DEBATE ON COLOR!
Federation of Women in a
Warm Argument.
IN REGARD TO RACE QUESTION
They Finnlly Adopt a. Compromise
Acceptable to Northern and South
ern Intercuts and the Day Ends
Well Jordan on Education.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 5. After a
two years' discussion of the admission of
colored women to the General Federation,
the antl-coloriets won today. The sixth
convention voted overwhelmingly to ac
cept what is known as the compromise
amendments agreed upon in sew York
several weeks ago. On the opening day
of the convention it was evident the spirit
of toleration would rule. There was abso
lutely no bitterness In the preliminary talk
outside the convention hall.
This morning there was suppreseed ex
citement during the consideration of the
oharter. The first shot came from Geor
gia. Its president, Mrs. A. O. Granger,
moved that the convention first consider
sections 2 and 3 of article 2, the important
portions of amendments proposed by rep
resentatives of Georgia and Massachu
setts, In New York, which are commonly
called the New York compromise. After
a good deal of preliminary sparring by
.opposing factions, Mrs. Shields, of Mis
sourl, proposed a substitute to section 2
favoring admission of colored clubs. This
threw the convention Into heated debate.
Mrs. Shields spoke as a former slave
owner, and her substitute was:
"That clubs containing colored women
shall be eligible to the General Federa
tion In those states and territories in
which they are eligible In their state and
territorial organizations, and In other or
ganization? race eligibility shall be de
clared by two-thirds vote."
The New York compromise amendment,
which was adopted, read:
"From a state where a club Is a mem
ber of the State Federation It would also
be eligible to the General Federation If
reported by the Board of State Federation,
the power of admission to remain as
given in article 2 of the laws."
"When it came to a vote on the Missouri
substitute, It was lost overwhelmingly.
Debate "War inn Up.
In the course of the debate, which,
though Intense, was at all times collected
and clear, three speeches seemed to make
a marked Impression on the audience. The
first one was by Mrs. Galllnger, of Ohio,
who ended by saying:
"When colored women are strong enough
to stand on an equal footing with the
whites, let us consider their admission,
but let u not stop their progress by ad
mitting them at this time."
Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House Chi
cago, paid tribute to the magnanimous
position of Georgia In the controversy,
but declared race integrity could best be
obtained through equality.
Then came a turn in the tide, when Mrs.
Alice Bradford Miles, of Illinois, made a
plea to accept the New York compromise
as presented by Massachusetts and Geor
gia. This was followed by a similar plea
from the president of the Wisconsin Fed
eration, Mrs. H. M. Youmans.
One of the last speeches was by Mrs.
Alice Bradford Miles, of Chicago, who
made a strong plea for the continued
union of woiren of the North and the
South and for the acceptance of the com
promise. How the Vote Stood.
When the rules were suspended and the
Iva voce vote was taken, the conven
tiojiybted by a large majority to accept
thecompromise amendment. This decis
ion was greeted with much applause, und
while it does not finally settle the color
question for this convention, it being pos
sible for it to crop out tomorrow morning
in the consideration of section 3, which
provides for the duties of the membership
committee, it Is looked upon as a triumph
for the women of the South In their two
years' struggle to keep colored clubs out
of the General Federation.
The expected trouble over the charter
pr ceded these proceedings, and, after a
series of parliamentary tangles, which
Mrs. Lowe handled with her customary
power, further discussion was postponed.
Mrs. Lockwood made her report as chair
man of the cohimlttee, stating that Con
gress had granted the General Federation
a National charter, and that it was the
last one signed by President McKInley.
Mrs. Julia B. Shattuc, of Illinois moved
that the report be accepted and the com
