of the indictment of G. w. Miller, lieu

MRS. BURDETTE OUT.
She WithdraWs From Contest
For Presidency of Federation.

Los Angeles. Cal. May S.-The politi-
cal feature of the club women's eonven-
ton is the withdrawal Of Mrs. Robert
J. Burdette of California from the presi-
Dental race. This assures the election of
Mrs. Dennison of New York to that office,
with Mrs. Burdette's chances for the
first vice presidency excellent Follow
ing the morning session, when an at
tempt made by a Massachusetts dele
gate to precipitate the color question fell

view the flower parade, Mrs Love rode
in a victoria decorated by the Friday
Morning club with 3, 900 pink roses, ac-
companied by Miss Lilly Fremont
daughter of the Pathfinder and attend

declarations Such announcements as
the esta bliShment- of 900 free travelling
libraries in Ohio and the opening Of
twenty rest rooms for farmers wives in
Texas precipitated so much applause
that the presiding officer asked that it
be suppressed in order to save time
A feature not down on the programme
was the attendance of Mrs. Charlotte
Ives Kirby to report for Utah. The
president of Utah was not present, and
Mrs. Kirby announced that she was to
represent her. Mrs. Elizabeth K ROyle
of Salt Lake City, honorary vice presi-
dent OF the general federal ton was sit
ting on the platform and crawled on her
knees to the presidents chair in order not
to attract the audience and begged that the
speaker be stopped for she was talking
about herself anyway instead of making
a report and the whole house was in a
litter. Mrs Kirby was allowed to pro-
coed, however, and when the two minutes
were up and she had been called down
twice she began to repeat:
Let US, then, be up and DOING when
the audience began to roar and ended
the farce.
Mrs. Royle did not hesitate to say
Mrs. Kirby was irresponsible and soon
after Utah delegate arose and said
Mrs. Kirby was not even a member of
the Utah delegation and that it de-
nounced her. Mrs. Kirby who had in the
meantime sauntered off to the press tent
to give out her speech said she had been
sent by the governor OF Utah.
Utah thinks she has had more than
her share Of troubles. inasmuch as the
rumOr is abroad that Mrs. Roberts, wife
Of the Mormon leader, has come to push
her claims as a delegate. As balm for
its injured feelings Utah wants to claim
the office of recording secretary.
