A strategy conference Of the

last Wednesday, TO permit q vote.
They appointed their leader, Sem

mittee.
HarAssed by the fiIibuster. Sen
ate Republicans had demanded an
opportunity at least TO vote on
elOture. Senator Taft said Re-
publicans would not agree 10
drop the FEPC bill until the mo-
ton for clOture was voted on.
The decision on the clOture
vote was made bAckstaEe. and
Senator BArkley took the issue
TO the floor at p. m. last Thurs
day.
With the Senate hopelessly tied
up by the hlibuster Of Southern
Democrats, Senator Barley said II
seemed wise TO get n vote on the
clOture motion.
In order TO do that, he withdrew
his appealing from the ruling Of
Senator. Kenneth Mcclellan, Demo
crat, Of Tennessee, the Senate's pre-
siding officer, that the cloture pc
titiOn was not in order a. long as
the Senate was technically in the
process Of correcting its minutes
Of January II.
Senator Clyde r. Hoey, Demo
crat, Of North Carolina, then with
drew the frivolous motion he made
on January 20 TO include In the
minutes the names Of Senators who
had failed TO answer a quorum call.
The Senate technically had been
debating that motion since he made
IL.
These parliamentary moves
made the cloture petition, signed
by forty eight Senators, In order.

Senator BRrklsy sent the petition
10 the desk after he and Senator
Taft made II plain that they dis
agreed with Senator McKSllar's
ruling, and that the actual deci-
sion as to the meaning Of the clio
ture rule will be left TO a later date.

wife misconducted herself, James
Suter, 1916 U street N. W, an
honorably discharged veteran filed
suit in the District Court for an
absolute divorce from Mrs. Sarah

Wilson named Ira L. Merriweath-

correspondent. He alleges that
after he left the United States with
the Army, his wife lived with the

NAACP Gains 5000
Members on {

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-Dur-
ing 1915, the NAACP gained 5000
members on the Pacific Coast, ac-
cording to Noah W. Griffin, secre-
tary Of the regional office here.
California branches made the great
est gains, with Los Angeles main
tanning its place as the fifth larg-
est NAACP unit in the nation. The
increase in Oregon was about 30
per cent, but there was n slight de-
crease in Washington due to the
shutdown Of war industries and
movement Of war workers out OF
the state. The region has set
goal Of 10000 members for 1916.
