gexea Election or Offi
ccrs to Be Held Today
8ALEM, Or.. Oct. 27. (Special.) The
Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs
today refused to adoot at this session
a resolution urging" the State Board of
Control to introduce the self-government
plan for prisoners at the Oregon
Penitentiary. The resolution was re
ferred to the committee on Institu
tions. The committee will report next
year.
With the prisoners' self-government
plan the convention referred a resolu
tion requesting the State Board of Con
trol to allow convicts unrestricted mail
privileges, and one providing for in
vestigation of the Penitentiary. The
restitutions committee was nstructed to
make a study of conditions at the pris
on and report next year.
Plan Deemi Unfeasible.
Deferring action on the resolutions
for prisoners self-government and un
restricted mail privilages came after
Oeorge Palmer Putnam, private secre
tary to the Governor, had told the con
vention that both proposals were not
feasible. As a member of the parole
board, Mr. Putnam was asked to give
his views of the resolutions. He ex
plained that the present management of
the Penitentiary was desirous of giving
prisoners the best opportunities pos
sible under the circumstances, that
their treatment was just in all respects,
and that the . fullest investigation of
the prison by the Federation would be
welcomed.
Opposition which developed to a
resolution favoring physical examina
tion of both men and women obtaining
marriage licenses, led to its being
referred to the legislative committee.
The convention killed the latter part of
the resolution which urged legislation
requiring the male applicant for a mar
riage license to prove his ability to
support a wife and himself, and oblig
ing the woman to pass an examination
in domestic science and nursing.
Public Kindergartens Favored,
That school boards should provide
kindergartens in the schools was urged
in a resolution adopted unanimously
Another favoring the discontinuance of
Kinging instructions in kindergartens
was killed, as was one urging that mu
sic teachers In t he public schools be
f proved ability.
The convention adopted a resolution
indorsing the movement for raising
$100,000 to construct a building for
women at the University of Oregon,
but refused to urge the clubs in the
federation to extend financial aid, on
the ground that this was a question
for the individual club to decide.
The session tqnight was devoted to
listening to reports from; the , clubs in
the federation.
The convention will elect officers to
morrow, the final day of the conven
tion. So fa rbut two candidates for
president are mentioned prominently.
They are Mrs. C. H. Castner, of Hood
River, and Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, of
Portland.
Iand Grant Explanled.
Speaking on the subject of the Ore
iron & California Railroad land grant
and the water-power problem in the
West, tieorge Palmer Putnam explained
the history of the grant and toKA of the
results of the recnet conference held
here. Mr. Putnam emphasized the fact
that Oregon is united in its opposition
to any action which would throw the
lands back into the forest reserve. He
declared also that the suggestion that
the government buy the lands from
the railroad would be inimical to the
state's interests if followed. The
speaker dwelt briefly on the question
on water-power development in the
West, and told of the purpose of the
Ferris bill.
An interesting address was given by
Frank S. Grant, of Portland, who spoke
n "Pronerty Rights of Women." Fol
lowing his address, he replied to ques
tions put by delegates. Miss Fannie
Harley spoke on "The Folly of Fash
ion." urging her hearers to think of
the more vital things of life.
That the child had a right to good
nealth and an education was the decla
re Hon of Mrs. Millie Trumbull, who
Kpoke on the "Rights of Children. iihe
spoke vigorously for the stringent en
forcement of the child labor laws and
declared that women everywhere should

legislation.
TloMpltal for cripple Advocated.
Mrs. P. I Campbell told of the work
being done for crippled children and
expressed the hope that a hospital for
their care might be established in Port
land. She urged that the state should
provide for the maintenance of such an
institution.
Mrs. Sarah A. Kvans. speaking on
"The Child That Should Never Have
Been Born," told the convention that
the feebleminded and defective were in
creasing in the United States. She
said that the Oregon Federation should
recommend legislation looking toward
the solution of the question.
Through the scholarship loan fund
of the federation. Mw. Frederick Kg
gert, of Portland, said S5 girls had
hern assisted in obtaining an educa
tion during the last year. Mrs. George
Gerlinger. a regent of the University
of Oregon, made a plea for assistance
