INVENTOR CHOSEN PRESIDENT • OF $^00^00 CORPORATION William Solder Occupies Unique Po. sition on Board of Directors in Half Million Business Concern. Boston. Mass., March 17.—One of the highest positions ever held by a colored man has been recently given to William Solder, colored inventor, by the Soldier Improved Stove com pany, when they elected him president of their J500.000 corporation. This is all the more remarkable when one considers that all of the other directors are white men, and well-to-do business men of Boston. They have backed Mr. Solder in his invention, and are doing all in their power to promote the company. This stove is one of the most re markable inventions that have ap peared for some time. Mr. Solder has perfected what hundreds of others have been working on for years— combine a cooking and hot water heater capable of using either gas or coal. This stove also does away with the large cumbersome boiler. The stove is but slightly larger in size, and no different in appearance from the common cooking range in everyone's kitchen, but is capable of heating a house of seven rooms through a sys tem of radiators.

SEGREGATION ACT CONCEDED TO BE VALID Baltimore Magistrate Informs Dele gation Who Demand Relief From “Invasion” of Colored Folk in Their Block That Such Residents Cannot Be I/awfully Excluded. fBy Associated Negro Press.) Baltimore, Md„ March 17.—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 Block, North Wolfe street. a delegation of women visited Justice Rohleder at the Northeastern police court, and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Rohleder that 3 weeks ago white people living at 933 North Wolke street moved and that after the house had been repaired the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to rent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants ap peared at the house in possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Rohleder that all of them owned their houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there was nothing that he could do to prevent the people moving in be cause the higher courts had ruled that the segregation act was no longer valid.