mittee be empowered to continue and call
a. meeting at Washington for the purpose
of finally accepting the charter and per
fecting the new organization.
Afternoon SchhIoiih.
Four sessions occupied the afternoon.
One, on civics, under Mrs. Anna D. West
had as speakers and their subjects: Mrs.
belle Perry, of Michigan, "Responsibili
ties of Yomcn in Municipal Reform";
Mrs. M. E. Frautman, of New York,
Mians and Methods of Protecting Public
Health'; MIs Abby Ware, of Kansas.
' Value of Community Life to Social Re
form", Miss Georgia Bacon, of Massa
chusetts, "Vacation Schools and Play
grounds"; Mrs. Martha Hoppln, of Ohio,
'Proptr Reformatories for Women and
children"; Mrs. Frederick Schorr, of
Pennsylvania, "Juvenile Court Laws."
This was followed by a forestry session,
jnder Mrs.v J. p. Mnmford, of Pennsyl
vania. One of the two sessions In the
Jther auditorium was under Mrs. Annie
Moores, of Texas, during which traveling
libraries and traveling art collections were
orougnt out by such speakers as Mrs. O.
P. Barnes, of Kentucky; Mrs. Charles A.
Perkins, of Tennessee; Mrs. Percy Penny
jacker. of Texas, and Mrs. S. O. Neldus
st Utah.
The Audubon Session.
The Audubon session led off with a
eport by Mrs. John Illick, of Iowa, who
said:
"The report of this society shows that
t has directed Its work along two lines
first, in procuring legislation for the pro
jection of birds, and, second, by the em
.Mojment of wardens in certain localities
In the coast states. Manufacturers of
and dealers m bird plumage, in a number
of instances have been prosecuted, and
fined, and in other cases the threat of
prosecution has led to the cancellation of
purchases on the ground that dealings In
those articles for ornamental, uses are
prohibited by law. ir the women of a
great body like this in the love of the
beautiful In Nature, standing for the
light, would unite In a strong determina
tion against the sacrifice of life and song
for personal ado'rnment, the laws would
more easily and with le&s expense be made
effective. The results, however, so far
accomplished give encouragement for a
greater work in the future."
The subject of the "Educational Value
of Bird Study" was given by Mrs. Charles
Tdbinger, of Nebraska, and "The Eco
nomic Value of Bird Life to Human Life"
oy Mrs. Ebn Smith, of Illinois, was dls
russed by Mrs. W. H Bailey, of Iowa,.
The Presidential Race.
The color discussion nas entirely over
shadowed the presidential race today, but
at the same time reports are flying fast.
There seems to be a feeling that the
Decker forces are gaining ground. A
Colorado woman stated tonight that 17
states have already announced their in
tention of voting for her. At 5 o'clock to
morrow afternoon the nominating com
miitoe is scheduled, to meet for making
up the ticket. The rumor that Mrs.
Denison has withdrawn was promptly de
nied by her tonight
The report of the committee appointed
to secure a National charter, as made by
Mrs. Mary Lockwood, called forth much
discussion and entanglement. This com
mittee was Instructed to continue the
work -of accepting the charter and perfect
ing under It the new organisation.
The invitation made by Mrs. "William
Todd Helmuth, of New York, that the
next convention be held in that city, will,
like the one from Minneapolis, be referred
to the board for action. Tonight Presi
dent Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford
University, spoke on "Education of
Women." President Jordan saM:
President Jordan's Address.
The subject of the higher training of
young, women may resolve itself Into
three questions:
1 Shall a girl receive a college educa
tion? 2 Shall Bhe receive the same kind of a
college education aa a boy?
3 Shall she be educated in the same
college?
As to the first question: It must depend
on the character of the girl. Precisely so
with tHe boy. What we should do with
either depends on his or heir possibilities.
No parent should let either boy or girl
enter life with any less preparation than
the best they can give. The highest
product of social evolution is the growth
of the civilized home, the home that only
a wise, cultivated and high-minded woman
can make. To furnish such women is one

