HIS SECRET REVOLUTIONARY Substitute Cheaper and has Greater Propelling Power than Gasoline Inventor British Subject. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 3.—In Churchville lives a Colored man who hopes to rival Henry Ford in cheapening transportation and by his own invention divert much of the flow of gasoline profits from Rockefeller's hoard of gold. Mythical as it may sound, he would replace gasoline with green-tinted water. And in the green tint is a powerful propelling force—unpatented and unknown, 'tis said, save to the one Churchville man. A British Subject. W. B. Tarando, 309 Sharp avenue, Churchville, is a British subject; says he came to Chattanooga seven years ago from Kingston, Jamaica, and operates a small grocery store. The only history of what he claims as his invention is his assertion that he worked up the promised substitute for gasoline in his little crude laboratory. Three cents' worth of his strange mixture is put into each gallon of water, the basic ingredient of the propelling liquid. G. W. Nixon, president of the Nixon Mining Drill company, found the Churchville inventor, and has started to help him develop what may be great possibilities in the trade. Recently Mr. Nixon told the story to a newspaper man. He admitted that it sounded incredible, so offered a demonstration. Keeps Invention Secret. Tarando was called and mixed a small quantity of the green-tinted liquid in a gallon of water. The mixture was poured into the gasoline tank of a six-cylinder Grant automobile—all traces of gasoline having been removed. Hugh Nixon took the wheel and a flying trip was made to Orchard Knob and back to the city. Fifteen and six-tenths miles were covered, and still the gauge showed that the gallon of propelling liquid was not exhausted. The automobile apparently speeded forward as though the best grade of gasoline was flowing into its multiple cylinders, but produced a different odor from its exhaust pipe. The strange, peculiar odor was entirely different from that of gasoline. ATTORNEY HAWKINS ELECTED Washington, D. C., June 3.—Attorney William L. Hawkins, formerly of Milwaukee, Wis., has been elected the general counsel for the International Hod Carriers' Association, Local No. 46.

Something To Make You Think The Pittsburgh Courier. report that after a Colored man was convicted, the southern by-standers, evidently im their own law, took the defendant from the him in the public square. Lynching has become common in this countrys sentiment as gave expression to this d We have the report that after a Colored man was convicted of murder in the proper courts, the southern by-standers, evidently impatient with the slow process of their own law, took the defendant from the custody of the Courts and burned him in the public square. This kind of lynching has become common in this country. It has grown strong on just such sentiment as gave expression to this dastardly burning in the south; but as common as it has become, and as frequently as these horrible crimes may occur, we have no hesitancy in registering our protest against the burning of a human being in the public square of any civilized town of these United States of America. It may be said that protest is useless. We say it is never useless to raise an honest protest against any unlawful act. It was protest that won the independence of this country and it will be protest that will help largely in effecting a change of the conditions now so prevalent in this country. We need not spend so much energy in describing the crimes. They are sufficiently horrible without detailed description. What we need to do is devote our energies to the creation of a healthy sentiment against such crimes, and we need not select the site of the crime as a place of beginning. A protest in Maine is as good as one in Florida. The entire country must rise up against lynching before it will be stopped. Leo Frank gave his life to the lynchers, but his life is one less to be sacrificed before the end comes. This country must stop lynching or become corrupt and fall. This country must stop lynching in the rural districts or it will spread to the cities where mobs are more easily assembled. This country must set abroad the sentiment needed to stop this uncivilized practice or be branded as uncivilized, and carry the accusation that the United States is not capable of self government.

