ALVIN MOSES NEW HEAVY SENSATION THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION FILIPINOS PASS ANTI-RACE DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE The first anti-racial discrimination ordinance in the history of the Philipine Islands was enacted this fall by the Manila city council to curb the growth of color prejudice, which has been developing ever since the American occupation. The particular incident which caused the enactment of the ordinance was the refusal to admit Representative Briones, minority floor leader of the House of Representatives, to a fashionable apartment on Dewey Sea Shore Boulevard on account of his race. American owners of such apartment houses were denounced on the floor of both the house and the senate and Senator Clarin declared that "white people could carry on such practices in their own country and China but that it would never be permitted in the Islands." Representatives requested the city council t odraft an ordinance which would curb the evil and as a result an anti-racial discrimination ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote of both houses. It is expected that the national legislature will take steps to pass a law that twill make discrimination illegal throughout the Islands. The text of the bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any person who is the owner of any public place to refuse admission t another person on account of his color or race and that such offense is punishable with a fine of not more than 200 pence. The second offense carries wit hit the revocation of the Page—Twelve IT SEEMS TO ME— L. B. GRANGER It seems to me that the Negro group is in very much the same frame of mind as the small boy who has recently been frightened while passing the grave yard at night. When the hot owl screamed at him fro mute wil- in him to hide low tree, and when at the same time a passing gust of wind blew a white piece of paper at him, the small boy broke and ran, scared to the very bottom of his small boots. After that nothing could induce him to pass that grave yard at night, and any sudden noise or moving mush could make at the same time passing gust of wind blew a white piece of paper at him, the small boy broke an ran, scared to the very bottom of his small boots. After that nothing could induce him to pass that grave yard a night, and any sudden noise or moving mush could make him yell "bloody murder." The hoot of the owl, "Jim Crow," and the waving ghost of segregation have combined to confuse the outlook of the Negro. He fears, and rightly so, being segregated in a modern Ghetto, and is constantly on the lookout for any threat to his freedom of action, of movement, and of speech. Such vigilance is necessary and commendable. There is a vast difference, however, between vigilance and panic. The small boy is vigilant when he peers about him ior tramps and vicious dogs, but he is panicky when he runs from fancied ghosts. So with our racial group, in our light against race prejudice, in its various manifestations, let us be careful lest we run from ghosts, and in running rush headlong into the vey dange which we set out to avoid. Racial separation may develop in two ways. When it is a separation enforced from without, when a larger group sets barriers against the advance of a smaller group, lettering them with persecution and discrimination, that separation becomes Segregation, a thing to be despised and fought. When, however, the movement develops from within, when the weaker group gathers together, and pools thought, effort, and action in an attempt to break down their mutual barriers, then separation becomes CONCENTRATION. You may call it Concentration. Unification, Co-operation, call it what you will. The fact remains that no oppressed group has ever delivered itself from oppression except by joint effort In his fear of Segregation, the Negro often finds himself running away from Concentration, and in such avoidance he falls headlong back into the evils of Segregation. Let us get back to the basic roots of our problem and face its elemental causes. Let us recognize the fact that race prejudice, as an institution, is directed not at the individual but at the group. Its removal will finally come through action of the group, never through action of individuals within the group. Accumulation of a private fortune by one individual, purchase of a beautiful mansion by a Negro, rapid growth of a Negro business enterprise, while comforting to the individual and flattering to the race, does not really solve the race problem. Solution of our race problem will begin to dawn when the entire race shares in the success of the individual. Economic emancipation will be possible when private wealth accumulated by Negroes is spent among Negro enterprises and turned back to the group which made it possible. This is Concentration. Segregation is a wall which an unfriendly society has erected about us as a group. In seeking to batter down that wall, let us use the very tool which our enemies have placed in our hands, the tool of joint interests, joint effort, joint success. Let us CO-OPERATE! If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Community Builders Community Builders Union Labor Shows Community Way to Success Through Co-operative Endeavor By LOREN MILLER Today's story is not that of a single man; it is one of men with the names of certain of their leaders, notably Fred Thornton, John Kelson, John Williams, J. L. Freeman and Clarence Johnson running through it. There were others, of course, men who gave as much and sacrificed as much as those named but somehow the intangible quality of leadership has clung to some of them while others have jaded into a minor background. The story is one of men who learned through adversity that in union there is strength — strength to overcome age old prejudices and bring co-operation where before there had been only undercurrents of dissension. Five yeas ago there were few men in the city who would have believed that it was possible to unite the cooks and waiters of the Southern Pacific system into a union that would engage that powerful corporation in two wage battles and emerge victorious, equip a club house with $4,000 worth of furniture and pay for it, win a half dozen smaller victories and establish a cooperative banking institution that would be first of its kind among Negroes. Yet that is what these men have done. The story begins, like most epics of achievement, in the dreams of some "visionary" men that they might remedy some of the unfavorable conditions under which they lived. The Southern Pacific railway company had promulgated some working rules for these employees that they thought were unfair and unjust. For years the men had tried to remedy them with little success. It was borne in upon them that their only way out lay through organization in an age where mergers and combinations are the rule. Out of those dreams came the organization of Local 582 of the Dining Car Cooks and Wiaters Union. The union was organized May 4, 1926 with nine members and with Fred Thornton as president and Clarence Johnson as executive secretary the FLOODLIGHTS BY WILLIAM HOUSTON (Editor's Note—Mr. Houston will have license in this new column of his to discuss whatever pleases him in contemporary drama, music and literature. He is a graduate student at the University of Southern California and has been highly complimented for the part which he has taken in several amateur productions at his school.) PETER PAN AT THE CIVIC REPERTORY THEATRE— Do you believe in fairies? No! Why, of course you do! Everyone does whether he admits it or not. Don't you ever dream about the beautiful things you can't have? Don't you ever build beautiful castles and furnish them with all of the loveliness you could possibly dream of, and people them with kindly congenial folk, surround them with gardens that never cease smiling—and then keep the whole thing to yourself for fear someone might laugh at you and spoil it all! Well, that's just the sort of thing that Sir J. M. Barrie discusses in his delightful drama, "Peter Pan." Peter Pan, you know, is the boy who never grows up. He lives in the Never-Never land, the region of lost first meetings were held in the old Bronix hotel. In reality Johnson's home was the office and all of the business was transacted there. Two years later the union had rented and equipped a club house at 1158 E. 12th street and established not only offices but a home that rivals in furnishings and equipment any home in the city. Today that home's equipment has been paid for without any outside help and the organization numbers more than 100 men; one of the strongest Negro labor unions in the country. Long before it had moved into a home the union had bent itself to the task of remedying the conditions against which it had been born to fight. On October 1, 1928, the Southern Pacific had been forced by the United States Railroad Labor Board to rescind an order it had made charging the men with one working hour for each meal. That victory was won in conjunction with the brother union in Oakland as a partner in the battle. It forecast the success of the effort. Two years later in April 1928 the union was to engage in another contest with the company and emerge with a six and a half per cent wage increase for its men. Today the conditions under which the men of the Southern Pacific company work are so widely known that when a national organization of cooks and waiters was projected last summer the sponsors sent from Chicago for Johnson to come and tell them how to do it. He was elected to the board of directors of the national group. But these men have to their credit another stroke of business accuse them that almost overshadows the original work. Last spring they formed a credit union. Even the words have an unfamiliar ring to Negroes. In essence a credit union is a co-operative bank- dreams and forgotten children. One evening he flies into the nursery of some real children and whisks them away to live with them in his beautiful country. They all have a glorious time (skipping about, hunting with bows and arrows) until they are attacked and carried away by a band of pirates, led by the terrible Captain Hook. All but Peter Pan, that is, Oh, no, he escapes their notice by some means or other only to appear on the scene a little while later at just the crucial moment, outwift the evil-doers and save his little friends. Oh, he's a clever fellow! Then, having had all these adventures, the young gallants fly back home. But that's one trip they can't persuade Peter to make. "What," he says, "to go to school and then grow up and go to an office?" No sir, I want always to be a boy and have fun." Well, wouldn't it be great if you never had to grow old and serious, if life could always be lived in the land of make-believe? The popular opinion is that Peter Pan was written for and about children but I think that Barrie writes about life so cleverly that anybody can enjoy what he says.