NOMINATED FOR
RECEIVER OF
VANCOUVER LAND
OFFICE
VANCOUVER, Wain., May B.
Alex J. Cook, who has been nomi
nated for Receiver of the Van
couver Land Office, to micceed L.
B. Cloush, w born In Aberdeen,
Scotland in 183C. In 1871 he moved
to Clark County, where he has
since resided. For a number of
years he was engaged in the nur
sery business, and in 1890 he was
elected on the Republican ticket as
County Treasurer, and In 1802 waa
re-elected. In 1890 he was elected
County Auditor, which office he held
for two terms. Mr. Cook has been
a lifelong Republican, and an ar
dent supporter of the principles ad
vocated by the party. In 1000 he
was chairman of the Republican
County Central Committee, and the
overwhelming victory tor the Re
publican partythat year was large
ly due to his efforts.
of the worthiest functions of higher edu
cation. Second Shall we give our girls, the same
education as our boys? Yes, and no. If
we mean the same, an equal degree of
breadth and thoroughness, an equal fitness
for high thinking and wise acting, yes,
let it be the same. If we mean shall we
reach this end by exactly the same course
of studies? Then my answer must be
no. For the same course of study will not
yield the same results with different per
sons. In the university of today the largest
liberty of choice In study is given to the
student. There are, of course, certain
average differences between men and
women students. Women have often J
greater sympathy or greater readiness of
memory or apprehension, greater fond
ness for technique. In the languages and
literature, often In mathematics and his- l
tory, they are found to excel. They lack,
on the whole, originality. They are not
attracted by unsolved problems, apd in
the inductive or "Inexact" sciences they
seldom take the lead. The "motor" side
of their minds and natures is not strongly
developed. They do not work for re
sults as much as for the pleasure of
study.
Favor Coeducation.
Third Shall women be taught In the
same classes as men? This Is partly a
matter of taste or personal preference.
It does no harm whatever to either men
or women to meet those of the -other
sex In the same classrooms. Considerable
has been said for and against the union
In one institution of technical schools and
schools of liberal arts. But I believe
better men aTe made when the two are
brought more closely tegether.
It is not true that the character of col
lege work has been In any way lowered
by coeducation. The reverse is decidedly
the case. There is no question that a
reaction has set In against coeducation.
The number of those who proclaim their
unquestioning faith is relatively fewer
than would have been the case 10 years
ago. This change In sentiment Is not
universal. It will be nowhere revolu
tionary. Young womei will not be ex
cluded frcm any Institution where they are
now welcomed, nor will the almost uni
versal rule of coeducation In state insti
tutions be In anj way changed or re
versed. Hovr Men and Women Differ.
The only serious new argument against
coeducation Is that derived from the fear
of the adoption by universities of woman's I
standards of art and sclcnpe rather than
those of men, the fear that amateurism
will take place of specialization In .our
higher education. Only men, broadly
speaking, are capable of objective studies.
Only men can learn to face a fact without
flinching, unswayed by feeling or prefer
ence. The reality with woman Is the way
In whtclrthe fact affects her. Original In
vestigation, creative art, the "resolute
facing of the world as It Is" all belong to
man's work, not at all to that of the av
erage woman. That women in college do
as good work as the men Is beyond ques
tion. In the university they do not, for
this difference exists, the rare exceptions
only proving the rule, that women excel
In technique, men In actual achievement.
If Instruction through investigation, Is the
real work of the real university, .then in
the real university the work of the most
gifted women Is only by-play.
A final question: Does not coeducation
lead to marriage? Most certainly It
does; and this fact cannot be and need
not be denied. The wonder is rather that
there are not more of such marriages.
XORTHWEST WOMEN.
They Make Their Influence Felt at
the Convention.
LOS ANGELES. May 5. The rest of
Sunday from the labor of conventional
business and beautiful weather contribut
ed toward making the morning session a
cheerful. Joyous on. The good humor
prevailing was very helpful In tiding
through the thicket of reorganization
amendments, and we of the Northwest, al
though we have seemed to be on the out
side, as It were, of this question,
breathed more easily when we realized
that the Georgia and Massachusetts com
promise had been accepted.
Among the speakers whese. Influence was
felt on the side of the committee's re
popt, was that of Mrs. A. S. Dunlway
and Mrs. M. L T. Hidden. The North
westerners were especially pleased that
thdr representatives were heard to the
remotest part of the large auditorium,
as there has been much complaint be
cause of the impossibility of hearing many
of the speakers. When the Oregon wom
en met this morning- they had wonderful
confidences to exchange. In view of vari
ous courtesies that had been extended
to "them, ranging from Invitations to din
ner and automobile rides to the reception
of the California Press Club Association.
A reception Is to be given this evening
to Mrs. Dcnlson. of New York, by the
Maine delegation, at which Mrs. C. B.
Wade, state president, will represent the
state.
When the Oregon delegation feel some
what obliterated by the Influential mem-
bers from the enher states who seem to
have the right of way, they take espe
cial comfort In Inspecting Mrs. Rose
Hoyt's toilets, feeling cure that she Is
regarded as one of the best gowned wom
en of the convention. The great Middle
West, New England and New York are
so thoroughly organized that we realize
that we will have to be up and doing in
order to have a place In these great bien
nials. It would be so delightful to your
correspondent to report the reception of
the able papers by the Northwest women,
and the Intensely Interesting discussion
that has followed them, but when not one
of our women has had more than the op
portunity to say "Amen" to what has
been heard, your readers must, with us,
be reconciled to the situation.
Our greatest effort lies Just now In con
vincing the natives that we are represent
atives of the greatest states in the Union.
Whatever else may be said of this truly
remarkable gathering of wise and fair
women we are quite sure that it would
have been very beneficial If they had
studied their geography a little more care
fully before leaving home. Civics and
forestry have been the subjects before
us today. In both of which your dele
gates ae especially Interested. A standing
committee Is to be appointed on forestry.
Mrs. Marquam, the president of the
Portland Woman's Club, extended an in
vitation to all delegates taking the north
ern route home to stop over In Portland.
As many are to go that way to Yellow
stone Park, It Is to be hoped that the
roses will be In bloom and the club wom
en all "At home" to them "when .they ap-

