 Next Mceting.

washington, April l4.--Over the bit- fer protest of Miss Susan B. Anthony. the National Council of Women today adopted a resolution pledging the or xanization to cooperate with church and state to ascertain what are the chief causes which induce or lead up to divorce. Divorce, the resolution re- cites, Is known to cause most disas- trous results in the family and state.
 ..T do not consider divorce an evil by any means" asserted Miss Anthony, who was on her feet before the read ing of the resolution had been con- cluded. Tt is just as much refuge for women married to brutal mon as Canada was once a refuge from brutal masters. I will never vote for reso- lution that will cut women off from refuge from designing and brutal men"
 The Council adopted formally the anti-poIygamy resolution officially re- ported from Committee yesterday also resolution dep1oring the horrors of war in general and particularly the present war in the far East. The Council pledged itself through resolu- tion to establish and maintain kinder gartens and day nurseries for the poorer classes of colored children.
 Resolutions elso were adopted oppos. ing the indiscriminate use of the Amer ican flag and advocating on all possible occasions the adoption of the initiative afad referendum as the most effective means for securing equal rights for women, preamble to this resolution declaring that through the adoption of legislation of this character will the equal rights for women be soonest at tained.
 Contrary to the expectation the com mittee on resolutions did not give any utterance on the question of race sui eide. There had been considerable dis cussion of this matter in view of Pres ident Roosevelt's frequent references to the subject and many of the delegates had taken issue with the President Tn discussion, however, failed to crys. tallize into any formal resolution ane .ile matter was dropped.

 Certain Allegations.
 Havana, April 14.--Great excitement has been caused In political circles here over the forcible seizure this af- ternoon by six Nationalist Congress- men of papers covering fifty allega- tions of improper acts by Havana councilmen and city officials.
 The incident is the outcome of strife between members of the Moderate Party, of which President Palma and his cabinet are members, and the Ma tionalists, who control the city and the provincial government The alle- gations, which are mostly of a minor description, were made two years ago and sent by the Government to General Nunez. Governor of Havana province, for investigation and decision. Gen eraI Nunez caused the allegations to be investigated to some extent from the records. but the investigation was not completed. The matter was presented to the new and avowedly Moderate cabinet, which decided to prosecute the inquiry to conclusion and If the facts seemed to warrant it, to depose the city officials responsible for miscon- duct. It is asserted that they had been selected successors for the off, cials to be removed.
 On Wednesday General Andrade, Secretary of the Interior, directed Gcv- ernor Nunez to return his decislorS by Saturday afternoon. When the clerk from the Governors office appeared at the city hall carrying the papers. he