The men buy shares in the union and a member may then borrow ten times the amount he has invested. The plan is supervised by the state banking commission and is as safe as any other financial concern. Today the credit union, only six months, old is in sound condition and is showing a remarkable growth. All too briefly that is the story of a labor organization. It is too brief to tell the stories of the struggles and heartaches and faith that has taken to build it. Its strength in numbers has increased more than ten fold and in public confidence and favor a thousand fold. These men, Negroes, comman laborers, men who people "knew" could never unite have done so. In their case there has been no whining or pleading for help, no cry of prejudice and discrimination; only the indomitable will to help themselves. From their organization there has been absent the fanfare of trumpets and the hollow mockery of rituals that is thought to go with the organization of Negroes. So silently have they done their work that it is almost unknown in the community they have helped to build. Such men, you may be sure are not content to rest on their laurels. Already they look forward eagerly to the extension of the credit union to other colored employees. By spring, they tell you earnestly, that will be done. In an age when Negroes live, think and dream economics this story of economic self help is one to breed hope in a race that is traditionally unable to co-operate. As a lesson in community betterment it has few peers for after all what better gift can men-bring to their community than the ability to help themselves and solve their own problems? THREE YEARS Texarkana, Dec. 17—By A.N.P.—Three years at hard labor was the sentence imposed on Felix Wafer and George Wafer, when they were found guilty of burglarizing a store here. MUSICAL WEST CONDUCTED BY JOHN A. GRAY The question of a double standard for the sexes is a subject that has been much discussed by groups and individuals in all walks of life. However, we wish to call your attention to another case of double standard that has a sinister influence upon the moral and artistic development of the race. It is a well-known fact that the other group is just beginning to permit our artists to show anything that looks like intelligence, or that seeks to portray any other side of the Negro except the rapidly dying out "Ucle Tom" type. The American public has demanded that the Negro performer be a clown, a comedian and has persistently refused to accept him in any other role. Even today it seeks to make excuses for individuals like Coleridge-Taylor, Roland Hayes and others who have proved that color, has nothing to do with art. Some white people have gone so far as to say that these men were not Negroes. It is a distinct shock to many of them I learn that all Negroes are not criminals, morons and backward people. It upsets all the theories that they have been taught concerning us. When the average white American says, "You are different from most Negroes" he means that you are different from what he has been taught to expect. It is much easier for a singer who sings nothing but spirituals to get a hearing before a white audience, even though the performance is badly done, than it is for a serious student of the voice to appear before the same audience and sing a program that contains some music from the classics. This same group will donate large sums to aid a Negro school that does not seek to raise the Negro above a certain cultural level. The double standard comes in when they praise these performers and apparently place them in the same category wit the best white artists. But behind our backs they smile and say that they have a different standard for the Negro. The sad part is that some of our people are fool enough to believe that they are equal to the great artists of the world because of this method. We have much talent but most of it is in primitive state of development. Like the precious stones, we must be cut and polished. However, does this polishing mean that we are to lose our racial characteristics or develop the hidden beauties of the same? Must we forever use bad 28,000 Pounds of Turkeys For Employees' Christmas Continuing its policy of many years standing, Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation will distribute approximately 28,000 pounds of Xmas turkeys to its permanent employees. "This practice," state President and General Manager, Addison B. Day, "Was begun over 36 years ago and has been faithfully adhered to ever since. It is the corporation's desire to supply the chief item for the Xmas dinner of our employees. The birds, which are of choice stock, will be fresh-killed and shipped in especially to grace the Christmas tables of our workers." Children of employees will also be remembered at the annual Xmas party which will be given by the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Employees' Association for the children of its members on Saturday afternoon, December 20, in hite auditorium of the company's main office building. There will be a large Xmas tree and Santa Claus will present each youngster with candy and toys.

English, he bolsterous in public, narrow, envious. simple, a la Amos 'n Andy, in order to be Negroes? Are not our real racial characteristics these; Honesty, reliability, warm sympathetic hearts, sunny dispositions, ability to adjust ourselves to surrounding conditions, faith in a Supreme Being and real love toward our fellow man. Do we not forgive our enemies and love them that despitefully use us? Do we not sing from our hearts rather than from our heads? Let us set our own standard and compel other groups to recognize it. Let us remember though, that politeness, intelligence, sincerity and noble character do not belong to any race entirely, and that Negroes have as much right to be refined and cultured as any other race has. Let us get rid of our habit of being late, of our lack of faith in ourselves and the many other hindrances that hold us back and strive t odevelop our better qualities. Above all let us cease playing the part of the monkey for the white man. Friday, December 19, 1930 FATHER IS ATTORNEY AS SON GETS PRISON TERM FOR BURGLARY THREE YOUTHS MUST SERVE SAN QUENTIN SENTENCES FOR WAREHOUSE STEAL Convicted of three counts of a grand theft, robbery and burglary, Major Broyles, Jr., Lucius Waters and John Pettigrew, scions of prominent Los Angeles families, were given sentences of from two to 20 years in the prison at San Quentin, by Judge Ray B. Schauer. The boys were charged with the theft of $9,000 worth of cigarettes from the Western Warehouse and transportation company. Broyles and Waters were represented in the trial by the father of the fomer, W. H. Broyles, who is one of the prominent lawyers of the city. Pettigrew was represented by Stanley Visel, white, and it was Pettigrew's testimony that sent the trio to prison. Taking the stand last Thursday he turned state's evidence. The boys have all been prominent in the younger social set of the city. Previously they have been engaged in escapades that brought censure from elders but until the present time none of their pranks brought anything more than mild rebukes. The offenses for which they were convicted occurred last September. They are alleged to have entered the warehouse and to have bound up the night watchman and pifered the merchandise. Taking one of the trucks of the company they sought to flee only to have the truck break down. Their arrest followed when the night watchman, freeing himself, called police. The men were captured when they returned to the truck with a car in which to transport the goods. The trial occupied more than a week in the department nine of the Superior court. W. H. Broyles, father of Major Broyles, has been engaged in practice in the city for more than a decade and last August was a candidate for the senate, running on what he described as a "poor man's ticket."

Graphic Arts Building Los Angel BRUCE A. FINDLAY Manager Exploitation and Public Relations Dept. Work now being carried forward by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in an endeavor to stimulate business conditions in this area, is the biggest group movement being directed to this end, in Southern California, Secretary-Manager A. G. Arnold of the Chamber declared today. In qualifying his assertion, Arnoll outlined several of the programs now under way, and which are being conducted by one or more of the fifteen departments of the orgasmation, the plans showing that the principal effort at the present time is being made to stimulate buying and provide employment for those seeking work in this territory. One of the leading branches of the Chamber's work is the industrial department, maintaining a staff of skilled engineers and with the principal function of endeavoring to attract new industry of a non-competitive nature and branch manufacture, into this territory. A primary activity of the department is also to assist established manufacturer with various problems such as those involving freight rates, legislation roads and other matters. Through a large and intensive advertising campaign, covering all of the journals of both general circulation and of a trade nature, the Chamber of Commerce has effectively called the attention of the industrialist of this territory. Direct mail, including reports and surveys pertinent to various lines of manufacture, as well as personal contact made with the industrial executive himself in his eastern office by Chamber engineers, are among the methods employed to "sell" the advantages of this county. With its more than 13,000 members, the Chamber's work is made more effective by the active participation of several hundred industrial executives, business and professional men, as well as agriculturists, whip serve on its many committees. The programs of each department are passed upon first by the men of these committees, representing the community at large, the departments then carrying on the work agreed as being most effective. From a payroll of $55,110,576 in 1919, which properly marks the beginning of the Chamber's intensive efforts to bring industry here, a total of $99,746,654 was paid to wage earners in 1927, according to the Federal industrial census, which retailers in Los Angeles as well as wholesalers, found to have been a material factor in the development and prosperity of their various lines of business, Chamber officials declare. Already embarked on the first of a series of trade and goodwill tours that will be continued through the spring and winter months, the Chamber's domestic trade department also materially contributes to the prosperity of business and industry by the widespread scope of its functions. Two trade commissioners are constantly traveling for this department, covering various areas in the eleven western states and preparing market data and surveys are furnished without charge to all manufacturers and distributors in this area.

Having a port to be merely used as a convenience for those lines of business which employed marine transportation to escape high rail freight rates, did not appeal to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce when the port came into being several years ago. The Chamber of Commerce when the port came into obeying several years ago. The Chamber set out to provide business for the port which would be reflected in greater prosperity for this territory and again leaders in L. A. assert that it is the work of that organization that has pushed the development of the harbor more than any other agency Assured by several steamship services that if the business was provided, the port would be well served. The Chamber's foreign commerce department set to work. Experiences men who have been active in foreign trade for several years, are employed on the staff of this department to principally educate manufactures in this area of the profits to be outlined in overseas markets. Foreign trade commissioners have been sent to develop markets for commodities produced here, telling their message first hand to merchants in all countries of the Orent, South America, Central America and Mexico, again, thousands of orders have been placed with firms here, wholly through the efforts of these skilled Chamber agents, resulting to a large degree in the present staggering total of water commerce through Los Angeles Harbor which was shown to total 25,920,159 tons with a value of $1,055,808,494, at the close of the fiscal year on June 30, last. Protection of farm land investors is an important part of the Chamber's work carried on by the agricultural department, and attention' is given through other branches toward bringing conventions here, receiving tourists and visitors, furnishing statistical data and exploiting the attractions of the county through various mediums. It is the continuous and strong support further that has made the organization a potent factor in representing the area in obtaining those things regarded as vital to prosperity.

PYRAMID CO-OPERATIVE ASS. By Irene Givens Freeman, Sec'y. --- TWinoks 1270 The Provident Baptist Association, under the leadership of Rev. Rozier, modulator, held a two days' lay inspirational meeting at the Mt. Olive Baptist church last week. Dinner was served both days to those who were present. Mrs. Alma Majors of Pace avenue has moved into her new home. Thursday evening, December 11, she held open house for her friends. Mrs. Betty Payne, mother of Mr. J. E. Payne of Pace avenue, left for Phoenix, Arizona, where she will spend Christmas week with her daughter, Mrs. Cora Jones, who is a teacher in the public schools of that city. Mr. Jesse Lester, 11730 Holmes avenue, is very seriously ill at this writing. Mr. Lester is the father of Ruth Mack. One of the small twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Polk of Zamora avenue was taken to White Memorial Hospital last week because of a very severe cold which was threatening to turn into pneumonia. She is reported to be much better. We wish to correct an error which appeared in last week's issue. The Los Jardines Art club was entertained at the home of Mrs. Elinor McCloney of Parmelee avenue instead of at the home of Mrs. Ruby McCauley, as we reported. The members of the Los Jardines wish to thank their many friends for their support at their annual Bazaar ball which was held some time ago and at which more than $50.00 was collected for the poor. The annual Pajama party of the club will be held New Year's day at the home of Mrs. Sarah Young. Children of the club members will be entertained sometime Christmas week with a party at the home of Mrs. Goldie Collette on Parmelee avenue. Are you entertaining during the holidays? If so call at LA. 6446 and have it appear in this column. Let your friends know about it, there is no charge. The Christmas program given at the 96th Street School was very well done. Central Avenue Gardens was well represented. Mrs. Idelle Bateman and Miss Moraine Jackson are rehearsing the children for the Christmas program to be given at Mount Olive chuch during the holidays. Messrs. and Mesdames L. Bateman and George Jefferson were hosts to Mr. and Mrs. Cook and Mr. Freeman of Chicago on a slumming party last Sunday night. All Los Angeles and Southern California stores of the Eastern Outfitting Company will remain open evenings until Christmas, according to the announcement made by officials of the company yesterday. This order becomes effective today, says the announcement. "Gifts for the home, such as are featured by our stores, are very often purchased by family groups, "says Adolph Sieroty, founder and general manager of the Eastern, "And we regard i tas a real service to keep our doors open throughout eac hevening until Christmas. "From all indications, this is to be a Christmas of practical, lasting gifts. We are prepared with a stock at least twice as large as we have ever before displayed." BALTIMORE PRISONER SEN- TENCED TO HANG Baltimore, Md., Dec. 17—By A.N. P.-Lorenzo Price must die on the gallows for the murder of Reuben Heyman, a white man, according to the decision of the court when Price was found guilty of murder in the first degree. This was Price's second trial. The first was held in February and he was accorded a new trial after he had been found guilty.

