business from being outawed by the voters know
what the ballot in the hands of the women means and
those OF the trade who have had no first hand ex-

General Federation of Women's Clubs
Goes on Record Against the Saloon

Temperance endorsed and the liquor traffic
condemned as responsible for three-fourths Of the
crime, vice and misery in this country by the General
Federation of Women's Clubs at its closing business
meeting of the session OF June Y, in the following
resolutions
Whereas, The liquor traffic is responsible for
three quarters of the crime, vice and misery in this
country; be it
Resolved, That the of the General FEEDER
alton place themselves on record as opposed to the
liquor traffic and in favor of such federal or state laws
as will tend to eradicate this evil"
Mrs E. G. Denniston, chairman of the committee
on resolutions made the final report of the committee
stating that seventyeght resolutions relating to var
lous departments and Of miscellaneous nature had
been submitted but owing to the desire expressed by
the council only the most important reported to
the convention for action.
The fact that the Federation deems the liquor
question an important issue bodies no good for the
saloon.

In Opposition

Had the women possessed the rights of suffrage
he liquor traffic and cognate evils would long since
have been abolished by law and the law been en-
forced. With the aid of womens votes we should
have had better educational system, laws against
child labor better sanitation and other enacments
for the betterment of conditions of the home and of
the more helpless part of society It is certain that
the main force which has opposed the adoption of
equal suffrage has from the whisky trust the
vice trust and the political machines which have been
operated with money furnished by the great interests
which have derived revenues from the adulteraon of
food products and other abuses-Chef Justice Clark

Mystery Of Burning Steam
er Solved by Finding of
Thirteen Seamen.
THIRTY-FIVE MISSING
Meagre Report From Rescuing Ship
Saws Columbian Was Destroy
ed by Explosion Sunday
Afternoon.

Halifax, N. S., May 5.-Forty hours
after an explosion and fire drove
them to the lift-boats for safety,
thirteen members of the crew of the
Leyland liner Columbia were rescued
by the Cunard Fraconia late this
afternoon about 600 miles off Halifax.
All were terribly exhausted from
their freightful experience. The
ordeal proved too much for one of
them, Chief Steward Matthews, who
died in the boat from exposure.
From latest advices, at least one
more boat, containing ninenteen men,
is still missing and the Fraconia is
continuing her search for this boat
tonight.
There is some mystery as to the
remainder of the crew, for none OF
the messages received her accounted
for Captain Mcdonald, the third and
fourth officers; any of the engineers
and eight Or ten more members Of
the Columbian company.
Explosion Wrecks Vessel
There was an explosion in the
Columbia's cargo on Sunday night;
an explosion which must have com
pletely wrecked the ship and set her
SO completely -afire that she was
abandoned very shortly afterward.
One desparing call for help was sent
out by her wireless. Sable Island
caught a message from her:
1--WE are Attire, hurry up"
Then before the name of the snip
or her position could be given wire
less was disabled and communication
ceased.
The blazing wreck was sighted by
the steamer Seydlitz yesterday, which
sent out a general call for assistance
and among the ships responding was
the Fraconia, which cruised east of
Sable island, searching for boats.
The search was about to be aband-
oned today when the Fraconia sighted
one craft.
Fate Of Many Mystery.
The chief and second officers and
seventeen men were reported as still
missing in brief dispatch from the
Fraconia sent here, but seamen are
utterly unable to understand where
the remainder of the Columbia's crew
are.
The possibilities were. discussed
this afternoon that Captain Mcdonald
and the unaccounted for men had
been picked up by some other ship;
that their boat had upset alongside or
after leaving the ship; or that they

The Columbian, which is we'll

of the most thrilling and terrible
stories in all the annals of the sea.
