SECOND DAY BUSY
 FOR WOMEN'S CLUB
MORNING DEVOTED TO BUSINESS SESSIONS OF EXECUTIVE BOARD. GEORGE BoNDURANT GIVES AN ELOQUENT LECTURE.

Tuscaloosa, November 5.-(Special.)- Yesterday was the second day of the Federation of Women's clubs and 1t proved most interesting one. The entire morning was devoted to business ses- sions of the executive board, composed of the federation officers and directors of the different clubs. Among other im- portant matters considered was the nom- ination of officers and this was practi cally the election. No visitors or dele gates were admitted.
 The important feature of the afternoon session was the lecture by George Bon durant of Birmingham, who was grace fully introduced to the federation by J. Henry Fitts. He gave a most interesting as well as instructive address on 'Wo- mans Law" He spoke of the many changes that had taken place in the last fifty years and the condition of woman s rights centuries ago. He said that up to fifty years ago a husband and wife were one in the sight of law and that as the laws were made by the husbands he was the 'one:" that the woman had no more rights in law than the horse that she drove. but a wonderful change has taken place within the last fifty years and now a woman either married or single has not only as many but more rights than men, He paid q glowing tribute to wom- en and in the close was accorded rising vote of thanks. by the federation.
 After the address the reports of the different committees were heard, one by Mrs J. w. McConaughy on scholarships being especially interesting. Dr. F. M.

CUBAN TREATY IS
 CAUSING TROUBLE
Members of Congress Spring a
 New Question
MUST A BILL BE PASSED :?
It Has Been Generally Supposed That a Joint Resolution or Bill Approv-
 ing the Treaty Would Be Suf-
 ficient, But This Is Doubted.

Washington, November 5.-There were some interesting developments today as to the method of congressional procedure on the Cuban reciprocity treaty. That treaty was amended by the senate adding the words, this treaty shall not take eff feet until the same shall have been ap- proved by the congress-"
 It has been generally supposed that joint resolution or a bill approving the treaty would be all that was necessary, but members of the house, and some sem ators. take an entirely different view. They say that a bill must be passed re- ducing the duty on the products of Cuba and that every provision affecting duties must be enacted in the legislation.
 Treaty Is Defective.
 Representative Tawney of Minnesota, who was leader of the republican minor ity that passed the reciprocity bill in the last congress, said today that the pro- vision requiring congressional approval, when inserted in the treaty, was known by him to be defective and open to con- stitutional objection. The treaty of 1854 with Great Britain for reciprocity with Canada, and the reciprocity treaty of 1878 with Hawaii, he added, both con- tained provision at the very beginning. stating that when suitable legislation was enacted by congress to carry out the provisions of the treaties, then the Pres ident should issue a proclamation an- nouncing the fact, and the treaty there upon should become effective. Both these treaties were followed by legislation in the form of a bill reciting the articles that were to be admitted duty-free. MT. Tawney contends that to approve the treaty by a simple resolution would be void and asserts that the sugar provision of the treaty Is nothing more than a pledge of the faith of the government that the duties on sugar shall not be changed during the life of the treaty. Any tariff bill, he contends, can abrogate this provision of the treaty, or the treaty itself.
 Committee. to Take 1t Up.
 The finance committee, which meets to- morrow, will take up the subject of the form of legislation necessary to carry the treaty into effect.
 Generally the senators believe that a simple resolution of approval will be all that is necessary, but some senators, notably Senator Teller, of Colorado, think that If approval is attempted in any such form it will raise q constitutional question. which will cause long debate in the serate.
 Senator Teller expects that the whole tariff question will be opened for dis cussion by the Cuban measure, and that it will be well into the regular session before action on the matter is taken by the senate. This afternoon Representa- lives Payne, Hemingway, Tawney and Mann conferred with MT Cannon on the form of the proposed Cuban legislation.
 Later Mir. Cannon said the matter would be determined by the ways and means committee.

Bessemer, November 5.-(Special.)- Work on the Powderly line that is being extended to Bessemer is progressing rap idly. The poles are now being put up and the trolley wires placed on them. All the grading has been completed ex- cept a small portion in South Bessemer which will be completed in few days. Most of the track has been laid and 1t IS estimated that some time between the first and fifteenth of next month cars by the Powderly route will be running to the Marvel City. This means much to Bes- semer, and is one of the many proofs that the city is making rapid strides forward

It will lessen the distance from Bessemer to Bir- mingham by about two miles and will enable the people of South Bessemer to save time in going from the Marvel City to the Magic City.
