DISCORD LONG BREWING Clubwomen Declare Fight la for Just lleprcssentation federation Members Insist Trouble Must Be Settled by Branch Body. ' That something deeper than mere personal feeling between Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden and Mrs. Mary L. Stevens is in dicated in the trouble that has been Ibrewing in the Political Science Club, was the statement of several of the members of that organization who dis cussed the question yesterday. Hints were made that the effect of the discord caused by the alleged with holding of Mrs. Hidden's credentials would be noticed in the future when club conventions should, be held. Two of the most prominent women if the State Federation declared yes terday that the federation would have nothing to do with the Political Science Cliib's "row." 4Tt is their business 3iow; let them settle it," said one of the women. "Their troubles should have been told to the convention at the proper time. That time is now passed and the federation will keep . hands off." Members Are Puzzled. If the state board does not take up the dispute, the club members are vondering what will happen. Will Mrs. r-tevens resign? Has the club a presi lpnt? Was the "continued meeting" of Tuesday legal? Will the airing of the troubles be for the good of the club nd presage a season of worth-while work, or will it disrupt the organiza tion? These are some of the questions being asked- by various members. Mrs. Thomas Hawkes, first vice-president of the club, in commenting upon the action of the Political Science Club, paid: "My idea is that, instead of this ibeingr a. personal affair, there is a great principle involved to bring about just representation for the various clubs throughout the state." Club Principle at Stake. Mrs. Laniel Grant, second vice-presi-ifient of the club, said yesterday: "We do not consider this as an issue of personalities, but as a club principle. 'We legally elected Mrs. Hidden an Alternate from the Political Science dub, and when she went to the state convention at Salem our club was de prived of due representation, to which we were entitled." . Mrs. E. F. Mullay, one of the club members, said: "In regard to the club's refusal to accept the report of the cre dentials committee, the committee was Appointed illegally, being ch03en by the president, consisting of her friends, come of whom were showing marked preference for her in her position. We believed they would not investigate and report with justice. Our alternate was legally chosen and did not get her cre dentials, although she was unanimous ly elected by the club and no person had the authority to restrain her." Mr. Lora Diamond, secretary of the club, also said that it is not a personal matter, but one of club principle that has caused the subject of Mrs. Hid den's'credentials to be discussed. Friend Take I'p Queatlon. "Her friends insisted that an explana tion he made." said Dr. Diamond. "We felt that some reason should be given why the club was so slighted. Mrs. Hidden did not want to make trouble about this affair. She did not want to insist on getting the credentials. That is the reason why she did not bring it up at the state convention. But her club friends insisted that it be brought cut in the Political Science Club and that an understanding be arrived at." Jn speaking of the meeting of Tues day, Dr. Diamond said: "The regular meeting was dismissed illegally, as time was not given to register the vote m the question before the house. The meeting was then continued by the calling of the club to order by the sec retary. The president was asked to fill the chair and refused. The vice-president being unable to- take the chair, Mrs. Kortiner was appointed to pre side. After this the meeting proceeded in regular order, and, an amendment being made to the resolutions, instead of impeaching the president, we asked her to resign. The meeting then closed in regular form to meet next Tues day. The reason we wanted to con tinue the session was to get the dis agreeable subject over and get on a tirmer basis." BANKRUPT'S WIFE SUED JProperly Alleged to Be Firm's Is Sought by Trustee. L. H. Hamig. as trustee in bank ruptcy for J. X. and H. 13. Besseleu. partners under the firm name of Bes seleu Bros., instituted suit in the United States District Court against Mrs. Clara J. Besseleu, wife of J. N. Besseleu. . The complaint alleges that the part nership was forced into bankruptcy last May with liabilities of :!944.37 and assets of only $208.60. The asser tion is then made that the plaintiff has information that J. X. Besseleu has transferred to his wife 40 acres in Clackamas County, worth $10,000, which should properly be listed as one of the firm's "assets. The court is asked to enter a decree transferring- the 40 acres to the assets of the partnership. DALY'S PEN ECONOMICAL Jiluepenfiliiis of Reports for City Annual Threatens New Squabble. Kroin a financial standpoint. City Commissioner Daly makes a good edi tor. He yesterday completed a blue penciling crusade against matter sub mitted by other Commissioners to go in the annual printed city reports for 2 914 and cut out enough to save $1000 In the cost of printing the report, he says. From an editorial standpoint, some of the other Commissioners do not think he is so clever. There probably will be another Councilmanic squabble over the proposition of the blue-penciling having been too extensive. C. R. MORSE LEADS CLUB California Musician-Athlete Is Di recting Glee Concerts. The success which has crowned the efforts of the University of California Glee Club, which comes to Washington High School Friday night, November Vi, has been due in large measure to Clinton K. Morse, more familiarly known as "Brick"' Morse,. Morse is probably as interesting a personage as ever graduated from Berkelev. While In college he was one of the greatest au-rouna athletes of his time and still shares with "Orvie" Overall the dis tinction of being the only man to win his big "C" in three branches of ath letics. v Possessed of a remarkable voice, Morse studied music in Paris for six years after graduation and came back to Berkeley one of the best musicians on the Pacific Coast. He immediately retnrned to Glee Club work, now in the capacity of director, and since then has built up a club of singers which it is said compares favorably with any or ganization of its kind in the world. This has been proved by two successive tours of the musical centers of Europe. "Brick" Morse will personally con duct the Glee Club concert here on Kriday evening at Washington High School. The University of California Alumni of Portland will attend the concert, as will some members of the Apollo Club. The Glee Club is accom panying the California football team on its northern trip.
