Attorney General Holds Oko- Iona Down Election to
 be void.

Through a decision of Attorney General W. F. Kirby this morn ing, the recent city election in Okolona, Clark county, is held to be void. The citizens recently held an election there, in which city officials were chosen. The election was held under the old laws in force prior to 1901, the judges being named by the city instead of the election commits sioners. After the election the judges failed to properly certify the returns to the commissioners and when demand was made of the commissioners for certificates of election, they asked when an election had been held, declaring the one the city claimed to have held to be void. An appeal was taken to Attorney-General Kirby, who sustained the commissioners.

 A STRENUOUS CONVENTION

Cincinnati. Ohio.

 During the early part of the even ing, the program was run off smooth ly and about the time the delegates were to leave for their respective places of abode, the announcement of a special meeting was made.
 President Rosenburg arose and said that she would compel the Cleveland section to reply to the report of the arbitration committee on It's expulsion. She said that before she would accept renomination. this would have to be done.
 Every woman in the meeting was on her feet at once, with something to say in favor of or against this.
 At this period Mrs. Philips uttered the exclamation given above. After much discussion during which the mat ter took on a heated aspect, 1t was fin- ally decided by a rising vote to have the Cleveland section send its ultima tum to the meeting not later than Tuesday evening at o'clock.
 The legality of the Arbitration Com mittee because of Tts makeup was questioned, but the objection was over ruled The Cleveland section must either resign or abide by the Constitu- tion to retain its membership in the Council
 The activities of the Council of Jewish Women today eentered in re- bar T,g fgt. and Jewish charities. The evening meeting was held in the Avondale Temple and was devoted to the reading of several papers,

TWO THOUSAND UNION MEN
 ATTEND RELIGIOUS MEETING

Philadelphia, Penn, Dec. 6.-Meet- ings for workmen. students and young men Of the various social organiza- tions in the churches were held here today under the auspices of the Fed eral council of the churches of Christ in America.
 The workingmen's meeting in the Lyric Theatre, was probably the most noteworthy of its kind ever held in the country. and the largest in lhe history of the city. More than 2.Ooo men. most of them members of trades organizations, and including the full membership of twenty-four unions' attended the meeting, which was pre- sided over by Dennis Hayes, fifth vice president of the American Federation of Labor
 Mir. Hayes talked to his fellow workmen on The church and home industry on which a strong resolu- tion was adopted by the Federal coun- ell on Friday. The speaker said the meeting marked. in his opinion, an epoch in the history of the church and organized labor. The resolution on labor adopted by the federal coun- cii. he said, was such as to make him almost conclude 1t emanated from some labor committee. Had iaboring men been told year ago that suen a resolution had been adopted by committee of ministers. the speaker said, he doubted whether they would have been believed. He concluded by saying that he was glad the church was waking up to the needs of the laboring men, who, in turn should show their appreciation by needing the church influence in their laboring organizations. He added that the ma jority of trade unionists were church members.
 Rev Charles Stelzle, superintendent of the department of church and la bor of the Presbyterian Church, and Bishop E. R. Hendrix, the elected president of the federal council. were the principal speakers.
