Convention at Los
Opens With a Boom.
CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENCY.
Mrs. Burdctte of California and Mrs.
| Denis of New York Are Mentioned.
| P. E. O. Delegate Is Turned Down.
Debate on Color Line.
*
i
Log Angeles , May 2. The formal
opening of the club women's conven
tion yesterday morning was markedly
brilliant. Hundreds of delegates and
visitors packed the Simpson nudltot-
lum to the roof , the Interior was embel
lished with 60,000 calla lilies and
representative American women sat
on the platform while the usual happy
greetings were exchanged between
hostesses and guests. The opening
day was otherwise distinguished by
two separate questions which would
liavo developed Into sensations hud
they reached the convention. One of
them , which got ns far as the board of
directors , had to do with turning down
a delegate from a secret society. The
other , which concerned the possible
unseating of Mrs' , Roberts of Salt Lake
City , wife of the former congressman
from Utah , In the event that she
should try to appear as a delegate , was
squelched.
The first affair , which affects a na
tional organization of 8,000 members ,
came up before the board of di
rectors In the morning. Mrs. II. C.
McMahon of Salt Lake City , It seems ,
, had been appointed delegate from the
P. E. O. chapter In that city , which
had applied lor admission to the gen
eral federation and she had received
her credentials. But at the last minute
Mrs. Denlson , as a member of the
membership committee , discovered
that secret societies were not admls-
slble and so notified the delegates.
Before the board acknowledged her
error , Mrs. McMahon , Instead of pushIng -
Ing her claims , withdrew amicably on
two conditions. One was that the
membership committee shoulder the
mistake and she be seated In the con
vention , notwithstanding a vote was
denied her. The Roberts matter has
been simmering ever since Mrs. Rob
erts said she , as president of the
Authors' club , In Salt Lake city , would
lie a delegate to the convention by
virtue of her office. Mrs. Roberts
changed her mind before an underly
ing current of protest came to the sur
face and stayed at home. It Is under
stood , however , that a prominent east-
crn woman had been Importuned by
"Utah women to lead the fight In the
event Mrs. Roberts undertook to press
her rights. In the meantime the real
skeleton , the colored question , will
make away with enough time in the
course of convention events. The ru
mor having Started in California that
Mrs. Ruffln intended to come to Los
Angeles impelled Mrs. Anna West , one
of the leaders in Massachusetts , to
seek a denial through the Associated
Press.
Undoubtedly one feature that largely
made impressive the opening session
was the floral scheme only possible In
the land of flowers. The calla lilies
not only banked solidly the back of
the platform , but the two balconies
their entire length , while great clus
ters were tied to every aisle seat In
the house.
The state banners , placed hero and
there to designate the ( relegations
added to the picturesqueness. The
women lined upon the platform , more
over , were charmingly gowned , Mrs
Lowe leading off with a stunning crea
tion In black and white. After Invoca
tlon , by Mrs. Chester P. Darlnnd
addresses of welcome wore given bj
Governor Henry T. Gage , Mayor M. P
Snyder , Miss Kate A. Bulkeley of Oak
. land , president of the California Feder
ntion. and Mrs. Joslah Cowles , presl
dent of the local biennial board. Mrs
Lowe responded in so gracious , a man
. ner as to call out rounds of applause
Then came greetings from fraternal
delegates.
Mrs. Denis of New York and Mrs
Robert Burdette of California are can
dldatcs for the presidency.

PROHIBITION A SUCCESS.
Governor Stanley Says Dry Laws
Have Benefited Young Men.
Topeka , May 2. It is 21 years ago
today since prohibition was adopted In
Kansas. Governor Stanley discussed
the effects of prohibition as follows :
"Prohibition In Kansas has been
marked by very beneficial results ant'
this Is apparent to anyone who will
travel through Kansas and through
out any of the license states that nvaj
bo selected , nnd note the difference li
the types of young men In the two
states. There are thousands of young
men in Kansas who never saw a sa
loon and will avoid it , if for no other
reason , because It Is under the ban _ of
the law. There are thousands ot mei
who would probably patronize the sa
loon If sanctioned by the law. "

day to got the government to pledge
Itself to prevent the transfer of Ilrlt-

ing the report of the committee recent

quire "into the subject. The govein-
ment leader , A. J Hulfour. pointed

forred to was very serious , but such n
drastic change could not be under
taken lightly.
