Isgrig Disqualified to Sit In Case of Arkansas Against Edward Walker at Little Rock, Jones Received Vote of All Lawyers in the Court. Little Rock, Ark—The selection of Scipio A. Jones, the well known attorney of this city, recently as a special municipal court judge to preside in the case of the state of Arkansas against Edward Walker, charged with a serious offense, aroused considerable interest among the legal profession and the general public throughout this city and state. Municipal Judge Fred A. Isgrig, disqualified in the case because W. A. Singfield, attorney for the defendant, had filed suit in his own behalf against Judge Isgrig, which suit still remained on the court calendar. The new municipal court law of the state requires that when a judge is disqualified to sit in a case coming be- SCIPIO A. JONES, ESQ. fore him a special judge shall be selected by members of the bar present in the court at the time when a case requiring the selection of such special judge comes to trial. When Judge Isgrig announced his disqualification in the case because of the suit which Lawyer Singfield had against him the lawyers present in the court called for the election of a special judge. Thomas Donahoe, clerk of the court, requested nominations and conducted the election according to the provisions of the new municipal court law. Attorney Sciplo A. Jones was nominated by the city attorney and voted for by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Hale and all the lawyers in attendance. This is the first instance in the history of Little Rock, if not in the whole state, in which a colored lawyer has served as a judge in a court with such high standing as the municipal court in this city. The selection of Lawyer Jones to serve as special judge in a southern court shows that there are white men in this city who will recognize a man for his character, worth and ability rather than for his color. Sciplo A. Jones of this city was admitted to the Pulaski circuit court in this state June 15, 1889. On Nov. 26, 1900, he was admitted to the supreme court of Arkansas, and on Oct. 30, 1901, he was admitted to practice in the district court of the United States for the western division of the eastern district of Arkansas, and finally, on May 29, 1905, Mr. Jones was admitted to the United States supreme court. He has been active in public affairs in both state and nation for a number of years and is a recognized leader in many thrifty organizations for the advancement of the race. He was a delegate from his state to the Republican national convention in 1908 and was given the same honor in 1912. In each instance he was regarded by his colleagues as eminently qualified to fill the position. Attorney Jones is one of the busiest men of the profession in this section of the southwest and is eminently successful not only as a lawyer, but also as a business man. He is the national attorney for the Mosaic Templars of America, one of the largest and richest secret orders in the United States. He is also attorney for the International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor; state attorney for the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias, the United Knights and Ladies of Honor and the Knights of Freedom. Lawyer Jones received a gold medal for the leading part which he took in defeating the grandfather clause in the state constitution of Arkansas. He also owns and operates a modern hotel in this city.

Secret society circles in Brooklyn are showing much interest in the coming convention of the National Order of Tents which will be held for three days at the Bethany Baptist church beginning Wednesday morning, May 12. BAPTIST WOMEN ORGANIZE. Hold "Mountain Top Meeting" at Florida Avenue Church In Washington. Washington.—One of the largest and most representative meetings of Baptist women was held at the Florida Avenue Baptist church, in this city, on Monday night, April 19. The great crowd assembled in response to a call sent out by the women, who are very active in the work of the denomination in Washington and officially connected with the Women's National Baptist convention. The meeting was presided over by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The Baptist Ministers' union, from whom the women secured indorsement before attempting to organize, turned out in full force as an expression of their interest in the effort to bring together into one grand body all of the Baptist women of this city. It was, indeed, a "mountain top" meeting. Dr. J. W. Howard read the Scripture, Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the church, offered prayer; the chorus from the National Training school sustained their reputation for sweet singing, while the sextet composed of Baptist ministers delighted the audience with two choice selections. Three of the most forceful and effective speeches to which we have listened for a long time were made by the following women: Miss Emma Hall on "How the Organization Will Help the Individual Woman," Miss Rebecca Tolliver on "How the Organization Will Help the Churches" and Miss Della Harris on "How the Organization Will Help the Baptist Institutions In This City." The women were at their best, and the great audience heard with delight their strong appeals for union, co-operation and active service. Preachers and distinguished laymen were introduced and expressed most heartily their faith in such an undertaking and pledged their co-operation. Miss Nannle H. Burroughs was elected president of the permanent organization with a corps of efficient helpers as follows: Mrs. J. Harvey Randolph, secretary; Mrs. W. H. Jernagin, treasurer; Mrs. M. S. Caver, vice president; Mrs. S. T. Pryor, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Jackson, assistant secretary. The next meeting will be held at the Mount Carmel Baptist church Monday, June 7. In the meantime plans for reaching every Baptist woman and enlisting her in the organization will be carried forward. It is predicted that this organization will become the largest and most efficient union of Christian forces in the District of Columbia. Life Amid Deathlike Stillness. Life Amid Deathlike Stillness. In the rainless interior of Australia there is a "silence of the grave." This deathlike silence has a peculiarly depressing effect. If two men are camped and one of them goes to a distant township to get provisions while the other remains behind to look after the camp, the man who is to remain says to his friend in forcible, gold fields language: "Now, Bill, don't be long away. You know what kind of a place this is to live in by yourself," or words to that effect. If his mate is away for two or three days the silence gets on the man's nerves and in the end he shouts to make a noise. And often he is afraid of the sound of his own voice.—Exchange. Sentimental Compunctions. "Can't you learn to call me Jim?" "I'm afraid I can't." "Why not? That's what all my best friends call me." "Yes, I know. But it would be so unpleasant.

