The Question of Correspondents.
1nasmuch as the Daughters desire to
prevent the newspaper correspondents
who will be present during the congress
from being interfered with in their work
by members while the congress is in ses-
sion, and also in order to have them near
the officers of the society, where they may
secure all necessary information the
board yesterday discussed measures as to
how TO seat the correspondents and where
to place them. The advisability of ex-
cludtng all those correspondents from the
tables reserved for newspaper people who
cannot show proper credentials from their
papers. or who represent papers Others
than the daily press, was seriously dis
cussed and measures to that effect may
be adopted today.
II is claimed by members of the board
that IL has been their experience at the
past congresses that the women reporters
as a rule do not write up the proceedings
OF the congress as truthfully as the men
representatives OF the press, and that
they are given more to ridiculing the
Daughters and the transactions of the
society than their male colleagues.