THE SOLVENT SAVINGS BANK A Race Institution Which Has Steadily Grown in the Confidence and Esteem of the People. We promised to tell you something about the banks which our people successfully operate in Memphis. In this issue we attempt to redeem that promise. Our limited space, however, will permit us to tell you something about only one of these banks. From what we have planned to tell you, and we are very sure that it will all interest you, it looks as though we shall have to write at least two articles on the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company alone. And then there's the Fraternal Savings and Trust Company, equally interesting and worthy of commendation as a significant and potent factor in Race evolution. Banks Proclaim Progress For it must be apparent to all that in our modern commercial life banks are significant signs of progress. The demand for churches and schools appears early in the evolutionary process and progress of a people. Man's religious needs and his educational needs must be supplied. In these two particulars the Colored American has abundantly demonstrated his common aspirations with a progressive humanity. His entrance into the business and commercial world has, of necessity, been longer delayed. But even here he is rapidly developing. Business demands banks. And the race is conducting, and that successfully, banks. The Full Significance of This We want you to fully weigh the significance of this fact. It has been said that the Race has no confidence in itself or in one another. There is a good deal of truth in this indictment. And yet is there not a cause for this mistrust and distrust, which, thank God, is rapidly disappearing? It took four hundred years to eradicate the debasing influence of Egyptian bondage from one of the most virile and brilliant races the world has ever seen. A race, too, that was one in religion, one in language, one in blood. Unlike the Jewish people, our race is of mixed blood. We are not responsible for the mixture, but it is there. We are only about fifty years removed from slavery, more debasing than that of Egyptian bondage. American slavery taught espionage. The house slave was taught to spy upon the field hand and the field hand upon the house servant. The spy system anywhere breeds distrust. This has (Continued on Page 3) --- General Race News 2 ELECT BISHOPS Philadelphia, June 3.—There were thirty aspirants for the bishopric, the general conference of A. M. E. church having decided upon the election of two men to that high office The election occurred on Thursday, the fifteenth day of the twenty-fifth quadrennial conference, the balloting consuming the entire day. On the third ballot the Rev. William Wesley Beckett of South Carolina received 377 votes, the Rev. Isaac Nelson Ross of Baltimore, 312, the number necessary to elect being 306. Dr. Beckett and Dr. Ross were declared elected. The Rev. W. D. Johnson of Georgia, an unendorsed candidate, received 260 votes, while the Rev W. A. Fountain, also of Georgia, and endorsed by the conferences of that state, received 173. Bishop Becket was born in South Carolina, and except for four years in New York as missionary secretary, has lived practically all his life in that state. He is president of Allen University at Columbia, S. C., the school from which he graduated. Bishop Ross is a native of Tennessee and has pastored some of the largest churches in the denomination. He came to the conference from Ebenezer A. M. E. Church of Baltimore. The bishops-elect were ordained on Sunday with impressive ceremonies, which lasted more than three hours. Taking part in the services were Bishop B. T. Tanner (retired), Bishop Evans Tyree, Bishop Charles S. Smitn, Bishop L. J. Coppin, Bishop C. T. Shaffer, Senior Bishop B. F. Lee, Bishop H. B. Parks and Bishop J. S. Flipper. Mt. Vernon, N. Y.—Charles S. Morris, the young 16-year-old boy orator and son of the famous Dr. Charles S. Morris of Norfolk, Va., who was sent by the faculty of the Wilson Academy, Nyack, N. J., where he is the only Colored student, to Mt. Vernon high school recently to enter the preliminary oratorical contest under the auspices of the Hamilton College. Nine white students representing as many high schools sought to win the first prize, which was $20 in gold. Subject for the contest, "A Plea for Cuba." Each speaker was allotted five minutes. By the unanimous decision of the judges young Morris was given the first prize. Judges were Rev. Robert G. McGregor, Hon. H. Dorsey Spencer and Conklin Mann of New York. COURT FINDS FOR Columbus, Ohio. June 3.—The suit of Nathaniel Marable, a porter, against the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad company, went to the jury after a long argument on the part of the attorneys. The suit sought to recover $2,646.57, as difference between the wages of porter and brakeman, which he asserts that he should receive. The jury was out just an hour and returned, awarding a verdict to Marable, giving him $2,600. There are five porters who are sueing the road and Marable's case was the first one to come up.

Havana, June, 2.—The fourteenth anniversary of the independence of Cuba was enthusiastically celebrated Saturday, May 20, by the unveiling of a monument to General Maceo. A military parade in which 4,000 soldiers and sailors marched took place There was also fire works. Auto races took place on the race-tracks. Maximo Herrera, a Colored citizen, the winner of the recent Guanajay auto race, was killed in one race while driving a Stutz by a collision with a National driven by an American, Albert Guillot, who owing to the collision came in second. The Colored citizens who regard Herrera as a racial hero, sought to lynch Guilott. The rurales and police reserves were called out to protect him. EMERSON SEEKS TO BAR PICTURE FILM Washington, June 3.—Congressman Emerson of Cleveland has introduced in the House a resolution directing the District of Columbia commissioner to forbid the further display of the motion picture film, "Birth of a Nation," which for more than three weeks has been drawing capacity audiences at one of Washington's leading theatres. Emerson recently attended an exhibition of the film, which has been barred from Ohio by Governor Willis and Attorney General Turner. His resolution charges that its effect is to engender prejudice against the Race.