GETTING IN LINE FOR BIG MEETING Supreme Lodge, With All Its Subordinate Bodies, Assured of Royal Welcome—Attorney Robert B. Barous Heads Local Fraternity—Governor and Mayor to Speak. Columbus, O.-The machinery for making ready to properly entertain the coming Knights of Pythias supreme lodge and encampment, which is to be held in this city in August, was formally set in motion the first week in April. Colored Knights of Pythias throughout the country, when they come to Columbus next August, will find that, properly speaking, the entire state of Ohio will be their host rather than this city alone. The incorporation recently under the laws of Ohio of the supreme lodge entertainment committee marked the beginning of active steps to prepare for the reception of the supreme lodge, encampment and Court of Calantha. The officers of the supreme lodge entertainment committee consist of Attorney Robert B. Barcus, president; W. H. Woods, vice president; W. H. Ferguson, corresponding secretary; John W. Harris, recording secretary; Dr. W. A. Method, treasurer, and a board of trustees including the above named, along with State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson, Robert S. Allen, Colonel Isaac Farley, Captain C. C. Caldwell, Rev. E. L. Gilliam, W. U. Jamison, Miss Ollie B. Pettiford, Miss Mae Smith, Miss Nettle Wyatt and Miss Marie Jones. It is assured that all of the seventy-four subordinate lodges throughout Ohio will contribute financially and otherwise to give visiting Knights and ladies a week of entertainment surpassing that of any other city in which the supreme lodge has ever convened. Memorial hall, a million dollar edifice and the largest and finest in the state, has already been secured in which to hold the brilliant banquet and the public entertainments which are to be a part of the week's festivities. The auditorium of the white chamber of commerce has been secured in which to hold all of the daily sessions of the supreme lodge, and Lynden hall has been secured for the daily sessions of the Court of Calantha. The governor of Ohio, the Hon. Frank B. Willis, has consented to deliver the welcome address on the part of the state, and Mayor George J. Karb has agreed to deliver the welcome address on the part of the city. Beautiful and ample grounds, centrally located on two lines of street railway and within ten minutes' ride of the heart of the city, have been secured for encampment purposes for the uniform rank. The chamber of commerce will co-operate with the entertainment committee and the colored citizens to welcome the Knights and ladies and to make their stay in Columbus very delightful. Supreme Chancellor Green of New Orleans and General R. R. Jackson of the uniform rank of Chicago have both been here and have given their approval of the plans prepared by the supreme lodge entertainment committee. State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson of Cincinnati, with other state grand officers, is giving active, constant and earnest support, and the state grand lodge as a body, which will be the host, is lending every assistance, financial and otherwise, to make this convening of the supreme lodge the greatest in its history. One of the encouraging features is the active and earnest support and cooperation given by the chamber of commerce and the white citizens generally. The committee on homes is busily engaged in listing homes that will accommodate visitors and gives the assurance that ample accommodations will be provided for the thousands of visitors expected that week. From now on until the close of the meeting of the supreme lodge the supreme lodge entertainment committee, aided by citizens without regard to color, will be in full and constant motion. The state of Ohio will aim, in the entertainment of the supreme lodge in this city, to surpass the entertainment accorded in any other city in which the supreme body has been entertained.

In a recent letter to the New York Times commending the efforts of Emmanuel Brown, founder and principal of the Street School For Manual Training, at Richmond, Ala., Amelia S. Quinton makes the following statement and appeal. She says: When Austria declared war who thought the bolt would hit Alabama? Yet the war has forced the colored people there to sell their small cotton crops for less than cost. And now what shall they do? Learn a new agriculture, move to the already overcrowded cities or starve at home? At Richmond, Ala., in a large community of both white and colored people, a colored young man had seen the helplessness of his race in such emergencies; had recognized that only education, the teaching of truck farming, general agriculture and other industries were the "remedy indispensable." He opened a school with fifteen boys and girls in a small room having one door and one window. Soon a hundred eager pupils in a larger room were making good progress in the primary branches, busy learning domestic industries and in planting in January crops that could be harvested in March, to be followed by other crops in succession that would command sale and also feed the laborers. Later his sister joined the young man for his consecrated life work for their race and others also, with barest necessities provided, came to share the enterprise, till now 300 learners under six teachers are in the school. Meantime a few friends in Boston and elsewhere gave aid, whose gifts and the constant self sacrifices of the leader and his teachers achieved a comfortable school building, and this work, inaugurated ten years ago, is now, it is believed, assured. But the people among and for whom it is are poor, very poor, and, though full of courage and devotion under new ambitions and ideals, cannot provide the much more still needed for the full equipment of the work. The school has two horses, but needs a pair of mules, cows, a kit of carpenter and blacksmith tools, a toolhouse and shop, a wagon, a liberal supply of seeds and many other helps. The white citizens near testify to the decrease of crime, the greatly improved moral tone of the vicinity and the improvement of the meager, insanitary homes of the colored people. They also recognize the benefit to the white population in gaining for them honest and intelligent laborers. The appeal of this Street School For Manual Training at Richmond, Ala., under the leadership of its originator, Emmanuel Brown, should win help enough to make it a great win in its own county and to make it a shining model for the thousand other southern counties sorely needing just such a noble institution.

