MRS. FOSTER AGAIN TO THE FRONT
She Says the Saloon is a Necessity and
is Sat on.

Convention Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union resumed its sessions in

audience ofabOut 5000 persons filed the
great hall. After devotional exercises,
the following telegram was read by

"Miss Ff0neiS Willard, PreS'nt ". C. T. o.:
THE bar.room license issued TO Vice
President MOrton's hotel, the Shoreham,
in the name Of James K. Herman, mana
ger, is the only one yet issued here. All
other saloons since November are without
license. (Signed) H. B. MOULToN."
81 rejoice" said Mrs. Woodbridge, ''I
rejoice IN the fact that our Vice President
is law-abiding citizen, and l am glad to
hear that he does not run a saloon without
license"
MRS. FOSTER TO THE DEFENSE.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Of Iowa, who rep
resents the non partisan element in the w.
G. T. o., rose at this and demanded the
recognition of the Chair. She got the
floor. She said. Il wish TO ssy there is
such q thing as necessity. A man
or woman must conform to
custom and ussge. The National
W. @. T. L. now in session in annual
convention has it's headquarters al the
Palmer House The Palmer House has
BAR. 1t probably has the bar within its
walls bscause it is a necessity. The w.
@. I. U. probably has its headquarters at
q hotel where there is bar because it Is a
necessity. We must also recognize that
Vice President Morton has bar in his
grand new hotel because it was neces-
sity." At this point Mrs. Foster was in
terrupted by storm of mo"
A VERY LIVELY TIME.
A short and heated discussion ensued.
Miss Willard said Miss Foster was out Of
order, and the latter cOnluded her remarks
by saying that it was out of the province
of the w. c. T. o., to make any sugges-
tions TO the Vice President.
think l will ask the Committee on
Resolutions to prepare resolution to ex-
press the sentiments of the Convention re-
parding the saloon license taken out by
our Vice President, said Miss Willard.
THE BATTLE REoPENED.
Late this afternoon Mrs. ]. Ellen Fos-
ter, of Iowa, arose to a question of privi-
lege. 81 ask permission" said she ''to
read this telegram which have received
from Gen. Nettleton. It directly and pos
itively contradicts another telegram that
has been read here to-day. II is a very
brief telegram and l will ask to have 1t
placed on record"
Consent was granted by the Convention
and Mrs Foster read

Convention. Miss Willard's accusation
against the Vice President is without
shadow of foundation. Mr.. Morton per-
sonally denounced the canard through the
newspapers last week.
ga. r. NETTLEToN.
Mrs Foster asked to place the telegram
on record, as contradictiDg that from
Judge Moulton. Miss Willard was dis
posed 10 permit the communication to 90
on record, and said that is was a just
course to pursue, since both the gentle
men from whom kilograms had come were
very honorable and truth-telling men.
FIERY LITTLE WOMAN.
But before the necessary consent of the
convention had been asked for Mrs. Jones,
Philadelphia delegate, rose and OBJ
jected.
whoever wrote thst telegram refers to
Miss Willsrd's accussiion," she COM
menced. What mad our President 10 do
with that Telegram from Judge MOultoDP
Is it not time that our hearts should fill
with indignation, to hear our hcnozed Of |
fcer charged with falsifying? l, for one,
will not vote to permit sucn a telegram to
20 on record. 1 would like to kuOw,"
spoke Mrs. Jones, in very ironical voice,
"Sheihsr this telegram wss pTomp ed by |
somebody in this nail, or was merely the |
happy thought of that Mr.. NsttletOn."
MRS. FOSTER REPLIES AND is SAT UPON.
81 will cay" said Mrs Foster, that
I was completely surprised and delighted
to receive the telegram. In all likelihood
il was written by Gen. NettletOn upon
reading the Associated Press report Of
Miss Willard's address. And nOw that
the question is asked would like TO know
who prompted that telegram from that
Mr.. Moulton." Before this thrust could
be returned woman in the back part OF
the big hall moved to lay the whole matter
on the table. The motion was put and
carried by tremendous shout Mrs.
Foster Indignantly returned to her seat.
THE FACTS OF THE CASE.
few minutes later ex-Gov. st. John,
Of Kansas, was usheTed on the platform.
He said it was not true that license had
been Issued to Vice President Morton.
Morton furnished his hotel and rented 1t
Mr.. Herman. He had to get the consent
of the property owners on each side. Vice
President Morton was the first one to con-
sent. Those were the facts, MIR. st. John
said.
