby girl came to Los Angeles at which time I learned also that she haled from a noble family.
Q. What brought on all oof this?
A. I know nothing about the case except what I read in the papers.
This was part of a whispered conversation we overheard in the courtroom, after which out of curiosity, which soon turned to human interest, we began turning, our amplifiers on all the different sections of the courtroom. Here and there were little groups of spectators. It was easy to determine which of these were Dr. Cooley's sympathizers and which those of his ex-wife, who was on trial, having some

THE MUCH DISCUSSED CONFERENCE RE LATING TO VICE CONDITIONS
The editor of this paper as a newspaper man was invited by Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth to set in on a conference with the officers of the Newton Street Division on Monday, September 5th, at 2 P. M. We informed Mr. Macbeth we would do our best to be present. We were about 20 minutes late and when we arrived we found Captain Hager, Col. Light, Sergeant Bergman, Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth and Geo. Brown in conference. We sat hard by, listened to a spirited conversation about various angles of police work, and we said nary a word—mean we never uttered one word—for we were asked to be present in the capacity of our profession.
The trend of what we heard was surely that of bettering conditions: that is to say, to catch more violators—particularly of those of the 18th Amendment.
How to do that was the bone of contention in which the officers, Mr. (Continued on Page Two)
CRAZED MAN RUNS AMUCK
CRAZED MAN RUNS AMUCK
(By A. N. P.)
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 15.—Lives of the five policemen and scores of pedestrians were endangered here. Tuesday afternoon, when George Hayes, 31, barricaded himself in a small house on 417 Seventh avenue, North, and began taking pot-shots at passersby.
Hayes became insane suddenly and ran amuck on the street, shooting at neighbors. Police were called and the battle was on. Every time a policeman or a pedestrian came under cover he fired a volley of shots at them.
This kept up for more than an hour, before tear gas bombs were brought into play.
Before he was overcome by the gas, Hayes destroyed everything in the room in which he had locked himself when officers finally crashed the door they found him lying in a semi-conscious state on a pile of debris in the center of the room.
Dr. J. J. Lentz examined him when he was brought to the local jail and adjudged him insane. He was immediately sent to the state asylum for the insane.
Utters Warning Against Dark Woman
(By A. N. P.)
Dalas, Texas, Sept. 15.—Calvin Houston, warns his friends against the wiles of slim, dark-skinned, slick haired women who wear light blue dresses and let purses dangle losely from their arms. Houston went into a local bank and deposited all but $3.50 of his money. Coming out of the bank, he was approached by a woman who answers the description that inspired his warning. She politely inquired whether he knew of a bank at which she could deposit her money with safety. Calvin pondered the question. When he was ready to give her an answer, she was out of the bank and down an alley. Then the bewildered Houston reported to police that he had lost $3.50.
YOUTH KNOCKS OVER STOVE; CAUSES FIRE
Searcy, Ark., Sept. 16. A fire caused when Tom James, a fourteen year old youth accidentally upset a stove in the rear of Forrest and Sons Grocery Store, completely destroyed the stock and building and caused more than $5,000 damages to an adjoining building.

M. McDUFF
The delegation consisted of Eugene Sorral, President State Association; L. M. McDuff, Grand Traveling Deputy; Lieut. M. W broady and wife, Dr. Foster of Phoenix, Arizona, and Mrs. Nola B. Murray. This motoring caravan in high spirits with their cars in high gear left Los Angeles, August 16th via the Santa Fe Trail. Having made a careful study of the route before leaving. We lost no time under way motored all night the first night arriving at Thorean, N. Mexico on the Continental divide about 2 A.M. on the night of the 17th. Stopping long enough to get a good meal and inhale a bit of the refreshing atmosphere of the high altitudes. We hurried on our way. Feeling we might lose too much time we all ordered eggs scrambled; no soft boiled.
From this point we moved down the Eastern slop enroute to Denver arriving in Trinidad. We were contéwhat fatigued so we spent a night there and on the next morning felt very much refreshed. Leaving Trinidad about 8 A.M. the next morning we struck a bee-line for Denver, (The Health Seekers Heaven).
Having wired ahead we were met in Denver by several brothers of the Denver local, where quarters had been acquired in the most popular hotel in the city.
Our stay of two days in Denver was marked with many delightful experiences social, sentimental and material; after thoroughly visiting the most

Your Life Or $10,000 Congressman DePriest
Chicago, Sept. 15.—(Special)—Two arrests have been made in the diabolic plot to extort from Congressman Oscar DePriest $10,000 under threat of death.
The names of the two suspects as given to the police are Solly Lawson, a milk wagon driver and Julius Link, a West Side politician.
The story goes that these two birds had been hired by enemies of DePriest to kill the congressman for a fee of $5,000 and instead of going ahead with the killing, decided to compromise with DePriest by agreeing not to kill him if he would add $5,000 and thereby making their fee $10,000.

PIONEER CHARACTER ENDS USEFUL CAREER
J. W. Coleman pioneer citizen of Los Angeles passed to the great beyond on last Monday afternoon at the age of sixty-five.
Mr. Coleman who had been in ill health for the past year suffered a stroke of paralysis several weeks ago as he stepped from his automobile at his hotel in Elsinore following a trip to Los Angeles.

Conn. Gov. Refuses Extradition of Negro To Alabama
New York, Sept. 12.—Governor John H. Turnbull of Connecticut has refused to honor extradition papers from Alabama, demanding the return there from Hartford of Johnny Williams, charged with the murder of Ethel White, a nineteen-year-old white girl, in Henry County, Alabama. Two officers from Henry County had to return without their man, after the Hartford branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urged Governor Trumbull not to permit the extradition. Governor Trumbull sold the officers he could not honor the extradition papers because a grand jury in Ala. (Continued on Page Two)
Mrs. Moore, Former Wife of Dr. Mahlon Cooley, Found Guilty of Assault With Deadly Weapon
Whites Force Negro To Quit Jobs
(By A. N. P.)
Cleveland, Tenn., Sept. 15.—History repeated itself here this week, when a group of armed white mountaineers called upon and forced H. O. Boyd, white highway engineers to discharge seventen Negro laborers working on the state highway which passes thru this section.
The first expulsion of Negroes on the part of the ignorant whites of the Ducktown Copper Basin, a mountain settlement, occurred some forty years ago, when these white folks opined that the Negroes were a bit better educated and not quite so indolent as they were. Since that time, until the arrival of the construction gang, no Negroes have lived, in around or near the section.
Last Thursday when the highway reached the outskirts of the section, spies from "white man's land" saw seventeen Negro laborers working on trucks and pitch camp. They immediately reported the matter to their superiors and Monday evening a band of armed whites called upon the superintendent and told him that the Negroes could not remain there. He dismissed the committee with a wave of the hand and continued with the work. Tuesday an officer of the law called upon Boyd's superior. Superintendent McMurray, and informed him and his wife that if the Negroes were not discharged he would be dealt with according to the law of the mountains. The Negroes were discharged and sent back to Nashville.
The committed in discussing the matter with Boyd informed him that the action on the part of the citizens was not prompted by the desire of whites to work on the project but upon their determination that Negroes would not be permitted to remain any length of time in that section. Since the discharge of the Negro laborers only one white man has applied for a job. It is believed that whites from other sections of the state will be sent to complete the work.
Shoots Mother While in Bath Tub
(By A. N. P.)
Winnsboro, La., Sept. 15.—Lou Grimble, 46, of Liddieville, near here, was wounded in the left shoulder at her home by a bullet from a gun in the hands of her son, Wallace Bell. 22. The woman was shot while in a bathtub. Bell is held at the Franklin parish jail and has no statement regarding the shooting.
Another Louisiana Convict Slain
(By A. N. P.)
New Orleans, La., Sept. 16.—The Louisiana State Penitentiary made another bid for national notice in a riot at the rice farm which the penitentiary is planting and harvesting, when Curtiss Blackwell, a leader in the mutiny, was killed after he had thrown a piece of iron in the direction of Captain W. W. Pecue and the guards. A trusty guard, John Stovall, fired the fatal shot. The disorders was caused by poor food and fourteen hours a day labor.
A jury in Judge Ray Sohauer's court late on Wednesday, after being out for a few hours, returned a verdict of guilty on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
This was the result of the trial which had been in progress for the preceding two days of the People vs. Mrs. Moore, charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon upon her former husband, Dr. Mahlon Cooley on the night of June 12, 1930.
The conviction of Mrs. Moore carries a penalty which will cause her to spend time behind the grey walls of the San Quentin penitentiary, unless she should be so fortunate as to receive probation.
This is hardly likely on account of the fact that it was an aggravated case and committed with her present husband present. As a matter of fact her defense was that her husband did the shooting and not herself. She will come up for sentence or Monday.

COMMUNITY CHEST
(Herein is presented the first of a series of ten interviews with prominent men and women on fundamental deas underlying the Community best idea. Various phases of social welfare work are here discussed by specialists in their respective fields. Their comments are both interesting and particularly timely in view of the approaching annual fund raising campaign of the Community Chest—Editor.)
1. MAYOR JOHN PORTER
Setting aside numerous important 'matters of state," forgetting for the moment that a number of people were waiting, in his outer office, for an opportunity to discuss city business, Mayor John Porter settled back comfortably in his chair and signified to the interviewer that he was ready to be interviewed.
"The Community Chest has always seen near to my heart," the Mayor stated. Being informed of the contemplated interviews with a number of other leading men and women, he said, "I will look for the interviews; intelligent discussion of the Community Chest means 'an eventual understanding of its problems that will make for the greater happiness of our citizens."

WHITE BARBER MURDERS COLORED BOY OVER CRAP GAME
A roaring gun in the hand of B. Franklin snuffed out the life of a young colored mechanic, J. R. Gentry, 22, in Franklin's barber shop at 424% East Fifth Street.
The tragedy took place last Wednesday, Sept. 17th, and following the Coroners inquest yesterday, Franklin was held for murder. The re-constructed story reveals that Gentry, Franklin and his assistant barber, Al Cooper were engaged in a crap game in the back of the shop. After losing $170 Gentry resentful at evidence of cheating grabbed his money still on the floor in Cooper's possession and started to leave with it. Franklin at the time out of the game fired at him first in the back room then fired five more shots at Gentry as the colored joy attempted to reach the street.
At the inquest a white by-stander, named McCarthy testified that he wrenched the gun from Franklin's hand after the shooting, and that the fatally wounded boy was staggering to the front of the shop, when he McCarthy first arrived.
Al Cooper under well directed questioning by Demote District Attorney Leon Whiteker gave facts very incriminating to Franklin. Among these were that crap games were customary at the shop; that he and Franklin never opposed each other in them, that he usually won and got 50 per cent of his winning.
HAS YOUNG WIFE
The deceased was a mechanic by trade working a year at a garage at 35th and Central Avenue. With his bride or a year about his age he lived at 1350 East 57th Street.
He leaves several aunts and cousins and grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dock Donnelly of Alabama Street, Watts. The date for the funeral had not been set as we go to press, but he body is in charge of Angelus Funeral Home. An early preliminary trial of the murderer is expected.
CLAUDE V. PITTS TO THE FORE
(By: IDELL BATEMAN)
Enjoying a disinction impossible by local directors of Choruses; having had a year of active training under one of the highest salaried musicians of America, Victor Baravalle of the R. K. O. Studios: Mr. Claude V. Pitt, who was already recognized as a conductor of music both in Southern as well as Northern California, comes to the front at this time with one of the finest organizations in the Chorus ring. Organized barely three weeks, among the thirty-five persons comprising the personell of the chorus are singers acceded to be some of the best talent of which the west boasts. There are those in the group that are professional, having been in the limelight of entertaining both on the legitimate as well as the cinemac stage, for years.
Passing the Congregational Church during rehearsal, one would think that a mighty concourse of all the singers in California had gathered in one grand phalanx, so effective is their ensemble work.
If the expression, "Be happy and get lucky," holds water, then these need not the charms of the rabbit foot. It is already the lockest group in town. The spirit of good fellowship, freedom of expression of one's personality, minus the domineering of any one or group over the others is one of the remarkable, harmonious features of this group of harmony makers.
Further expression of this "Be happy and Get Lucky!" Spirit is demonstrated in the fact that the group and their friends will dance to their success, Saturday night the 20th at the Sojourner Truth Home.

