The great power and wide spread influence of that large body of women working together for the uplifting of humanity makes it necessary to retain the fellowship and good feeling of all cluba, ao that we cannot but look with ap prehension upon this problem, whk-h we believe If puahed to Immediate solution will cause discord in the general federa tion and poaaibly result in division and separation thereof, be It Resolved. That no amendment or change be made In the eonatltulon or bylaws of the general feneration at preaent. Heeelved. That no aubieac referring to race ot color be diacuaeed at the sixth biennial. Keaolved. That a ropy of these reaotu tlone be eent to each federation club ia the country for its indorsement.

Sine th Incident of four wees ngo there has bees a littles undercurrent cf feeling regarding the color queetion nod while Ike majority seem to be opposed to ths Instruction of delegate they a 10 feel that th club should discuss lb matter aad tak seme Stand one way or the other. This aot having beea done as yet, how over, th preaeatatioa of th Oraags reso lutions came very near precipitating s dls Cusalon ot ths Other question and ealltd Mrs. Ids Lsuder, aged 13, widow of Wil liam Lauder, who wss shot sod killed by Louts Oodola about a year ago, who re sided st ths corner of Twelfth snd Msson streets, was found desd la her home at I:$0 yesterday afternoon.

She urged that the women should not shirk their responsibility In ths mat ter, but they . should tak some attitude that meant something, adding "and let that something be our best Judgment of this great morsl Issue." Ther waa further opposition to the reso lutions on the ground that a later meet ing of th harmonising committee of th Massachusetts and Oeorgia federations had effected some arrangement that promised to afford om ground for reconciling ths proposed conflicting nmendments to ths constitution or at least affording sam mor mutual ground that th women might tk. Accordingly it wa decided that n com mittee be appointed to investigate th re ult of this latest conference and report to the club before any action bo taken re garding th Orange resolution. Somewhat to ths surprlss of many there was a motion to rescind ths isst years' action of the club in requiring the pay ment of SO cents for the admission of Omaha visitors at ths open meeting, ths motion coming from th woman whs had originally proposed this restriction upon Omaha guests. 6hs frsnkly admitted that while sh thought the plsn n good ons when h Introduced it. sh had changed her mind and considered tbst experience had proven It n failure.
