CHICAGO, Nov AT Mondays ses-
sion Of the W. c. T. u. convention Miss
willard donated the organization the
royalty or her book, "Glimpses of Fifty
Years, amounting 10 s4701.
Miss Willard arose and quoted an ar
ticle from morning newspaper which,
in referring 10 the action taken by the
convention regarding Nice-Pre5iden
Morton's acquiescence in the establish
ment OF a saloon in his hotel az Wash
ington. accused the women of uncharita-
bleness and want OF Christian feeling in
reply she said that she based her charge
that NJ. Morton had taken out saloon
license On the Associated Press report
and on a telegram received from their
own superintendent in the District Of
Columbia. She intended no discOurtesy
10 NicePresident Morton. but she knew
he had been United States Minister 70
France, and she believed he had i'm
bibed French notions in regard to the
use OF intoxicants. She disciaimed any
intentional discOurtesy TO Mrs. Foster,
OF Iowa, and said, which was correct,
that tire matter was laid on the table by
a vote Of the convention. She did not
believe the convention intended TO do
any injustice 10 Vioe-President Morton
and was confident the truth would be
made clear before the close of the ses-
sion.
Mrs. Woodbridge read another tele-
gram from Washington which said that
liquor is sold in the Shoreham under bar
room license obtained by NicePresident
MOrton's manager, James r. keenan,.
The convention was threatened with
a genuine disturbance when Mrs
Wallace, of Indiana, came to the rescue
with motion that the whole subject be
dismissed, adding that ''inasmuch as
Mr.. Morton occupies the second position
in authority in the Government under
an administration pledged to high
license, he could not do otherwise with
out rehuking his party This was
put in the form of resolution and went
through without any opposition.
At the afternoon session ten-minute
speeches were made by Rev. DR.. Cum
mings, president of the Northwestern
University at Evanston, Rev. Arthur
Edwards, ID. D., Dr. W. G. Anderson, Of
Brooklyn, Prof Samuel T. Dickey,
chairman of the National Committee Of
the Prohibition party, and others.
The evening meeting attracted the
biggest audience of the convention and
Battery d. was packed TO the doors. The
attraction was an oratOrical contest be-
tween seven children and misses for a
handsome diamond badge. All the con-
testants have been victorious in
minor exhibitions and have won
gold and silver medals in their respect
i've States. Their names were: Daisy
Stoddard, Nebraska; Eunice Melville,
Minnesota: Ollie Hiatt. Kansas: Minnie