Says African Blacks Are Progressive
New York, Sept. 17.—(ANP)—Col. C. Willington Furlong, explorar and author has returned from an 8,000 mile trek by motor boat and afloat, through Eastern and Central Africa, bringing with him relics of the Sir Henry Stanley expedition to find David Livingstone, ethnological records, or pigmy tribes, a collection of native materials, skins and 10,000 feet of motion picture and 3,000 still negatives.
Colonel Furlong, who has made a number of successful explorations in many quarters of the globe, returned to Africa to study specific scientific problems, to gather data on animal natural life and to learn more of Europe-African cochiditions.
He found game diminishing and the natives making progress under the tutelage of "right thinking whites in the colonies and the colonial administration of Great Britain and Belgium." He visited Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, Sudan and the Belgian Congo. "Africa embodies the greatest natural mysteries of the world," he said. "It is a land of contrasts. The blacks are making progress in Africa, due to what the white man is giving them, due to the definite effort of the white man to help. The greatest problem is to give them the right things and 'avoid the destructive. I don't mean the morally right, but the intelligent right.
"A few years ago among African tribes, slainry was rampant, internecine wars were rife among tribes cannibalism flourished among the tribes, and can still be found today witchcraft was and is prevalent and superstition was more extensive than in any other part of the world. Today we see slavery stamped out, peace among the tribes, cannibalism, except in remote corners, reduced to a minimum, enlightment and education beginning to make inroads on superstition and witchcraft. There are tremendous strides in hygiene. All this is due to the efforts of right-thinking whites. Of course, mistakes occur, but the result is a credit to the influential administration methods.
"One of the principal accomplishments of the expedition was the study of the pigmies in the iti forests. I lived and slept n their camps and was told that it was the first white man to have that honor.
They are interesting and remarkable little people and I consider them the finest if not the most expert woodsman in the jungle. I have a number of pigmy objects which will go to some museum.
Colonel Furlong is bringing back relics of the Stanley and Livingstone expeditions. He succeeded in locating an old native, probably the last survivor, Chengwimbi, who was one of five who carved the body of Livingstone back to the railroad. He

Do We Put Too Much
Emphasis on Health
BY ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M. D.
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Under the above title the celebrated columnist Bruce Barton writes on health:
A man who knows Scotland told me of his experience with a Scotch sheepherd. The sheepherd seemed to have an uncanny power over the sheep. When he sent out his own peculiar call, every one of them, no matter how distant, raised his head and started straight home.
The visitor begged for a chance to try his calling powers. He cupped his hands over his mouth and emitted a noise which to his own ears sounded exactly like the sheepherd's call. Not a single sheep responded. "Don't he discouraged," said the sheepherd. "Try again. Maybe there is a sick one in the flock; and if so, he will listen to you. When sheep are healthy they will follow only their own sheepherd, but a sick one will go off after anybody."
Every once in a while somebody rises up to criticize us modern parents for devoting too much time and attention to our children's physical well-being. Says such a critic: "Of course, the body is important, but it was given to us not to be exalted, but to be disciplined and put down. To lay so much emphasis on the physical is paganism. Our righteous ancestors disregarded the body and paid attention to their souls." This is true, and it might be added that our ancestors, by neglecting their bodies in the interests of their souls, beat us to heaven by an average of 20 years. They matured young, worried much, and died in what we now regard as early middle life.
Morsoven I have always questioned whether Iey wee, truly religious, whether it is possible to be religious in the best sense if one is sick and rubed by fears.
Old Simeon Stylites believed that it is the business of a saint to mortify the body. He chained himself to the top of a pillar and became so loathsome that worms lived in his flesh, and he did not attempt to pick them out, because he regarded his sufferings as a means of grace.
How such an idea could have been born out of the teachings of the healthy outdoor Jesus is one of the mysteries of the ages. He mortified no bodies. He healed them, built them up and sent their owners on their
also had a long talk with Chief Godoy, a son of Chief Matibu, who was one of Stanley's closest native associates. From Chief Godoy, he obtained a letter written by Lady Stanley, a gold, headdress and a bracelet.
The explorer is a native of Boston, although he lived for a long time in Oregon. He plans to put his latest adventures in book form at an early date.

St. Paul, the great disciple, loved

If it be argued that most of the philosophers have been men of poor health. I venture to contend that the world has more philosophy than it needs or can even use. And that what is more important is more normal, laughing, optimistic women and men.
Health is prophylactic. A healthy boy would much rather go to a ball park than a saloon. It's the weak, nervous creatures who demand the stimulus of dissipation. Just as the weak, sick sheep go off when a false voice calls.
Spirit Prisoners Away To Escape Mob Violence (By A. N. P.)
Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 10.—To prevent a probable lynching, officers here spirited away a three prisoners suspected of assaulting a white woman near here Sunday night. The officers refused to reveal the whereabouts of their prisoners.
Sam Johnson, 22, Ellis Byrd, 19, and James Thomas, were arrested Sunday charged with having attacked a white woman. The youths denied that they had committed the crime and told officers that they had recently come here from Hathaway, Texas.
The report spread throughout the mining districts and news was brought to the city officials that a mob was being formed to storm the local jail with the intention of lynching the suspects. Immediately upon receiving the report, the three youths were hurried into automobiles and rushed to another city.
The alleged attack occurred on the highway near here. The woman and her husband were motoring to this city, when they were set upon by three men who gagged and hog-tied her husband and attacked her. After the attack, the white man testified that his wife too was trussed up, their money taken and the bandits went on their way.

RAILROAD CLATTER—COAST DOINGS
By Charles L. Upton
Friday, September 19; 1930
UPTON SAYS
All the elite in town are mak-
ing elaborate preparations to at-
tend the Musical Extraordinary
given by the Clef Ensemble un-
der the expert direction of Mad-
ame Mozelle Te Outley, leading
musical directress .of the city at
‘the second Baptist Church,
‘Tuesday, Sept. 23rd. Dress-
makers report’ that. Madame
Outley’s coming event is the di-
rect cause of a tremendous in-
crease in their business and hail
her as the Goddess of Prosper-
ity. One modiste has been work-
ing franticafly on a French de-
signed gown which will cost its
‘wearer $375.00. Phat the house
‘will be sold out is a certainty,
and is evidenced by the fact
that four ticket agencies | were
sold out last week. From ail in-
dications the audience will be
dressed in the height of fashion.
Several of the leading clubs in
the city are attending the Musi-
cale in a body, and in fact, ev-
‘erybody that is anybody will be
there. My advice to those who
love melody mingled with sooth-
ing harmony is to secure a tick-
et to the Clef Ensemble the eve-
ning of Sept. 23rd.

J. W. PERRYMAN FIRED
One More Faithful Service Man
Added to: Mirsade: Lone List
J. W. Perryman, one of the best
Pullman porters in the Los Angeles
district was discharged from the. ser-
vice last week, adding another victim
td’ the already, long list of this dis-
trict. Perryman has been a marked
man for some time, and it comes as
no surprise to the writer that “he was
finally put on the spot by Old Biue
Beard, one of the most heartless rul-
ers of modern times. *
Former superintendents of the Los
Angeles district who knew how to
treat good men, and who knew who
could render fervice, respected Porter
Perryman ané thought a lot of him,
not gnly for his high class standard
of service, but his personality and
ability.
Mr. Charles P. Bayer, sécretary of
the Dos Angeles Chamber of | Com-
merce once said, no good will exeur-
sion sponsored by that body, was con-
sidered a success. without the ser-
vices of Porter Perryman, and he
“backed this statement up by seing to
it that Perryman went on all of his
tours. However, it seems useless to
compare the opinion of Mr. Bayer,
with that of Old Blue Beard, whose
ideas of service are limited,
S. B. EVANS STILL OFF ©
‘that the motto of Old Blue Beard
is “Every Tub"! seems certain as we
see faithful service porters fired and
laid off every week we go to press.
S. B. Evans, one of the old land marks
of the Union Pacific railroad is still
pounding the pavement under the
‘wrath of Old Biue Beard. Evans’was
pulled down some time ago, and from
the looks of the layout Iam afraid
there is not much hope for Kim, as far
as consideration from Old Blue Beard
he is burnt up. ie
I am told that when Old Blue Beard
departed from the state of Florida,
he made a solemn vow to the head
Keagle of the Ku Klux Kian, that he
‘would fire at least one Puilmart porter
a month as long as be Wad the power
to do so. Being a faithful Klansman
he is living strictly up to his word. If
it were below the Mason Dixon line}
the word fire as mentioned above
would mean by the torch. If Evans
cannot pull strings in Chicago, he had
better start looking for another job—
Blue Beard has no mercy.
B. A. HICKS FIRED FOR DE-
FENDING SELF
Although this little incident hap-
pened some time ago, the Clatter has
been waiting to sce the actual out.
come beiore speaking on the matter.
Porter B. A. Hicks, a young man
the service wo has enough mankoce
about lum ta defend himself regardless
of the circumstances, was fired cold
turkey some time ago for hitting 2
dining car steward who had grossly
insulted him, However, Blue Beard,
@ true and loyal Klansman, has not
arrived at the point where he can be-
lieve that a Negro can be insulted,
and by a white man. Boy, don't
make me laugh! B. A. Hicks, full of
the blood of young America, tried his
luck on the Southern dining car stew-
ard’s jaw with much success.: When
the report reached Old Blue Beard he
was furious, and could not wait for
Hicks to arrive. . ,
I am told that he was thoughtful
enough to surround his noble self with
detectives, however, before he invited
porter Hicks to come into his den:
Against a hot-blooded American Tike
Hicks, he was afraid to trust himself
with just his) Man Friday; anyway,
Klansmen believe in’ working in num-
bers, He snickered gleefully as he
imade out is’ moathly report 19 the
head Keagle of the State of Florida
as follows: Just fired another one,
whom I wish’ now that I had sent to
Plorida on an extra car. Will try and
ship you a few as soon as the rates go
on. ‘The porters in this section of the
country are entirely too smart to white
men, but I will take it out of them i
I have to fire every’ last one from
Carey Smith on down.
+” “Respectfully yours,
OLD BLUE BEARD,
GRIEVING COMMITTEE HOLDS
MEETING —_
The Grief and Sobbing “Committee
held a meeting last Friday in which
they were to decide on the fates oi
several porters who have fallen into
their clutches. That they will back up
the law as it is Jaid down by Old Blue
Beard goes without saying. The com-
mittee is calied as a (matter of form,
and not as a matter oi justice. We
shall await the resulty with interest.
PORTERS STILL FASTING
Pullman Porters are’ still fasting un-
der the orders of Old) Blue Beard.
vee
PORTERS FAIL TO HEED
WARNING OF RAILROAD
CLATTER CALLED: INTO
OFFICE
The writer is well aware of the fact
that a number of porters in the dis-
trict consider the Railroad Clatter ar
agitator, as well as the officials of
the Pullman Company. Well, fair
enough. I am. big enough to over-
look some things, and I intend to
keep right_on agitating to. my heart's
content.” Sometimes 4 little agitating
does a fot of good; I can at least speak
of matters that are unfair without
fear or favor. I admit that it is im-
possible to please everybody espec-
ially the stool pigeons.
Recently Old Blue Beard summoned
2 number of our leading porters on
the’ coast line into his den and laid the
law down in plain, hard-boiled terms.
He told these wise gentlemen to
‘cease frequenting their favorite wat-
ering hole in Frisco, that if he had to
‘call: them in again about it, it would
be “every tub.”
“It was not a strange thing to the
‘writer that he-had all of the names of
the “wet gang.” He has had them for
some time, and has been waiting to
see just how far the boys would go.
The only thing that | surprises | the
writer is that he did not fire the whole
gang.
If you will dig up a copy of the Rail-
‘road Clatter ,dated July 18th, you will
find that you were warned’ in plain
words about being closely watched.
The heading of the article in question
reads as follows: Number Five in
-Friseo Being Watched, But you paid
‘no attention to my warning. What
do you think about it now, Mr. Mitch.
ell and the rest of the “wets” who
were called in? They’ tell me that
‘Dave Rosemond won't even take a
drink of water now. Aimee McPher-
‘son is a back number compared to Old
Biue Beard when it comes to convert-
ing the boys who like their “Tea.” I
‘now warn you again ta lay away from
number five. You ate still being
watched, and reported, If you must
have your “Tea,” wait until you get
home, and then as a further precau-
tion, be sure and pull all of your
shades down, and KNOW the porter
whom you invite to sip with you, oth-
‘erwise Old Blue Beard wil have you
in his den and:you won't know how it
allhappened.
PREACHER J. A. GREEN TURNS
NOISY PORTERS IN*
Brother: J. A. Green, better known
in railroad circles as Preacher Green,
likes to have peace and quietwde when
he lays down to rest in San Francisco.
This, Brother Green has not had for
many, many trips. After a hard
night's work between Los Angeles and
Frisco, Brother Green |did not feel in
the mood to lay awake half of the
day listening to a lot/ of hard-boiled,
noisy porters talk at the big gate. Be-
sides the Rev. had his Bible to study,
and’ this he could not do with alt the
noise. I am told that he begged for
quiet without avail, so he took matters
into his own hands: and reported the
case to headquarters. Whew! ah, boy!
anybody ‘can sleep in that ofd tourist
car mow; you can hear a pin drop.
‘The biggest trouble the gang has now
is to keep from ovefsleeping. Atta
boy, Rey.

