Valley City Is Prominent at Minot
Meeting Of Federation Of Women

% district meetings have been held.
The pleasure of attending 81 Of these
meetings has been mine, the Chicago
biennial preventing attendance at the
other. know, therefore, what source
of interest, inspiration and information
they have been.
At each of these gatherings a men,
Der of each of the II departments of
work has been present to report upon
the work of her department and to
impress upon her hearers the import
ance of that work. Each of these de-
partments of work l will say, for the
benefit of our visitors, consists of eight
members. There is one from each
district whose duty it is to supervise
in her district her special line of work,
as civics, conservation, education, lit
erature, art, health and so on. So
there are SO members of departments
representing the women from every
section of our state. These women
work. They are not dead timber as
committee members were some years
ago. They felt the responsibility rest
ing upon them to make their depart
ments worth while. The board of di.
rectors has spent much time and
thought in selecting committee mem
bers specially adapted to the work of
the departments in which they are
placed. That time has passed when a
committee member can rest on her
oars. All must pull together or else
the perfect advancement of the ship
of progress is retarded.
Committee members are not accept
ing the title now unless they mean
business. l wish you all could have
been with me at the various district
meetings this year and heard the re-
ports of this department representa-
tive. We honor you and the spirit
of these SO will equal that of "'76" in
calling us to our best efforts. l must
not tell you the plan of work laid out
for all of these departments. They
will speak for themselves later and I
must not trespass upon their province.
Right here let me thank the vice
president in behalf of the state fed
GRAFTON for the faithful work they have
done. Their energy has been bound

they preside are almost empires. 1t
was impossible for them to do the
close-to-hand work they wanted to do
for the women who were more or less
isolated. We are glad to report that
the suggestion made in your presi-
dents address last year was carried
into fruition and a county chairman
appointed for each of the counties in
this state. These county chairmen
will be introduced Thursday evening
by Mrs. McCluSky, our DOarQ memDer,
who has been the efficient chairman
of the county workers. Some of the
new western counties have no clubs,
but a woman is chosen from each of
those counties to act as chairman and
we hope although not then a clubwo'
man, she soon would organize a club
in her own community and come into
the fold. We have not been disap
pointed in this. Clubs from three
such counties have been admitted this

Address Of President
Nelson Is Received
With Much Applause

Minot, Oct. 13.-The music furnish
ed at the morning session by different
districts of the state federation now
meeting here showed much Of the
high quality of the work done by club
women in the arts. The reports OF
the district vice presidents showed
also that the tendency of the clubs in
all communities is more and more to-
ward suffrage and civic work and less
20 the old idea of self Improvement.
Altruism does a great deal more for
the community spirit than does the in
diyidualstic and cultural idea alone.
The rest of the morning was taken
40 with routine work of rules and
regulations, changes in constitutions,
reading of minutes, etc.
An informal ballot was cast for vice
president at large to succeed Mrs.
Baldwin of Fargo who has served her
full four years. Also ballots were
cast for recording secretary, CORE
spending secretary, treasurer, general
federation secretary and three direc-
tors.
There is a possibility that all of the
same officers would be reelected who
rere still eligible.
The afternoon events were in the
aands of the home economics and
public health sections who presented
che better baby demonstration, the ad-
dress of 'The Community Nurse" and
the prize essy on Home" which won

FINE INDICTED
ASDEATHPLOTTERs
Breitung, Fay and Others Are
Accused.
MURDER IS NEW CHARGE.
Three More Men Are Arrested at New
York by Secret Service Agents
Explosives Found In
Flat.