According to the competent mer who made the survey, there are more Negroes without job: now than a tany previous time in history. Unemoloyment is 2 serious matter for the Negro, more serious for him than fot any other group, as a group, in America, for Negroes depend more on gainful occupations for their livelihood than do other recial blocs. When jobs fail the Negro, his entire economic structure is threatened. No can the Negro longer depend on the charity of others for the employment that he must have. His newly found inde. pendence ‘indicates that he must do more than beg for work, he must actively seek it, and, when he can, create it. The busi- ness of seeking for and creating employment is not alone the task of the man who ‘will work at the job; it is as much the business, if not more, of those who will profit from the money he earns. ‘ = In the-past the business and professional classes of the Negro have been slow to recognize their part in the quest of the job hunter for emp!oyment. They have been too prone to sit back and be content to take the money after it was earned under the theory that their tasks began and ended with the rendering of their professional services. Los Angeles business and professional men have been no exception to the rule. For some time there has been in this city a body of organized public opinion seeking to find some way out of the muddle into which the Negro has fallen. That move- ment has had little active support from those who will ulti. mately profit most from it. The Women’s Industrial Council and the other agencies have had to struggle alone'as best they could. It may,'and probably will, be urged that the programs as put forward have not met with the enthusiastic approvals of | some of these men but that is a poor excuse.

Its cheer has pene ted into nearly every land under the sun, as the cheer of the last stanza of the cardi'drove away the fog and frost that hung above the black gateway of o'd Scrooge, the misanthrope, the night before Christmas. And there is still enough cheer left thet story to warm every heart in this city, whatever its degree of hardness, cynicism or disappointment may be. ‘ The church took over the day into its sacred almanac from other calendars in which the day or season was celebrated as the birthday of the unconquered sun in the skies, and made it the birthday of the “Son of od.” ‘But without losing its sacred character it has spread the tidings of that good will which is and will ever be associated with the birthnight in Bethlehem into every household, whether Jew or Gentile, Protestant or Catholic, whether with or without one of the faiths that found their cradle in what is to many of differing creeds, a Christian, Jewish, Moslem holy land. The pervasion of this community and of every community and of every community in this country and every community in many countries by the Christmas spirit at this season makes it the nearest to a universa! holiday that the world knows, and the fact that a day of this import is more widely observed than any other is perhaps the best ground for hope that the world will be a better world as the Christmases multiply, > 3 See ee eee SELF SERVICE ee ae 2S ee a pi?

Just as wise a crack can be said of the mixing of Democrat and Republican theories of government. The political wise-acres viewed humurously the vaunted announcement that adherents of two major parties would bury their dif- ferences and support the Administration in what ever measures proposed for the economic adjustment of the nation. Old Bolivar was in ecstacy, but he made the mistake of using his proboscis in caressing the ticklish part of Jacks anatomy an? —Bang!Two hefty hoofs were planted right between the two eyes of Bolivar. The result was a badly damaged front. It was too much to believe that the Democrats, elated by their sweeping victory in November, would sit supinely and allow credit to the opposi- tion for any piece of constructive legislation go uncontested. When the President, made issue with the proponents of increased appropriations for unemployment, and said that the increase wonld place a burden on the tax-paver; He criticised them as “playing politics at the expense of hut. man miserv. “There was a counter attack which accused the President of not only piaving politics. but protecting the interests of wealthy income taxpayers. ‘The caustic Pat Harrison, Miss.. declared that the “President was irving to put the Democratic leadership in a hole.” Caraway charg- ed, “Hoover had plaved politics at the expense of human misery. by minimizing the disaster that has befallen the American people until after the recent election.” What promised to be “Love feast” has developed ine to a battle royal. & be de aed 'e r In order that politics misht not engage the entire front sae. the | church hggestgnet 9 _iittle publicity stunt of its cawa’“Companionate MarR” Jue bea Ly dry aod hep Maine, were the main act- As in the drama stared at a Sunday mewhing service in the Episcopal Cathedral of Saint John:the Divine with a wealthy and fashionably dressed audience exhibiting their ideas of Christianity in alleeed bursts of profanity and violence.

He savs. “Pichon Mannina incited his church audience to a near riot by defaming my character and misrepresenting my motives in what is, commonly call- ed my book on Companionate Marriage.” The Bishop is subpoenaed for the trial which promises one of the examplary exhibits of modern theo- ries of Chris's teachings. Even those who do not aerce with the theories of Judve Lindsay are of the opinion that the good Bishop transcended ‘he ethics of the pulriteer by his personal reference in the attack on ludze Linsay’s theories on marriage. Too often Clerics take the op- portunity for personal beratement by a hedgement of sanctity which tra- lition has handed down, Preachers have dared to make utterance to houghts in their putnits which thev would not utter in a public forum. | Some of our; fraternal leaders are like the preachers. They have hedged hemselves about with laws which makes it “treason” to criticize their| iction. The opinions of men can not be stifled by traditions of sezted- |. 1ess nor “‘treasonable” laws. te 8 kee oe The Protocol of the President advocating adherence to the World| court has been sent to the Senate. “There is a division of opinion as o whether it should, at this time, be brought out from the committee or discussion.

Men and women remember when there were ap- ppeals made for them to “Give Until It Hurts’ ‘that starving’ people abroad might Be fed. They remember also that this government of theirs, almost without debate, authorized one hundred millions ef dollars, to be expended for the food of starving Europe. Now, when hunger stalks at their own doors the same government quibbles over a less amount to provide WORK for themselves in order that they might provide food for hungered wives and babies. And too: Such objection as made through fear of an increase of taxation on the multimillionare whose fortune has been accumulated through governmental leniency. This unemploy- ment situation has many angies. it is conceded that there is a surplus of wealth in the United States’ There is no dearth of money. But it is concentrated in the hands of the few. On every side there is evidence of ‘great wealth. ‘Its desplay is a challenge to the shivering line waiting for ‘its dole of bread and soup. What was it that caused the downfall of Russia under the Czar?:’ There was no end to the wealth of the few; the natural resources of the country are inexhaustible, yet, poverty and misery were over shadowing all. The Peasant, who was supposed to be devoid of thought, awoke, and bloodshed and death birthed another government whose theories threaten the peace of Christian civilization. Fortunately: Whatever egotistic minds may think, the American peo- ple do think. They have minds of their own, but instead of expressing their minds through rapine and murder; they have recourse to the BALLOT. But hunger in the human being is a dangerous thing. It of- times overcomes sane thinking and food becomes a public necessity. In the United States there should be no need of general unemployment.

The -city of Prague is quite large and one finds much ‘of interest. Its churches are beautiful though riot comfortable from the American view= point. Its people are very devout and show reverence to padres: whenever they meet a priest they say “God be praised” or “God be with vou.” Is this not a beautiful’ custom, a wonderful sign of devotion?

If he at- tempts ot edit it and cut out some of the unimportant details he can be sure that the circulation manager will be hovering around his desk the next week to show him a letted cancelling a subscription and then he will be suspect in the business office for a month. If on the other hand he shuts his eyes and prints the blooming thing his telephone will ring bright and early the next morning and thereafter all day long and’ cutting voices at the other end of the wire half of which will niquire in accents loaded with arcasm about his tendency to waste space. The other half of the callers will want to know Why their letters were butchered up and that one al- lowed to run, Between these fires the editor lives a gloomy and morose existence and finally dies a broken and disappoint- ed man. One editor more or less is not important, of course, but the mi- sery and suffering visited on those unfortunates who live with him is worth considering. And there is one e- ditor in the world who can think of no happier Christmas 'than a whole year just crammed with short letters that are to the point. P.