That we are willing to entrust our money to banks and bankers of our own race is a most significant fact and shows growing race confidence. The fact, too, that we are using banks disproves the charge that we are an improvident people. The Solvent Savings Bank The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company occupies a neat two-story brick building at 390 Beale avenue, which is the Broadway of Colored Memphis. It was founded by the late Robert R. Church, who was its first president. It opened for business June 18, 1906, with the following officers and directorate: Robert R. Church, president; M. L. Clay, first vice president; J. W. Sanford, second vice president; W. E. Mollison, third vice president. Mr. Church served as president until his death, which occurred about two years ago. He was succeeded by his son, Robert R. Church, Jr., who has recently scored such a signal victory in his election as delegate-at-large to the national republican convention and whose cut appears in this issue. The handling of his father's large estate compelled him to resign the presidency a few months ago and he was succeeded by J. W. Sanford. The present officers besides Mr. Sanford, are T. H. Hayes, first vice president; E. W. Irving, second vice-president; Bert M. Roddy, cashier; A. P. Bentley, assistant cashier. The deposits of this bank have grown from $13,374.71, which was the amount December 31st, 1906, to $168,-519.25, the amount on hand April 15, 1916. How is this for the growth of a Negro bank? Fifty years ago slaves. Today bankers! And this without the opportunity of learning the business such as others have. Haven't we every reason to be proud of the race which we belong? Ought we ever despair, despite opposition, of rising to the heights of honorable achievement in all spheres of legitimate endeavor? Next week we shall tell you something of the Christmas Savings Club Department and other interesting facts about this bank.

The Supreme Court of the United States has too long side-stepped the question of the rights of inter-state passengers. The pernicious separate coach law can by no fair interpretation of law apply to interstate pasengers and ag- itation against the application of it to interstate passengers should never cease until the Supreme Court is compelled to pass upon it. Of course, the whole principle is wrong and agitation must not cease until all such laws are wiped off the statute books. Clearly defining the status of interstate passengers will be the first step in accomplishing this. One deplorable feature of the eject- ment of these cultured people is the alleged anouncement by Major Mo- ton that they had taken Pullman res- ervations against his advice. We hope there is a mistake about this. If from motives of prudence he had given this advice privately and it haa been disregarded, there was no need for giving that fact publicity. He was under no obligation to apologize for his wife and brother. The apolo- gy is due from the other side. They were exercising their rights as free- born law-abiding American citizens. A lawless, low-browed obligarchy vio- lated and violates those rights. Major Moton, please don’t assume the attitude of an apologist. We are hoping for big things from you. We know and appreciate the difficulties of your position. Stand squarely and firmly for justice to your race. No apology is due from either Mrs. Mo- ton or yourself because as a cultured and refined woman she preferred to ride in a Pullman rather than in a “Jim Crow” car in which “equal ae- commodations” are not provided, and in which the conditions are seldom sanitary or pleasant. - We are very glad we published the full text of Judge Dyer’s decision. Many of our readers of both races have spoken in words of commenau- tion of that decision. We hope that men, fearless, justice-loving men of Judge Dyer’s type, will be raised up all over this land to fight for justice. The hour will call forth the man. A Southern judge in Florida has ‘been found who was courageous ana just enoiigh to declare unconstitution- -al the law which forbids the teaching ‘of Colored people by white people or ,white people by Colored people.