JOE HOLMES GETS PINK SLIP
FOR STUDEBAKER
Joe Holmes was all smiles last week,
and he had a perfect right to be so.
Aiter many hard months of sacrific-
‘ing he is now the’sole owner of a
high-powered Studebaker, and proudly
produced the pink slip to prove the
fact. If I remember rightly the last
car Joe bad was. ancient indeed. He
purchased it from Mr. Kenney, then
platform man, but now a Pullman con-
ductor. Joe would start down Cen-
tral avenue in his old: bus-in great or-
der, but he always had to pay the
garage a visit before he got back
home. But now Joe can ask any oi
the boys for the road and not take any
back_talk. His Studebaker is king of
the roads. If you do not believe so.

here white men are nggmitted fo car

the white man was enjoying the pro-

Wie address our remarks this weel
to the ydurig: music student in hop
that a seed may be planted that wil
bring forth good fruit later on.
We often wonder how'interested ou
students are in the art of music. Doe
it mean merely a pleasant pastime, o
is it a duty that must be gruagingly
done, or are they indifferent to the
finest of alf the arts. We urge them
to seriously think about. the subject
OF all the gifts “from the creator,
music is our greatest. No race of peo-
ple is more greatly endowed with this
gift than the Negro, Why should he
not develop it to its fullest. Develop-
ment means. work. sincere — work,
coupled with ambition and determina:
tion to succeed. And now may we ask
a few direct auestions?
Does music mean anyting to you
other than a few jazz tunes dear. stu-
dent? Did you know that some of the
gteatest thoughts and loftiest ideas
are hidatn in the works of the masters
and. only await your sympathetic
touch tobe made to live again? Did
you ever stop to realize that your in-
ability to appreciate good music was
due to a deficiency in your education?
Of what use are sculpture, painting,
literature, music, poetry, architecture
and other arts if one’s life is tot made
more enjoyable; more profitable and
his soul uplifted and enobled by them?
Do you know that by studying the
arts you are developing the higher side
of your character?
In life, the first principle of a peo-
ple is that of securing the means of a
livelihood. A nation first builds, then
develops its natural resources,” then
urns toward education “and. finally,
when the wants of the physical man

Everything is quiet on Georgia's, lat

One man has been lynched by a mob
another was shot aml killed by polie
officers, one police officer was killed
three wounded, the militia called ou
and an inquest held in the lynching
which revealed that the victim ha
come: to his death at the hands o
“anknown parties”,
Mob violence relgnell hire for some
three days folldwing thb killing o}
Police Chief Robert Freeman and the
wounding of thre officers in a pitch
ed battle with George Grant and
“Buber” Bryan. Grant was lynched
when a mob of savage whites tm
vaded the jail, over the “protest and
pleas” of the officials and shot the
helpless man to death.
Bryan escaped ang for. several
hours eluded the posse in quest of
him. ‘Tuesday, a group of officers
headed by Deputy Sherif! HB.
‘Thompson apd Deputy. Edgar Malone
returned here and said that they had
found Bryan in a nearby swamp dead
from gunshot wounds, which ag in the
case of-Grant, were fired by “un.
known parties.” f
When the coroner arrived at the
spot where the officers had found the
dead man; he discovered that tate
had played an ugly trick on the offi-
cers. Pryan was not dead but was
badly wounded. At this point the of-
ficers changed their report. Malone
declared that he and his brother off
cers, early, Tuesday morning ap
proached a house occupied by Ne-
eroes and, that Bryan ran out and
fired two shots at them and fled. All
of the officers fired at him and the
fugitive dropped. He did not explain
just why the man was left for dead,
without investigation. .
Fearing that the prisoner would be
aken from them the officers requested
a military escort to the local jail,
whidh was granted. Another man is
peing’ sought by the mob and the off-
vers of the law, who is suspected of
navitig been implicated in the killing

God intended us to we ‘cannot expect

mit me to relate the hanging of a sev-
enteen year old Negro boy 1 witnessed
in a middle-western state a few years
ago.
This young boy had been accused of
attacking a twenty-nine year old white
woman. No evidence was offered to
the effect that he was guilty. It made
no difference to the killers whether he
‘was innocent or guilty he was a Negro

to kill must be satisfied. Admittance
to the jail was made-without difficulty

Dragging the boy, a child in years,
they hung him to a telephone pole
while his aged mother was forced to
look upon him. It was the most ter-
rifying and ghastly sight I’ had ever
seen. It was unbelieveable to ‘see
these humans conducting themselves
in such a manner. The hanging being
finished, the killers went to. their
homes fo eat, Grink and tell their’ chil-
dren the pleasure they had in putting
to death a boy. I might add that be-
cause I voiced my opinion I was plac-
ed under arrest and lodged in the city
jail. However, I was quickly released
due to the fact that I was a Police Re-
porter for one of the largest publica-
tions in the middle-west.

'8- | CERNING HER BODY—
Last week we began the quotation
of a lettef- received by Kathleen from
her father, Dr. H. N. Sesco, Captain of
the Medical Corps, U. S. ‘Army from
somewhere iin France in 1918. Dr,
Sisco emphasizes to this daughter the
value of her health, pointing out that
the feeble are a handicap to them.
selves\and'to the communtiy.” In th
issue we shall continue the quotation
from hat letter, and 1 think that you
will agfce jwith’ me that it is indeed
worthy to be read often.
BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
AND TO OTHERS—
“In all that _you do work with as
much speed as may..be consistent
with thoroughness . and_ accuracy.
speed may be cultivated until it be-
comes a habit. -
“Do not fe ard and bumble
work. The dishpan and the wash tub
are both ancient and honorable. They
are the aristocrats of the kitchen.
Despise them not. Be open. “Be
frank.. Be honest. Be true, always
to youfself and to others. He that’
‘covereth up a matter runneth the risk
of a rude awakening.
You are optimistic you are not
given much to wrong. This fs a valu-
able asset in life’s account. True.
optimism, however is never blind to
facts.
KEEP. GOOD COMPANY—
‘Keep good company. Choose only
‘companons—only helpful .com-
jPenons. Discriminate im your friend-
‘ships; youth is often’ influenced by its
‘associates.
READ GOOD BOoOKs—
“Read good books, some fiction is
worth while. Its diction is pure and
ts moral tone is elevating. Some
magazine novels, though, are cheap;
they represent impossible situations
and false ideals. ‘They excite but do
not instruct. ‘Whey consume valuable
time and create a morbid appetite for
thrills. Avoid them.
“It has béen remarked that you are
now fifteen. This means that you are
passing from “girlhood into woman.
ood. This transition ‘period is al-
ways accompanied by certain phys!
elal changes and emotional phenom-
ana.
FROM GIRLHOOD TO
WOMANHOOD—
“Varfous feelings af unrest may
come over one, tendencies to dis-
satisfaction, or questions or doubts.
You are to guide your feelings; they
tre not to lead you astray. ‘There
may be an unconscious longing for

RACE FORUM AND VAN PRAAG—
The Inter-Racial Forum will have
its regular meeting in the lecture
room of the Public Library, corner of
Walnut and Carlyle, Sunday from
2:30 to 5 p.m.
Henri A. Praag will have charge of the program. Mr. Van Praag will speak as well as play violin selections. The Forum feels greatly honored in procuring the service of such an eminent musician. This virtuoso has played in the leading musical centers of Europe and America. He has conducted, played in string ensembles and toured as a soloist. He is well-known by High school and college students throughout Southern California, and his willingness to play at the Forum Sunday is explained on the website of the person interested in student activities and especially inter national and inter-racial organizations. Mr. Van Praag was born in Holland where there is no such thing as color line. His daughter, Marle, will sing a few numbers. It is Van Praag who will conduct the Pasadena Municipal band in its concert at the Rose Bowl Sunday afternoon, Sept. 28.
WARNING
If you have news for the California Eagle send it to me, Carl Echols, 555 Westgate street, Pasadana—Phone Wakefield 4271. News sent directly to the Eagle office runs the risk of not being published until I have seen it; of course this means delay in publication.
SOCIAL AND PERSONAL—
Mr. Paul Moore has returned to Collegiate Institute, West Virginia. Mr. Moore is a chemistry teacher at the institute.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mills spent a few days at Big Bear.
It will interest the many friends of Miss Ruth Moore to learn that she has taken charge of the Y. W. C. A. in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The inimitable Henry Prince has returned to Pasadena for an indefinite stay. Mr. Prince formerly of this city, has been playing in some of the leading musical centers in Chicago. Young Pasadenaans will hear the ivories tickled as only the famous Henry can tickle them.
The reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burton in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Mills (newlyweds) was one of the smartest affairs of the season. It was held at the palatial residence of the Burtons on Morton avenue. The beauty that met the eye of the bachelor everywhere, the soiling undertone of music that flooded the reception room constant and the complete abandon. In spite of its "entertaining" one of a bit of heaven here on earth. Mesdames Booker, Credic, Corry, Parrish, C. E. Mills, Ollie Ann Robinson and others were in the receiving line.
YOUNG MINISTER
Rev. Lloyd Calmore has returned to Western College where he will continue his ministerial course of studies. The college is located at Kansas City, Mo.
A WOMAN LAWYER—
Mrs. Zevil Moore Ramsey was admitted to the bar in Los Angeles Saturday. Mrs. Ramsey, formerly of East Chicago, and a graduate of Howard University, also passed the bar examination in St. Louis, Mo. It is said that she was the first woman. Mrs. Ramsey has to have that honor. Mrs. Ramsey plans to open her office in Los Angeles. More power to such a progressive spirit.

FAIR OAKS GOLF COURSE—
The very pleasant news reaches us that the golf location on South Fair Oaks will be reopened soon for business. It was necessary to close the course for a few days, but Mr. Patterson informs us that he hopes to be open for business within a day or so. It is the duty of every loyal man and woman, young and old, to assist Mr. Patterson and help him to operate this course successfully. I understand that Mr. Patterson's golf course is the only one in Los Angeles or Pasadena that is owned and operated by a Negro. Let us boost Mr. Patterson.

THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Mrs. Wm. Prince
One of the smartest weddings of recent years took place the evening of the 7th inst. at the First A. M. E. Church of Pasadena, California, where Mrs. Susie Harper of Atlanta, Ga became the bride of Rev. Wm. Prince assistant pastor of the First A. M. E. Church. Rev. George F. Martin and Rev. J. H.

Frank Prince served his brother as best man. A program of vocal and violin numbers were, rendered by Mrs. J. R. Watkins, Mrs. Margaret Prince Hubert, and Mr. Arthur Prince. The wedding setting was most unique, entering the large auditorium from the front doors, fortie matrons, close friends, fortie to the strains of "Loves Old Sweet Song" gracefully took their stations on the roostrum and choir loot. Their lovely varicolored gowns, beautiful bouquets and picture hues created a most colorful garden presenting a setting of urpasing lovefulness.

After a reception at the home of the bride's sister, Rev. and Mrs. Prince left by motor for a short honeymoon. They are at home to their many friends at 384 N. Vernon.
GOV. REFUSES EXTRADICTION OF NEGRO TO ALA.

bama had failed to indict Williams six months after the crime, which had been committed in 1928. There was therefore no legal indication that Williams was in any way connected with the murder. Williams had been working for a year and four months in Hartford, in a barret factory, before extradition attempt was made. Williams was represented by Benedict M. Holden, and Howard P. Drew, attorneys who had been retained by the Hartford branch of the N. A. A. C. P.
Williams stated his belief to representatives of the N. A. A. C. P that the white girl was killed by a white suitor, whom she had refused to marry. He said he had had no personal acquaintance with the white girl.
Officers of the Hartford N. A. A. C. P. who were instrumental in procuring the liberation of Williams, stated their belief that Williams was wanted in order to procure a spectacular conviction for political reasons and said they opposed extradition because it was clear Williams would not be given a fair trial if returned to Alabama.

It is needless to say that Mrs. Moore was nervous for such is the natural consequence for him or her who awaits the decision of twelve men and women, composing the jury in any case, but particularly where the charge is a felony. Being prosecuted by the father of her child and deserted by the husband who is now her partner, Mrs. Madaline Cooley-Moore, this little mother, is not only an object of pity but a subject for charity. On the other hand courtroom spectators are persuaded from time to time to turn not unsympathetic glances on Dr. M. C. Cooley, who hobbles in the court on a eaac, his face decorated with bans and guards, the ugly wounds, the result of gun shots.

