Safety for children.
There were a number of ladies at
the sessions today and a committee
of club women was named to con-
slider how the women's clubs may CO.
operate with the schools toward safe
ty for children. At the request of
the ladies present, J. R. Brownell,
safety expert from California, fur
nished addresses at which publica-
tions relating to safety for children
who cross streets or ear tracks may
be secured.
J. M. Fulton, assistant general
freight and passenger traffic manager
Of the Southern Pacific company, read
from the minutes of the saftey meet
ing at Ogden, April 3, of Southern
Pacific employees, in order to show
the system under which, in five years,
325, ZOO, 900 passengers have been car
without a fatality. He aso referred
to the Plaza in Reno as the most dan
gerous spot between San Francisco
and Ogden, owing to the fact that the
people continually cross tn etracks at
the Plaza between street intersec-
tions.
The address of J. R. Brownell was
along general lines. In speaking of
the transportation phase, he referred
to an order by a southern railroad
that its colored employees be furnished
with safety razors. A white cross on
green field was referred to as the
safety emblem.
Constitution Adopted.
I After being amended in one par
ticular, following long discussion, the
constitution prepared by the commit
tee of nine was adopted and the by
laws were then considered in detail
amended and adopted. The amend
ments proposed were prepared in ad-
vance at caucus Saturday afternoon
of part of the delegates to the con
vention. oMst of the amendments
were in small particulars, but in one
case there was extended discussion
and division of sentiment. The point
was As to-whsther the executive com
mittee should have power to remove

of rs directors. The amendment final
ly carried and only the directors may