By Samuel G. Dixon, M.D., L L.D. Commissioner of Health of Penn. "Our bodies are our gardens, to which our wills are gardeners." Physical, mental and moral health depend upon self control and cultivation of this in children is of greater importance than any other single virtue. Who has not observed the disciplinary efforts of parents with a feeling that they could improve upon the methods employed and the results obtained? The casual observer usually decides that parents are more often to blame for the faults of their offspring than the children themselves. Like begets like, and the loss of self-control by the father and mother is almost certain to be reflected in the child. With children of a high strung and nervous temperment, the display of passion and the loss of self-control is to be expected. To teach a child to govern itself and control these gusts of temper is worthy of the most careful study, persistent and kind effort. To permit a child to give way to passion during the early years of it's life is apt ,when the strain of the real burdens of life are added in later years, to end in a nervous breakdown. All students of nervous diseases are aware of the possibility of the inheritance of mental defects present in the parents. No one factor is of greater aid in equipping a child to battle with hereditary tendencies of this character than it's education in self-control. It is of the greatest aid in the establisment of mental equilibrium and the maintenance of a sane pose, Knowledge, morality and a healthy, temperate physical existence are the fruit derived from the cultivation of this virtue. INTERRUPTING .Bv BURGES JOHNSON They say it's wrong to interrupt when some one talks to you, But I don't do it near so much as grown-up people do; For while I'm telling mother some important piece of news She is counting up my buttons or examining my shoes. And she ought to pay attention to my words with all her heart, All at once she says, "Come here! I very greatly fear A button's coming off your clothes, and I must fix it, dear." It's just the same with Father—he's no better, I'm afraid, I always want him to admire important things I've made. But when I start to show him, so that he will understand Where I nailed it or I sawed it, and just how I worked and planned, He'll nod his head, and say, "Indeed!" in an attentive way, And act as if he saw it, but then like as not he'll say, Just when I've got a-going, "My boy, your nose needs blowing," Which proves he doesn't hear, nor even look at what I'm showing.

Nelson, of Harrisburg, Pa., were recently united in marriage at Wilmington, Del. They enjoyed their "honeymoon" at Atlantic City. The match is regarded as a particularly fitting one and the entire country joins in mutual congratulations to the happy pair. Mrs. Nelson is an educator, writer and lecturer of nation-wide note. As Miss Alice Ruth Moore she wrote many poems of rare quality and was an inspiration to Mr. Dunbar in his day of struggle and final triumph. Not long ago she gave to the world a popular volume entitled "Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence," a standard on the subject treated and an encyclopedia for an oartor. Mr. Nelson is a state official of Pennsylvania and is prominent in the fraternal, political, commercial and social life of Harrisburg. It is expected that Mrs. Nelson will continue to be heard on the platform, which she honors and adorns. MUSIC WRITING CONTEST Woman's Clubs Offer Two Prizes for Best Folk Music Composition.

Leonard Bastin Some interesting experiments have been recently carried out to prove that the growth of gourds and pumpkins may be accelerated by artificial means. It has for some time been known that many plants greedily absorb sugar solutions, but it is only recently that the idea of feeding a growing pumpkin has been developed. The plan is carried out in the following manner. A healthy young fruit is selected for the experiment a few days after it has definitely "set". Next, a very strong sugar solution is prepared in the following way: One or more jars are taken and each of these is filled with water. Raw sugar is then stirred into the water until the liquid has absorbed all that it can take up. The sugar and water should not be boiled, as this will produce a thick mixture that will not be freely imbibed by the plant. On the other hand there is no harm in order to assist in the dissolving of the sugar if the water is slightly warmed. The next thing is to secure some pieces of cotton through which the sugar solution will pass. Actually round cotton lamp wick answers the purpose very well. It is a good plan to use not less than a couple of jars of solution for every pumpkin. These are stood one on either side of the fruit, sunk a little into the ground, so that there will not be a danger of overturning. A connection must now be made between the pumpkin and the sugar solution. Two pieces of the wick are cut, these being measured so that they reach from the stalk. of the pumpkin well down into the mixture in the jars. It is now needful to prepare the openings in the stalk so that the free ends of the wicks can be inserted into the tissue. The holes may suitably be worked out with a penknife, care being taken to avoid penetrating the stalk right through at any point. When the holes have been opened up the ends of the wicks are fitted in such a way that they are pushed well "home" into the openings. Nothing now remains save to see that the jars are well supplied with sugar solution. The contents of the jar is well stirred two or three times a day in order to prevent a large amount of sugar from settling to the bottom. The rate of growth evidenced by the pumpkin is astonishing. It will be found that the fruit grows three or four times faster than those specimens which are not fed at all. It is easy to find out the increase in weight by placing the fruit on to a pair of scales from time to time. Care must be taken to avoid injuring the stalk in any way. Within certain limits there does not seem to be any reason why pumpkins should not be grown in this manner to almost any magnitude.—Scient. Amer. The vaudeville entertainment given by Mrs. H. A. Chiles, Monday, May 27, for the benefit of the Ester Temple, of the S. of M. 1., was well attended. Mrs. Chiles wishes to thank her friends for their co-operation.