Police Conference Creates Big Stir
(Continued from Page One)
Macbeth, neither either. Brown ever cid come even close to getting together.
Certain officers were proposed to become a part of the Vice Squad by these men to these officials to more efficiently curb the activities of wholesale liquor traffic, etc.
The men proposed, however, were non-acceptable to the Newton Street Division officers and they did not hesitate to say so, giving as a reason that they had no confidence in them. On the other hand a like opinion was expressed by the Attorney as to the officers attending the conference.
This writer in the entire conference had not one word to say. We had no occasion to say a word, we were not asked to, and we were only present as aforestated in the capacity of a newspaperman.
We were of the opinion and as you have had no occasion to change the belief, that there was a sincere effort for NO PROGRAM in this district, the things sought was to block the importation of the wholesale delivery into the district by the liquor barons, in other words, to block the exploitation of the people of the district by unscrupulous caterers for the boot-lagging of liquor.
We certainly believed Mr. Macbeth to be sincere and only when proved otherwise can we change that belief. We cannot say anything to the contrary of Capt. Hague on his associates for we must likewise grant they are also sincere until it is proved otherwise. They simply on this occasion had no common ground.
We have heard Mr. Macbeth in public as well as private denounce the exploitation of our people, both at this particular time and in the many years that we have known him.
On this particular phase we thought he was right and were behind him 100 per cent, and we will continue to be so long as he is not proven untrue to his trust and if such a thing is provable, of course we will denounce him as we would any other who would betray his people.
The stand of this paper for law, order and decency, has ever been known as the terror to all crooks and evil-doers with no exception. We have fought the Chinese crooks and lottery hustlers, crooked politicians and in the Mayor Goodman regime, our files were a text book in the grand jury room in farring out the evils thereof. Now then, if there are any charges, put all parties on the spot, and let's have a show-down. For surely if there is any pernicious, unlawful or unjust representation the people should be made acquainted with the facts.
chapter in the social life of Los Angeles' bourgeoisie.
We sat meandering, awaiting the return of the jury. We looked first at the doctor, who had been bruised and then at the ex-wife, who had bruised, and then at those who hated the woman because she had sinned but pitied the man because he had been sinned against. Said we to ourselves: "The wages of sin are truly death, but the gift of God is eternal life." I friend of thinking here was disturbed by the return of the jury, who stood before the judge, this jury of twelve men and a woman, and declared that while they found Mr. Moore guilty of the first act but not guilty of the second room.
(Continued from Page One) ball climaxed our visit on the 3rd interesting parts of the city; a grand night.
Denver's swellid and high society were well represented and the most cheerful greetings were extended from everyone we came in contact with. Leaving Denver about 2 A. M. we arrived in Omaha about 8 P. M. of the same day, stopping at the Broad View Hotel managed by two refined and cultured widows. Their diplomacy and knowledge of entertaining were marked characteristics in harmony with the name of the Hotel.
Anyone going to Omaha looking for a nice place of lodging will avail themselves of a rare treat by going to the Broadview Hotel, conducted by Mmes. E. W. Wagner and J. A. Knight. After feasting on those delicious meals and resting on those wonderful beds unparalleled in comfort and quality we are now off for Chicago, the Negro heaven.
with wonderful driveways and practically no speed limit we left a cloud of circling dust behind us dashing across the center of the middle west, arriving in Chicago where we were by the Peerless Three, Miss Lill Cash, Ms. Maud Lewis and husband. They knew how. Mr. Lewis conducts a barbecue stand in the 4300 block on Indiana avenue and joined to our heart's content. We were then shown to Mrs. Cook's who conduct an apartment rooming house where we were comfortably housed until we were off for Detroit.
From Chicago we sped over to Detroit where we met a bunch of old antlers grazing around over the city, busy discussing measures to be introduced in the convention, the principal one being where will we meet another year. Officer McDuff had acquired quarters with his cousin Mrs. Awwanda Williams, a very cultured young woman from Kansas City and Mrs. Alberta Raynard of Detroit, all housed in the same building. Next in order was preparation which only required a short time. CONVENTION IN SESSION
After the convention was opened and reports of different committees were received, J. Finley Wilson was elected by acclamation having no opposition. Many matters of interest were brought before the house, some provoking comment and support, others being lost. Good feeling prevailed for the greater part throughout the convention, there being no excitement precipitated other than choosing the next place of meeting. Philadelphia getting the next meeting in 1931. Hardy was this matter settled when I. Gene) gained the floor and entered a battle to bring the convention to Los Angeles in 1932. A vigorous protest was watered by brethern from other desirable buildings, but after much deliberation a motion was finally offered asking the Grand to suspend all rules which he did and smiling Gene's" prayer was granted bringing the convention to L. A. in '32. The convention is now over and we are now full ready to start on our journey home.
Leaving Detroit we crossed the Detroit river intl Winslow, Ontario Canada visited Ningara Falls and proceeded along the border of Canada and the U. S. sill we came to a point opposite Buffalo where we again entered the United States and was cordially received by all at time Los Angeles: Miss Anna Montgomery being one of them. Miss Montgomery conducts one of the most elaborate and gorgeously furnished cabana on the city with a seating capacity accommodating more than 300 people at one sitting and a business place unequal for its class and kind she deserves special mention and cofment. She spared no pains in seeing we were highly entertained and complained of our short stay, requesting that we hurry back. Leaving Buffalo, we motored to Cleveland where we were entertained by Cuyahoga Lodge members, headed by the P. E. R. a Mr. Shaw, from Cleveland we headed for Indianapolis where we were received by John T. Brewington, special deputy of Central Indiana. Thence to Terra Haute and St. Louis next where we were cordially entertained and received by Lang Harrison, recently elected constable in the Colorado belt, a politician of no small concern and generous good fellow.
From St. Louis to Kansas City, where Officer McDuff showed us to the home of his uncle, Dr. J. E. Perry. There we met Mrs. Perry who is a grand daughter of the late Frederick Douglass. The family consists of Dr. Perry, his wife and son, Dr. E. B. Perry, who recently finished his two years interne in the city hospitals of St. Louis formerly graduating, from Howard University after spending two years in Ann Arbor preparatory. He is taking over his father's practice, as his father contemplates retiring after thirty-five years as a practicing physician. Dr. Perry is sponsoring a movement to raise money to place a memorial tombstone on the hill of Brown, who was conceded to have been a martyr to the cause of freedom of the Negro Race. We wish to give a little publicity to this effort as the name of John Brown is slowly passing from our memory as one of those characters overcome by sentiment which had been created in our favor, sought to liberate those so sordidly oppressed. We were highly entertained in Kansas City and on the last night of our stay were honor guests at a 7 course banquet sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Dabney which was a wonderful surprise and an unexpected pleasure. Leaving Kansas City we spent a day in Albuquerque. New Mexico, then across that sunny stretch of that state and a corner of Arizona we came again over the Pacific Highland down to the bottom of the slope and on the night of September 10th we slept again in the land of sunshine and flowers fanned by the breezes from the cold ocean.

AMERICANS IN HAITI
(Continued From Last Issue)
That concludes the list of significant investors.
What are some of the difficulties?
First, establishing a title to the land. Haitians have simply lived on land, without paying it, without knowing to whom it belonged. When an investor seeks to purchase, he finds himself in a wilderness of claims from all sources.
Second, determining what the land is good for. Haiti has many varieties of climate and land. Nobody can tell you what any particular plot is good for. Maybe it will grow bananas, or pineapples, or coconuts, but nobody knows. There is no statistical data, covering the entire republic. You have to guess and try out the land you choose.
Third, making the land fit for cultivation. Most of the land is covered by a half jungle. Much money has to be spent in clearing this land up. Fourth, the existence of much land that is good for nothing.
Fifth, the lack of water and irrigation. Haiti has but one river. Its plains are largely arid. Irrigation is essential. Four million dollars is now needed to irrigate the Artibonite Plain. But where are you going to obtain four million dollars when the income of the Haitian government is only six millions a year. The peasant in Haiti has little with which to purchase with and makes out by growing his own food.
Seventh, the difficulties of export
an investor never is sure of what he
can find a foreign market for. Once
it might have been coffee, but Brazil
almost knocked the bottom out of the
Haitian coffee industry. Cuba and
Porto Rico take the play away from
Haiti with sugar cane, coconut, and
bananas. Although a fine grade of
cotton has been produced, nobody has
been able to find a market for it. And
even after you find a market, duties
of various sorts may make the venture
in profitable. Haiti uses an extraor-
ginal large amount of soap in
it imports. It cannot be unafford-
nished profitably in Haiti because of
the import duties on certain ingredients.
The Haitian Development Company
and the California Packing Company
seem to be on the road to success. But
they have made large outlays of
money. That is essential for an
investor in Haiti. The small investor
might as well stay away.
The rugged sides of Haiti's mountains may be made to shine again in the middle of the blue Atlantic and wealth may flow, but the process will require education, hard work, and much money.

County Auditor Logan Gives Annual Feast
COMPLIMENTARY TO HALL OF RECORDS, COURT HOUSE, AND HALL OF JUSTICE JANITOR FORCE
In keeping with his custom for many years, County Auditor, Chas. L. Logan on last Thursday had as his guests to a Watermelon feast the janitor force and elevator men of the County buildings, headed by Chief Jianor, E. L. Robinson. Also as honor guests he had Hon. Henry Wright, of the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Civil Service Commissioners, consisting of Hon. Geo. C. Madison, chm.; Hon. James K. Reed; Hon. Dr. R. Warren Mottern and Also. S. J. Chapelle, secretary; Also. Editor J. B. Bass of the California Eagle.
Preceding the feast with the full force of nigh unto 150 employees present, Mr. Logan was presented by L. G. Robinson and after very appropriate remarks, introduced each one of the honor guests who in turn made very appropriate remarks for the occasion.
The writer was especially impressed with the remarks of not only Mr. Logan, but with those made by Supervisor Wright, the board of Civil Service Commissioners and its secretary Mr. Chapelle. The spirit of justice and the square deal was manifest in all of its fullness and the call for efficiency was the theme and due credit was given head jaintor Robinson and his corps of workers.
With a few numbers furnished by John Hall and his improvised quartet filled out a very becoming program fitted for the occasion. The feast was then on and Mr. Logan gave away the cash prize which was drawn by one of the masds and everybody was happy indeed.
Holds Off Gang To
Capture Bad Youth
It was necessary for Jas, Brown, deputy sheriff and county jail guard to draw his pistol in order to hold off friends of Major Broyles, Jr., who attempted to prevent his arrest at a local dance hall a week ago. According to bystanders Broyles was using profane and indecent language, but his booking revealed that he was on parole for concealed weapons and assaulting officers, besides being wanted for suspicion of burglary, unanswered traffic charges and other law violations.

Of course it was the awful tragedy of the murder of Auditor Peirson that cast the gloomy shadow across the Chicago meetings, and the gruseness of that shadow has not yet been lifted. Frankly, I must admit that it is difficult to understand how it was that the first newspaper reports which broadcasted the news of the tragedy should have made reference to shortages in Convention funds, which, according to reports seem not to exist; and also how the newspaper men who first made the report should have connected the tragedy with the leaders of the denomination, and that before any investigations had been made. These newspaper reports filled the minds of the delegates to the Convention with suspicion and with mistrust of people who stand in the lead of matters. A factional spirit soon developed. This factional spirit is perhaps more pronounced today than it has ever been before, and there is much bitterness in this factionalism. It was this which gave rise to the fear of trouble which was so freely expressed before the sessions were opened.
When one first mingled with the Convention folks the all absorbing topic was that of the elections and especially the election of the President. There is no denying the fact that there was much opposition to the re-election of President Williams, and yet there was quick re-action to the suggestion that there should not be any changes whatsoever made in the personnel of the official staff of the Convention and its boards this present year. I do not have space for the discussion of events and reasons that contributed to this decision. There arose a little flurry when the time came to elect the president, but it soon blew over, and all parties graciously accepted the re-election of Dr. Williams.
The day after the election Dr. J. C. Austin, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, Chicago, secured the floor and made some statements among which was the announcement that he would be in the race for the presidency next year. He demonstrated the presence of a very large following.
No one can forecast what will be the outcome of elections in Atlanta, Georgia next year, should both factions see to it that large delegations go from the churches supporting rival candidates. For decisions do not depend on the number of churches and state conventions enrolled, but upon the number of individual enrollments from the various churches.
Dr. Williams has served as president since 1922. He has done many helpful things in the work of the Convention, and has furnished much of the inspiration for the expansion of the Convention's program. He is a

Rev. I. Moore Invites You To Worship At First A. M. E. Zion Church
To my many friends and well wishers of Los Angeles, beginning Sunday September 7th and concluding Sunday, October 12th; leaves only six Sundays more before the annual conference which will convene at Phoenix, Ariz., October 15th, 1930.
This will close another period of service in this pastorate. I think the First A. M. E. Zion Church and the people of Los Angeles should know how I feel, after a sojourn of five years in their midst. I have spent the major portion of my life in the ministry and all of my ministry has been
This will close and other period of service in this pasto rate. I think the First A. M. E. Zion Church and the people of Los Angeles should know how I feel, after a sojourn of five years in their midst. I have spent the major portion of my life in the ministry and all of my ministry has been spent in the pasto rate. I have had many pleasant experiences in the ministry: In fact I have had a very happy ministry, and the people of the First A. M. E. Zion church and of Los Angeles in general have made many pleasant contributions to my ministry.
I am grateful to Los Angeles for the opportunity it gave me to serve and to show myself a friend to man; through this medium I have made hundreds of friends.
May I invite all of my friends to spend some of the services before October the 15th with us. Let the next six weeks be filled with expressions of good will and friendly greetings, by worshipping at the First A. M. E. Zion Church with your friend.

CENTRAL AVENUE GOSPEL TENT
A wonderful service last Sunday night, gave to the great crowd at the Big Gospel Tent, 49th Place and Central Avenue, another evening of help both for the spiritual man and the critical mind that craves the best in music and in church services. The converted Jew, Mr. F. C. Gilbert of So. Lancaster, Mass., was the speaker and his message was a stirring one, full of faith and confidence in the Christ. Sunday night, Sept. 21st, at 8 P. M. Evangelist Rodgers who has been preaching at the Tent since July 31st, will present a Stereopticon Sermon, on Waymarks to the Holy Land", and it's just what its name implies for there are many signs and evidences for the Christian Pilgrim as he journeys to the better world, that give definite information as to the distance yet to be travelled.
If you thirst for a good out-door service, or for a sermon that is instructive, yet spiritual, be sure to attend the services at the BIG TENT not only on Sunday nights, but every night during the week at 8 P. M.
If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened
THE JUBILEE SESSION OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
By REV T. L. GRIFFITH
The fifteenth anniversary celebration of the National Baptist Convention has now passed into history. A far greater meeting was planned than was held; and yet in many respects a great and interesting meeting was had.
The Coliseum at Fifteenth and Wabash was selected as the place of meeting. There are many sections to this immense building. The Women's Auxiliary which usually holds its sessions apart from the general meeting was held this year in a section of this same building. The auditorium in which the main meetings were held seats twenty thousand people, so I was told. In fact, there was a general feeling that the hall was too large and that the acoustic facilities were inadequate. This immense meeting place was secured no doubt because it was the dream of the promoters of the meeting that there would be fifty thousand persons in attendance. I have heard the attendance estimated as between ten and thirteen thousand.