EFFICIENT WORK OF URBAN LEAGUE National Organization For Bettering Conditions Among Colored People Secures Positions For Hundreds of Men in New York—City Officials and Business Men Praise Effort. New York.—The workshop for unemployed men, which has been conducted in the basement of the St. Philip's church, in this city, for the past ten weeks by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, was closed on Friday, April 16, after a very successful period of operation. The total attendance at the shop was 12,739. There were 774 different men registered at the shop, and the total expense of operating amounted to $8,430.59, the gift of the mayor's committee on unemployment. While the shop was allowed 79 cents per day per man, the per unit daily cost of the shop at St. Philip's church was 6.61 cents. This shop has received the commendation of officials of the unemployment committee and such visitors as Theodore Roosevelt, Judge Elbert Gary, City Chamberlain Bruere, Mr. Shillady, the director of the unemployment committee; Mr. George W. Perkins, Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., and Mr. L. Hollingworth Wood. In fact, it has been frequently stated at the committee's headquarters that this shop was one of the most economically run of all of the chain of workshops and that the cleanliness in the kitchen and the workroom, the behavior of the men and the character of the output were exceptionally satisfactory and praiseworthy. While the other shops used machines for rolling bandages and making the surgical dressings, the officials of the league felt that it would be more beneficial to the men if the expense of purchasing machines was omitted so that the men could receive as much in wages as possible. However, in spite of the fact that the men used their hands only for the work, the output was remarkable. These goods were boxed and shipped to hospitals operated by or for colored people in New York and other cities. The hospitals receiving contributions of surgical dressings are as follows: Lincoln hospital, Vanderbilt clinic, Roosevelt hospital, St. Mary's hospital, St. Mark's hospital, New York; Provident hospital, Chicago; Red Cross sanitarium, Louisville, Ky.; Richmond hospital, Richmond, Va.; St. Agnes' hospital, Raleigh, N. C.; Dixie hospital, Hampton institute, Hampton, Va.; John A. Andrew Memorial hospital, Tuskegee institute, Tuskegee, Ala.; hospital at Voorhees Industrial school, Denmark, S. C.; Charity hospital and East Side sanitarium, Savannah, Ga. (donated through the Savannah branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes) and the Hubbard hospital, Nashville, Tenn. Of the 774 men registered at the shop there were 156 West Indians and 605 of American birth. Of these men 50 per cent were voters. The staff of the shop consisted of Miss Louise R. Lattimer, superintendent; Mrs. C. L. Winston, supervising nurse; Alonzo DeG. Smith, clerk, and Mrs. E. A. Cummings, matron. Volunteer service was provided by the Utopia Neighborhood club and from the St. Philip's parish. When the shop closed only 250 men were employed, none being turned away. When the shop opened on Feb. 10 it rapidly increased in size until its capacity of 350 was taxed and men were turned away at the rate of from 250 to 350 per day. Approximately 525 of the men registered at the shop have secured employment. The National League on Urban Conditions has, in addition to the management of the shop, been active in securing employment for colored people in other directions during the financial depression of the winter. Since Jan. 1 more than 500 different individuals have been secured positions other than those referred to above. Fifty-two girls and women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five are being paid $3 per week for six weeks while being taught domestic science. Other classes will be formed when these girls have completed their courses. READ THE STAR-ITS NEWS No.22 POLITICS IN BALTIMORE. McMechen In Race For City Councilman In the Fourteenth Ward. MAN in the Fourteenth Ward. Baltimore--For the first time in its history this city will have three candidates to be voted upon in the municipal election, which occurs on Tuesday, May 4, when a mayor, members of the city council and other officials are to be chosen. Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who is rounding out twelve years as a member of the city council, will be a candidate for re-election. His chances of being re-elected are reasonably good, as the majority of voters in his ward are colored. In the Fifth ward William F. Allen will be a candidate for member of the first branch city council, on the Progressive ticket. He is the only Progressive candidate on the ticket, and his vote will no doubt be rather small. George W. F. McMechen will be the Republican candidate in the Fourteenth ward, having beat three white aspirants in the recent primaries. His ward has among its residents the GEORGE W. F. M'MECHEN. wealthiest Hebrews in the city, many prominent gentle whites and the best and most intelligent class of the colored people of the city. The whites are in the majority, though there are over 2,100 colored voters in the ward. Mr. McMechen's candidacy has aroused general interest, because, should he be elected, he will represent one of the most intelligent and wealthiest wards in the city. He is a native of West Virginia. He was graduated from Morgan college, this city, in 1895, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. He received his diploma in law at Yale university in 1898. For a short time Mr. McMechen practiced law at Evansville, ind., but came to this city twelve years ago and formed a law partnership with his brother-in-law, W. Ashleie Hawkins. He is regarded as an able and successful practitioner. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, a past exalted ruler of Monumental lodge of Elks and is deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Maryland. Passes Measure Against Color Line.

Both places have had serious escapades and full limit crap games. They are profiting by the political strife between the authorities, but they are due to receive their portion. Of course they can employ Franklin to protect them, but he can't hold out always. Hardin must get somebody next—or lose out. We call particular attention to the Mayor and County Att'y about these games, and if Hardin is permitted to control vice conditions, he should not have been discharged from the force. We prefer any Negro detective on the police force rather than a stool pigeon for vigilance societies and shyster lawyers. The public will benefit by the fight anyhow.