Moncada Before Sub-Congressional Committee At Washington, D. ¢ Statement of Dr. Hilario c. Moncado, President of The Filipino Federation of America, Inc., Which Has Its Main Offices in Los Angeles, renee ae The “Filipino Nation,” Whick Pees Ghccltes rages coe ee: See Ee ae cal Page—Two Mr. Chairman and Members of this distinguished: ang honorable Commit- tee: Tam indeed deeply indebted to your distinguished and honorable chairman, Congressman Albert Johnson of the State of Washington, for permitting my humble person to appear before this distinguished and _ honorable body, and to express my sincere feel- ing and heartielt desire in behalf of my humble people, the Filipinos. As long as the Phillippine Islands have not yet been granted freedom by the United States Government, I am bitterly opposed to the passage of the Filipino Exclusion law, a bill pre- sented by Congressman Welch of Ca- lifornia'to the Congress of the United States of America. : To exclude the Filipinos, without giving them their independence, would be utterly at variance with American principles of square dealing and ideals of democracy. Primarili, then, we are interested in knowing just what relation the Treaty of Paris —which ended’ our war: with Spain— created between the United States on the one hand and the Phi- lippine Islands and their ink-bitants on the other. The Supreme Court of the United States, in construing the force and effect of such a treaty, stat- ed as follows in the Diamond ' Ring case, 185 U. S. 176: “The Philippines thereby ceased, in the language of the Treaty, ‘to be Spanish’. Ceasing to be Spanish they ceased to be a foreign country. They came under the complete and absélute sovereignty and dominion of the United States over which ci- vil government could be- establish- ed* * *The allegiance (of the native inhabitants) became due to the-Unit- “ed States, and they became entitled to its protection”. : “The Philippines, like Porto Rico, became, by virtue of the Treaty, ceded conquered territory, of terri- tory ceded by way of indemnity. * © *The Philippines were not sim- ply occupied but acquired, and hav- ing been granted and delivered to the United States by their former master, were no longer under the sovereignty of any other nation* * * Spain granted the Islands ‘to the United States, and the grantee, in accepting them, took nothing {ess than the whole grant”. Such a move would make oytcast of all of the Filipinos. They would have no: international standing of any sort. Other nations would be unfriendly to- ward them, believing that if they were excluced from the domain of ‘heir Uncle Sam, there must be some- thing wrong about them, and hence ther countries would start to. bar them as well, Again, in the case of De Lima v. Bidwell, 182 U. S. 1, involving the levy of duties upon merchandise im- ported from Porto Rico, our Supreme Court stated: “A foreign country was defined by Chief Justice Marshall to be one exclusively within the sovereignty of a foreign nation and without the sovereignty of the United :States. * * *It may undoubtedly become necessary for the adequate admini- stration of a domestic territory (of the United States) to pass a-special Act providing for the proper ma- chinery and officials* * *but no act is necessary to make it domestic territory if once it has been ceded to the United States* * *We are unable to acquiesce in- the assump- tion that a territory may at the same time be both foreign and domestic’.

B, LLM, LL President and Founder Filipino Federation of America with a Membership of 1,023,000 People By the act of May 22, 1918, “To prevent departure from or entry into the United States in time of war con- trary to public safety,” it is provided: “That the term ‘United States’, as used in thi sAct, includes the Canal Zone and all territory and waters, continental and insular, subject to the jurisdiction of ‘the United States”. The laws of the United States re- lating to passports were amended June 14, 1902, by inserting after the phrase “Consular Officers of the United States”, the following: “* * tand by” such chief or other executive officers of the insular pos- sessions of the United States”. Filipino exclusion would be a die stinct slap in the face at Christianity because of the fact that 90 per cent ‘of the Filipinos are of Christian faith, nd by excluding them along with the Japanese and Chinese we would be placing them in the same category with non-Christian nations, who have ia own religions. It was also provided that: “No passport shall be granted or issued. to or verified for any other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or not, to the Unit- ed States”. 5 Under this Act, passports have been and; are issued, under the seal of the Government of the Philipine Islands, ‘and the signature of the Governor- General, to Filipinos of all classes. Fi- lipinos holding such passports are en- titled, when traveling abroad, ‘to thc same consideration and protection as are enjoyed by American citizens, and to like services from our diplomatic and consular officials. Should Filipi- nos be excluded from the | United States and this law remain operative, the anomalous situation would be pre~ sented of their being permitted to travel freely in foreign countries, with the same rights and protection accorded to American citizens, while denied such sights inthe United States—to which country they owe allegiance, and which, in turn, owes, them protection. Filipino exclusion, without inde- pendence first, would picture to the world the United States as a break- gf of faith. Having promised the Phi- ippine Government autonomy as soon ‘whey would be able to set up a stale government in the preamble of the Jones Law, it would indeed be a a breach of trust to not only deny then. independence but to ban. them front their father country as well. Uijder existing laws, every Filipino electtd_or appointed to any office or Positio® of trust in the Philippines, whether insular, provincial of munici- pal, must, before entering upon the dischaiye or his duties, takes and sub- scribes to an oath wherein he declares that he recognizes and accepts the su- preme authority of the United States of America and will maintain true faith and allegiance thereto, and that he will obey the laws, local orders, and decrees promulgated by its con- stituted authorities. The United dtates tlag flies over all public buildings in the Philippines, as also over all vessels registered by the Philippine Government for, domestic or foreign commerce. Filipino exclusion would be a heavy blow at education, for the Filipinos Pibes poe eee oe ele eat res cee believing this was thé wish of their Uncle Sam and that the faster they absorbed ecucation the quicker would come their freedom. With indepen- dence denied them’ and _ exclusion thrust upon them, the Filipinos would have little incentive to study to im- prove their condition, Under its immigration policies the United States is fully empowered to exclude or restrict the entry of ‘aliens’ into our country. Foreign nations posses the reciprocal right to exclude Americans from their territory. Fili- Pinos, however, are not ‘aliens’ or ci- tizens of a foreign country, but are under the jurisdiction of the United States, which prescribes their form of government and enact$ their immi- gration laws. It is tobe remeimbertd that the Fi- lipinos became subjects! of the Unitew States without their violation, By question as to the limits of this le Rislative power of Congress over ter- ritories are answered ag, follows: “To this I answer that, in common with all. other legislative powers of Congress, it finds limits in the ex- press prohibitions on Congress not to do certain things; that, in the ex- excise of the legislative power, Con- gress cannot pass an ex post facto law or bill of attainder; and so in Fespect to each of the other prohi- bitions contained in the Constitu- tion”, In Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U. S. 298, Chief Justice Taft, amplified this statement, ‘and referred, to the claim that the Constitution does not apply to our insular possessions as follows: ‘The Constitution of -/the United States is in force in Porto. Rico as is is wherever and whenever the so- Yereign power of that Government . is exercised. This has not only been admitted, but emphasized | by this court in/all its authoritative expres- sions arising in the Insular Cases, and particularly in Downes v. Bid- well and the Dorr Cases. The Con- stitution, however, contains grants of power and limitations which im the nature of things are not always. and every where applicable, and the real issue in the Insular “Cases was not whether the Constitution extended to the Philippines and Por- to Rico when we went thére, but which of its provisions were applic- able by way of limitation upon the exercise of executive and legislative power in dealing with new condi- tions and requirements. The gua- ranties of certain. fundamental per- sonal rights declared in the Con- stitution, as for instance that ne person could be deprived of life,-li- berty or property without due pro- cess of laW, had from the beginning full application in the Philippines and Porto Rico. Whether Congress — is empowered, under the legislative aujhority over territories, to exclude Filipinos from the United States, hinges: upon the - question whether such action would leprive the Filipinos of a fundamental personal right — whether’ of liberty of property — accruing to them as subjects of the United States, owing allegiance thereto, and entitled to its vrotection. It can well be insisted that . denial of their freedom to move’ at vill between the Philippines and the United States, or any territory sub- ect to its jurisdiction,-would be an warranted restraint upon their per onal liberty. Certainly this would be true of le- gslation which sought” to. prevent ersons, guilty of no crime, from pass- ng freely from one part of the main- ind of the United States to another. ‘here would seem no good reason for brogating such rule when applied to 2e_ citizens sof one of our territories, hich territory is equally “under the omplete and absolute sovereignty and ominion of the United States”. Conceding that the unlimited entry t Filipinos into the United States ix be deplored and if continued will evitably result in friction ‘and. dis- rd in our Philippine relations and ‘ove detrimental to both countries; id conceding further, for the. sake’= ‘argument, that, given the existing lations between ‘the Philippines and e United States, Congress will not use or cannot enact legislation to « ohibit Filipino immigration, then: hat remedy is available to meet the uation? The only remedy is to grant em independence. 23 Sean ae a5 tates et eee canbe WOODS' MORTUARY PASADENA LOVE'S WORLD MUSEUM SAN DIEGO SECTION By: Mrs. E. B. Wesley --- Friday, December 19, 1930 WOODS' PAS About two years ago the Woods Funeral Home sprang into existence with the erection of a $16,000 home at 87 South "Vernon avenue," Pasadena, California, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. James Wods. This energetic young man was born in Gonzales, Texas and schoolleo in the Prairie View Normal and Industrial school. He came to California nine years ago. While he worked in a shoe shine parlor he conceived the idea of becoming an undertaker and made arrangements to attend the Horace Mole School of Anatomy and Practical Embalming. Working during the daytime he attended school at nights. He succeeded in that manner in completing his course and received the certificate of licensed embalmer. At once he set about erecting a modern home and as the picture above shows, he built one that is second to none. It is fully equipped and ultra modern. The business has steadily grown until he has been enabled to buy a Packard hearse and two Lincoln passenger cars for family service. A lady attendant, Mrs. V. Corey, is a member of the official staff, while his wife, Mrs. Anna Woods, renders invaluable service in all funeral arrangements beside attending to the business end of the home. She has proven herself a wonderful executive. With adequate rolling stock, the Woods establishment is in a position to give service in any part of the state. Written testimonials are in Wood's possession from undertakers in different states where he has shipped bodies and they pronounce him a peer in embalming service, saying—"The bodies are the best preserved that ever came under their observation." SAN DIEGO By: Mrs. E. PHONE M. 6543 Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass of the California Eagle were guests of distinction in San Diego Sunday afternoon; Mrs. Bass having come down to address the race relations meeting at Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday night. Mrs.Viola Brazil, young evangelist, who has been conducting a revival meeting at the Church of God in Christ returned to Los Angeles Monday. Mrs. Carrie Davis of Everette, Washington, is in the city, having been called here on account of the illness of her mother, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Davis is the sister of Joe Robinson, one of our business men. Mr. and Mrs. Washington of Pueblo are in San Diego for a few days. Bethel Baptist Church Mr. E. Brown, one of the instructors at Woodrow Wilson school, addressed the brotherhood of the Bethe church last Sunday night on "Going Nowhere". Mr. Brown's address was very interesting. Under the direction of Ms. J. R. Craft, a very excellent program is being prepared for Christmas. Church of God in Chist. Beginning on Christmas day a prevailing prayer convocation, to last for ten days or more to which the public is invited, will be opened. Everyone, especially praying people, is invited to this service. Praying banos will be formed. This movement is purely nonsectarian. The ultimate object is to glorify God. All nations are welcome. Bethel A. M. E. Church— Sunday morning services were well attended. The pastor, the Reverend X. C. Runyon, preached a great sermon on "Whole Heartedness". At 7:30 p. m. the regular second Sunday night race relation program, sponsored by Mr. Dennis Allen was presented and consisted of: Opening services, conducted by the Rev Runyon; selections by the choir; solos by Mrs. J. Helen Brown; readings by Lena Torrence; selections by Bob Baker's orchestra and an address by Mrs. C. A. Bass. D. V. Allen acted as master of ceremonies and refreshments were served at the completion of the ceremonies. In its entirety this was one of the most brilliant programs given by the organization that sponsored it.