magnetic leader, has many friends who are loyal to him to the last degree, and is unhesitatingly loyal to his friends. He is a great organizer, and has a church which rallies to him enthusiastically, and is proud of its place as the
outstanding church of the Convention. There were many inspiring addresses and sermons delivered during the meetings. It is only fair to say that much of the power of these addresses was lost in the conditions existing in the building: large space, too large for easy carriage of the voice; poor microphone service in the auditorium; people meeting old friends and chatting in all part of the building; ushers selling wares; and even socializing on the platform during the delivery of an address. But through all of this, many of these messages carried their inspiration and their thrill. The Sunday morning services of both Sundays were among the most enjoyable of all. People came to those services in the attitude of worship. The first sermon a most masterly and appealing message was delivered by Dr. O. C. Maxwell of St. Louis, and the sermon of the next Sunday was delivered by the President, which was a most appealing sermon indeed.
The music of the Convention was very thrilling. The thousand-voiced chorus was led by Mr. George Garner. There were four or five grand pianos on the platform, and four or five assistant directors to Mr. Garner. Mr. Garner is a genius at chorus directing, and is a tenor singer of international experience.
The reports of the various Boards were listened to with great interest. It is too much to attempt to cover the gist of these reports in an article of this kind. Naturally there has been a great falling off in the receipts of the Boards and matters at the publishing house are in a critical condition. Leaders of the denomination are working and planning to meet the obligations which will fall due within a few weeks.
Dr. A. M. Townend, whose name has been so unfortunately mentioned in connection with the tragedy referred to, and who has indeed been indicted in connection with it, was not at the Convention. He issued a printed statement explaining his absence. There are thousands of adherents to the Convention who believe a mistake has been made in his arrest. However, nothing was said of the guilt or innocence of any one during the Convention, inasmuch as decision in such matters rests with the courts. I understand that the case is to come trial in Scottsburg, Indiana, some time during the month of October.
It had been hoped that this year of jubilee would bring to the Convention sufficient funds to pay off the debts of the Convention. Instead, it seems to be the fact that receipts this year were less than they were last year. This is accounted for by the publications as to the tragedy already referred to.
California was well represented at the meetings. If I make no mistake there was a larger delegation from California than there was from Kansas. There were at least fifty-seven present from this state. Two coaches went out, one led by Dr. W. H. Rozier and the other by Dr. W. D. Carter, both members of the Transportation Commission; still others went alone. The California group met in a number of friendly conferences while in Chicago. Dr. W. H. Rozier stands very high as the trusted friend and advisor to the officials of the Convention. The Pleasant Hill Baptist Church of which he is pastor had thirteen delegates, the largest delegation from any California church. In addition to enrolling this delegation the church sent a con-
TO SPEAK AT SECOND
BAPTIST CHURCH
JOHN H. HARRIS
Mr. S. P. Johnson who for a number of years has been the faithful Superintendent of the Second Baptist Sunday School has just returned from the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress held in the city of Chicago, August 14, 1930, and will submit a report of this great convention Sunday evening 8 o'clock sharp. Mr. Johnson will not only tell of the work of the convention; but will speak on the economic and general conditions of our people in Chicago, and other cities he visited. The public is invited. Dr. T. L. Griffith pastor of the church, who attended the National Convention will preach his initial sermon Sunday morning.
contribution to the work amounting to one thousand dollars, the largest contribution, as I understand from any of the churches. The church also sent him a personal donation of one hundred and thirty-four dollars for his personal use during his vacation.
Inasmuch as the two national-bodies met this year at different times many brethren connected with the unincorporated convention with us in Chicago. It was not my privilege to attend any of the sessions either of the Congress or of the Women's Convention. We met, however, many of the great leaders. I was saddened by one statement made by the representative of the governor, who delivered one of the addresses of welcome. The statement was that Negroes in Illinois furnish two and four-tenths per cent of the population; but they also furnish 25 per cent of the crime. If the Negro race keeps up that record in the states of the north to which we are migrating we are headed for the rocks.
The parade which had been widely advertised was held, but it was an automobile parade instead of a march. There was much disappointment expressed regarding this feature of the Convention. But there is this to say it was witnessed by approximately one hundred and twenty-five thousand Negroes.
A number of Californians appeared on the program. Not the least among these was Mr. S. P. Johnson, whose paper before the superintendents section of the Congress was voted to be published. Dr. W. D. Carter, Dr. E. W. Moore, Dr. W. H. Rozier, Revs. L. M. Curtis, A. T. Hines and Rev. Addison of Long Beach, and the writer were among those from California who appeared on the program. Apologies are offered to those omitted, for we do not have a copy of the program at hand as we write.
On the last day of the Convention, Dr. Williams suggested that, in the afternoon he would tender his resignation. A committee was appointed to wait on him of which Dr. H. D. Prowd and Dr. E. W. Moore, both of California, were members. This committee prevailed on Dr. Williams not to resign. But the result of the action of the committee was the mandate from the Convention for the removal from the 12 posts of three of our outstanding scholars.
I wish to say in closing that I have never seen on the faces of our leaders such signs of depression and anxiety as exists at this crisis in the life of the Convention. We shall doubtless pass the crisis safely, but the present condition is deplorable.
Personally I should like to have seen more of the religious appeal at the meeting, and a little less of the commercial. One little boy came up to me to induce me to buy something. He thought I was about to say that I did not have any money. He very pleasantly remarked that if a person did not have any money he had better remain at home. A very frank statement, but undoubtedly it is true when one goes to the Convention.

BISHOP WM. A. WASHINGTON,
PABTOR
1802 EAST ADAMS STREET
Sunday was a great day in the camp
as was expected, the Sunday after all
night Tarry-meeting (Saturday night
before each Second Sunday) is always
one of great joy and gladness. Bro C.
Corhee spoke for the W. Workers at
3 o'clock: Bishop J. A. Jeeter, was
with us for three nights in revival
services, from which we have been much-
blessed.
We invite you to worship with us,
and attend our prayer meetings every
evening 7-8 P. M. Are you lonely,
longing for that something that satisfies
the soul? Are you blessed or
dissressed in body or spirit? Come to
the house of prayer and feel the touch of
his hand.
The Union met promptly at 1 P. M with President E. W. Moore in the chair. Rev. Mr. Dyer conducted devotions. Report of Sermons was given by Revs. L. M. Curtis and N. H. Jones. Vistors Johnson, Page, Perry, and Bateman, were introduced and received the usual welcome. Rev. L. M. Curtis reported progress in the matter of the late Willie Teems, of Watts, who was shot by Police Officer Wyatt. The case goes to trial on the 19th instant.
Report by brethren who attended the National Baptist Convention at Chicago, was continued, as the Order of the Day. Revs. Curtis, Griffith and Pius were the informants, and each gave good account of himself; and also impressions of the Convention. Expressions of sympathy with the sufferers of Santa Domingo were led by Rey. R. H. Wade. The following named brethren were appointed a committee on Ways and Means of rendering substantial assistance to the distressed people: Wade, Carter, Griffith, Prowd and Pius.
Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, President of the Union leaves California, Brethren of the Union were sincerely moved with regret at the news given out by Rev. W. R. Carter, that Dr. Moore was, again, called to pastor the Secd. on Baptist Church of Columbus, Ohio and therefore must give up his pastorate and other positions here. It was also announced that a very high appointment by Governor Young was justly and unsought coming to Dr. Moore, which he also must decline in order to go back and again serve his old flock. Dr. Moore will be remembered especially, for his modesty, poise, and power to hold himself in check. He was drafted to address the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance this Monday, September 22nd, at Y. M. C. A. Dr. and Mrs. Moore are expected as the special guests of the ministers of the city at a dinner at the Y. M. C. A. after his address on Monday. Committee: Revs. Prowd, Plus, Burkhalter, Wade and Demsey.
Mt. Olive Missionary
Baptist Church
94TH AND ZAMORA STS.
Another great day at this Church. Bright and early the children of our Sunday School were out. Superintendent Bateman was on the job doing his duty. The Lesson of the day was driven home by the Minister.
At 11 o'clock, Dr. Prowd spoke on the text, "Jesus Only." It was a blessed season of refreshing from on high.
At 3:30 the Tribe of 'Asher' had charge, and the invited young preachers, to the number of 22, were on hand. The Church was fairly filled and all enjoyed the wonderful service. Everybody was happy, and extended the heartiest welcome to the young preachers, who did excellent service. The Choir was on hand and gave inspiration to those who spoke. A very acceptable offering was taken for the Tribe. Sister Flippen gratefully acknowledged assistance, given her Tribe of Benjamin under Sister Price is having its turn this week, and all the others are alive looking for the fullest measure of success on 'Rally Day', October 26. Work on Tribes, the Lord is with you all.
At night, Dr. Prwdw spoke on the First Psalm and all enjoyed the word. This Sunday at Mt. Olive is "Go to Church Sunday." Each member is to bring one or more persons. Come early, come praying for a blessing. At night Dr. Prowd will give news about the Convention at Chicago. You want to hear this. H. D. PROWD, Minister.

REV. A. P. SHAW TO ADDRESS MEN'S COUNCHS IN NORTHWEST
Rev. A. P. Shaw, pastor of Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church for the past thirteen and a half years has been selected as speaker in Men's Council under the auspices of the Methodist Brotherhood during the month of October in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. These Councils are conducted by Secretary Bert Smith of the Methodist Church with headquarters in Chicago. One is held in each Conference District as follows: Four in the Minnesota Conference; four in the Northern Minnesota and four in the Dakota Conference. There will probably be eight in the Conferences in Iowa.
These Councils are all in white Conferences and the honor of delivering the principal address in the Men's Mass Meeting at the evening service of these Councils which last only a day in each district is generally given to Methodist leaders of outstanding ability and reputation. Only two other Colored men have been thus honored, Dr. L. H. King of New Orleans, Editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate and Dr. C. A. Tindley of Philadelphia.
Pastor Shaw will leave Monday night for Chicago and the Northwest and will probably visit the sessions of some of our Colored Conferences before his return about the 10th of November.

Pastor and Deacon Battle—Court Intervenes
New York, Sept. 17.—(ANP)—Members of the Holy, Trinity Baptist church, Amityville, Long Island were sharply divided Monday following the issuance of an injunction which restrains two trustees and a deacon from barring the minister from the church. The Rev. W. Paul Alston has been with the church many years and built the structure now occupied by the members. Differences among the membership started several months ago over money matters. The fight reached a climax recently when the Rev. Mr. Alston was forcibly prevented from entering the church. Order was maintained by the state police. It has been announced that the injunction proceedings will be argued before Supreme Court Justice Charles J. Dodd in Amityville. Justice Dodd, who is a summer resident of Amityville, has called a meeting of members of the church for next week.
The Rev. David B. Chaney, pastor of the Babylon Baptist church, has been appointed arbiter by the justice. Ouster of the Rev. Mr. Alston is sought by James Lefftenant and Jos. Foster, trustees, and Deacon Joseph Poung. Matthew J. Kyles and the minister lead the opposition.

Don't forget the Five and Over Charity Club Dance, Municipal Auditorium, Santa Monica, Sept. 19th, Admission 50.
Neal Cisby who conducts the first of the improved miniature links installed on Central avenue, declares that growing interest in the sport and almost daily playing by many devotees is making it quite an item of expense to the average household. For this reason he is reducing prices for the 18 holes from 25c to 15c with the same conventions and the same excellent greens and skill trying hazards as before. The Central Garden Course located at 51st Central is in a class by itself in that it carries out the idea of a garden with fence lined walks, and general atmosphere. It also has the only air shot over a water hazard in the city.

presented Mayor Harry C. Clark, who
in glowing terms introduced the speak-
er of the evening, Hon. Frederick M.
Roberts of Los Angeles, Assembly:
man , representing the Sixty-second
District of California. With such clo-
quence and fluency did Mr. Roberts
speak that there was not one moment
throughout his address’ that lagged in
interest; of the two subjects upon
which he was asked to talk, he handled
each with so much familiarity that one
was unable to judge as to, which he
knew the better. Mayor Cla had ask-
ed that he speak -on, legislative) work,
with which his office-deals especially.
This he did with no hesitancy. In the
course of his remarks he said that if
the citizens who-elect their legislators
would be more interested in them
while they are puzzling over the en-
actment of- the ‘various laws, more
could be accomplished to- the’ satis
faction of thg many, Ms.Allen sug-
gested that he talk’ oni roce relations,
Xiong the line he spoke most intelli-
gently, Among the things he said was
that San Diego pioneered in California
in the race relation project; that a bet-
ter understanding between the races,
and nations would put to nought the
much talked of race, problem. Mr.
Roberts complimented Mr. Allen for
his efforts im this direction the results
of which are quite apparent. -From be-
ginning to end Mr. RORberts’, address
teemed with interest. Supervisor Hast-
ings was called upon,and very briefly
expressed his pleasure of being pre-
sent to hear the masterly address by
Assemblyman Roberts. He said that
he like the rest of the audience was
anxious to get down stairs to partake

waiting for them, Among the city and

The William Davis Case
A few weeks ago, air. Davis
“Mose,” as he is familiarilly known,
a gollector on one of the city’s rubbish
tracks became involved in misunder-
standing with the driver, ‘which re-
sulted in the man at the wheel getting
a dent in his side, he having been
struck with a piece of iron pipe in the
ands of Mr. Davis who said his act
vas in self defense |
| ‘As a natural consequence he was
discharged upon thé recommendation
‘of the civil service commission. Mr.
Davis feeling the injustice of this act,
appealed to the council. It was in the
council chamber that an exchange of
hot words took place ‘between mem-
ters of the council and commission.
Councilmen Dowell and McMullen
were strong in their defence of Mr.
Davis as they were unable- to> see
where in according to the commission's
statement, he was guilty of Tt charges,
a large number of our group: was pre-
sent at the hearing and that no doubt
had some beating on the matter. Their
going was through interest in a mem-
ber of the face rather than curiosity.
It has beem reported that Mr. Davis
is tobe reinstated. The result of the
final hearing could not be obtained
at this time. We are gradually realiz-
ing the’ fact that a concentrated ef-
fort will bring the things we desire if
we stan@ up for justice and right.

