The election of officers, although two days off and the report tomorrow of the nominating committee, absorbed the attention to night of the 10,000 delegates, alternates and visitors attending the 13th biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, in session here. Al though it la unofficially reported that Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, of Cali fornia, and Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, of Ohio, will be reported as the only can didates for the presidency. It Is ex pected that a large number of the Illinois delegation said to be pledged to Mrs. Cowles will bolt and propose as the state's candidate Mrs. George Bass, of Chicago. Mrs. Bass has announced that she will permit her name to come before the convetnion. Members of the board of directors, it was learned from a reliable source, op posed the entrance of "dark horses" into the contest and for this reason to morrow's session is looked forward to with more than ordinary interest.

Massachu setts, which next to Illinois has the largest number of delegates, also has declared for Mrs. Cowles. , Delegates from most of the Southern states, heretofore claimed by Mrs. fmeath's supporters, insisted tonight that there had been "a sudden shift to Mrs. Cowles because of rumors circu lated regarding Mrs.. Sneath's alleged intention of permitting the Federated Negro Women's Clubs of the South to join the federation. Both Mrs. Sneath and Mrs. Cowles issued statements that the negro question plays no part in the campaign. There will be no contests for the other offices, a member of the board of directors said tonight, except for that of auditor, to which Mrs. William P. Harper, of Seattle, and Mrs. Sarah Kvans, of Portland. Or., aspire. Miss George A. Bacon, of Worcester,, is as yet unopposed for first vice-president. Offices Are Continued.

TREACHERY IX SESSIOX HIXTED Politics Overshadows All Else in Federation, Says Telegram. Politics at the General Federation of Women's Clubs biennial convention, now in session in New York City, is overshadowing all else, according to a telegram received yesterday by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, past president of the . Oregon Federation. However, one important and radical piece of legislation has been adopted in the Iowa measure which provides that there shall be one director elected from each state to the official board. The measure went through with flying colors, but no provision has been made for financing the change. "Every state will now be represent ed." said Mrs. Evans, "and I believe this is one of the most important acts of the convention, for it will bring each state in close touch with the workings of the General Federation." , The same telegram announced that the chances of Airs. Josiah Evans Cowles for the presidency "look good," but that there was much trading of votes and that politics at the biennial, as well as elsewhere, "are treacher ous." Mrs. Cowles Is the candidate backed by Oregon, hence the women of this Etate are deeply interested in her. Mrs. Sneath, who was here last Summer, has many admirers among, the clubwomen, and both are regarded by those who are intimately acquainted with club affairs as splendid women. Mrs. Evans and Mrs. W. P. Harper, the latter of Seattle, are both being mentioned for the office of auditor. Mrs. Evans has not said whether or not ehe will allow her name to be used. Mrs. Hildreth. president of the New York Federation, is said to be one of her strong supporters. All Mrs. Evans will say on the subject is: "I shall stand firmly by Mrs. Cowles and shall not do one thing to hurt her candidacy. Loyal, ty win be first with the Oregon delega tion."

Eliseo Arredon do, the Mexican ambassador-designate, with whom Mendez conferred, said that none of hi3 messages from the foreign office contained any mention, of a new note. Word that the new note was coming and that it probably would renew the suggestion that American troops be withdrawn from Mexicon, reached the department last week.

FIRST WOOL RECEIVED EUGENE MILL GETS 4O0.000 POUNDS OF SPRING CLIP. Only Oresron Product TJaed and Plant Equipped to Turn Raw Material Into Finished Goods. ETjGENE, Or., May 29. (Special.) The first of the Spring clip, of Oregon wool has been received at the Eugene woolen mill, which la now operating with day and night shifts. This mill uses Oregon wool exclusively and buys between 350,000 and 400,000 pounds an nually, The mill is making fewer fancy ma terials this year. E. Koppe, the man ager, says this is due to a demand for staples, which has developed because of difficulty experienced by buyers In procuring fancy materials In which good dyes have been used. The increased cost of dyes Is playing an important part in the cost of woolen goods. Logwood dye has increased to 10 times its former price. Coal tar dyes, manufactured largely In Germany, have advanced to almost prohibitive figures. The Eugene woolen mill is now using about $1500 worth of dye every month. The woolen mill on the Paolfic Coast Is a different institution from the Eastern mill. There the manufacture is segregated into branches and one company will 3o only dyeing, or only carding, spinning or weaving; the ma terial is sold from one manufacturer to another and each will have machin ery only for a single operation. Oregon mills are equipped to take the raw ma terial from the producer and turn out the finished product. ROSE SHOW ,IS JULY 15 Pendleton Arranges Display for Mid-Blooming Season. PENDLETON, Or..
