THE. MORNES'G OREGOXIAX,- WEDXESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1915. GOHGESS UN ID E WESTERN WOMEN Temperance Union Gives to Board Power to Set Early Meeting When Advisable. MEMBERSHIP GAIN IS BIG Nearly 225,000 Xew Pledges Are rteporled Constitutional Amend ment Commits Body 3fore Strongly to Prohibition. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 12. The Na tional convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union today re fused to change the annual meeting time from the closing1 three months of the year to Spring, by defeating a constitutional amendment making the proposed change. The l-'ar West's dele gates pleaded for early conventions, in order that the Western representatives might obtain excursion rates when the conventions were held in the East. They urged also that the time of women in "enfranchised West," and to an increasing extent in the East, should be given to campaign work in the Autumn. As a concession to this argument, the constitution was amended so as to give the official board power to set an early meeting date when the situation made the change advisable. The convention amended the pream ble of the constitution so as to commit the organization more strongly ' to "legal prohibition and complete ban ishment of the liquor traffic." Representation Basis rnchanged. An amendment to the constitution fixing the basis of representation of states in the National convention at one delegate for 800 members, instead of 500, as at present, was overwhelm ingly defeated. Rhode Island and Xew Hampshire begged the big states to be fair, and won. At the morning session Mrs. Stella B. Irvine, of Riverside, Cal., superin tendent of the department of Sunday school work, reported a pledged mem bership of 1.845.944, an increase of 224. 123 members of Sunday schools who have this year signed the pledge. More than 16,000 entire families are pledged to total abstinence, an increase of 7200 during the year. Signatures to the Sunday school peti tion to Congress for the National pro hibition amendment are being obtained At R nrnHttrmno rata Tonight's session was given over to addresses by organizers and lecturers, the general subject being "Total Ab stinence as Foundation Work." Among the speakers were Mrs. Addie B. Par sels, Philadelphia; Miss Roen Shaner, Jackson, Mo.; Mrs. Adah Wallace Unruh, Portland. Or., and Mrs. Lora S. La mance. Joplin, Mo. Chicago Mayor to Be Invited. The convention tonight, on motion of the president. Miss Anna A. Gordon, adopted by rising vote a resolution instructing the Illinois delegation to meet Mayor William Hale Thompson and his associates on their arrival in Seattle tomorrow and invite them to visit the convention during the after noon. Miss Gordon read to the convention a dispatch from Springfield, 111., tell ing of the suit begun by attorneys identified with the liquor interests to test the validity of the Illinois suf frage law, and said: "We are not afraid of this suit. We are mighty glad the liquor men are bo stirred. Their action is a strong argument in favor of giving the ballot to women." V. C. T. TJ.

Davenport Hotel, of Spokane, Pacific Coast and Alaska Steamship Com panies Delinquent. CLYMP1A, Wash., Oct, 12. (Special.) Lists containing th6 names of SSg persons and firms who have failed to take out state liquor licenses for the current year beginning July 1 have been sent by the State Tax Commis sion to 29 county prosecutors, with re quests that prosecutions be instituted within a week. Objection of licensees to payment of a full year's fee when the liquor business, except for drug stores, will be cut off January 1. has made the process of collection com paratively slow, and the determination of the Tax Commission to collect the license fee before any of the firms in question have opportunity to go out of business will result In the largest I number of prosecutions ever Instituted The Davenport Hotel, of Spokane, the Pacific Coast and Alaska Steamship companies and many larse wholesale houses are among the delinquents last year. Even United States Marshal James E. McGovern, of the Eastern Washington district, whose own time is largely devoted to apprehending liquor dealers who fail to take out Federal licenses, may be a victim un der the state law, for the tax commis sion files show that the drug firm of McGovern-Harrls Company, of Wilbur, in which the Marshal is reputed still to b interested, is among the delin quents. Eour delinquents are reported in Clarke County. NEW CROP IS ADVOCATED Estacada Club Hears Merits of Broc coli Discussed by Experts. OREGOX CITT. Or. Oct. 12. (Spe cial.) A. G.