locally and_nationally. One’ was the
Industrial Council and the other the

MOVIE LAND! Vision Land! Land of paradoxes, contradictions, ideals, dissillusions, work, play, pain, pleasure, tender loves, bitter hatreds.
It is the land of false hopas; false standards, feverish ambitions, selfishness, pure motives; craven incentives, broadmindedness, narrowness, broken romances, double crossed friends and money lust.
And this same money lust and the money lure of the movies is what makes the evil side of screen life out weich the good.
Of all the tales that have already come out of Hollywood the half has never get been told. Our people are very much a part and part of the Hollywood life, if not as actors, as servants or business employees, bringing them in daily contact with the personalities of the Cinema.
BIG PRODUCTION LOOMS
The hundreds of extras who depend upon the call of "action." Camera! for their livelihood will be happy to know that a big season in production is being planned in that department of the various studios. Paramount, Universal, RKO, Fox, and all the big studios that grind out a dozen or more talks at the same time have large programs for the winter season and some of these plays will use hundreds of Negro extras. The smaller studios such as Tiffany, Harold Lloyd, Christies, Pathe, and others also have a busy season in view with more hopes for the John Gilbarts and Mary Carols in sepia.
NO MORE ALL CQLORED CASTS
It's a safe bet "an" you can lay to that mates" there will be no more all colored cast films made like Hearts in Dixie, Halleujah, and the Octavis Roy.Coben two reelers at Christies or the "Wildcat" two reelers at Pathe. And why, do you ask gentle. reader? Oh, that's a long story...
Part of the reason lies in the fact studios would have to lessen or submerge the work of their greatest white stars if colored atars headed the productions. Also the South which forms perhaps equally as large a field for the sale of the films was not ready for dark actors in the real sense of the word. For instance, Moran and Mack, white in "Anybody's War" with hundreds of Negro buddies, clicks better with the Southern theater goers than any two colored comedians heading the feature would do. Christies two reelers were liked but Paramount released them and Paramount did not want to hurt itself then making mixed cast pictures so all production on Cohens funny stories of Birmingham Negro life were stopped.
OH SO RITZY
Then too this decision was reached sooner because of the lot of trouble the studies had with most of the newly made stars and featured actors of the race. Step-in-fetch it probably bears the palm for, highest salary, disgraceful actions, temperament, blatant display of unacustomed prosperity, and actions in general that worried the studio officials and discredited the race and brought out "I told you so's" from detractors of the Negro. Bloated salaries were more than most of them could stand and they grew ritzy, so oh ritzy even with their employers. In modern film production it is a case of "hit the ball" or get out. They do not stand for disobedience or temperament from even whites any more. WHAT'S DOING
M. G. M., "Trader Horn" ought to be good. A year on location in Africa; another year on the lot here, at olosal expense. It is now about finished. Jas Davis, the colored, dare-devil had a good part, or bit, as did also Everett McGarrity, Mrs. Allen and others.
THE SOUTHERNERS with King Vido Hallenlugh director at the magphone will start soon. The picture is a tale of the Old South and will use many Negroes.
PARAMOUNT is concluding the Tom Sawyer story with Oscar Smith in a good part.
TIFFANY was so well pleased with "His Last Race" in which Onest Conley is practically co-starred with Wesley Barry and Mildred Washington and Harry Levette in that they are talking of making a similar one.
WARNER BROS. selected Lawrence Lamar. Martin Turner, Floyd Shackelford, Hayes Robinson, Spencer Bell and Raymond Turner, well-known actors for the German version of their current film, "Sin Flood"
UNIVERSAL STUDIQ interviewed a number of face actors for their forthcoming film entitled, "Mississippi. Among them were the famous angelist, John Lester Johnson, and the Shuffle dancer, "Tlajuana" Jones.
CENTRAL CASTING Corporation could not spare Mr. Chas. Butler, guide, director, and casting director of colored talent long enough to get a needed vacation this summer. "Everybody around the office got a lay-off but me. There's no use to 'vacation' when there's work to be done. Am I right or wrong" declares the highly valued Chas.

Fla. College Prepares for Record Breaking Enrollment
Fla. College Prepares for Record Breaking Enrollment
(By A. N. P.)
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 17.—The return of President and Mrs. J. R. Lee on Wednesday, September 10th from their Western States trip brought to a close the final preparations for the opening of the 1930-31 school-session.
Plans for the reception of the Freshman class advised to present themselves a few days earlier than the old students have been completed.
Their arrival Friday will unofficially open the school with an introductory entertainment, a survey of the entire campus and advancement martriculation and admission proceeding will occupy their time up to the regular registration dates.
The reports of the Student-Information Tours brings assurance that another record year will be enjoyed by the college. The reports to President Lee conservatively estimate that the enrollment this year will top the 600 mark. New equipment, the paving of roads and other improvements makes the physical appointments of the college one of the beauty spots of the South.
With forty-two years of growth and progress behind it the Florida A. & M. College strides into its forty-third year confident that the faculty, student body, alumni and interested friends will be the participants in new triumphs and laurels as well as in the commemoration and recognition that comes with the fulfillment of the trust that has been imposed upon this institution.
Amended Bond Program Fully Endorsed
Following the action of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, in unanimously adopting a resolution requesting the City Council to place a $13,300,000 power bond issue on the November 4 ballot, E. F. Scattergood, chief electrical engineer and general manager of the Bureau of Power and Light, made the following statement: "Provision for financing certain of the items heretofore included in the previously proposed $19,000,000 power bond issue are to be temporarily deferred. The principal items to be eliminated from the power bond issue as originally outlined, are those providing for the construction of a transmission line from Owens Valley and of the power plants on Big Pine Creek which it was the intention of the department to build at this time."
The action of the Water and Power Commission was staken after a conference with Mayor John C. Porter, the City Council Water and Power Committee and the Board of Water and Power Commissioners.
The recommendation that the items above mentioned be deferred was made by Chief Engineer and General Manager Scattergood, which the Board unanimously adopted.
The power construction program as adopted by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, provides for the expenditure over the three year period endang 1933, of $25,500,000. Of this sum $12,200,000 will be provided from the surplus revenues of the Bureau of Power and Light, the remaining $13,300,000 being provided from the bonds to be voted on November 4.
The extensions and betterments provided for will consist primarily of the completion of Power Plant No. 2, in San Franciscoquite Canyon and minor betterments to other existing power plants; additions to the capacity of existing central receiving stations and the addition of one central receiving station on the west side and necessary high tension connection lines; additions and betterments to the general distributing system in the city including local distributing stations and local overhead and underground lines and services; $2,000,000 for the purchase of rights of way for transmission from the Boulder Canyon project to Los Angeles, which it is necessary to begin to purchase in order to pave the way for the construction of a fine later on.
Dr. John R. Haynes last Wednesday officially took the oath of office as President of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners for the ensuing year. Dr. Haynes had been e-elected President of the Board on July 26th Tuesday, the Board unanimously re-affirmed its July election of Dr. Haynes when it was pointed out that Dr. Haynes, whose term on the Board expired on July 1 of this year, had on July 26 not yet been appointed to the Water and Power Commission by Mayor Porter.

LIBRARY HAS RECORD YEAR
No lack of business but rather a record increase of business is shown in the figures being compiled for the 42nd annual report of the board of library commissioners, according to the City Librarian, Everett R. Perry. One million, two hundred thousand more books were borrowed from the library this year than last year, according to library records, making a record circulation for the Los Angeles Public Library of 9,682,305 volumes. On the busiest day of the year at the Central Library, May 31, 1920, the girl at the receiving desk cared for 10,400 books returned, and the reading rooms loaned 10,000 more books. Nine books per minute is the average number cared for by the receiving department of the Central Library. Yet branch libraries circulate 76 per cent or 7,500,000 of the total circulation.
Library cards are now held by 319,000 Angelenos or about 25 per cent of our population. This fourth of our residents average 30 books per year borrowed from their library but there are enough books according to library statistics for the other three-fourths of the population to read their quota, too. For the librarian tells us that there are now 1,100,000 books in the central and branch libraries, and that 49 branches spread over the city territory are offering books and library service.
The family of branches was increased this year by three new branches in parks, Felipe de Nieve Branch in Lalayette Park, Sidney Lanier Branch in North Hollywood Park, Memorial Branch in Memorial Park, opposite Los Angeles High School; by two buildings replacing rented quarters, Venice Branch and John Muir Branch, and by an addition to the little library at Palms.
Some of the "business" within the library that is necessary to maintain a smoothly running organization of the size of the library system is revealed in the following figures.
172,888 books were added to the library collection. This means that an average of 660 volumes were handled daily by the order department and that nearly 600 books daily were delivered by the library truck to branches, some of which are as tar distant as San Pedro, Van Nuys and Venice.
135,250 new book titles were classified, cataloged and properly marked by the Catalogue Department. This necessitated the making and accurate filing of 500,000 new catalogue cards.
213,026 pieces of mail were received, sorted and delivered to central library departments and branches, including 143 daily newspapers.
The wear and tine of nine million circulation of books means that 66,000 books had to be rebound—prepared for the bindery, shipped, received, sorted and delivered to the department where they belong.
The family of 49 branches invites you to visit your nearest library and make use of its book collections and reading rooms.
Your neighborhood branches are Heizen Hunt Jackson branch, 2330 Naomi street, and the Vernon Branch, 4505 Central avenue.
Says "Black Shirts" Are Friends of the Negro
Says "Black Shirts" Are Friends of the Negro
(Bv A. N. P.)
Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 16—The members of the American Facists, better known in these parts as the "black shirts" are not enemies of the Negro, as the Negroes and a good many white folks down this way thought, but are the best friends that the Negro in the South has ever had. This fact was made known in a statement issued from the headquarters of the organization here Saturday afternoon and, therefore, is official.
The statement, promoted by the many deunciations of the order and its methods, on the part of civic organizations throughout the state and the Grand Jury appointed to investigate the organization before a charter is granted the body, declared that the impression that the "Black Shirts" were, unfriendly to the Negro was erroneous and instead the body was very friendly toward the Negro but wanted to see "him in his place."
If the operations of the order, "in behalf of the Negro," indicate "his place" that place is out of a job and at the starvation point. For weeks since the organization was formed efforts have been made to force white people to give employment to white people instead of Negroes and many employers have declared that they have been threatened by members of the organization if they refused to replace their Negro labor with whites. Negroes in this section, however, do not want this kind of friendship. They prefer a hostile feeling if antagonism will enable them to hold their jobs and to secure additional employment.
The investigation of the order is being watched keenly and with much interest. In various sections of the state, city officials have issued orders restraining the "Black Shirts" from holding meetings and from operating until the state decides whether or not the organization is needed in this section. The organization boasts of 25,000 members, many of whom are numbered among the unemployed who are seeking jobs held by Negroes, according to reports circulating here.

LON CHANEY MAKES TALKING FILM DEBUT
Star Reveals Amazing Voice Control in "The Unholy Three," Talking Adaptation of Former Silent Hit
LOVE GRANTY
Having waited until a period of extensive experimenting had proved that he could do as strange and unusual things with the microphone as he has done in the past with the make-up box, Lon Chaney will make his all talking picture debut Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Tivoli Theatre in the "Unholy Three," talking version of his silent success of some years ago, directed by Jack Conway and with a supporting cast which includes Lila Lee, Elliott Nugene, Harry Earles, John Mijlan, Ivan Linow, Clarence Burton and Crauford Kent.
Information is that Chaney purposely asked Metri-Goldwyn-Mayer to give him the curious Clarence Aaron Robbins story as his first dialogue vehicle because of the fact that it permitted him to enter the talkie field with a smash; enabling him not only to talk, but to do so in five different voices, something entirely new to the screen and typical of Chaney's imitable ability to mystify movie audiences. Whereas in the past, people have been hard put to tell which of the many "faces" Chaney used on the screen came nearest to his actual physiognomy, they will now be equally battled in determining which of the five voices he uses in "The Unholy Three" approaches his normal voice. Two Physical Disguises
In presenting this unusual aspect of voice manipulation, however, the star by no means deserts his flair for disguises, appearing in "The Unholy Three" first as a ventriloquist and subsequently as an old woman. As a final indication of the comprehensive
INFORMATION FOR THE AUTOIST
U. S. 50 from Price, Utah to Grand Junction, Colorado, will be found rather slow traveling at this time, advises the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club! Price Canyon is closed out account of construction, and travel is detoured via U. S. 33 to Emma Park. Three bridges are washed out between Cisco and the Colorado state line necessitating short detours.
Trout fishing continues to be good in the High Sierra District, advises the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. Reports received from Sabrina, Twin Lakes, June, Silver and Mammoth Lakes districts are to the effect that limit catches are still being taken by fishermen in these localities. The temperature is quite cool and sportsmen are advised to bring plenty of bedding and good tents.
The motorist's attention is drawn to the fact that schools are now opening, and the utmost care during the opening days will be necessary, advises the Legal Department of the National Automobile Club. Particular attention should be given to school busses, as under the 1929 Vehicle Law heavy penalties are exacted for failure of the motorist to stop before passing such a buss when unloading of loading children.
Oak Creek Canyon, one of Arizona's most colorful Playgrounds, offers the motorist a succession of delights combining vivid natural scenery and timbered mountain sides, advises the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club, Resembling a miniature Grand Canyon in its colored rock formations, the Oak Creek area is traversed by U. S. 79 between Flagstaff and Jerome. While the highway is unsurfaced it is graded and drained and offers no difficulties to the average motorist. Inumerable camping places and several resorts are available in the Canyon, making it a delightful vacation spot.
With the opening of Deer Season on September 16th in San Bernardino County, the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club advises that an outfitting camp where horses and guides may be obtained, is located a short distance from Whitewater, Palm Springs Junction. The camp is 130 miles distant from Los Angeles and motorists are advised to make
manner in which Chaney is entering upon his talkie career comes the report that he will also sing, the 'feat occurring in the ventrilouquist sequences in which he makes the dummy swable, "Sweet Rosie O'Grady." The story of the Unholy Three" concerns the nefarious activities of three circus side-show performers, ventrilouquist, giant and midget who finding that pickpocketing does not bring them sufficient gain, hit upon an ingenious method of robbing homes which involves the ventrilouquist's impersonating himself as the womanowner of a pet shop. According to Sol Clark, studio purchasing agent, advance worries anent getting a sufficient variety of animals for the pet-shop scenes proved fruitless, a search of bird and pet stores in Southern California disclosing that this state contains the most diversified stock of animals in the country.
"Possibly it's because of the hundreds of Easterners living here almost all of whom want unique pets," explained Clark, "but the fact remains that one can find birds and animals here which have never been heard of. For instance, we found a 'Goodi Rat' which is a spotted rat the size of a dog which came from Africa; monkeys, ranging from a huge orange-outang to the timest South American tree monkeys; parrots no bigger than sparrows; parakeets; cockatoos; a tame pig; a trained lamb; hundreds of varieties of cats and a leopard cub—all in the regular stock of a single pet shop."
inquiries for these facilities at the Snow Creek Garage, Whitewater.
The highway between Bakesfield and Democrat Hot Springs is being prepared for paving, advises the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. There will be no detour, however, travel is being routed through one-half of the road.
During the month of August more than 80 Operator's Licenses were canceled, revoked or suspended, according to the Legal Department of the National. Automobile Club. A large majority of these operators were convicted of reckless driving or driving while intoxicated. Southern California police courts have increased the use of this method of punishment of serious cases. The payment of a fine is soon forgotten, however a prohibition against driving for a specific time remains until that time is served.
U. S. Highway, No. 66, between Santa Rosa, New Mexico and the Texas State line is somewhat rough due to construction at this time. Widening operations are underway in the vicinity of Tuccnancari where motorists are cautioned to drive carefully due to loose shoulders, reports the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. An optional route for castbound travel is via U. S. 70 from Los Angeles Lunas to Clovis, New Mexico. Doves are plentiful in the district around Palmdale and Lancaster, advises the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club, also in the foothills back of Fontana. Sportsmen are cautioned that there are some closed areas and that inquiries should be made concerning the section they plan to hunt in before making the trip.
EX-SLAVES ARE ORGANIZING
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 16—Ctrenuous efforts are being made by Simon Phillips, president of the Alabama Ex-Slave Association, to find and enroll all of those who served in bondage before the Civil War. The Association, headed by Phillips held a convention here recently and at this meeting it was disclosed that there were several members of the organization who had passed the century mark in age and that there were more ex-slaves living than ex-slave holders. An itinerary, covering the counties of Walker, Pickens, Lamar and Fayette has been mapped out and after those living in Alabama have been organized the movement is supposed to be extended throughout the country.