These ideas emanate from the leaders of our religious forces, who are eminently elevating large numbers of Afro-Americans by ministering to their spiritual needs. Standing as a stimulating force in this element of the race is the Rev. Dr. E.W. Moore, pastor of Zion Baptist church, this city. The constructive work of our men and women who are doing an extensive work in the uplift of humanity, whose worth and power have not been exaggerated, reveals what Christian education will do for a people. Although a native of Tennessee, yet Dr. Moore was reared in Illinois and has the distinction of being the first Negro graduate of the grammar and high schools at Dickinson, Ill. Later he studied law under an eminent judge. Still ambitions for fuller preparation before entering upon extensive activities in movements for racial advancement, he entered Chicago university, from which he graduated with honors, and then he prepared for the ministry. He has so quickened in the minds of the people the idea of right living that among the several acceptances of pas- REV. E. W. MOORE. D. D. toral calls he was called to one church without any of the officials seeing him or hearing him preach. His ability to rebuke sin and cause one to renounce his allegiance to wrong living is simply wonderful. He is gifted with power to tell the all absorbing story of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ His pastorate in Ann Arbor, Mich., for two years was of much benefit to the church and people of the community. Dr. Moore was also pastor of one of the leading Baptist churches in Denver, where he labored with such inspiring results for three years that when he offered his resignation to accept the call to his present charge the congregation refused to accept it, and the records of the church show that it has never been accepted. Ten years later this same church sent representatives from Denver with a call for Dr. Moore's return. For nineteen years Dr. Moore has pastored Zion Baptist church in this city and stands among the foremost teachers of morality, contributing to the general good of this large city. He has gained unique distinction for his church. His church was the only one among our people on the co-operating list of churches in the Sunday campaign in this city and contributed its quota of work and influence. The Sunday school of the church is thoroughly organized and well conducted. It is the only school among our people here that has won prizes at the annual Sunday school outing. It was the first school in the city to conduct during the summer a daily vacation Bible school for children. The church has a boys' hand of forty-seven. Another prominent feature of the church is the Mothers' club, which will conduct a day nursery and do settlement work this summer. Dr. Moore has served as a member of the executive board of the Philadelphia Baptist association, the oldest among the white people in this country. He is to preach the introductory sermon at the 108th anniversary of this body. He is founder and first president of the Northern Aid society; one of the founders and a director of the People's Savings bank. this city; a director of Armstrong Association For Colored People, chairman executive board Pennsylvania Baptist state convention, vice president Association For Protection of Colored Girls and Women, trustee of the National Training School For Girls and Women, member of executive committee for Pennsylvania of National Independent Equal Rights league and treasurer Constitutional league for this state. A MAN'S WORK To get good is animal, to do good is human, to be good is divine. The true use of a man's possessions is to help his work, and the best end of all his work is to show us what he is. The noblest workers of our world bequeath us nothing so great as the image of themselves.—James Martineau. COMMENCEMENT ORATOR. Dn. H. H. Hart to Speak at the Wilberforce University. President William S. Scarborough of the Wilberforce (Ga.) university has returned from Jacksonville, Fla., where he spent a few weeks for rest and recuperation, and is pretty well recovered from the effects of the fall which he had the first of the year, in which he sustained two broken ribs. Dr. Scarborough is now basically engaged with arrangements for the commencement and graduation exercises to be held at the university in June. He is in very good health. While in Florida President Scarborough visited St. Augustine and Daytona. At the latter place is located the great school for women of which Mr. Mary McLeod Bethune is president. He was the guest in Jacksonville of Mr. A. L. Lewis, one of the most prosperous men of the race in the state. Extensive plans are being made for the commencement period at Wilberforce university. Dr. H. H. Hart of the Russell Sage foundation, New York city, will be the commencement orator this year at Wilberforce university. Dr. Hart is a brother of Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard university and is a graduate of Oberlin college and of Andover Theological seminary. He is a public spirited man, a distinguished scholar and theologian and is well known throughout the country for his work in connection with the Russell Sage foundation. Other speakers for the commencement occasion are Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters college, Jacksonville. Fla.; Professor A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the A. M. E. church, Waco. Tex.; Dr. D. P. Roberts, Indianapolis, Ind., and Chaplain T. G. Steward, D. D. June 17 is commencement day. CRAP GAMES MUST GO. We have fought a long and hard campaign for the interest of Negro womanhood and especially directed our attack on the Twin City Stag Club, where young girls well known in society frequented. There was a crap game connected with that club and still remains but the women are eliminated. We received much criticism from the better element, the Federated Women's Clubs refused to aid the crusade and the clergy lent little support to our efforts. Stewart, the proprietor is in financitie straights, when he could have made money with his place, one of the best ever furnished and operated by a Negro. Shull was immune from our attack because he had no women in his place. Now that Craps has so disturbed the social unrest caused by the recent raid—we serve notice on all clubs that we have opened up a Campaign against Craps. It has become the opinion of the authorities that Craps are necessary to the club life of a Negro. The Star refuses to agree—and hopes to show to the best white people that crap games, (those run as openly as the Soo National Bank), are the destruction of our race. They are tolerated with other less demoralizing privileges granted clubs. They get their revenue from the working man and the only persons who lives as players of the game are the vagrant and vicious element—Such games are framed to run in a hole in a wall and not in a public club. They bring all elements upon equal basis and do not permit of any class distinction. It must be considered that clubs are permitted to run because they afford the conveniences for patrons denied other places. White men are not allowed to ented or play in clubs. The best crap game is the drawing card—yet people have to go to these places for other amusement and refreshment. It is a social problem of vast importance. We do not and cannot depend on the leading citizens for support. We have tried and failed. We go alone. Our olumns will not be devoted to its news or gossip, if we can secure results, we shall be proud, if not, we shall have done our duty. Clean-up-week begins soon. "Clean up craps" must never stop.