A harp augmented the strength and harmony of this more than delightful musical organization. Mrs. Bass Speaks The special feature of the meeting was the speech delivered by Mrs. Bass, publisher of the California Eagle at Los Angeles. The message brought by Mrs. Bass did not in any manner fall short of the expectations of her audience. It was a master piece and proved that this erudite race woman is among the most intelligent and well informed women in the country. Her listeners followed her closely as she outlined the achievements of the Negro and his part in civilization. Nor did the speaker fail to point out the short comings of the race and indicate ways for its advancement. She pleaded for a closer union among the various races of, the world for their mutual good. Ms. Bass was introduced by the San Diego representative of the Eagle. A pageant, "A Christmas Dream," given by the Wide Awake club, of which Mrs. John Carr is president, and directed by Mrs. Runyon will be presented at the church Sunday night, December 21st. The lighting effects alone promise to be things of dazzling beauty. The Sunday school has announced an unusually good program for Christmas eve. Mrs. Kane, Mrs. Vest and Miss Anderson are training the children. The Rev. J. Brown, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, will occupy the pulpit of Bethel Christmas morning at 4:30 o'clock. The choir of that church will furnish the music. The Pastor's Aid will give a play by the children during the holidays. Representative— The San Diego high school advanced orchestra, consisting of more than 70 members, directed by that master musician, N. Mancelli, has for one of its members, Miss Thelma Gorham whose ability as a violinists has, on many occasions, been demonstrated.

Mr. Johnson, an employee at a local garage, while having a little pre-Xmas fun missed his foot brake and his big Marmon erashed through the big windows of the Golden West Hotel. This helps employ more carpenters. For some reason unknown to the reporter there seems to be an unusually large number of colored folk in the city at the present time. The cotton crop is about over with very little construction work in sight. It looks like a big job for the charitable institutions. Many of the new comers are from Texas and Oklahoma.

FEUTNARDO, Prop. Page--Eighteen THREE TEAMS IN NASHVILLE WHITE SC BRIGHT 1931 OUT-LOOK WITH LADIES FREE Ending the first half of the Winter League Baseball race at White Sox Park some great games have been played with Tom Wilson's star Nashville Giants opposing M. G. M., Pasadena, and Pirrone's All-Stars in the original Winter loop. Several of the colored boys have developed into home run clouters and at times had regular bat-fests as on last Saturday, Dec. 13 when Riggins Stearns and Evans all clouted base circleers. Bobo the little live wire first base man has been a joy to behold in his great first sack work, Dunn, Creay, Williams, Riddley, Palm, Cannon and in fact all the players have done good work, with Ross, Willis, Bell, and all the pitching staff doing great work on the mount. General financial depression cut the attendance so far more than anything else but with Joe Pirrone's new policy of admitting ladies free and business prospects looking better a banner 1931 season is expected.-The invitation extended by the management for use of the Park for charitable events still holds good, for churches, lodges etc., or for any one wishing to stage a benefit for the unemployed. With the attendance increasing each week, officials of the White Sox ball park, Thrity-eight street and Compton avenue, will continue to stager double headers every Sunday afternoon which involve three teams. Sunday's schedule finds Joe Pirrone's All-Stars playing the Nashville Giants in the first game of the twelf bill, starting at 1:15 o'clock. For the second contest a new entry makes its appearance, when the La Jalscience Mexican nine meets the colored outfit. Tony Galindo, captain and heavy hitting outfielder of the El Paso squad and Al Abarte, second baseman of the Mexican nine, have been signed by Pirrone to play on while All-Stars Galindo and Abarte belong to the El Paso outfielder, but were left here while the club is invading Mexico. The Giants also play the Pirrone nine Saturday afternoon at the Sox orchard. This game begins at 2:15 o'clock. Women are admitted free to all games.

TOWN TALKING ABOUT BILO AND ASHES AT FLORENCE MILLS THEATRE Tennis Association Tennis, long a game among the select, was played by individuals, and later by a few clubs organized for the purpose. As* the popularity of the game increased, and greater numbers participated, many small tournaments were held. The increased interest tended to focus attention on the possibilities of greater organization, and with the success of the New York Tenis Association as an example, an effort was made to form a National body. A call was sent out by the tennis leaders of Washington and Baltimore, such as Dr. H. S. McCard, Dr. Wm. H. Wright, Dr. B. M. Rhetta, and Ralph V. Cook of Baltimore, and the following from the Capitol City—Dr. Henry Freeman, John F. N. Wilkinson, Tally Holmes and others, to meet and discuss ways and means for National organization. The result was the foundation of the American Tennis Association on November 30, 1916, in Washington, D. C. TOWN TALKING ABOUT FLORENCE MIL Popularity pitted against pre-Holiday shopping and general scarcity of mone yhas proven that Bilo is not only she world's funniest comedian but that he is also the most popular. For following a stupendous opening last week, crowds have come every night to see and hear the famous team of Bilo and Ashes and company. Jimmy Marshall, stage manager, Charles Ray, Eva Metcalf, and Alma Travers the reincarnation of Florence Mills, have with the pretty fast dancing chorus of Sunkist beauties all week in Sepia Vagabonds entertained the public. This rollicking tale is full of laughs, music, singing and dancin from start to finish, with yet a chance: Friday, Saturday and Sunday to see it before Milton Sills' New Movie C Remembered For His Work In Star Returns In Picturiza "Sea Wolf," Under S Sea stories seem to have had a special influence, with Milton Sills. His first big success was made in "The Sea Hawk." Which definitely established him as one of the foremost players on the screen. And now, in the Fox Movietone talking version of Jack London's stirring novel of marine adventure "The Sea Wolf," he scores what many critics are acclaims, as his finest picture role. "The Sea Wolf" which makes its bow to local audiences at the Tivoli Theatre next Sun, Mon, and Tuesday introduces a unique triangle in the persons of a domineering brute of a schooner captain, a young waster who is shanghaied aboard as the vessel is leaving a Japanese fishing port, and a mysterious girl who goes along in a Quixotic desire to help the youngster. The drama that ensues as the three are cooped up on the schooner during her long cruise to the Aleutian sealing grounds is said to be the most breathless of any talkie of recent months, and various fights in Sills' best style enliven the action. Jane Keith and Raymond Hackett have featured roles with Sills, while Mitchell Harris, Nat Penelope, John Rogers, Sam Allen and Harry Tenbrook are cast in important supporting parts.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Dec. 21, 22, 23 WITH MILTON SILLS THE SEA WOLF VAUDEVILLE SUNDAY It looks like the Commercial Club will be added to the Giant list of victories when the two clubs meet Sunday in a double header at Wrigley Field. Nine games straight—if that isn't a record to be proud of them we miss our guess. And a record set against the strongest competition the winter league has ever seen. Kelley Kars fell 'Sunday to the tune of two James. The week preceding Shell Oil took the bumps. Of course the Giants have the first half of the race cinched and Sundays games will end it. The first game, last Sunday, was fairly close, the Giants wining 6 to 3 after staging a three run rally in the seventh inning to break a tie. Ballieu's wildness kept him in trouble during this game. But the second game was never in doubt. The first three Giant battlers to face Glen Gabler, Kelley Kar pitcher, laced out home runs and before the inning was over six runs had crossed the platter. Walter Berger hit one of the longest home runs ever hit in Wrigley Field during this contest. It seems as though Allen and Wells are out to show Pacific Coast League owners and fans just how the middle of that diamond should be covered. They kept out the scintillating work started during the Shell Oil contests and all in all George Carr at first base had Friday, December 19, 1930 MUSIC S MEET COMMER- B AT WRIGLEY O SUNDAY eighteen putouts. It seemed like old times with two former favorites back in action. No one has to tell about how George Carr can play that first base sack, it is too well known. Another boy we were glad to see was Brewer. He relieved Cooper during the first game and judging by the way he tossed them over he has lost none of his old stuff. The Commercial Club has made several changes that should do them a lot of good. Mainly in obtaining Lou Koupal to pitch. "Fire brand" Brazil is still as peppy as ever and with Johnny Moore, Fuzzy Huit and Charlie Dorman should produce a lot of punch Hollerson is in good shape and will probably work one game. The main thing to be decided Sunday is can the Commercial Club stop the sensational winning streak of the Giants? This winter has been the first opportunity regular coast league fans have had to see a real colored baseball club in action and every Sunday sees an increase in their attendance. Last Sunday several of them visited the Kelley Kar bench and wanted to know when the dickens some one was going to stop those Giants. The first game Sunday will be called at 1:30 and ladies, of course, are admitted free.