New York, Dec. Five additional
indictments were returned against
Robert Fay Walter Scholz, Max Brei-
tung, DR.. Herbert Kienzle. Englebert
Bronkhorst, and Paul Daeche. All
were charged with conspiracy to COM
NIT murder, to commit assault with
deadly weapons and to destroy ships.
The previous indictments against
them merely charged them with at
tempting TO destroy ships.
Fay, who says he is lieutenant in
the German army, and his associates
were originally arrested on charges
Of conspiring to blow up ships carry
ing munitions to the allies. Fay
claimed to have invented a device
which could be attached to the pro-
pellers of the ships and which would
be exploded by the movement of the
vessels.
The original charge referred to
ships presumably owned by the allied
T ations. The new indictments spe-
officially state that the alleged con-
spiracy was directed against Ameri-
cans and ships owned in part or
whole in this country.
Provides Against Technicalities.
The purpose of the new indictments
is to cover possible technicalities not
embraced in the original bill, particu-
larly to embrace any events within
the territorial waters of the United
,tric
Knox, who has been in charge of the
case, explained that the indictments
for conspiracy to commit murder did
| not necessarily mean that murder was
| planned, but that men who COnspired
| to commit an act which might result
| in murder could be charged with the
| more serious crime.
Two of the defendants, Max Bret
tung and Doctor Kienzle, at present
are out on bail. They will not be
rearrested, but will be notified to APP
pear in court and give new bonds.
| Daeche is in custody in Jersey City.
| 1t is expected that the federal Judge
| for that district will issue an order
directing that he be turned over tc'
the New York district court.

corning the presence of the explosives,

REVOLT is CRUSHED
CHINESE REBELS DEFEATED BY
AUTHORITIES.
Crew Of BattleshIp Was Overpowered
by Revolutlonists - Three on
Cruiser Killed by Shells.

Shanghai, Dec. Three outbreaks
by small bands of rebels have been
put down by the authorities, VINO ap-
parently have the situation well in
hand.
The cruiser Chao-Ho, seized by 40
men who boarded 1t from a launch,
was abandoned by the rebels after 1t
had been shelled and set on fire.
1t was reported at first that the crew
of the Chaotic had mutinied, but it
developed that the bombardment by
the cruiser of other warships and the
arsenal was carried on under compul-
sion from the rebels, who surprised
and overpowered the crew.
Three men on the ~-uiser were
killed and five wounded.
An attack from land on the arsenal
at midnight was repulsed quickly after
some rife firing.
The third outbreak occurred at four
o'clock in the morning. A party of
thirty or forty rebels attacked the
Chapel subpolice station, throwing
bombs, which killed one policeman and
injured three. The assailants were dis
persed by troops.
Although several shots fell in the
foreign settlement, no damage of i'm
portance was done there.
Tokyo, Dec. Tt is reported on
good authority that the Japanese for
eign Office expected an uprising in
China and therefore recently warned
President Yuan Shih-kai, though the
trouble was not expected to occur for
another month. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Dr. Sun YatSen is In hid
ing in Tokyo and that he instigated
the uprising with the aid of politicians.
1t is probable that Japan, now posses.
sing reliable data, will renew its ad-
vice to Yuan Shih-kai to postpone the
proposed change in government.

WILSON CAMPAIGN ON
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT
TEE MEETS Al WASHINGTON.
Members of Body Say There Must Be
No Opposition t. denomination
To Issue Convention Call.

Washington, Dec THE campaign
for the reelection of Woodrow Wilson
opened here today. The occasion was
the meeting OF the Democratic ma
tional committee. Gathered osten-
sibly to issue the call for the national
convention and to select the conven-
ton city ana the date, the original
Wilson mem bers of the committee
took occasion to make it emphatically
plain that. in their opinion, there must
be no opposition to the denomination
Of the present occupant of the White
House.
But 1t was not alone the Wilson
men who took this view. The men
who four years ago were moving
heaven and earth in the effort to
clinch the nomination for Speaker
Clark today were squarely lined up
behind the president. And even the
committee members who look to Will
liam Jennings Bryan for their inspi.
ration admitted that only some unex.
pected catastrophe could prevent the
naming of the president as the stand,
ard bearer of Democracy once again.
AS the party in power. the Democ.
racy will lead the way in next years
campaign. An early convention is
necessary, according to Chairman
William F. McCombs. "in order that
the party shall remain on the Of
fensive and no. be forced to take the
defensive" McCombs will retain his
present position as chairman until
after the next convention and will
have the honor of calling the conven'
ton to order. The proposed fight
to sidetrack him has been shelved by
the direct command of the president
himself.
The struggle for the honor of en-
tertaining the convention was kept
up right to the very minute that the
doors closed on the meeting, St
Louis, first city to be in the field. was
represented by strong committee
armed with a certified check and a
promise to pay all expenses Similar
committees and promises were on
hand from Chicago, San Francisco
and Dallas, and the usual minority
members who favored a convention In
New York were sounding the praises
of the metropolis.
