Medford, Mass. Nov. 2.-The Med
ford Woman's club today threw down
the gauntlet and in set OF resolutions
adopted unanimously withdrew from
the General Federation OF Women's
Clubs, giving as the reason the famous
Rufiu incident OF the Milwaukee con-

Ruffiu, colored woman, attended the
convention both as delegate from the
Massachusetts, State federation and as
president and representative OF the
New Era club OF Boston. made up Of
coIored women and one Of the organi-
zatious included in the state body.
Every club belonging to the state body
becomes. by virtue Of that membership,
part Of the general federation. II was
this fact which the executive board OF
the general federation refused to recog-
nize.

endeavor to force recognition did not
succeed before the convention closed.

strongest bone Of contention at the com.

federation reassembles next June. The
Medford clubs resolutions read:
"Whereas, The executive board Of the
General Federation OF Women's Clubs
assembled at Milwaukee IN June. 1900,
refused to receive Mrs. Josephine st. p.
Rufiin, an accredited delegate Of the
New Era club Of Boston, Of the New
England Women's association, and also
a member of the executive board OF the

reason being that che represented club

Resolved. That the Medford Wo-
mans club protests against such unjust
and illegal action and witbdrsws from
the General federation"
A copy Of this resolution will be sent
to the executive board Of the General
federation and to all the clubs of Massa-

The conduct of Croker in the last
days Of the campaign was not what
was expected of the man who never
looked vexed nor pleased. He was
cross and the lines of his face dropped
heavily. He dictated reports to the
newspapers and signed them, saying
that the republicans had given up
the fight, and he dictated the famous
advice to Tammany voters to throw
out election judges whose conduct dis
satisfied them. 1t was this advice
that brought down upon Tammany