Any Negro unless he is a Jackass and a deliberate fool knows, that with all of the hell that Negroes catch he has a right to talk about it and’ to act too. Everything the Negro has gotten he has received it because he had courage to fight for it. No one should keep silent about lynching, mob violence, the Ku Klux Kian and other things con- fronting the Negro’all over this coun- try, even in Los Angeles,'California, for I am sure the Editor knows that there are some places still in'Los Angeles, that it is mot safe for a Negro to live. I am one Negro who believes that the Negro ought to fight, agitate and| even kill if necessary, to get his rights. My advice to Negroes is, be loyal to your friends and give your enemies hell. 1 am surprised at an intelligent ‘ditor ait a. Clty ke Los Angeles: tel- COLORED WORKERS TO SHARE INS.P. FUND TO AID UN- EMPLOYED ‘hat more than one hundred fiity colored employees of the. Southern Pacific railway &mphny would’ be cligible to share in the new employee loan plan of the company. was. the opinion expressed today by Clarence Johnson, executive secretary of local 582 of the Cooks and Waiter’s union. More than 400 colored employees, will be affected by thé plan, Johnson said. Under the provision ‘of the plan as submitted to its) employees_by | the company, men who have accumulated more than one year's seniority rights with the company who have ben laid off in the current depression period and who are in need of aid may bor- row money from the company to be paid back when their circumstances permit. The—money will be lent to them without interest.

We hope that his sojourn in Europe has greatly benefited his health. He received many honors during his stay abroad, from Kings, Princes and Potentates, all of which he richly deserves. For he is one who commands respect from men of diverse creeds and countries, the learned and ignorant, the rich and poor, for such is his power to command the respect of all. Not long before he left on his trip abroad, my wife, Mrs. C. C. Flint daughter Olivia, her husband J. Mc Farlin Ervin, baby Jana Maxine and this writer motored out to McGroarty Park to se the Prince of men, John Steven McGroarty. If there ever was a man who richly deserves to be credited with love for his fellowman, he certainly is that particular man, for he is a living exponent of Christianity as taught by the lowly Nazarene. In the unsettlish life which he lives his desire to do good for others, he has added a new concept to Modern Christianity. The Park is a place of enchantment situated in the green Verdugo Hills. But in spite of its natural beauty, this most delightful place would be comparatively unknown were it not for his characterization of men and places. Here is to be found the great stone fence, the little house in the hollow, The Man called the Wonderer, The Man with the Phonograph, The Man who plays the Flute, The Man who knows about the Saints, and many other characters all made famous by the writings of the Poet, Philosopher, and Dramatist, John Steven McGroarty, author of that wonderful and picture-sque Pageant Drama. "The Mission Play" which is shown annually in his special playhouse at San Gabriel, California, a most romantic and fascinating portrayal of the early Mission Fathers, depicting their Christian Piety and religions as they labored among natives during the Colorization and Mission era of California. One of his later dramas, "Osceola" which is based historically on the famous seven-year Seminole Indian War was being played when we arrived at the park.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened most outstanding: Abolitionists of all times—he was even greater than William Loyd Garrison, Thadois Stevens Chas, Sumner, Thomas Lovejoy, Wendell Phillips or any o the notable of his time—this brave and courageous man who possessed the indomitable will of Hannibal, gave his life in the cause of Negro freedom. In fact, the whole play pictures that part of our history as it unfolds the story of this man's heroic struggles, a continuous conflict which lasted for many years with the slave power of the south, much of which is forgotten, little known or left out of our history, yet earnestly do we hope that this great genius John Steven McGroarty, who has proved himself greater than color prejudice, may find time in his busy life of service to mankind to write a drama. Depicting the Negro, his striving, his accomplishments, fighting his way back to eminence, Lineolin the great emancipator made the Negro free, he freed their bodies. Now it is apparent to all intelligent observers, especially those who believe in the truth as a potent factor in treasing men's minds from a false, narrow, and intolerant conception of black folks, the tha Negro must be made mentally and intellectually free. He must be made free from mental complex put upon him by those who profess to see in the Negro's mind, only what is appertent in his face, darkness there and nothing more. For I'm sure that this great man possesses all the splendid qualities of mind and soul necessary to produce such a work of art. He has a large and comprehensive soul, full of love for all mankind and free from native prejudice. He too is a great teacher of men, teaching them that intelligence should imply a sense of prejudice, and that it is unnatural that one man should hate another without cause or provocation—that color prejudice and human greatness are in no way related; that a purer vision has revealed to him a grea truth which is unseen by others. He has accomplished a work which time cannot do or efface. Then too he has made the world better, because he has served others wisely and well. Such a work should be a crowning glory to his many triumphs in literature and dramatic art. —BY CHAS, C. FLINT Meeting Great BUY N A Most Opportunity 7-Pc.

For the United States to say to the Filipinos now, after it has destroyed by military force our Republic that we had set up after having practically won our revolution against Spain, that we cannot either have independence that was promised us, nor even the right to come to our conqueror's shores, would, in my opinion, be most indefensible. I know that the American Congress will not do it. It would be like a great grant or a man holding a little fellow with one hand and striking him with the other. Immediate, absolute, and complete independence, I repeat, is the only honorable and practical solution of this question, as well as that of the others that have resulted from the action of the United States since taking forcible possession of a weaker people on the other side of the earth. That our independence be given immediately is even more important to American working men on the Pacific Coast than it is to the Filipinos themselves. I will tell you why. With every passing month the number of new arrivals of Filipinos on the Pacific Coast is going to materially increase. Take note of that prediction! The Filipinos have a right to come here as long as American sovereignty and American dollars remain in the Philippines, and the Filipinos are going to come in increasing numbers. I have no desire to deceive you on that point, or on any other. I am in intimate contact with this labor situation in California, and know far better than any of my fellow countrymen here today what I am talking about. I daily, almost hourly, rub elbows with the Filipino workers on the Pacific Coast, while they scarcely see one. There will continue to be a Filipino no labor problem in California, Oregon and Washington until you give us our independence, and right up to that happy moment. But there will be none afterwards. For I know how dearly the Filipinos in the United States love their native land, and with what ferent hopes they look forward to returning there when it is entirely free of alien rule. I assure you that if Congress will pass a law definitely granting our independence at some early date, that a very, very large proportion of the Filipinos now in this country will make it their objective to be back in their beloved homeland in time to greet the raising of the flag that means vastly more to them than anything that the United States may offer to keep them here. In conclusion, I appeal before God, before the world, and before this distinguished and honorable Committee, that in order to render justice to a weaker nation, independence first be granted to the Filipino people.

First of all, let us grant the freedom to the Filipino people, and lastly, let us bind together as a great people and as a great nation, even after the independence of the Philippines (the Pearl of the Orient Seas) has been granted by Uncle Sam, as a symbol of the dawn of realization of that sacred civilization between America and the American people, and the Philippines and the Filipino people, who fought and won together, side by side, with the Stars and Stripes during the great World War.

Japanese, Persians, Mexicans, Filipinos, Negroes, Jews, Indians, English, Germans, and other races were represented. Madame Ransom Gaylor on Chicago, was the speaker of the evening.

Twenty-five card tables were pleasingly set off by baskets of sweetpeas, the honor table having as its center of attraction a gorgeous wedding cake upon which a miniature bride and groom gracefully presided. The lovely dinner was served by Misses Nola Rembert, Esther Avery and Fay Flower. YE YOUNG SET— Here we are again "Dicky" lightened the heart and took all my despondent feelings away... Joe Skeeter, has really made a lady out of Lizzie. Congrats on the new Ford "King." Christmas finds us paying homage to our Lord and King in Christmas plays. Next Tuesday finds the "Modern Maidens" having a dandy playlet. The Delphi's proved themselves both charming and generous hostesses to their party last Friday on Cypress. Only the Delphi's and their special boy friends were present. Madelyn also enjoyed the party very much from secondhand gossip from Geneva. Anyway the Delphi all had a dandy time. And we find my dear friend Alma fixing for a surprise feed. Surprise—oh you Ruben, I can't keep a thing. Poor Carl Anderson is hurt again. We rather think Carl likes to be sick or maybe it's the sympathy he gets from the fmmes. Jimmy "Darling" Price doesn't care much for his new nickname. He says it spoils his manly dignity. Ruth Stevens has closed the love bargain and things are K. O. now. No doubt about her Christmas spirit now. Christmas vacation and the younguns really are in for some good fun. Geneva and Cora say just watch 'em. Now girls don't lose that schoolgirl complexion! a farewell party last Thursday, complimenting her brother, Homer, who is leaving the west Tuesday for New Orleans, to take up dentistry. Many guests attended the party and enjoyed a delightful evening Music was furnished by Louie Armstrong, over the Majestic radio. Appetizing refreshments were served by the hostess. Me rather thinks we have another "unholy three" in the persons of Martha Steward, Cora Collier and Geneva Stocks. This is some trio, boys! Now I'm asking in what does "G" always get left in in the big city. We understand the various sororities and frats may take up time, but dat aint all. And Miss Martha received the expensive box of flowers from a Romeo. Then we find petite Bernie Wilson playing her usual role of breaking the males' hearts. Note she was present Sunday. Hast otra uez. THE CALVARY C. M. I EPWORTH LEAGUE One of the most interesting and instructive gatherings of young people in Pasadena is the C. M. E. Epworth League with Mr. Amos Reese of Pasadena Junior College as its very efficiant president; Miss Virdie, Mae Kainbotton, the talented little 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Preston Hickanbottom as vice-president and Mrs. J. C. Proctor as advisor. In the Social Hall from 6 to 7 p. m., the "teeny weeny" Junior League is taught by Miss Ganell Attwood who is studying to be a kindergarten teacher. Visiting her class, seeing the intense interest which is exhibited by both teacher and pupils one sees in the near future a Negro girl as a member of the teaching force of Pasadena. In the main auditorium 100 or more High school young men and ladies will be led this month by Miss Emma Clark. The C. M. E. church, under the leadership of its new pastor and his talented wife, Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Seldon, is gradually making its self felt in Pasadena. A few weeks ago the officers and members led by the Senior and Junior Stewardess Boards of which Mrs. Lucy Clark and Mrs. O. Fluellen are presidents, honored their pastor and wife with a reception. A very interesting musical program, welcomes by Mr. John C. Clark on behalf of the young members of the church, and by Mr. Carl Anderson on behalf of the young people of the community and by Rev. Wm. Prince, Dr. Carter, Dobbins and Capt Gains, were sponsored by the young people's Busy Bee club. Mr. Amos Reese very fittingly introduced the Pastor whose response was so sincere that every one felt that not only the C. M. E's, but also Pasadena would be blessed by his presence. Mrs. Seldon was then introduced and she with her charming smile most graciously thanked the young people for their loyalty and pledged herself to them, to the church and to Pasadena.

