MRS. FRANKLIN TELLS ABOUT
THE CLUB MEETING

Mrs. G. w. Franklin who returned
Thursday from California. where she
attended the General Federation of
Women's clubs at Los Angeles. gives
very interesting account of her trip.
1t was the sixth biennial federation,
and lasted from May 1st to Sth.
Twelve hundred delegates were pres
ent. 600 being representatives of the
various clubs throughout the country
and the remainder invited guests.
One delegate is allowed for each club
and second for every fifty members.
The Simpson auditorium, where the
principal meetings We're held. was far
too small to accommodate the crowd
and no visitors. except correspondence
men. We're admitted. The overflow
meetings were held at the Synagogue
and the Womens club rooms. The
western and middle western clubs
nominated Mrs. Decker for president.
but she declined the position and Mrs.

for her health. the honor of the presi-
dency was conferred upon her. and
she was elected for the next two
years. Mrs Robert J. Burdette of
Pasadena, Calf, was elected vice
president. The programmes of the
several days were of very interest
Ing character. One of the principal
features discussed was the admission
of the colored sisters into the club.
Two years ago, at the last general
federation. the matter came up and
made some trouble, but was not de-
cided. This year an effort was made
on the part of Massachusetts and
Georgia to arrange that the matter
should be left in the hands of the ex-
ecutive committee to admit the color
ed clubs or refuse admittance, as that
committee thought best but 1t was
voted down and the decision made not
to admit the colored clubs. Several
changes were made in the constitu-
ton during the meetings. More at
tention was paid this year than here
tofore to practical things, such as do
nestle science, etc. Jane Adams of

and lectured several times on college

CHINESE EXCLUSION TAKES THE FLOOR
Senator supports Bill on
that Government Must
Protect Its Labor against
Cheap Competition

WASHINGTON, April 5.-After passing
the Indian appropriation bill today the
senate considered the Chinese exclusion
measure for nearly three hours. The priu-
cipal speech Of the session was made by
Senator Fairbanks Of Indiana in support Of
the bill. He analysed its provisions to
demonstrate that they were not in contra
vention of our treaty with China and dis
cussed at length the right Of congress TO
enact exclusion legislation. He maintained
that It was a cardinal principle of this
government to protect its labor against
such low-priced labor as would come to
the United States from China
An extended debate upon some OF the pro-
visions OF the pending bill followed Mr..
Fairbanks speech. Mr.. Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Mr.. Platt Of Connecticut
Indicated their belief that the provisions Of
the measure relating to the exempted
classes we're in contravention OF our treaty
obligations to China Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Pen
rose and Mr.. Fairbanks combatted this
view, the supporters of the measure main
tanning that its provisions were drawn
clearly within the treaty obligations of this
country. --,- a.