Corrothers in The Century MAN OF NEGRO ORIGIN: To the Editor of the Pioneer Press: One of your recent contributors to the Mail Bag makes "pithecanthropos erectus" the Adam of the human family. But according to such well-known authorities as Prof. Augustus H. Kean of the London university, in his "Ethnology" and "Man, Past and Present;" Prof. Gluseppi Sergel, professor of anthropology at the University of Rome, Italy, in his work on "The Mediterranean Races," and our own Prof. William Z Ripley, in his work on "Races of Europe;" Dr. Brinton, in his "Races and Peoples," as well as other scholars versed in this department of knowledge, repudiate the hypotheses postulated by the other scientists, and advocate the following pronouncements as most worthy of the consideration of the scholars learned in the science of anthropology: First—The present races of Europe are mere offshoots of a primitive race now extinct. This extinct race was an offshoot of an African or Negro race, who migrated from Africa into Europe during the glacial and preglacial period. "Homo sapiens," "homo heidelbergensis," "neanderthalensis," "loanthropos" and all other early European troglodytes had an African, therefore Negro origin. Chancellor David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford university virtually says ditto to the conclusions of Ripley, Kean. Sergi and others. And as regards the "Aryan race" of the high schoolroom, why, the science of ethnology can find no trace of its existence. The word "Aryan" means light, learning, culture, education in the arts, science and industries. It is a "linguistic" and not an ethnological term. Theosophical writers and theosophical literature claim that the Anglo-Saxon, Celt, Dane, Teuton and the inhabitants of the United States are mere "subraces" of the great "root race" which was negroid in character and color, so that the Negro is the "true ancestor of man." and man's primitive home - was somewhere in Africa.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all replied "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY-SIX inches. The orders are being sent out rapidly. Many of the churches have sent in orders for dolls that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. Defective Page Defective Page Expert Advice For the Automobile Owner Queries and Replies Covering Matters of Importance to the Man Who Runs a Car In washing a car will a mixture of gasoline and water cut the grease? If so, how should it be applied? No doubt the addition of gasoline to the water in connection with sponging the car will efficiently aid in the cutting of the grease. It would have to be applied either in a spray or sponge, as these are the only two practical methods of mixing it in such a way that it would combine closely enough to form a suitable mixture for cleaning. Kerosene is also frequently used in this manner with success. I have a car with a two speed rear axle. Whenever I go down hill or over a bump with the clutch out I hear a rattle. What is the cause of this? The rattle you mention is probably from the idle pinion on the rear axle. In this axle there are two bevel pinions constantly in mesh, and one of these is always running idle, and the particular gear which is delivering the power from the motor depends upon the position of a dog clutch. When the car goes over a rough spot with the clutch out there is a tendency for the drive shaft to revolve at an unequal rate of speed, due to the inequalities of the road, with the result that the idle pinion is alternately thrown backward and forward against the bevel gear, with which it meshes, thus making a rattle. There is always a certain amount of back lash in these gears, and the amount of noise will naturally depend upon the extent of this play. There is nothing serious about this, as the noise occurs only at rare intervals, and then is not the indication of trouble. Will you kindly tell me how to bend the gasoline and other tube lines in short arcs without the pipe flattening? Copper tubing of small diameter can be readily bent into short curves by melting rosin and pouring it into the tube. When this becomes cold it solidifies within the tube, and the tubing can be bent like a piece of solid copper. After the desired bend has been obtained the rosin can be run out by heating the tube with a blow torch. Another method sometimes used is to fill the tube with sand, but the rosin method gives the better results. Why has a rotary valve engine five or seven cylinders instead of four, six or eight? The odd number of cylinders gives a more even torque in a rotary cylinder engine. Questions of balance make an even number of cylinders preferable in the conventional type of motor. Is it possible to start the motor in a car when the self starter fails to work and the crank is missing? When the starter fails and the hand crank is not available the best method of starting the motor is to jack up one of the rear wheels so that it will turn without touching the ground. Then place the gear shift lever in high, and a few turns of the uplifted wheel will start the motor. Place the gear shift lever in neutral before letting down the jacked up wheel or you will have a runaway on your hands, or at least the motor will stall, and you will have all your work to do over again. Properly done the entire operation takes only a few moments. What are the common causes for a motor missing fire? Missing fire may be caused by an overrich or too lean mixture, by poor valve adjustment, inaccurate valve or ignition timing, leaks around the spark plugs, cylinder plugs, manifolds, etc., loose ignition wires, weak magneto magnets, water in fuel, faulty spark plugs or those with poorly adjusted electrodes, carbon deposits in the cylinders and overloading. When I throttle my car down on high gear it begins to jump and jerk as though the clutch were slipping. The clutch is all right, however. What can be the trouble? The jumping and jerking action is probably due to the motor missing fire, caused either by poor ignition or faulty carburation at low engine speeds. Mixtures may be too lean or too rich, there may be leaks in the intake manifold, or the spark plug points may be too far apart or too near together. Look at them first and see that they are spaced a thirty-second of an inch apart. Then see that your vibrators are adjusted. If the trouble is still in evidence your magneto magnets may be weak and require recharging. What is the advantage or disadvantage of the cantilever spring in regard to the three-quarter ellipso? The main advantage of the cantilever spring over the three-quarter elliptic is that it will give the same carrying capacity with the proper flexibility with considerably less weight. Another advantage lies in its slow period of vibration and the ability to eliminate rebound to a great extent. The weight of a cantilever is nearly all unsprung weight. In the disadvantages the principal one is that a stiff frame is necessary and that a roll is given to the body when the car turns a corner. STAR "ADS"—BRING RESULTS How can one tell when a magnet needs remagnetizing? When the magnets will not lift and hold about fifteen pounds they are said to be weak. Missing fire at low speeds is the result of weak magnets. When this occurs the magnets should be recharged. What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of the T head and L head types of motors? The T head motor, because its valves are located on opposite sides, allows of the use of large valves, and hence more power is obtainable than in the L head variety, other things, of course, being equal. It is usually more costly to construct than the L head type and has a more symmetrical appearance. The T head, however, is heavier and more complicated than the L head design, the latter using only one cam shaft and having the valves on one side. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the valve in the head motor? The chief advantage claimed for the valve in the head motor is that, for a given size, it has more power than an L head or T head, because of the fact that larger valves may be used and the combustion chamber given a more spherical shape. There are a number of manufacturing advantages, one of which is that the entire combustion chamber may be machined and given a high polish, thus preventing, to a great extent, the accumulation of carbon. The loss of heat through the cylinder walls of a motor depends to a great extent upon the surface of the walls, and in a properly designed valve in the head motor this wall area is small, compared with that of another type of the same size. This reduction of wall area is obtained because of the absence of valve pockets. The main disadvantage of the valve in the head motor, especially one using valve cages, is that the valve seats cannot be cooled as effectively as if the seat were a part of the casting. This is true in the cage construction, because the heat, in order to get from the valve seat to the water jacket, must overcome the resistance of the joint between the cage and the cylinder casting. This lack of cooling would not materially affect the inlet valves, as they are kept comparatively cool by the incoming gas, but it would mean more valve grinding in the case of the exhaust valves. Is it possible to maintain pressure in a rear fuel tank when the tank cap is missing? In cases of this sort take an old inner tube, cut out a piece about eight or ten inches long, tie one end tightly, so as to be air tight, then insert the tied end into the tank. Next remove the valve connection from the pump, insert the hose in the open end of the tube and pump until the tube completely fills the hole in the tank. Then tie the outer end securely. This contrivance will hold several pounds pressure in the tank and will last for some time. Is three-eighths of an inch too much play in the wrist pin bushing? Three-eighths of an inch is entirely too much play for the wrist pin bushing, assuming that up and down play is meant. There should be so little play that it cannot be felt by a movement of the wrist pin. Can I silverize glass reflectors? If so, what are the ingredients and in what proportions are they used? An amateur can silverize reflectors, but it is very difficult to make a good job of it. The method by which this work has been carried out is as follows: First fasten to a block of wood the finest possible grade of emery cloth. With this the reflector is smoothed down to a fine finish. It is next necessary to have a melting pot and a thermometer which is capable of measuring more than 212 degrees. Two ounces of lead, two ounces of tin and four ounces of chemically pure bismuth are melted together. Eight ounces of mercury are added at 212 degrees F. and mixed with the melted mixture. This is applied while warm with a smooth camel's hair brush. Which will give the better results, 80 or 74 test gasoline? As between 60 and 74 test gasoline, the 60 test fuel has been found to give the best results as far as mileage is concerned. The gasoline which we get nowadays is much heavier than that on the market, say, five or ten years ago. Can an expert gain any advantage by changing from automatic to hand control in a battery ignition system? A skilled driver might get better results with a hand control of the spark than could be obtained with the automatic type of ignition control for the reason that grade climbing can be accomplished much easier and the loads of the motor considered. In other words, the driver can shift his spark to suit road and motor conditions and thus get the highest efficiency at all times. Send Your Subscription TWIN CITY STAR RECTOR FOSBROKE SOUNDS WARNING Our People In Buffalo Advised to Co-operate. SPEAKS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Hundreds Attend Great Patriotic Meeting Under Auspices of the Christian Culture Congress and National Association—We Must Have Better Homes, St. Andrew's Minister Says. Buffalo.—What the colored people of Buffalo might do for themselves to overcome some of the prejudices or the discriminations of the white man was very forcibly expressed in the Michigan Avenue Baptist church, in this city, recently by the Rev. Houghton Fosbroke, rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal church. More than 400 men and women attended the gathering held under the auspices of the Christian Culture congress and the local branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. The program included a talk on the universal brotherhood of men of all colors by the Rev. Philip L. Frick, a talk on the Public School league by Mrs. Bryant B. Glenny, the president, the address by Mr. Fosbroke and short talks by Dr. Jacob Goldberg and Mrs. Barrell. Mrs. William H. Talbert presided. The Rev. Houghton Fosbroke, the principal speaker, in part said: It is not alone sufficient for the colored people to demand citizen rights, but they must also secure justice before the serious situation which they face can be corrected. Justice means restitution, and restitution means getting back what has been taken from them. Your forefathers were robbed of those opportunities for advancement which you enjoy and were deprived of the freedom which should have been theirs and which you now enjoy. There must no longer be the manhood of the black and the white. It is for the white man to give back what he took away from your race and to realize the enormity of the theft and the robbery. It is, then, for you to take an active interest in this society for the advancement of the colored people. The society works to correct certain evils of the white people's attitude toward the colored in disinformation, segregation and the refusal, implying that people of color are people the right to rise to constantly higher levels of advancement. That is why I say to you that not only must there be your financial support, but your moral support. This moral support of a united opinion in one direction is, as Mrs. Glenny has said of the Public School league, your duty is you are to arouse public opinion in the direction of the colored. There is need today to spread among white men a knowledge of the conditions. The white people as a nation are ignorant of what is actually going on. They are that way because they have not thought of it. They are, as I have found in long experience, no more given to thought than the average of the colored people. Whether you are a white woman, a black woman, and I am glad to say that there are more women who are thinking. Now, I want to tell you of three dangers that you are visiting on yourselves. I want to tell you what you are doing to increase segregation and discrimination. Your own self segregation has probably wrought up attempts to segregate your real homes from your own. You are segregating yourselves, for instance, in a section of this city that is the shame of the city that it exists at all. Vile houses are but a door away from you. And I regret deeply indeed to see people who are decent and clean living having their homes down there. Why are they doing this? I say to the citizens of Buffalo that you will no longer pay your share of rents to help to support that vice spot? There is a further danger. That is the segregation of culture, which is otherwise known as snobbishness. Those of you who are educated are more guilty than those who are not, and they associate with all of your race that this culture, this refinement, may be shared and thoroughly assimilated. That is the duty you owe to the others who have been less fortunate. So I charge you with snobbishness. Thirdly, there is a lack of unity among the students. There is a lack of ability to band together. There is a plan I have in mind which might be attained if there was that unity. What we need is a building suitable for public meetings, for the educations of the boys and the girls. I would like to be somewhat along the lines of the Y. M. C. It should be the property of the people. The fourth danger is the feeling of content born of discouragement. I am afraid it is true, as I have come to think from meeting people more and more, that there is in the hearts of the colored people a deep feeling of discouragement and fear of being possessed of that feeling it means an end. What we need is a great faith—a faith in God, a living God, a faith in the truth that we are all fellow human beings. Through that faith in humanity and in God we can reach the hearts of the white people. You must have faith in yourself. Boys and girls, when you have finished the day school and get to working, why do you want to work the night job? When the day's hard work is done, men why do you titer away your earnings and your time in foolishness? Why not use that time in profitable employment, advancing yourselves and others? One thought more for the boy and the girl. You have reached the age where you are thinking of marriage. Every woman of the Jews prepared herself for marriage, hoping to marry. Every man should be carried herself, hoping to be the bearer of that child who may become the savior of your race. Frequently through his talk Mr. Fosbroke was interrupted by vigorous applause. Mrs. John R. Joslyn, head of the education committee, was called on for a short talk. Mrs. Joslyn said that she did not care to outline all the program, but Mr. Fosbroke's speech was an indication of what was in store. Several in the audience then arose and suggested that copies of Mr. Fosbroke's speech be printed and circulated. That became a general wish when one of the meeting said, "That is the sort of talk which is worth study and consideration." SUITS $25.00 OVERCOATS $25.00 Cleaning Pressing Repairing CLIFFORD A.

