CHICAGO, March 2s.-Five men and three
women entered the Seventh Day Adventist
church, where an interstate Adventist con-
ference Is in session today and created such
a disturbance that they were finally beaten
and rushed from the church by almost $50
worshipers. The eight alleged dlsturbers
we're arrested and taken TO the police sta
tion. All these persons are members OF the
same religion, but Of another church.
The trouble began when one of the party
denied a statement being made by Mrs.
Anna White. a prophet" from Battle
Creek, Mich. When this man was ordered
out. It is said. his seven companions spoke
up and in a moment the church was in an
uproar. Mrs. White ordered that the dis
turbers be taken from the church. Nearly
every one in the hall arose to obey the or
der. They were led by J. z. Woodward. a
trustee Of the church. In the rush which
followed pews we're overturned, clothing
was torn. faces scratched and the church
had the appearance OF a riot.
When the police arrived the noisy ones
were bundled into the patrol wagon and
hurried to the police station. One of the
men in the party was so severely injured on
the right leg that he could scarcely walk.

coming visit to the czar has drawn atten-
tion. the Daily Messenger notes, to the
protocol governing correspondence between
the president of the republic and foreign
rulers. The writing Of letter in such
case is no simple matter. Sentences have
to be carefully considered, the exact mean

the size and quality OF the note paper are
a question of Importance The shape and
size of the seal are also decided by protocol.
The first page Of parliament letters to rul-
ing sovereigns must contain only six lines,
legibly written, and with strict attention
to punctuation. No coat f-armsinor printed
heading must appear on the paper and the
president signs himself Emile Loubet."
Strong efforts are being made in Spain to
secure President Loubets attendance at the
coronation Of King Alfonso The queen re-
gent has sent a special envoy here. but II
is rumored that serious objections have
been raised by the French government be-
cause 1t is the only republic invited. While

WASHINGTON, March 2e-As one re-
suit OF his activities in the Stone case
Mr.. Dickinson has lost his position as dip
lomatic representative to Bulgaria. When
he was in Sofia last fall he addressed some
very strong representations to the Bulgarian
minister for foreign AFFAIRS and appar-
emily he has not been forgiven, for now
information comes to the end that he is
persona non grata.
A minister or diplomatic agent cannot be
retained at place against the will Of the
country to which he is accredited, and that
is Mr.. Dickinson's position. It is very
probable, however, that our government,
as a manifestation OF its displeasure, will
refrain from sending another diplomatic
agent to Sofia, though 1t will not be thus
prevented from making any demands upon
the Bulgarian government in the matter
OF the Stone case which the inquiry now
in progress may seem to Justify. The Bull
garian government has no representative

CLUB WOMEN APPEAL TO KNOX
Ask Attorney General TO Define Le-
gaIity of Color Cues
ton.

CHICAGO, March 29.-The attorney gen.
eral Of the United States will be called
upon to determine whether the club women
can make discrimination upon race. color
or previous condition of servitude. A COM
mittee OF Chicago club women was ap-
pointed TODAY to ask Attorney General
Knox about the constitutionality OF what
the general federation proposes to do at
Los Angeles.
This committee represents the most in-
huential clubs in Chicago. Within the last
year the congress OF the United States has
granted the General Federation OF Women's
Clubs special corporation papers. This
charter provides for the organization OF
women's clubs engaged in philantrophic,
educational or charitable work or in
literary. art or music culture. There are
specific provisions against political and re-
ligious determinations. The question now
sriecs whether the clubs are .houpJ. to OBJ
serve the constitutional provision Ia regard
to race. color and previous condition OF
servitude.
Mrs. r. A. Cole OF Milwaukee is the
woman who proposed the appeal to At
torney General Knox She is of the opinion
that this will throw the whole color ques-
tion out of consideration at the Los Angeles
meeting.
The federation proposes to reorganize, she
says. and in doing so, must remember that
1t will have to consult congress- which
granted the charter in the present form.
That would at once raise the question, she
believes. whether clubs would have the
right under the constitution to authorize a
national federation should it recognize race
and color.
