NEW YORK, May 2.-As direct result
of the slump in International Power shares
the stock market became alternately Sc
rlously7 depressed and excited this after
noon. The stocks most affected were those

DR.. Seward Webb and his associates.
These included st. Lawrence and Adiron-
dack and Rutland Railroad preferred in
the regular Stock Exchange list, and the
following Curb" or outside securities:
Eia ckensack- NTeadows,s Dominion Securi-
ties, North American Iunl Der and Pulp
Storage preferred. These latter securities
were most adversely affected and for Il
time they literally went begging. The
brokerage house of Ofenbach & Moore
has been the recognized representative
on the Stock Exchange of most, if not all,
of the Webb properties. Early in the af-
ternoon it became known that the firm

made by other Stock Exchange firms tina t

this explanation:

COLOR LINE IN
WOMAN'S CLUB
Attempt to Bring Up the Dis
cussion Fell Flat on
Yesterday.
iBy Associated Press.)

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 2.-The
principal feature Of the club womens con-
vention is the withdrawal tonight of Mrs.
Robert j. Burdette, of California, from
the presidential race. This ilsures the
election CT Mrs. Denison Of New York, to
that once, with Mrs. Burnett's chances
for the first vice-presidency excellent.
Following the morning session, when
ar attempt made by a Massachusetts dele
gate to precipitate the color question fell
fat the club women took recess to view
the flower parade. Mrs. Low rode in a
victoria, decorated by the Friday Morn
ing Club with 5000 pink roses, and was
accompanied by Miss Jessie Fremont,
daughter of the Pathfinder.
The afternoon session was devoted TO
two minute reports of State presidents.
who told of practical work OF their fed
eratCnS. such announcements as the
establishment of the 900 free travelling
libraries in Ohio, and the opening of
twenty rest rooms for farmers wives
in Texas, precpitated so much applause
that the presiding officer asked that it
be SUPP essed in order to save time.
After two years of agitation the color
question is quiescent. Some OF the lead
ers exressed the belief that it would not
come before the convention at all. The
Massachusetts crowd is not aggressive
on the subject, and the Southern dele
cation is glad enuogh that it be left
alone
This decision has precipitated a, report
that Ellen Ruffin, of Boston, being ap-
prised of the color apathy, is sending on
a representative.
IF this is So said Mrs Anna D.
West a prominent Boston delegate.

and has nothing to do with it

Police Commissioners Return to Prac-
tice of Sitting Behind Closed Doors.
The Police Board has gone back to its
old custom of secret sessions behind
closed doors.

mention was made at that time. within
reach Of the representatives of the press
that the board proposed to meet again
last night. The second meeting was kept

leak somewhere, and announced that the
board would meet again last night. Even
after this publication there was a pecu-
liar lack OF information at he headquar-
terS of the board concerning its pur-
poses in this matter Inquiry did not re-
suit in any confirmation of the report
that a meeting would be held.
About o'clock. however. one after an
other of the members of the board began
to arrive al the City Hall. To add to
the apparent Importance of the meet
ing the three police captains. one after
another. came in. They do not usually
attend board meetings.
Then the doors We're closed and the
board went into secret session. The pub
lie was not honored with its confidence
as TO the purpose or business of the
meeting in the slightest degree The
precaution was even taken to instruct
the secretary Of the board on no account

the public. The same solemn and impress

is the case Of Mrs. Susan Lee, of Demop-

cured by taking Wine of Cardui. She
writes:

After reading the letters Of Madam Mar
liani and Mrs. Lee, the only reasonable
thing for an afflicted woman to do is to 90 to
her druggist and secure bottle Of Wine
Of Cardui and begin the treatment at once.
You can begin the treatment today in the
privacy of your home. The change for the
better will begin within week. The Wine
strengthens the weakest link first. Natur-
ally that is where an improvement would
be most noticeable.
Do not go on suffering for years like
Madam Marliani and Mrs. Lee. Those
anxious years are gone-lost when they
should have been enjoyed in health. Every
day you hesitate is lost and gives to useless
suffering another day of your life If you
need advice write The Ladies Advisory De-
partment, The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,

toms as fully as possible and free letter
of advice will be sent you. All druggists