Their Habits and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Everyday life in the Belgian Kongo was graphically described by Dr. William H. Sheppard of Louisville, Ky., at a recent Sunday evening chapel service at the Hampton (Va.) institute. Dr. Sheppard, who became some years ago a fellow of the Royal Geographical society on account of his African explorations and studies, told the Hampton workers and students about his early experiences as a missionary. In March, 1800, the son of Judge Lapsley, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassai river, known to the natives as the "river of spirits" on account of the number of people annually taken by the crocodiles. Dr. Sheppard said: When Mr. Lapestie was lying in the cane slick with the fever some natives came forward with spears and were going to attack him, but the hostile people faced the hostile people to save the life of the young southerner, who was afterward known among the natives as the king of the land, because he could find his way to the heart of the country and into the hearts of the natives. After the death of Mr. Lapsley I continued my mission work by establishing a Sunday school and bringing Christ's message to the people of the interior. The African natives who live under the cruel hand of superstition are to be baptized by the priest, witnessing the hand, the snake crossing the trail, the hooting of the owl in the jungle are all signs of some unforeseen danger. Going on a journey if there was a tree in the path a crowd went around it on the same side, not allowing it to part them. A man going on a journey, if he stubbed his toe, would never go on; he would stop and spit in the place and go back home. He would be forced to put one hand in boiling water three times. If the hand is not scalded he is considered innocent. We watched a man who had been accused plunges his arm in up to the elbow—one, two, three times. The skin began to peel off. He was cannibalized and was easily killed by the girls who had been accused came before the witch doctors. They put pepper in the girls' eyes and hold it tight with a copper wire and say, "If you are not guilty it will not burn you." I have seen a girl going around for walks with sick and swollen eyes, in the rain, and with guilty. The day of the witch doctor is passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors and teachers can help them more than the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the hearts of the natives. In the rain, the natives here describe in detail the economic and social life of the natives. In spite of the fact that his life was nearly taken because he dared to reveal the atrocities committed in the Belgian Kongo by the officers of King Leopold, Dr. Sheppard has been most willing to give all that he can afford to help the Belgians in their dire distress. Dr. Sheppard made clear that the murder of people in the Kongo, where rubber is such an important commodity, was not sanctioned by the Belgians. "The African colony known as the Belgian Kongo was the private property of King Leopold. There are many people in Belgium who knew nothing at all about King Leopold's officers cutting off the hands and ears of natives who failed to gather the quantity of rubber expected of them. "The Master has given me the heart and spirit of Hampton," said Dr. Sheppard in conclusion. "I would not hate any man." READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS A. B. A. B.

MAKING NEGRO LIVES COUNT. Prof. W. S. Dodd appeared Detore several prominent audiences in the in- terest of Hampton Institute, the oldest industrial school in America, during past week. He is soliciting funds and hopes to raise money to give scholar- ships for Negro girls and boys. Capt. Allan Washington and Mr. F. A. Whipple accompanied by a Negro quartette formed the Hampton party. with moving pictures of the school and the extension work done by stu- dents. Mr. Dodd in his remarks said, that “Hampton is a human manufac- tory taking in the crude product and turning out the finished product, keep- ing a record of where they went and what they accomplished. He spoke of Hampton Service. It has done a great service to the white race, their methods being copied in America and Africa. Your local institution Din- widdie Inst. copies Hampton methods. The Chinese government sent repre- sentatives to this country with instruc- tions to spend two days at other in- stitutions, but a week at Hampton. He told of the need of funds, there being over 12 millions of Negroes and said “it is the white man’s problem to make their lives better, and unless yout do something for them they are going to do you. Hampton puts humanity above the races. There is no invest- ment in the world that pays greater than in human life. We must help them to have better homes, better houses, to be better citizens. The quar- tette rendered several selections, such as “I couldn't hear nobody pray”, “Good Night! the Chariot’s coming” “We are walking in the Light,” “Lis'n to the Lambs” and “Old Kentucky Home.” While in the city they ap- peared at the Athletic Club, St. Marks Parish House, Westminster Church, Minnesota Federated Club rooms. ‘They did not have any engagements in Negro churches. We would like to have proper advance notices of the coming of representatives of our race, and deplore this segregation, as there are a few dollars left among our own people also a reluctance to attend white gatherings by many who love to hear the folk-lore songs and to see the advancement of their people. The quartette composed of Messrs. C. H. Tynes, 1st Tenor, J. A. Bailey, 2nd Tenor, S. E. Phillips, 1st Bass, J. H. Wainwright, 2nd Bass, is very good. ‘They are making a tour of the mid- dle west through the states of Indiana, Towa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and are en- route eastward. Conditions here do not warrant any encouragement for strangers seeking employment. The railroads, hotels, ‘ete, have a full quota of men, and there is a surplus among the laboring class. “Times are dull,” is the cry, ‘and it is hard to get employment. © se. A av . (@ mit by American Press Associats COLONEL ROOSEVELT. ROOSEVELT IS RIGHT. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt once said that he would drive out of the Repub. lican party, those who sought to cor. rupt the principles of that party. He has nearly completed the job. Mr Barnes has committed political suicide and is a sadder but wiser man. His sui has given Mr. Roosevelt a chance tc tell about “the invisible government” and to reinstate himself among hones! Republicans. He is the greatest statesman in the world today, and hi political enemies and the Wilson ad- ministration are contributors to his future greatness. We are familia with the conditions which brough about this suit, and though two lead. ing characters, Sen. Platt and Lt. Gov. Woodruff are gone—they have left records strewn, which tell why Roose- velt was shelved for the vice presi- dency—and those living bear witness that Teddy was the real Governor of New York, who respected and invited the support of a clean organization, but would not be subjected to the dictates of political leaders. The Ne- gto race is indebted to him for many appointments in high government po- sitions, and he had many loyal friends in the Progressive party. The signs of the times show unity in the Repub- fican ranks next year—and