|BAR ASSOCIATION
CLOSES MEETING
TAFT is ONE OF
THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS AT
CLOSING SESSION.
Race Question in Membership is
Compromised and Session closes
Without a Single Contest.

Washington. Oct. pa dinner to-
supreme court and commemorative OF
its 125th anniversary, presided over
by former President William III. Taft
and attended by Chief Justice White
and the associate Justice of the
court, closed the annual meeting of
the American bar Association. Peter
w. Meldrim of Savannah, Ca, had
been elected president at the final
business session.
The compromise of the race ques-
ton as to membership in the associa-
ton in the closing hours of the meet
ing permitted adjournment without a
single contest on the floor. Moore
field Storey of Boston had introduced
resolution to rescind the 1912 reso-
luton declaring it had never been
contemplated that negroes should be-
come members. AS substitute,
Henry st. George Tucker of Virginia,
before debate of the Storey resolu-
ton was taken up, offered resolu-
ton resembling the 1912 resolution,
but setting forth that all applications
for membership should state the race
and sex of the applicant and such
other facts as the committee should
| require.
The Tucker resolution was adopted
almost unanimously. Mr. Storey
grasped Mr.. fuckers hand and the
entire audience broke forth in APP
plause.
The Tucker resolution not only set.
tied for the time being the negro
question, but empowered the eXecu-
tive committee to pass upon the ad
missicn of women, three of whom
lave applied for membership.

Again today it was reported that
Italy had landed marines at Avlona,
Albania. Such a step, it is believed
here, would not be resented by any
power at the present moment, when
the situation in Albania is so serious
because of the warning tribes and the

"a test of strength may come on the
effort of the commission to assume
authority. Heretofore there has been
no indication that the convention in
tended to exercise executive func-

tions, not only in press dispatches
but in official reports, that General
Carranza has refused to recognize the
sovereignty of the assembly and pur-
poses continuing to exercise eXecu-
tive functions until a general cleo

No mention is made in the official
reports of the allegation made by
Car1anza adherents that General
Villa moved several thousand men
into proximity to the convention.
President Wilson himself expressed
doubt as to its accuracy today. OH
Gals here say on the contrary, that
everything Villa so far has done has
revealed a desire not to coerce the
convention but to abide by its deci-
sions.

Gratis who are fighting for legislation
to relieve financial stress in the cot

for adjournment of congress at o
o'clock. Led by Senator Hoke Smith,
Of Georgia, the cotton belt members,
at the last moment, prevented action
in the senate on a joint resolution to
adjourn sine die, already passed by
the house.
The ccliarse of the adjournment
program, came after every hope for
its success had been held out and
supreme efforts had been made TO
accomplish the conclusion, after
adoption in both houses of the con
ference report on the war revenue
bill.
A spectacular feature of the situa-
ton was a dash by President Wilson
in an automobile from golf course
to the capital, to reach there in time
to sign the war revenue bill before
adjournment. The president rushed
into the capital, followed by secret
service men at 5:45 o'clock. Attired
in his gof clothes and without his
reading glasses. he fastened into the
Presidents room, where the revenue
measure signed by Speaker Clark
