EIopers Prom Santa Barbara Are Married and
Happy

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24.-The

Santa Barbara brought an eloping couple
from Los Alamos-Nellie Leslie, aged
16, and Raymond Cook Southern Pacific

After the steamer was well out to sea

State Federation
Of Women's Clubs

There is a very gratifying tendency
among the club women of Alabama to
enlarge the scope of the state federation,
and to alter the present constitution, SO
that something can be accomplished
along those Inns which tend towards the
uplifting Of humanity.
The constitution of the State Fedei alton
was formulated more than two years
ago, when the club movement was more
or less restricted and limited by con-
servatism, which naturally came of mex
perience. With the growth and expan-
sion of the club sentiment among the
Intellectual. progressive women of the
state, there has come a demand for a
broader and smore generous basis upon
which women can labor for somsithing
which means more for the human race
than the simple contemplation and study
of the varying literary development of
the different periods of the worlds his
tory.
As is well known to all club women
of Alabama, the s ate Federation is not
a member of the general federation, and
I'D to this time there has been we'll
grounded prejudice against this union.
This feeling is gradually lsssening and
the most active, influential club women
are rapidly being convicted to the ad-
visibility of the State Federation. The
question will probably be discussed in all
it's phases at the meeting of the Stare
Federation nsxt spring, and the various
women's clubs of Alabama will do wisely
to begin to conssdslr this matter serious
ly in order to be prepared to take an in
tellgent stand upon the question.
Alabama women can he trusted to keep
abreast of the t,msis, when any matter
of impoFt is rightly presented to them.
To be out of the general federation seems
to be equal to being out of club lifes judg-
ing from the effect it has upon the club
thought, and club sentiment of the pres

Washington, Nov I'm discussing
the sale of the Kansas Pacific railroad
on December 18th and the assertions
that the government interest in that
property have been impaired by the
sale of the Union Pacific. Attorney
General McKenna said;
1.-THE ownership of the Kansas Pa
cific is part of the committees scheme
of reorganization. The members hold
liens similar to those of the govern

except by the ownership of the road.
Besides they are owners of the first

that good. But suppose the commit
tee does not bid. Others will-the
government may.