THE PEOPLES' PAPER
Ever and anon, the report goes out, so and so is alright, but he is hooked up with so and so and his program. Likewise do they say the same about a newspaper. We have no doubt the same remark is directed about this publication. Perish the thought, however, of any such reference to the Soaring Eagle, for if there ever was a newspaper dedicated to and for the people it is this one. We are therefore responsible to the people and it is for the people we labor and serve. Truly our status at this time has been accomplished by the loyalty of the people. No movement for the uplift and advancement has ever lacked the support of the Soaring Eagle. Way back yonder when it took grit, courage and determination to withstand the onslaughts of untoward forces we stood the gaff and forced the issue. We have in sunshine and shadow and even in the vestibule of the jail house, stood by our colors all for the people who have never wavered in their support for this institution.
We could only accomplish and make the progress we have, because of the fact we have always been unfettered and with obligations to no single source but the plain, common, everyday, average people. We have accepted no gifts and refuse to let anybody give us anything. All we seek is an opportunity to serve, to work and receive therefore, at least a living wage. In return we have asked for the same situation for all the people whom we serve. This paper is for all the people, no single individual of any group has any strings upon us. Do good unto all is our motto, and as a consequence everybody is alright with us.
To crooks and shysters, we give no cover, and there is no compromise. We are "agin 'em" and that's all. All others will ever have a champion and advocate for justice equal opportunities and the square deal.
APPRECIATION
We congratulate the members of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order Elks of the World upon their very excellent service in procuring the 1932 National Convention to meet in this city. It marks a new era in fraternal circles and the local Elks of this city are entitled to much praise for their enterprise and interest for the whole city in bringing this, the greatest of all fraternals, to the Coast.
HOLDING FAST
We are much pleased to note the tenacity with which the group is holding on, in the battle for economic freedom. From all indications the virus has taken hold and there is nothing which will halt these mighty crusaders in their onward march.
In this situation as exemplified by the forces which form the Industrial Council, we have a most splendid insight in the genuine sincerity of the worthwhile members of the group.
To be free "one must strike the first blow," and that blow has fallen and the battle will be a triumph for the economic betterment of all peoples. There is no halting because of the petty jealousies of those who neither sow nor reap and in this trend of mind no people can fail.
The battle cry is progress, the thought is—God helps those who help themselves and truly we are on our way. "Don't spend your money where you can't work."
You cannot throw us off the track for economic progress for truly we are on our way.
ON THE JOB
If somebody will tell you or even write you that the editor of this paper was present at any conference which had for its object, recognition in service for any member of the group, just put that down as true, for that very thing is a part of our mission and we are eternally on the job.
SMOKE SCREEN
We charge nobody with any thing, but we do know the Smoke Screen is too often brought into play upon vital questions affecting the real and genuine interest of the people. Just so with this Walkup flare which has been so publicized in the past week, and now seems to have evaporated into thin smoke. We do not for one moment believe the unnamed colored man of whom the metropolitan papers speak, knows anything more about the Walkup business than the man in the moon. If this be true then surely the old Smoke Screen is working overtime to throw the people off the track of the real issue which to our way of thinking has to do with whether or not the old days of the program are to be revived. One may say—well, we might say the certain colored man has said—there will be no program, others say there will, and this is the real issue and the cause apparently for all of this hubbub
The first suggestions of autumn are not so much seen as felt. They are vague and indistinct, yet real. The fading of summer into fall resembles the subtle changes that overtake one at middle life, that it is slight, gentle and unobtrusive. There is a little lessening of vision, and the eyes are weary after extended reading. So comes the resort to spectacles, not of course that they are really needed, but as "an aid to reading, a preventive only." There is a slight slowing up of physical activities, a resolution not to overdo; a feeling that one has earned the right to slacken the pace and relax a little oftener. Yet there is still zest in living, and charm and color and melody continue to allure. Thus slowly, almost imperceptibly, but surely, comes the knowledge that one has reached high noon, and the shadows must of necessity lengthen toward the East.
It is in the month of September that summer fades into autumn. The tokens at first are not numerous, but they are there. Something in the air is alien to August, a certain crispness that is noticed. There is a slight haze on the horizon. The greenness of the earth and trees is subdued, and there are faint tints of brown appearing here and there. There is a shimmering and a shriveling in the corn fields, and the process of ripening is quickened daily. A few of the birds have already answered the call of the Southland, but many linger to gladden the eyes of the wayfarer and cheer his heart. Winter still seems a long way off, and it is good to know that between September days and flurry of snow and ice are the flaming splendors of October.
September is a month that has much to offer to those who are in love with life under the open sky. The days are cool, but not too cool for comfort. The rays of the sun are genial, but not unpleasantly warm. The early mornings are bracing, and the early

evenings have in them a quality of dreamy ardor. The leaves are falling, but not in profusion. Summer fades slowly, almost as imperceptibly as the charm of a beautiful woman in her early forties whose eyes are still eloquent, and with healthful fervor undiminished. Such is September, standing midway between the purple maturity of mid-summer, and the old gold and crimson of the crowning days of autumn.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL
Today the Sunday School contends with competition undreamed of in olden times. Indifference to church and religion, the so-called waning power of parental authority, the automobile and Sunday trip, popularization of the vacation, the hot weather exodus from city and town, and the gradual breakdown of old traditions of Sunday observance.
Inroads upon attendance from these causes are most marked during the period of hot weather, the best evidence of which is the high tide of attendance which annually begins to flow about this time of year, not to recede again until the return of summer. Roll calls in the Sunday Schools on these October Sundays show that the period of desultory attendance is at an end. Teachers and students are pouring back into the Sunday School classes eager for the opportunity to teach and learn.
These seasonal fluctuations in attendance and interest cause ministerial and lay workers to inquire whether the fault all lies with factors outside the Sunday Schools. Some are asking if the schools are doing all within their power to counteract these destructive elements.
Is the Sunday School keeping pace with human progress? Is it working with modern equipment? Has it developed as rapidly and intelligently as the public schools? These are some of the questions being answered, and which must be answered before summer attendance again approximates that of the period from late fall to early spring.
These men and women upon whom rests the responsibility of imparting to Americans both young and old a knowledge of religious teachings and literature will solve this modern problem though the task before them may not be less formidable than that approached by those who laid the foundation stones for this vast system of Sunday School.
THE WIENER ROAST
That strange flickering light that you see on the beach is no signal for the gathering of weird goblins. The young folks are gathering for a wiener roast, that is all.
Approach, you members of the older generation, but don't make too much noise, or you may break the charm. The high gay laughter of boys and girls in their teens—could anything be lovelier, these Indian Summer nights?
There is a great deal of laughter, some shyness, and an immense consumption of sausages and hot coffee. The boys of this day know how to make a fire, too. They are graduate Boy Scouts, most of them, and not ashamed to exhibit their craft before a feminine audience.
One of the best things about a wiener roast is that the fire doesn't give much light. So after appetites have been appeased, the youngsters sit about, and stroll about in the semi-darkness, and into their healthy, happy minds and souls come the same thoughts and impulses that have moved young folk in all the centuries.
It is a perfect picture—the drifting smoke, the wavering fire, the couples quietly pairing off, the occasional peal of laughter, the crescent harvest moon overhead. Well, well. Boys and girls! The same old story!
STUDENT EXPRESSIONS
MISTAKE
Mistakes play havoc in every human endeavor.
The mistakes of each person are many. The one who has never erred, ten to one, has never accomplished much. Were there such an existence as a mistakeless life the even tenor of it, the perpetual tranquility of such perfection, would annoy by its very monotony. It is human to err. But it is super-human to survive one's faults! Men are known by the mistakes they make. The mistakes of a wise man are not lacking in judgment. But fools err because they know no better. Big men make big mistakes—the sea has storms which a meadow creek can never know! Mistakes are a criterion of what NOT to do. Is not much, if not most, of this thing conscience merely the memory of past mistakes? Mistakes are guide posts that keep the pilgrim in the right path. Mistakes are a sculptor's mallet that pounds us into shape. Mistakes are the implements which the Great Jeweler uses in polishing His jewels. Mistakes are valuable teachers in the school of life. Viewing them from a "close-up" and observing in terms of the limited present, it would seem that MISTAKES ruin as well as resurrect. That they cause character to be impeached, health shattered, and reputation debased; and so, because of error homes have been wrecked, careers destroyed, and ambition dissipated to the winds.
But to some there are no mistakes. What appear as errors will ultimately be discovered as progressive parts in a preordained pattern. To such, each earthly career moves in a spiral, and mistakes are only the curved places that appear constantly in the life's pathway that ever winds UPWARD and ONWARD.
There are no mistakes to those who believe in Destiny!

N. A. A. C. P. ATTORNEYS DRAFTING NEW FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCH LAW
COLORED VOTERS URGED TO QUERY CANDIDATES FOR SENATE AND CONGRESS ON ISSUE
New York, Sept. 12.—Eighteen lynchings thus far in the current year as compared with twelve for the entire year 1929, have brought about a determination in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to campaign anew for the enactment of a federal anti-lynchings bill of the N. A. A. C. P. under the leadership of Arturo B. Spingarn, chairman of the National Legal Committee, and Herbert K. Stockton who has exhaustively studied the measure, are already at work going over the bills introduced in past sessions of Congress with a view to drafting a measure with teeth in it.
Besides the eighteen lynchings officially listed as such by the N. A. A. C. P. three are reports of five others, the details as yet unverified and the N. A. A. C. P. is making every effort to obtain proof that they occurred. If details can be obtained, these additional reported but as yet unverified lynchings will be added to the year's total. In announcing the decision to campaign for a new federal anti-lynchings law Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. made the following statement:
"The answers we ever got to the enactment of a federal anti-lynchings law was in 1922 before the House.

