PLAIN MEMORIAL TO FRANKLIN
Bronze Tablet in Franklin Institute
Would Mark Invention of Stove.


Benjamin Franklin, besides doing many
good and great deeds, invented stove.
as every schoolboy knows. In fact. he
was the inventor OF stoves, as tine term
is understood today. The Franklin stove
was a portable affair placed in a fireplace.
but II was a comparatively easy task to
develop from it the heating and cooking
stoves of today, whether wood, coal or
gas is used as fuel, Because of these
facts, several prominent stove manufac-
turers and others who have profited by
Franklln's invention have agreed that
some further recognition is due to his
memory and that such recognition should
be given IN Philadelphia, where the first
stove was made.
These manufacturers and others pro-
pose to place a bronze tablet bearing a
suitable inscription in the Franklin In
stitute, and in addition they hope 10

NEGRO WOMEN INSISTENT
WILSON STOP LYNCHINGS
Committee He Refused to See Ordered
to Call Again.

A resolution instructing committee
ton OF Negro Women to continue It's eff
forts to meet President Wilson and enlist
his aid in opposing negro lynchings in
this country was adopted by that body
today. The federation is holding its 18Th
annual convention at the Allen African
Methodist Episcopal Church, 18th and
cambridge streets.
a report by this committee showed that
in May the President declined to meet
them, on the ground that he was too
busy with affairs of State. Since that
time, II Is pointed out, he has conferred
with a committee representing the Ma
tional Woman's Trade Union League on
matters pertaining to the war in Europe.
The latter body represents n compara-
lively small number of persons, 1t was
said, while the Federation of Womens 8
Clubs has 6OOO members and is appealing
on behalf of the 100000 Negroes in this
country.
1t was asserted at the meeting this
morning that 70 Negroes were lynched in
the United States last year without hav-
ing fair trial. This condition and gem
eral discrimination against the Negro,
they assert, the President could mate
rally correct, If he would.
A telegram was sent by the federation
today to Governor Brumbaugh requesting
that he refuse to honor requisition papers
for Frederick Brown, wanted for murder
in North Carolina. The appeal is made on
the ground that the man will not have n
fair trial If he is returned to that State.
The convention will be addressed this
evening by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, the
noted suffragist.
