nat Pritchard read a table indi-
eating that Mr.. Bryan a received n

In reply. Senator Simmons asserted
that the man who approached Senator

lspiracy and anti-injunction bill reported
from the judiciary committee. without
la word of debated 1t came up rather
unexpectedly under the call Of commit
tees after the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill had been disposed of.
Mr.. Littlefield. of Maine, who had fill
led a minority report on the bill and
who had intended to offer some amend
ments came in just as the bill was put
on it's passage and the vote was taken
before he understood what was going
ION.
The amendment providing the ma
Ichinery for enforcement of the personal
Itax law of the District of Columbia
passed in 1878 was placed on the depart
ment appropriation bill as a rider.
The bill was passed. The bill to pro-
wide diplomatic and consular officers

ed.
In the course of the debate on the
personal tax amendment MI. Bellamy,
lof North Carolina, said that Washing
ton was becoming the Mecca for ta2
dodgers. He said millions of dollars
worth of property outside of Washing
ton escaped taxation because the owner
lclaimed residence in Washington.

Of the C0nventfcn-The
Negro Question-Two Sensattons
Averted.

Los Angeles. Cal. May 1.-The for
mal opening of the club woman's con-
lvention his afternoon was markedly
brilliant Hundreds OF delegates and
visitors packed the Simpson auditorium
to the roof. the interior was embellished
with fifty thousand Gala lilies, and
representative American women sat on
1.-THE platform, while the usually happy
greetings were exchanged between
Ihostesses and guests.
The opening day was otherwise dis
ltinguished by two searate questions
which would have developed into SEN
Isations had they reacned the conven-
ton One of them. which got as far as
the board of directors. had TO do with
turning down a delegate from a secret
lsociety. The other. which concerned
the possible u~nseating of Mrs. Roberts.
of Salt Lake City, wife or the former
congressman from Utah. in the event
that n should try to appear as a dele
lgate. was squelched in its native state.
The first affair, which affects a ma
Itional organization Of 5000 members.
lcame up before the board of directors
lin the morning at its secret session.
Mrs. G. H. Mahon, of salt Lake City,
it seems, a keen appointed delegate
from the P. E. .. Chapter in that city,
(which a applied for admission and
she had received her credentials
but at the last minute, Mrs. Denison,
as a member os the membership com
mitee, discovered that secret societies
were not admissible and so notified the
delegates.
Today, before the board he acknowI-
lodged her error. Mrs. Mcmahon instead
lof pushing her claims, withdrew
Iamicably on two conditions. One was
that the membership committee shout
dered the mistake and she be seated in
the convention Notwithstanding a vote
was denied her. The Roberts matter
has been simmering ever since Mrs.
Roberts said she, as president of the
authors club of Salt Lake City would
be a delegate to the convention by vfr-
tue Of her office. Mrs. Roberts changed
her mind before an underlying current
lof protest came to the surface and
stayed at home. 1t is understood, how
lever, that a prominent eastern woman
mad been im~portuned by Utah women
to lead the figh: in the event Mrs. Rob-
Ierst undertook TO push her right.
In the meantime the real skeleton.
the colored question, will make away
with enough time in the course OF con-
lventiOn events.