whether there will be a Progressive party is uncertain, but it is certain that the Republicans will surely adopt the Progressive principles as the main planks in their platform as the cry of the people is for clean government Mr. Roosevelt is due credit for the purification of the Republican party. The Negro had become a great suf ferer because of the corruption within its ranks. They need a Roosevelt to- day in the white house. His dinner with Dr. Washington was significant even if, as Mr. Dooley says, “the silver was counted afterwards.” Tt is a standard against race discrimina- tion and no attempt would be made te humiliate Negro employees, when the president had recognized their polit. ical equality. We are ashamed be. cause our friends, white and black suffer because of thoughtless agita tors, such as would-be leaders. The Star was and is for the things that Roosevelt stand for, and will be while there is every reason to believe that Roosevelt is right. THE NEW GOVERNOR. ‘The Editor of the Twin City Star and Attorneys Wm. R. Morris anc Brown S. Smith were asked to censor the photoplay “The New Governor.’ The Editor of the Star approved the pictures as shown at the Stran¢ Theatre in this city. Officer Thos. P Gleason, the official censor of the police department, had authority from Mayor Nye to suppress the pictures if the above committee so de. sired. Mr. Gleason is a big hearted hroad minded, unprejudiced American He would have nothing shown tc cause ilfeeling among the races. His record is too well known for com- ment. “The New Governor” was shown, and there was some com- plaints from leading Negroes. The Editor of the Star goes on record as heing chiefly responsible for its ap- pearance in this city. The other wentlemen can speak for themselves We do not care how strong the criticism here or the agitation abroad We have no apologies to make. an¢ have evidence and argument for out defense. “The Birth of a Nation” ha: heen warned not to book in this city Mr. Gleason has several clippings tc show the feelings in other localities We strongly protested against the re. mark made by late ‘Al. Smith, ther county attorriey, “that the Johnsor Jeffris ficht pictures would be stopped because they showed a “nier” beat ing a white man.” We took issue an¢ used this remark against him in. hi campaign. We respected the atfitud of Mayor Haynes, who did not wist to bring about race feeling and for that reason would not permit the pic- tures. It is denforable that so much hell is raised about pictures anyway We have some needle-pointed discrim Inators, who are prejudiced because TWIN CITY STAR they are ignorant.

This was caused by a claim that the Porters’ & Waiters’ Club was a disgrace to that section of Hennepin Ave. If it were a disgrace it would have been such in any section. We know of the desire of property owners to bring about segregation and such rot appeals to their passions and prejudices. The petition or appeal has not been suc- sessful in removing the club, but has caused the innocent to suffer. The F. Peoples Real Estate Co, Mr. J. M. Morris, and the McDew Barber Shop are affected. This was a convenient location in a white business section. Grafting agitators always overdo things. Did they need do this to “get Shull?” Did they place the weapon of prejudice in another's hands? HOW LYNCHING ENDANGERS SAFETY OF UNITED STATES Megal Taking of Human Life Only Practiced by Uncivilized Persons. by BRUCE “Cait.” Lynching ‘s defined by the lexicog. raphers as that form of lawlessness which defies the regularly constituted authorities and nullifies thelr powers to act by depriving them of the oppor tunity to do so whenever and wher ever a person has violated a written or unwritten law of those states in whic Judge Lyneh 1s supreme. Ht does not apply to all crimes, not fs it now operative in all the states of the Union. In a majority of the southern states and in eleven north ern states since the war of the rebel Yon It has assumed dangerous pro portions and become a menace rather than a protection to society. Its meth ods are too drastic and brutal and sa- vor too much of the alleged customs and practices of uncivilized and bar barous peoples to command the favor of those who love Justice and right. eousness and who necessarily hate all forms of lawlessness, of which this form is the most reprehensible and most dangerous, in that it affects the character and the moral standing ot those who tolerate or encourage tt. ‘There never was and there nevor can be, while there are courts and Judges to administer the law, a valid excuse for the lynching of any human betng. No nation, no community that excuses, condones or encourages this ‘detestable method of punishing real or ‘imaginary violations of the criminal and moral law can justly lay claim ‘to being civilized, A people are great only when they are willing and ready to yield respect, ‘obedience and homage to the laws by which they have consented to be gov- ered. When irresponsible men in the heat of passion defy these laws and become a law unto themselves, as {0 some recent lynchings by mobs, the danger to the safety of the republic fs not past. Oldest Business Enterprises Unite. ‘The Union Mutual association, with home office at Atlanta, Ga., has been combined with and absorbed by the Atlanta Mutual Insurance association, of which A. F, Herndon is president and T. K. Gibson secretary. These two companies are among the oklest and largest in the state, and the com- bined organization represents one of the strongest enterprises conducted by the race. Stalwart Friends of the Negro Race. ‘The Hon. Harry ©. Smith, editor of the Cleveland (0.) Gazette, in speaking of the great work in bebalf of Justice for the colored people, as shown by Congressman Martin B. Madden and Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, says: “Again we doff our cap to the Hon. Martin B, Madden of Chicago and Dr. Joel B. Spingarn of New York city. ‘They are fighting friends—the very Kind we so greatly need. May thetr kind increase rapidly, and more power to them.” History Story Telling Assoolation. To preserve the history of the Negro race and present it in a national and aystematic manner is the purpose of the Afro-American History Story Tell- fng association, organized quite receat- ly in Washington. THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important. Says Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womas- hood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian re- ligion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often thg foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and dis- credit religion. This misrepresenta- tion of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and rag time music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor be- comes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout for “sliding elders” and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and wom- en and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church, They sit in the front heat, chew gum, tall and keep their “gang” giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the chor- isters. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These chil- dren of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be de- livered. —The Worker. ‘The struggle for today, 1s not al- together for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln.