pear. Great interest is manifested be
cause the nominating committee meets
tomorrow morning. Oregon's representa
tive on that committee will be the state
president, Mrs. C. B. Wade, who Is unln
structed, as Is also Washington's mem
ber. Mrs. Elwood. David Starr Jordan,
Miss Sabln, well known to our educators,
and Miss Martin, of Stanford, were the
speakers this evening.

An electric motor line from this city

of a 50-year franchise as soon as the City
Council of Dayton can act under the law.
The only thing that can Interfere with
their plans, they say, Is the refusal of
some city to grant them privilege of en

ready promised rights of way through
their streets, and other necessary grants,
and It is not believed the other cities will
hold back. In presenting their case be

Retarns From Mexico.
L. A. Westacott returned to Salem to
day from the State of Sonora. Mexico,
where he has gold-mining Interests. A
number of Salem.and Woodburn men are
Interested In mining properties In that
section of Mexico, but Mr. Westacott says
a deal Is about to be closed by which the
Oregon men will dispose of practically all
their holdings In that country to a large
mining company of Denver.
Mr. Westacott says the mining Industry
of Mexico. Is very exteristvely developed.
Outside capital has made large Invest
ments and Is realizing good returns. Un
til within the past year transportation fa
cilities In the section where local men are
Interested have been poor, retarding the
dcvelopmnt of the mines. A good rail
road now pnetrates the Interior of the
State of Sonora. and to a point within a
few miles of the holdings of the Salem
parties.
Mr. Westacott also reports an advance
ment In Mexico along -industrial lines.
Senator Clark, of Montana, and other
large speculators have purchased a vast
acreage In that country and have begun
the cultivation of India rubber. White
labor Is scarce In the State of Sonora.
Common white laborers receive $3 per day
gold for their services, while natives get
but 2 to ?2 0 Mexican money.

Portland Savings Bank, of Portland,
Oregon, 59718 33, alleged by him to have
been deposited In thal bank on May 10,
1S&4 It was based on an Oregon statute
which provides If directors of a corpora
tion declare and pay dividends when a
corporation Is Insolvent, and if such divi
dends render the corporation insolvent or
diminish the amount of Its capital stock,
such directors shall be Jointly and sever
ally liable for debts of the corporation
existing or contracted while they remain
in ofllce.
Plaintiff alleged that March 13, 1S33,
while defendants were acting as a board
of directors of the bank they declared a
dividend of 2 per cent, on its capital stock
and that this dividend was paid on April
1 of the same year, and that the bank
was Insolvent when the dividend was
declared and paid. To this Wade Inter
posed the plea that the statute of lim
itations had run and that action was
barred.

Other Improvement.
ALBANY, Or., May 5. Mayor Davis
and Councilmen Diwson, Ralston and
Dannals. have returned from Portland
and Oregon City, where they went to ex
amine street pavements. They will re
port unanimously In favor of vitrified
brick, and it is expected contracts will be
let for the pivement of at least four
blocks on First street, and perhaps two
on Second street and the Intervening
streets.
More enterprise Is shown here In street
Improvement than for several years. Be
sides street Improvements, an opera-house
Is being erected, and the big Veal chhir
factory Is under construction. The con

WATER IS EXPENSIVE.
Vancouver Citizens Think They Pay
Too Mnclt.
VANCOUVER. Wash., May 5. A circu
lar signed by many citizens was issued to
day, calling a mass meeting of the citizens
of Vancouver at the Auditorium. Thurs
day evening, May S, for the purpose of
dlscucslng municipal ownership of a' water
plant.
There has been much talk In favor of
a city water plant, ever since the Van
couver Water Works Company got control
of both water systems. The new com
panS Immediately on assuming control
raised the water rent from $1 for family
use to $1 50, the maximum rate provided
in Its franchise) In cases the franchise
does not 'cover, such as liverj- stables.

saloons, etc., the prices were more than
doubled. The immediate cause of the call
for the mass meeting is an order recently
Issued by the company for an additional
charge for sprinkling gardens and the
front of business housas. Charges are also
made for incidental uses, such as for
slacking lime.
A number of prominent citizens were
interviewed today In regard to what plan
will be pursued, but very few have as
yet formulated any well-defined plan.
Some favor condemning the plant of the
Vancouver Water Works Company, while
others favor putting in an independent
gravity system. There are a number of
springs a little above the source of the
present water supply, and It Is estimated
that an excellent water system could be
put in at a cost of $100,000. Citizens are
geenrally quite worked up over what they
consider exorbitant water rates.

no one had given the signal to stop. The
engineer thought his hearing was good,
and he knew what he was talking about.
The train was started again; the engineer
I and conductor both being out of humor
in consequence of the unnecessary delay.

when the signal to stop again sounded,
and the engineer obeyed it promptly.

passing through the car, and had used It
for a swing, with the result above stated.