California's 6th birthday was not very exciting here in the mountains, as most every native son and daughter had migrated to the "Big City" to help swell the throng which congregated there for the great event. According to the press accounts, brought to us by Bob Jones, between 50 and 60 thousand gathered in San Francisco to celebrate. According to the contrasts of the displays California is one of the rare exceptions where youth comes with the growth of years. It appears like agotism to strangers when a Californian claims that his State is the peer of any in the Union, but when that stranger comes and sees, he readily acknowledges the justness for the enthusiasm. So there is a reason why the native born, whether 1 or 10 years' residence, squares shoulders and grows enthusiastic when celebrating year after year the progress of development. One cannot help cheering when the hand swings by to the air of "I Love You California."
According to press reports—"To hell with the Constitution!" Please, of South Carolina, will be given a chance to specialize his Negrophobia in private. His demagogy are a little too violent for the most rabid of his constituency. His successor in the United States Senate may not conform to all of the ethics but let it be hoped that his diatribes will have at least the space of good breeding. The main election seems to have cost a feeling of optimism in the ranks of both major parties. The Democrats see in the great disparity of the "88" and "30" elections a repudiation of the Republican administration. The Republicans, claiming an off year, say otherwise, November will tell the date. The fanatic Prohibitionists are blinding themselves to the revolution of public opinion regarding the "Dry Law." Their political threats of reprisals are alienating many who have moderate views, yet lean toward a thorough trial of enforcement.
We have been seeking to analyze the psychology or the mental trend of mind which makes for State sectionalism. This applies specially to the advocates of such measures in the section of California South of the Tehatchipi mountains. Whenever anything of a political nature is broached, such sectional propaganda comes to the front. A studious survey fail to find such sentiment in other parts of the State, therefore the conclusion is, that it is due to the personnel of the inhabitants. There can be found nowhere, a more loyal people, prideful of the State's progress and the development of the State's natural resources than in the northern tier of counties. California, to them, reaches from its boundary of Oregon on the North to Mexico on the South. From the Pacific Ocean on the West to its Eastern boundary. When they elect an executive they do not expect him to favor the county of his residence to the detriment of other counties. He must be an executive for all. Governor Young has proven an example as such. No one section of the State has suffered to the favor of the other. Where former governors had, for reasons of politics, created such feeling, he has steadily refused to be other than a Governor for the entire State. Yet, that section of the State to which he had paid favorable attention, because of the neglect of former officials, raised the cry of "sectionalism" to further the cause of their candidate. Such propaganda was given thorough chastisement by the voters. Let us remember that we are ALL citizens of the greatest Star in the constellation of States—CALIFORNIA.
Wherever you go throughout California, big city or little hamlet, you will find some evidence of the State's interest in education of the youth. The little "Red School House," is but a memory. Schools of modern design and equipment are the rule. And rightly so, because the school of today is a constructive force in modern society. It is the molding process of our future citizens. The stability of this form of government rests on the sanity of the teaching. Speak as we will about the freedom of thought and of speech there are lines which should demark. We do not believe that the battle of the American Negro for his constitutional rights can be advanced by the theories of Communism or the visionary ideals of radicalism. There must be a sane education to the end that what the constitution of the government designates as citizen rights, is law and that to be a citizen one must have a regard for constituted authority and respect the Law. It may take some time to lay such foundation, but once laid its stability stands unquestioned. There are so many things more important to the American Negro than political appointments, that it is obvious that neglect of them has had a retarding influence. Just, a little less attention to the Church and partisan politics and a little more to the essentials of the requisites of useful citizenship will work wonders toward the "Onward March."
Chas. C. Flint Pays Living Tribute to Eagle
Representatives passed the Dyer bill by a vote of 230 to 119, and a filibuster of southern senators from lynching states forced withdrawal of the measure.
"The threat of that bill did bring about a sharp reduction in the number of mob-murders. And the N. A. A. C. P, hoping that an aroused public opinion would become effective, in stamping out this American disease, held in obeyance its demand for federal action.
The Negro Newspaper of today must meet the requirements and popular demands of present day Journalism. They must of necessity give the reading public the news which is of special interest to colored people generally. Such news rarely ever finds its way into the white press because of the fact that most white writers must cater to the sentiment, custom and literary tastes of White America Whenever they find it necessary to speak of colored people, it is usually with a sneer, ridicule, or in a jesting manner. Since racial news of the public press is written by white people, for white people, and in the interest of white people, they have little regard or respect for Negro readers, notwithstanding the that intelligent and cultured Negroes subscribe and pay for and read the news of the public press daily. Yet when we need the valuable service of the public press, we must look to the Negro papers for that service.
"But now the mobbists are again rampant. This year's record of shame will bulk large in the annals of lawlessness in this country. The states are powerless and indifferent. Probably not one of the publicly known mob murderers will be seriously prosecuted or punished.
"We shall have a bill introduced introduced in the next session of Congress. Probably that session will not convene until after the election, in November. So it behooves colored voters throughout the country to put this issue of lynching squared up to all candidates for election to House or Senate. Get a clear and unequivocal statement from candidates how they will vote on federal action; to end lynching law. Here is another field colored voters throughout the nation can get a unit. If they do act as a unit, they can obtain what they and all decent citizens desire; the end of murderous anarchy doing to death without trial, any Negro whom a mob happens to select for horrible death."

PROMINENT LOS ANCELES
WOMAN RESUMES DUTIES
IN LOUISIANA
(Mrs. Lauretta D. Pruitt)
Mrs. Lauretta D. Pruitt who has been spending the summer here visiting her children and many friends left Monday, Sept. 8th for Louisiana to resume her duties as matron of Leland College.
Mrs. Pruitt is a remarkable woman, prominent in religious and social circles and all that contributes to uplift, and there are many interesting features concerning her life and activities. She came to California first in 1919 from Louisiana where she had taught in the schools, being the first and only woman principal of the colored High School which position she accepted at the death of her husband he having served in that city, the citizen the only Negro newspaper in North Louisiana and was president of the Louisiana Oman's Association. After being to Los Angeles, she retired from active work for about seven years, but being of that type of noble womanhood that is not satisfied unless rendering the highest service of which it is capable, she resumed work along teh lines so much beloved by her.
For the past three years she has been matron of Leland College, located in Baker, La., not far from Baton Rouge, this school being her alma mater from which she received her A. B degree. M. Puitt is the mother of a very fine and illustrious family of six children, all of womens residence here except one son who is in Chicago. The oldest son, Dr. E. M. Puitt is a graduate of U. S. C. and is one of Los Angeles' leading dentists; eldest daughter, Mrs. Ursula Adams, also a graduate of U. S. C. college of pharmacy who with her husband own and operate the Adams Drug Store at 12th and Central. married are Mrs. Adams daughters, both married are Mrs. Paul Adams and Mrs. Marcia Baumann, respectively. The youngest son, L'Overture accompanied his mother to Louisiana.

field of labor, of which deserved great praise as far as they went, some fly-by-night, here today, gone tomorrow, others were eleventh-hour intruders inasmuch as they really retarded rather than advanced the cause for which they labored. But the California Eagle, under Mrs. Bass's management has borne the burden in the heat of the day. She has stood guard over the interest of her race. Through storm and stress and in the market of race troubles she has never been them. In all the long and weary hours or night she is the first to be found in the front rank fighting the battles of her race. Like Horatius at the bridge, or the World's War Veterans in the famous battle of the Mons in the din of battle, you can always hear her battle cry to the enemies and despoilers of her race. "They shall not pass."
It is useless to attempt to enumerate her many triumphs for her race, for they are too numerous and too well known by all. Politically speaking, the California Eagle under the management of Mrs. Bass has always hewed straight to the line in all matters of race progress and development. She has not said one thing and done another, as others have done. She has always endeavored to be truthful in words and honest in deeds. As a defender of her race she has few equals and no superiors, either men or women in any race. She is the possessor of many beautiful and womanly charms that others might well envy. She is the possessor of a rare and singular genius that is rarely ever found in one and the same person, that of being equally capable and expert, in the Editorial Chair or on the rostrum as a public speaker. In either capacity she is invincible as a defender of her race.
If all those she has rendered valuable service to, when all other agents had failed them, and all those whom she helped to lessen their burdens when they were tired and weary and ready to lay their burden down in despair, would pay her for services not the principal but interest only, she would be as rich as Crosseus. Give her the best and public favor which she richly deserves for having done her work well. All men will call her blessed.

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY the Race deeply felt the loss of the well-terweight championship by Young Jack Thompson. After all it means a lot even to those not interested in boxing to have one representative of the Race outstanding and superior in anything, be it business or sports.
AND AS SPORTS now occupy a greater place in modern minds than ever before nothing helps to bridge the gap between the races and create greater respect and consideration for us as a people than the fair, clean cut ascendancy to the top ranks in the strenuous sports by one of our black boys. Still no need to cry over spilt milk. Let's just raise up another champion or help Young Jack regain his title.
AGAIN THE HX-GHAMP'S mother comes into the picture though trying to keep out of it. Anxious to be at her adored boy's side as he battled in defense of the valued crown she took the long treak East to Cleveland to watch over his final preparations and assist in the business adjustments following the big match. Pride in him made her feel the loss greatly but with her true, kindly philosophy she accepted it as a matter of course, even though many reports say he deserved no worse than a draw. Titles come and go
AS BERT WILLIAMS would say "In the name of Nicodemus, brother Sammy Jackson watch yo' step." Or as Al Jolson would caroon—
"Do not hit the grade, kid Bright lights make you fade, kid Then false friends fade, Sonny Boy!"
All athletes, especially young fellows full of fire, enthusiasm, and love of conquest have to have a play day, a recess from strenuous training; but this should be attended to as sensibly and carefully by a fighter or his manager as any detail of gymnasium routine or diet. When a rising boxer is filling the limelight there are ninety and nine to hang on to him who never gave him a tumble before. They stick to him until the punches of his opponent batter his carcass weakened by dissipation into the ash-can, when they beat it and find another "damb." All along during his short career Sammy's marvelous condition has caused him to weather the storm of more experienced opponents while he was learning the game. Now that he is in the top ranks any carlessness will sap his stamina and make him an easy prey for the dangerous opponents he will meet among the other contenders. Play? yes, but brother, Watch you' step!

Although it took several years for Ted Shaw, local boy to prove to western baseball circles that he is the goods, in one season this summer with the Detroit Stars he has become one of the most talked of pitchers in the Negro National League. Growing up on the sand lot and semi-pro teams around Los Angeles, Hunt's L. A. Giants. He was unable to get a break in the Winter League or attract the attention of the fans until drafted into the famous Mexican team that entered the Winter League the last half of last season. Although he could not speak Spanish he became the idol of team-mates and Mexican fans alike, and his mere appearance on the field was a signal for loud cheering, stamping and rising to their feet by the crowds in the stands and bleachers.
At the close of the season he went to the Detroit Stars as his first invasion into big league circles. Copping nine wins and only one loss till June 3 he was out a while with a spiked ankle but continued his winning streak on recovery. Local fans and friends have just begun to realize what a great pitcher they have in their midst and are anxiously awaiting his return next month to pay him due honor. Shaw has been signed by Jos. Newton to pitch on the All-Star team that with the Nashville Elite Giants as a foundation will form the powerful machine that will battle the crack white stars of the American, National, and Coast Leagues this winter at Joe Pirrone's White Sox Park.

Hampton and Lincoln to Play in Yankee Staudium

Sammy Jackson Training at Ranch For Corbett
Far away from the smoke, dust, noise and dizzy white lights of Brown Broadway, Sammy Jackson is preparing for the greatest battle of his brief career.
This is with Young Corbett, the Fresno southpaw who is hailed by most of the sporting world as the real, welterweight champion, because of wins over both Fields and Thompson when title holders.
Hence Sammy's manager moved him to Soper's ranch where he is roughing it in the hills and boxing with tough sparring partners. The fight takes place at the Olympic Auditorium, Sept., 27.

ZY! Oscar Rankin Substi-
tutes to Beat Colima
Not until Harvey Petit, fight manager came in through the manager's loot at 8:40 at the Olympic last Tuesday night did he know that his ed-headed cobored middleweight, Oscar Rankin was needed as a substitute.
This was in place of Jose Peregrina who took sick after weighing in to fight the celeber veteran, Bert Collima. After phoning Rankin, Petit drove out at 9:00 o'clock and brought him in.
He took Peregrina's place on 15 minutes' notice, then surprised everyone by having the best of the battle for four rounds. He was hit low in the fifth following a low one in the 3rd and badly hurt. The referee immediately gave the fight to Rankin on a foul.

Baby Sal in Tough Spot At Main Street
After having had rather easy competition during his comeback campaign, Baby Sal Sorio meets his toughest test at the Main Street Athletic club Saturday night when he meets' Herman Rittenhouse. San Diego welterweight. Rittenhouse is a cagey veteran who can box and punch. For a year or more he has been one of the biggest drawing cards at Tommy Landis' San Diego colseum. For the past month the Olympic auditorium has been negotiating for Sorio's services, but Crafton Lebo, the Mexican's manager, wants his charge to get plenty of fights under his belt before branching out at the larger clubs. When he deserts the Main Street she will be ready to step in with the best of them at the Olympic. The Rittenhouse bout should give a real line on just how far the Mexican has come back. If Sorio should score a knockout it will be his eighth straight.
Joe Schlocker, Jewish welterweight is matched with Frankie Lende in the Schlocker has plenty of class. He has done little boxing of late but has been training hard and should prove a big card at the smaller clubs. He can box and punch.
Saturday night's preliminaries are particularly strong. Johnny Christmas, colored lightweight who gave Joe Guerrero a great battle, will meet Johnny Martinez, Mexican puncher, in the four-round special event.
Pete Magellanes and Louis Ramos, a classy pair of Mexican featherweights, will tangle in a four-round Gene Mullens, hard hitting 100-pounder, meets Nish Kekeovon in a four-round bout and Santos Ninima and Salvador Macias, 110-pounders, box the four-round curtain raiser.
Win that beautiful prize at the "We Moderns" dance, Sept. 22nd at the Savoy.

CUBA HONORS "KID CHOCOLATE"
Havana, Cuba, Sept. 17.—(By Wm. Pickens for the Associated Negro Press)—The little coal-black "Kid" was in all his glory; loud suit, loud tie, loud handkerchief sticking in his breast pocket, loudest shoes and the loudest of loud smiles on his face. He wore his hair sleek, pomaded back tight to his head, and shaved up close on the neck, so that not a kink showed anywhere—as is the habit of a lot of Negro boys who live in a community dominated by straight hair. The "Kid" is only 20 years old, but passes for 22, so that he can fight 10-round bouts instead of only six rounds. He weighs 126 pounds, has a neck like a young bull, the back side of it being just about as wide as his head; his soulders are square and his muscles are evidently those of a young panther. He is a gentle and unspoiled kid in his manners, a natural sooc, and has been following the ring ever since he was a wee little one, selling papers at the rungside in the past, having stood up proudly and had his picture made with Jack Johnson when that worthy was in Havana to rid himself of his championship about fifteen years ago—and "The Kid" was a ringside newsy. This black boy has been bred, borned, nursed and raised at the boxing ring; it is his element, as water is to a fish; so that when he cuts loose in the arena, as a colored man of Havana, said, "He's just poison!"

Radio Station Rules Out Discrimination After Protest
New York, Sept. 12.—Protest to radio station W-O-R, at discriminatory remarks made by a speaker from its studio, has brought assurance from that station that such remarks would not be permitted in future, according to information sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Dr. George Fraier Miller of New Brunswick, N. J. Dr. Miller reports that on the third of September, one Clifford Parlman broadcast an invitation to citizens of New York City who were "twenty-one and white" to come to the offices of his firm for instructions as to how to make money in their spare time. Dr. Miller at once telegraphed protest both to the speaker and to the radio station. He sends to the N. A. A. C. P. copy of the following reply to his protest which the radio station wrote him:
"This will acknowledge your night letter of September 3 in which you file a protest against the copy used by Mr. Parliman in his broadcast that evening. Station W-O-R has always had its friends and listeners in mind when broadcasting programs and it is not our wish to have a single individual feel that we are prejudiced one way or the other. As the result of your comment we will delete any such references in future continuities which might be used on this station."
