eration, so the movement was lost. The Register of Mobile. was agreed upon as the Federation organ.
 Morning Session.
 The meeting of the Federation prov ed a most interesting one this morn- ing. The session was spirited, and through it there ran strain of poll tics.
 At the session of the Federation yes- terday morning, the question came up as to whether the officers of the Fed eratton and the chairmen of the stand ing committees had the right to vote upon matters which came before the meetings of the body. The subject was argued by a number of the delegates, and when the issue was put to 8 vote, it was decided that the officers of the Federation and the heads of the com mittees had the right to vote.
 This question was brought before the Federation again this morning. Again 1t was argued upon by several of the delegates, the principal speaker being Mrs. James sWeatheriv of Birmingham, who was opposed to the officers of the Federation being given the power of voting. Mrs. Weatherly spoke at some length upon the question.
 When the matter had been thoroughly gone over with. the question of wheth- CT the officers had a right to vote was again put before the meeting. After the vote was taken 1t was found that Mrs. weatherIy had carried her point and the delegates assembled had by their ballot decided that the officers of the Eeeration and the heads of the standing committees did not have a vote upon questions which would arise in meeting.
 Another question which was the cause of some feeling among few of the ladies was the office of President of the Federation. During the session a proposition was made to create new office, that of travelling organizer. The duties of the ofiice were for the in- cumbent to go over the State and or ganize new clubs. When 1t was put be- fore the Federation the question was turned down.
 The appointment of the scholarships of the Federation to the Girls Indus trial School at Motnevallo, and to the trial School at Montevallo. and to the Boys Industrial School was taken up. This work was completed this after noon. The session today was continu- ous with recess at 12 o'clock when the West End Book Club served tea in the parlors of the EIks' Home to the delegates and guests.
 The session of the Federation this morning opened at 10 o'clock with Mrs. Rhett Goode presiding. Invocation was asked by Rev. E. W. Gamble. Mrs, L. J. Haley, Recording Secretary, then read the minutes of the previous days session and after these had been ap- proved the business before the meeting was gone into.
