WOMEN INDIGNANT AT BISHOP
ouayle stirs Twin City Body With
Comments on Their Work at
Meeting.

st. Paul, Minn.-Twin city club
women are indignant over Methodist
Bishop w. A. Quayle's arraignment OF
their work, through which. he said
they are losing their spirituality; that
IT is the women with the most errone'
GUS views who do all the talking at
club meetings; that women are hard
er to reach through religion than are
men, and that fewer women are
church members than men. The state
ments we're made at a meeting here.
Several prominent club women have
replied to the statements Of the blsh
OPP, saying that IF spirituality means
the loss of the intelligence gained
through club work, 1t Is not worth
keeping" One woman thinks the
bishops ideas ARE a thousand years
too late" and another is OF the opinion
that I'VE don'tneed spirituality as much
as we need practicability in this day
and age"

State Bryan. following conference
with President Wilson at the White
House. Mr.. Bryan said:
The statement which appeared in

President Has Plan In Mind.
President Wilson is understood to
have definite program OF action in
mind, one manifestation OF it being
the vigorous representations on the
part Of the government whenever
American citizens are involved. The
demand for the release of American
citizens deprived Of liberty in Chihua-
hua, which was presented by special
messenger to Consul Letcher and by
him to the Mexican authorities two
days ago, is likened here to the Roose-
welt note to Morocco with reference
to the operations of the bandit Raisuli.
Needs kon-Partisan President.
The chief difficulty in negotiating
peace, 1t is admitted by Mexicans Of
all factions, is the selection of a non
partisan provisional president.
The house foreign affairs committee
decided to ask Ambassador Wilson to
outline his views on Mexico. The am
bassador may meet the committee to-
day.
Chairman Flood made it clear that
the administration was determined
not to recognize the Huerta govern
ment and that Secretary Bryan con-
templates an attempt to get a valid.
binding election. .#n
Secretary Bryan asked the house
to appropriate 100000 to care for