WASHINGTON) How old is he? Why bring that up? Who cares? That is the way everyone felt who were present at the beautiful birthday party given in honor of Mr. Robert L. Adams on last Thursday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gray, 1473 Orange avenue. Whenever one is invited to partake of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Gray, nothing less than a wonderful time is expected and this time even surpassed expectations. The house was beautifully decorated with baskets of lovely chrysanthemums; the center piece of the dining table being especially beautiful one of red and white ones. The soft lighting effects throughout the rooms not only gave one the feeling of rest and good cheer but enhanced the wonderful loveliness of the ladies' gowns so much until one could not have been able to say whose was the loveliest. Cards were enjoyed by some while others tripped the light fantastic to the strains of sweet dance music one can always get over the radio. At a late hour a buffet supper was served, and what a supper! Did the host get his dates mixed? How did we know, for there was roast turkey with all the fixings. Then there was the birthday cake, a gem of culinary skill and made by the honoree, himself. Mr. Adams received many lovely gifts from necessities to luxuries. The following guests fit at a late hour after wishing Mr. A. Adams, many more happy birthdays: Mr. and Mrs. R. L. P. Pearl, Oakland; Mr. and Mrs. John Shee on, Mr. and Mrs. James Wilkins, Misses Thelma Gault and Esmeralda Montague; Messrs James Griffin, and A. J. Gary, all of Los Angeles; Mrs. Lena Stewart, Beverly Hills; Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Walker; Mesdames L. M. Villacorte, A. Stephens, E. H.

E. church and welcome the Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Glover, of Omaha, Nebr. Rev. Glover is a well learned musician and an ambitious young man and with co-operation of all, Long Beach will be proud of a new church building in the near future. Sunday proved to be quite a day at the A. M. E. church. The choir rendered quite a successful program. Among the feature numbers—were a duet, by the Misses H. Gwyn and E. Holman accompanied by Miss Milligan, piano, and Mr. E. Carr, saxaphone; solo, Mr. V. I. Holman; piano solo. Miss Milligan; lecture by Rev. Redd of Duarte; and several numbers by the famous Streeter's quartet of radio station KFOX. The Baptist church under the Rev. Addison is holding a big rally Sunday. All are urged to attend. The doors of this church are always open to the public. Departed from this earth on last Saturday week, our beloved friend, church sister, and Daughter Elk, Mrs. Frances Stevenson. Mrs. Stevenson had been a resident here for many years and her death took all who knew her by surprise. The Daughter Elks took complete charge of the ceremonies. A solo was beautifully sung by Mrs. C, Davis, accompanied by Miss E. Holman. Our heartfelt sympathy is bestowed moon her, husband. SOCIAL The Allen Christian Endeavor is entertaining at a Silver Tea next Sunday, Dec. 14, at the home of Miss E. Holman, 1908 Cerritos avenue from 5 to 7:30.

The public is cordially invited. The young people of Long Beach have organized a social club. A group of women met at Mrs. T. Mitchell's apartment and elected their officers: Those who will act are.

In answer to last week's question, "Why doesn't some colored boy get a position in Jeff's famous "Hash House," George Scott, an A-10 of Goosevelt High School gives his opinion. "The reason why a colored person does not get a position in the "Hash House" is, they don't stick to together" (meeting the students). When asked how he knew when he didn't go to Jent, he replied, "You don't have to go to Jeff to find that out." Just a little about George.

Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year "Prosperity Is Just Around The Corner" TITUS ALEXANDER Business Agents Division Bureau of Power and Light Glancing up into the balcony of the Olympic last Tuesday night at what was almost a solid section of colored fans, and viewing the many scattered through the ringside seats revealed that all Baby Joe Gans' friends were out in force, to see him beat Babe Anderson. And the roar that swelled up as he climbed into the ring was twice as loud as that which greeted his opponent who preceeded him. Classier, faster, more aggressive than ever, they idolized him more than before as they watched Lim prove to be the "Young Master." Cherokee Tom Cox, his manager, who had just driven through in one of the finest big cars seen hereabouts was right at the elbow of his protege. In spite of the decisive margin, Gans had his hands full with Anderson, who wouldn't stop trying. Anderson was down three times for counts of nine—twice in the third and once in the sixth. While Gans is really only a 140-pounder, he concedes nothing in the way of ability and class to Freeman CAPTAIN JAMES P.

Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 17-By A.N. P—Failure of the First National Bank of this city which in 1922 built a new 22-story home at a cost of $1,800,000 was tied up the funds of the most important colored institutions in the city. One of the principal accounts maintained there was that of Johnson C. Smith University. The bank's failure is believed due to its inability to rent more than one-third of the space in its huge new building. (By A. N. P.) New York, Dec. 16.—In the new Riverside Baptist Church, recently erected at a cost of $6,000,000, which is the pride of the Baptist faith, there are monuments and statues to the memory of every race on earth. Not only are the dead honored on the facade of the beautiful edifice, but one living man has been honored. But of chief concern to the colored people of the world is the fact that a monument or statue to the memory of Booker T. Washington, in his likeness, is a part of the huge edifice, which takes rank as one of the finest and greatest in New York City. John D. Rockefeller donated a large sum of money for the erection of the church and stipulated that it was t obe a church for all people, regardless of color or creed. This is the first time that a coloreed man has been so honored. A Merry "Xmas" and Prosperous New Year California Stock Exchange 111 W. 7th Street FABer 1411 Los Angeles Chicago, Dec. 17. (By The Associated Negro Press). Business and professional men and women, social leaders, baseball players, and devotees of the sport packed the spacious St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church here Sunday afternoon to bow at the funeral bier of and pay final tribute to Andrew "Rube" Foster, the man credited with having done more to develop and promote professional baseball among Negroes than any other human being. The cosmopolitan group, composed of members of both races, by their presence an dtheir floral tributes, showed clearly that they loved the "Rube" in death as they idolized him on the baseball diamond years ago when he was active as a player and later as he sat on the bench directing the play and strategy of his team. "Rube" Foster died Tuesday evening after an illness of some two years. The news of his death was a real shock to the community, rivalled only by perhaps by the news two years ago that in incurable disease had removed from the game one of the greatest players and strategists, as well as the most colorful figure in professional baeball a far as the group was concerned.

Tuskegee To Observe Its 50th Anniversary (By A. N. P.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 17. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, announced Tuesday that elaborate plans are being made for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the institution, which will be held in connection with the annual observance of Founder's Day on April 5th. In commenting on the selection of the date, Dr. Moton declared: "it was the opinion of the Board of Trustees and other officials of the institute, that it would be most fitting and appropriate to celebrate its fiftieth birthday on the birthday of the man who was the founder and whose life is so closely woven into the very fabric of the school." FIFTY YEARS OF GROWTH Tuskegee institute, as thousands know, was founded July 4, 1884, by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Its growth as ti plant and enrollment and influence is only paralleled by the development of the Negro group itself. From a beginning in an old dilapidated church, under the direction of Dr. Washington, the advancement of the institution was phenomenal and after a little more than a decade the institution has taken a leading place among the schools of the nation, and was the outstanding industrial school of the country. Each year found additional buildings, an increase in the enrollment and a corresponding growth in the inbuence exerted on the advancement of the Negro race by the institution and its founder. It was heralded as a new system of education, the training of the heart, the head and the hand. Educators from all sections of the country visited the institution to study the method and in a few years the "Tuskegee Method" was known of throughout th eworld, with educators from all parts of the world making pilgrimages to the institution for observation and study.

Hughes, white, Houston contractor, announced this wee kthat only white labor would be employed hereafter on a pipe line construction project his company is carrying on near Call Junction, Texas. The decision, he said, was caused by the action of a band, presumably of white men, who fired into the camp wounding one Negro and frightening a number of others. Mr. Hughes said he understood the man would recover and added that the labor situation was "rather bad" due to the fact that lumber mills there had closed down. "We're oing to give the white men the jobs all right," he added, explaining that while any daylight attack could be frustrated by his foreman, such night raids could not be coped with so easily, and it was desired to give white men preference. A warning notic ew found posted near the camp, the contractor said, and a foreman tore it down immediately when it was called to his attention. Mr. Hurmes said he had not been informed as to just what the notice said, but he assumed it was advising the Negroes to stay clear of the camp. Judge Guy F. Bush Extends Greetings M. Judge Guy F. Bush of the Municipal Court desires to extend the Season's Greetings. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. ber 1-5, a resolution on Negro hospitalization was adopted, protesting against the Discrimination in denominational hospitals, and declaring that where state law requires no separation of the races, no discrimination should be made, and that in states where the law requires th eseparation of the races it shall be the special concern of hospital boards that the sections o f fifteh hospital set aside for Negro use shall be equal in every respec to trose for members of the white race. Regarding Christian education the group declared: "We recommend that the various denominational mission boards continue to strengthen them and develop their colleges and secondary schools for Negroes in the South. The fixing of educational standards in recent years is teachers in high schools and colleges has put new emphasis on intellectual qualifications, and it is, therefore, recommended that Christian character be regarded as necessary as well as technical and intellectual training in teachers in institutions under our boards." Other resolutions adopted included a resolution urging that whenever inissions agencies meet in any city the question of equal accommodations for Negro delegates be considered; and a resolution against lynching calling on the church to arouse itself and supra the overreaction to enact laws against the practice. MOUND BAYOU SEEKS FEDERAL CO-OPERATION Mound Bayou, Miss., Dec. 17.—A committee of leading men of Mound Bayou, the all-Negro Delta town, have gone to New Orleans to seek approval of a federal intermediate credit bank formed by 650 Negro business men and farmers to assist farmers of their race.

