FEDERATION VOTES FOR NE.Y

Decides-Rsce for Presidency.

Los Angeles, May 6.-After two
years discussion OF the admission OIL
colored women to the general fedora
tion of wonen's clubs the anti-coio1-
lists won yesterday, wnen the SIKH
convention voted overwhelmingly 10
accept what is known as the com
promise amendment agreed upon il
New York several weeks ago.
Upon the opening day OF the conven-
tion it was evident that a spirit OF
tolerance would rule. There was al
solutely no bitterness in the prelimI-
nary talk outside the convention hail.
Yesterday morning, as predicted, there
was suppressed excitement during the
consideration Of the charter. when
came up first, and when Mrs. a. o.
Granger, president of the Georgia
federation. moved that sections 2 and
CT article II. parts of the proposed
amendment be considered first,
every one knew the battle was on.
When points of order and interroga-
tion points flew thick and fast, Mrs.
Lowe retired from the chair tempol-
arily, giving Mrs. Denison an oppoI-
tunity to preside. Section 2, which
was considered and finally adopted.
reads: From a state where a club
is a member of the state federation,
it would also be eligible to the gen
eral federation, if recommended by
the executive board of the state fed
Grafton, the power of admission to re-
main as given in article II of the by
laws, as follows:"
Section 9, of article II, which will
come up today, should be given now
to help to an understanding of the
situation. It reads:
THE president shall refer all appli-
cations for membership to the commit
tee on membership appointed by the
board of directors for its action upon
the same. The action of the commit
tee on membership shall be in writ
ing. and unanimous vote OF the
In case the committee fails to agree,
the applicat tion shall be referred t.
the whole board, the written vote OF
two-thirds of which shall be necessary
to elect to membership"
The color discussion has entirely
overshadowed the presidential race
today, but at the same time re-
ports are flying fast. There seems to
be feeling that the Decker forces
are gaining ground. A Colorado wom-
an stated last night that IL states
have already stated their intention OF
voting for her. The rumor that Mrs
Denison has withdrawn was promptly
denied by her.

1t was quickly seen by the physi-

in less than a quarter OF an hour his
grace was dead. His last moments
were peaceful and without evidence of
suffering.
Besides the two brothers of the
archbishop. there were present Ia

Washington, May 6.--In vlndication
Of the Americans policy in the Philip

Philippines committee, addressed the
senate yesterday Long before he be-
gan 10 speak the galleries were
throngod with people ana the atteI J.
ance on the aoor of the senate was
unusually large. Mrs. Cowles, tne
presidents sister. was an Interested
auditor. Els review of the sltuaiion
in the islands and of the uttcrances
OF the minority in criticism OF TIE
conditions was notably interesting. lie
spoke with deep earnestness and ut
times became eloquent. Lodge warm
ly resented the imputations cast on
the president. the secretary OF war
and the arplI for the alleged crueltie5
and atrocities said to have been prac
ticed in the islands. He said every
effort had been employed by the Off
cials in authority to prevent such
crueities as had been referred to, and
measures had been taken to punish
those guilty of them. Such things,
however, were incidents of every war
and could not be prevented absolutely
He had no aefense to make Of many OF
the cases of torture which had been
noted, but the men of the American
army had been provoked almost be-
yond human endurance. He recited
scores of instances of the cruelties
and tortures practiced By the Filipino
insurgents en- American prisoners
Men had had their cars cut OIL, had
been disembowelod; had been driven
into streams, and while drowning shot
to death; had been tied to trees and
stoned to death by women and chill
dren and burned alive. Others had
been shot and boloed treacherously
while succoring the younded. In the
face of these horrible atrocities some
of the American troops had been
guilty of administering the water
cure" but the instances of this kind
were isolated and no part OF the ger
eral policy in the Philippines. He
warmly defended General Chaffee for
his conduct of military affairs In the
islands and paid a brilliant tribute to
his heroism and patriotism. AS he
concluded his defense of the American
army and the American adminlstra-
tion drew cordial applause from the
galleries. In a brief reply Rawlins
(Utah) declared that the charges
which had been made were not against
General Chaffee and the army. bur
against the senator from Massaohu-
setts Godge) and others who were re-
sponsible for the present condition in
the islands. Both the, sundry civil
