county, Tenn, and nine deputies to the
charge of contempt laid by the supreme
Court in connection with the lynching IN
Chattanooga last March of a negro named
Ed. johnson, after the court had granted
an appeal in the case. He took the posi-
ton that Johnson's case was not appearance
and that therefore the Supreme Court was
without Jurisdiction, but that If the court
had jurisdiction Shipp and his subordinates
were not guilty, as they exercised due dill
gence to prevent the lynching. Shipp was

was present.

Monday to suspend proceedings In the MS

states of Delaware and New Jersey, limit
ing the operation of the order to the first

FIGHT ON AGAINST THE OFFICIAL ORGAN
Demand Being Made that All Papers

Publishers of Bulletin Not
Inclined TO Give Up.
tFrom a stan correspondentI

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June Especial Tele-
gram.)-An all-day excursion to Mime
haha Falls, Fort Smelling and Minneapolis
was a welcome break in the eighth bien-
NAL convention of the General Federation
Of Women's Clubs and aside from the
political gossip abroad, clubs and club in
terests were left behind for the day.
An invitationt extended by some of the
Omaha women, in the name of the Social
Service club. has secured the promise of
visit to Omaha next fall from both
Owen Lovejoy and Mrs. Florence Kell of
the Consumers league. There is a strong
possibility, too that Felix Adler of the
National Child Labor committee will visit
Omaha during the winter also.
The fate of the Bulletin, published at
Boston by Mrs. May Alden Ward, second
vice president Of the General Federation
and Miss Helen Winslow, as the official
organ of the board OF directors of the Gen
eral Federation, is receiving a great deal
II attention and will be settled this week
There is strong opposition among pub
fishers of other club journals against the
General Federation recognizing any one
publication as it's oficial organ and they
are demanding that all club journals have
equal recognition At present an advance
sheet OF all communications from the
board OF directors used by the Bulletin is
issued to the daily press and such other
publications as have requested It, This
plan is generally recognized as valuable
and 1t is being urged that this be con-
tihued and that no one magazine be rec
ognized as the organ OF the board.
Mrs. May Alden Ward and Miss Louisa
B. Poppenheim Of the press committee are
favorable to continuing the Bulletin, but
Mrs. John d. Sherman, the third member
Of the committee, is strongly opposed Mrs.
Mary l. Wood OF the bureau of Informal
ton is also publisher of a club journal.
and she. 1t is said, is strongly opposing
the continuation OF the Bulletin. Consd-
ering her position in the federation, her
influence will carry considerable weight.
New York has Joined in the contest for
the presidency succeeding Mrs. Decker,
Mrs. Carpenter, ex-state president, being

have no advantage. New York will en-
deavor TO have the next biennial held at

This action at once brought on hositHities
in which Mrs. Bergman went for the in
vaders with a club sonnenberg had a
saw, which he was using on the fence.
This made a good weapon and Mrs. Berg
man was cut over the head and arms in
a way to spatter blood in all directions.
Her husband came home in the thick of
the battle and before it was over the states
attorney was in the mixup. Intense bad
feeling has resulted and the end is not
yet. In the meantime four bandaged citi-
gems are nursing their wounds and at the
same time are keeping their eyes on the
fence.