Harry Coffee, living ot 21st and Charles, the engineer at University Club, died of heart failure Sunday evening at his home.e Portugese East Africa Making Great Strides Along Educational and Religious Lines. Southern News Bureau, June 3. An editorial in the "Guardian," a secular paper published in Portugese East Africa, pays the following high tribute to Methodist missions in that section: "The Methodist Episcopal Mission epitomizes its work as the training of heart, head and hand. The districts under consideration have eleven missionaries, seventy out-stations, seventy-one native pastor-preachers, 7,895 members and adherents, three training and thirty-nine elementary day schools with 1,883 pupils, sixty-eight Sunday schools with 2,270 scholars. In addition, the mission has $30,000 worth of property, which includes a printing press, a saw mill with hydraulic turbine, and a farm of a thousand acres worked with oxen and modern machinery. Fields of waving corn appear to the natives far superior to the weeds that formerly passed as harvests. These farms are often called 'Garden of the Gods.' "But the work does not stop here. There is a printing record of a million pamphlets a year in from four to seven languages. The girls are taught laundering, sewing, needlework, housekeeping and simple rules of bygiene. "This mission work is bound to make its mark on the native of tomorrow. It seems remarkable that so much could be accomplished in what was untouched territory twenty-five years ago." TESTIMONIAL DINNER TO BERT WILLIAMS New York City, June 3.—The dinner tendered to Mr. Bert A. Williams on Saturday night, May 20, by the Citizens Club of Brooklin, was quite a notable affair, as it brought out many of Greater New York's most prominent men. The dinner was not as well attended as expected, as many places at the table were vacant. Covers were laid for at least one hundred and only about fifty were present. Nevertheless, it was a fine affair, and those who did attend spent a very enjoyable evening. COLORED TROOPS AID FRENCH AT VERDUN London, June 3.—Paris reports the Germans have thrown a new and formidable army into the attack on Verdun and that the violence of the assaults equals that of the first of March. The Germans report the capture of a whole system of trenches on the northern slope of Hill 304 and the capture of 40 unwounded officers and 1,280 men. The Germans declare that east of the Meuse the French are using colored soldiers in the fighting.

During its residence in the United States Franklin's gull is practically confined to the interior and is the only inland gull with black head and red bill. Range: Breeds in the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, and the neighboring parts of southern Canada; winters from the Gulf coast to South America. Habits and economic status: Nearly all of our gulls are coast-loving species and spend comparatively little of their time in fresh water, but Franklin's is a true inland gull. Extensive marshes bordering shallow lakes are its chosen breeding grounds, and as many such areas are being reclaimed for agricultural purposes it behooves the tillers of the soil to protect this valuable species. When undisturbed this gull becomes quite fearless and follows the plowman to gather the grubs and worms from the newly turned furrows. It lives almost exclusively upon insects, of which it consumes great quantities. Its hearty appetite is manifest from the contents of a few stomachs: A, 327 nymphs of dragonflies; B, 340 grasshoppers, 52 bugs, 3 beetles, 2 wasps, and 1 spider; C, 82 beetles, 87 bugs, 984 ants, 1 cricket, 1 grasshopper, and 2 spiders. About four-fifths of the total food is grasshoppers, a strong point in favor of this bird. Other injurious creatures eaten are billbugs, squash bugs, leaf-hoppers, click beetles (adults of wireworms), May beetles (adults of white grubs), and weevils. Franklin's gull is probably the most beneficial bird of its group. Silas Robbins has sufficiently recovered from his recent operation to be able to leave the hospital. He is now at his home on Miami street. The M. M. P. Club gave their first shirt waist ball of the season at Walsh's hall Monday evening, May 29th. All report a very enjoyable evening.