YELLOW TAXI CAB— Those in railroad circles were shocked last week at the news of Mr. C. H. Levy being run down by a Yellow taxi cab at 3rd and Townsend streets, San Francisco, and severely injured. As reported to the Clatter, Mr. Levy was in the act of crossing the street in front of the depot when a Yellow cab with a fare for a train about to leave, dashed up and knocked down. He was taken to the hospital and given treatment and brought home on train No. 70 by H. O. Phillips, Mr. Levy is one of the old regulars who has operated on the Famous "Lark" for years.

For if I am permitted to inform you at the present time I am lying flat on my back in bed with a very high fever under the professional care of Dr. Diggs, who by the way has given me very strict orders to remain in bed until he gives me orders to get out again.

Barefield is sawing wood and getting the gravey on the Santa Fe.

TON has the MUSICAL B TON RA President, South knows today just where he will be to tomorrow, and never cares, wandered over to the Santa Fe one fine evening which, by the way, is a spot that the regulars on the S. P. side try to stay clear of and lucked upon the Chief's car for San Diego. It seems that the eastern porter leaves the car at Los Angeles and whoever happens to be around the depot at the time it arrives is elected to take it on down to San Diego on the 6 o'clock train, arriving in San Diego at 9:30 that night and returning dead-head on the Owl. Mr. Barefield, man about town, was looking things over at the Santa Fe and the car rolled in. He was pressed into service with no conductor as the car runs in charge from L. A. to S. D. He liked the arrangement so well that he asked the platform man to let him stay over there. Now it being such an unusual request for a porter to ask to stay on the Santa Fe between L. A. and S. D., he was taken at his word and has been there ever since. He does not have to make any beds down, and gets to handle the cream of the traveling public coming to the coast from the east. For my dear readers let me tell you one thing; it is only the cream that rides the Chief. Very little milk. I say very little milk. And so My Barefield, ever handy with the whisk broom and hat brush, always manages to find plenty of dust on what through passengers the porter is kind enough to leave him and by manipulating said whisk broom and hat brush in a dexterous manner extracts a portion of the profits of Wall Street transactions for his labor. He then ties his boodle up in a tobacco sack and makes his bed down for a good night's rest on the return trip of the Owl. And I ask what could be sweeter than this? I am told however, that the other night Mr. Barefield had counted his receipts for the trip and secluded them in his trusty tobacco sack, after which he skinned down for his usual good night's rest. Long after he was wrapped up in the arms of Marpleus, ENTS tion GRAPH FIELD to do this.

This of course did not set any too well on Mr. Barefield's disposition but being an old soldier he naturally obeyed orcers and worked up what is commonly known as a healthy sweat, spreading sheets. He was very much-surprised 'and elated when he found out that the gentleman who desired service at that hour in the morning was none other than the Hon. Jack Dempsey, and his party who had made his $5,000 refereeing a fight at the San Diego Coliseum that night. He was in a very liberal mood to Mr. Barefield's keen satisfaction and on his arrival I a mottled that Mr. Barefield's hand automatically reached for his whisk-broom and that brush, and that he played a fair tune upon the broad back of the Hon. Mr. Jack Dempsey and his party which enabled him to again seek the regions of his trusty tobacco bag. And still there are porters so dumb as to think that there is no money to be made on the Santa Fe.

Accosted by number 1240 and asked “where is your whis- key?” Miller became incensed and de- nied in a heated manner that he had any liquor. The officer resented the answer and told Miller that he wa: too smart and that he would teach him (Miller) how to talk to policemen. Asked by the editor if he was und- er arrest or accused of any crime, the officer answered “No” but insisted that Miller accompany him to the station Against Miller's protest he was tak fn into the police car and as the of ficers started to drive off the editor asked number 1240 what his number was. Thoroughly angered, the officer said: “Now what is the matter with you, you must have been reading the “Re- cord”. In an exchange of words Mil- ler informed the officer that he was a newspaper man and a lawyer and that he knew his own rights. The officer then delivered a lengthy diatribe in which he said, among other things, that Miller was the most ignorant man that he ever knew, that he doubted that he had got out of grade school and that he would be surprised if he had any education at all. Arriving at the station officer 1240 shouted to the desk officer, “Well, we have got another irate citizen here.” Miller was taken into the office of the station where the lieutenant in charge heard the story and discharged him. It was at that time that officer 1240 told the lieutenant that Miller had “sassed” him and he again re- peated his observation that Miller was ignorant. : ‘The officer also said that becaust the horn of the car had been blown several times that they supposed the men were drunk when they were or- dered to stop but had no reason to offer for the detention of editor when they eared their mistake except te say, that ae had been “ z Captain Hager of the station pro- misedyan investigation last Monday but no further word has ben received from him at the time of going to press. — ANNUAL REPORT: OF NAACP. REVEALS RESTRICTION FIGHT LOCAL PRESIDENT ‘AGAIN Law suits intended to test the vali- didty of various residential restriction ‘covenants occupied a great deal. of the time of the'Los Rapctes branch of the N. A. A. C. P. during the past year according to the annual report whieh was made public at the mecting of the branch at Mt. Zion church last Sun- day. Two of those suits are now in the process of appeal and a final ter- mination of the questions they pre- sent is expected soon. The association spent more than $1300 in carrying out its activities, the report revealed. The total collection and the surplus from-last year was about $1800 thus leaving the treasury in ex- cess of $400 dollars with which to be- gin the fiscal year, Notable in the fights in which’ the organization engaged last year was the attempt, to convict the cop slayer of William Teems, 17 year old school boy. of Watts, who was slain as he ran from a nickel crap game. Weyant, the layer was tink coevicied Gh mieten but he was discharged from the police force. At the time the organization al- so undertook an investigation of other police brutalities. The outlook for the present year is bright, according to Dr. H. C. Hudson, president of the local branch. AL though a smaller amount of money was collected this year than last, the head said that he expects to maintain the,work of the association in: its pre- vious efficiency. Dr. Hudson, who was clected to the presidency of the or- ganization, for the seventh time last month has also received word that he has ben re-elected to the national board of directors of the national body. He has been filling that post as a recess appointee due to the death of Neval Thomas. : “IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T » SUCCEED, —’ Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 17—By A.

DAUGHTER; CONVICTED OF PERJURY CHARGE Another chapter in the tangled story of incest, cupidity, greed and unna- tural love was writeen into the records last Tuesday when Mrs. Myrtle Gil- breath, mother of 13 year old Elizabeth Gilbreath, was sentenced to serve from one to 14 years in the San Quentin prison after her conviction of perjury im an Orange county court. The per- jury charge was preferred against the mother because she swore that her daughter was more than 16 years ol¢ for the purpose of helping the girl get @ marriage license to marry Roscoe Earl. _ Orange county authorities refused to issue the license and couple went to Las Vegas, Nevada where they were married. The marriage was arranged by the mother of teh girl after the father Heny Gilbeath, had been arrested and charged with incest with his daughter. The mother is allezed to have paid Earl a large sum of money to marry the girl who had ben blinded by acid thrown into her face by Willie Lewis who is now in jail for his crime. It is said that the threatened exposure of the incestuous relations of the fath- er and daughter caused him to procure Lewis, to: throw theaeld:ig her face.

The hearing will be resumed January 29th, Step’s evidence as to his condition was characteristic of the’ man who climbed through the medium of his drawl from an unknown to become of the most widely publicized actors in the profession. * Slumped' in his chair the funny man of the talkies drawled out answers to the referee's questions just as if he were on the movie lots. And the spectators enjoyed it, whether they were there to recover what they could from. the wreckage of Step's fortunes or as mere’ lookers on. “How much did you earn from M= G.-M., the referee snapped, Tt took Step five minutes to say "$1500." He left it right there. “A year or a month or what?” asked the judge. And-it finally turned out that Step meant a week. Step explained to the referee that everybody wanted money and that he could not resist their claims. In re- sponse to a question as to what he did with the money Step came, back with the simple explanation that he did nothing. “I had to work,” he said. “The evidence elicited the fact that Step bought two cars that went back to their owners, one Cadiliac and one “town car”. Step also told his honor that he is now driving a Ford. And it isn't paid for. ] i The question as to his bank amused the screen idol. He had no bank acy count, he said, and had never had any. “Never had enough money to open one,” Was his explanation, ’ Step’s financial troubles began with tig rise to fame, Almost immediately. he was charged with a breach of prow mise and had to settle it for a amount. He went to the east on + tour and almost before he got back Central avenue he was sued by a la whose house he had rented and er suit popped up when the fair. claimed that he had never finishi payment on the breach of settlement. e HARLEM “POLICY QUEEN” CHARGES POLICE WITH + GRAFTING ~ “New York City, Dec. 17—By AN.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE EXHAUST Once again the wheels of time have rolled up to the threshold of a New Year, concluding another milestone in things and events that go to make up a progressive world. The spirit of Yule Tide is with us, Santa Claus, still a reality in the heart and minds of millions of children, is about to pay the world his annual visit. Since last he came millions have passed, yes departed for the great beyond. Other millions have been born to fill the vacancies in a world better for having lived. The world is passing through an economic crisis. Times are a bit tight despite the opposite views expressed by business interests. However, optimism is the keynote of the day and the fact that we are here, that a Supreme Being cares for us and has suffered us to continue on our journey should be sufficient to make us happy and thankful. In this light and vein, Exhaust comes forward to say howdy and to wish every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. CONNER-JOHNSON CO.
