4 Newly Elected President.

Mrs Philip N Moore is the newly elected president Of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs at the bien- nial meeting held in Boston. to serve for the next two years. She is St Louis woman and Is president of the Association of Collegiate AInmnae. q trustee of Vassar college and was one of the speakers on the great college evening of the convention of the Ma tional Woman Suffrage association. held In Baltimore, when Ira Remsen. president of Johns Hopkins university. presided.
 No speaker at the biennial of the Fedora ton of Women's Clubs in Bos- ton received such royal welcome and such signal honors as did Julia Ward Howe. fraternal delegate from the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage as seciation and life member. also pres ident of the New England Equal Suf- frage association. The great assem- blaze of 5000 women arose and cheer ed her to the echo as she entered the auditorium and again stood as she left.
 Mrs. Sarah Plant Decker In introdue- ing Mrs. Howe said she had meant at first to present her as Mrs. Howe Of Massachusetts. bat New York. Rhode Island and other states claimed her Then she thought she would introduce her as Mrs Howe of the United States. But she remembered that whenever she had been abroad in England. France. Germany or Italy the first wo- man in America about whom people asked her was Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. so she had come to the conclusion that Mrs Howe must not be limited to the United States, but must be introduced as Mrs Howe of the universe.

Supreme Court Says Oil
Man Must Return To
Texas

Washington, Oct. 2O.--In the extra
dition proceedings of H. Clay Pierce
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company Of
st. Louis VS.. Chief Creecy of the po-
lice department of that city, the su-
preme court of the United States de-
MED Pierce's motion for a re-hearing.
Pierce resisted an application for his
removal to Texas in connection with
the prosecution of his company on the
charge of violating the Texas anti
trust laws. The petition for rehear-
ing was based on a contention that
the courts decision turned upon the
the point as to whether Pierce had
taken a false oath which, it was de-
elared had not been argued before
the court.
H. Clay Pierce, chairman Of the
board of the Waters-Pierce Oil com
pany, whose court fight to prevent ex-
tradition to Texas on a charge of vio-
lating the antitrust laws of that state,
was lost in the supreme court of the
United States yesterday, is in New
York. The case against Mr.. Pierce
comes from Travis county, Texas. The
offense Of which he is accused is pun
ishable by term Of from two to five
years In the penitentiary. Judge Shep-
ard Barclay, who represents Texas in
the case, said:
"The decision leaves Mr.. Pierce with
oIt further recourse. He will have
to surrender and be taken to Texas
Or go there voluntarily to stand trial"
