DOESN'T KNOW IF HABIT IS GROWING Convention t There Rema! & Rejolce Over. ' GINCINNATI, Nov. 13.—The thirteenth annua! convention of the Woman's Chris- tan Temperance union began & session of six days here today with a very large at- tendance, the 0 delegates constituting only o small part of the visitors, At 8: prayer meetings and conferences were held. Mrs. J. J. Trego, national evangelist, was the leader of the opening devotional exer- clses. The purlly oconference, of which Mrs. lielen L. Bullock was leader, was addressed by Mrs. C. E. Hunt of Illinols and others. The Tenth Street Baptist church Wwas crowded when President Stevens called the convention to order at 9:30 a. m. Following the crusade psa'm and the crusade hymn, prayer was oftered by Dr. Willlam J. Mo~ Surly of Oxford. After the roll call by Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman of Missourl the reports of the executive and other committees were presented. Addresses of welcome and re- sponses were made and telegrams and let- ters read. Then Mrs. Lilllan N. M. Stevens of Portland, Me., national president, deliv- ered her address, reviewing the victories and the defeats of the year, and touching, with some apparent reluctance, the prob- lem of a spread of the wine-drinking habit among women. taken with good prospects of success to in- duce Parliament to abolish barmaids, 80,000 of whom are employed in the British is.es.

This dl bout by & combination of 'y, the unstinted work of the liquor fra- ternity of the country, and the deceived and bewlldered condition of some of the voters of these states. One of the pamph- lets circulated by tho liquor bureau was “The Theory of Fronibitio: by & minister. s a blighting shame that asvone pro- fessing (o be a_minister of the gospel of our Lord and Savior should formulate a “theory”” which could be used by the liquor interests of the country to promote its dia~ bolical trade. Falthful work has been done making sentiment in favor of an anti-polygamy amendment to the constitution of the Inited States.

Concerning Women Who Drink. The question, “Is liquor drinking among women increasing ! is hard to answer. We surely hear more about drinking women than formerly, perhaps from the fact inat President Stev: Undaunted.

This does nciude the work of the state or local organizers. The receipts of the Willard memorial fund were $4,13%. A larger num- ber of Women's Christlan Temperance unfon instutes were held during the past year than ever before. Eleven states have made a gain of 600 or over new members above all losses, and some of them well on toward 3,00 new members, which goes to prove that the Women's Christian Tem- | perance union 15 marching on with a regu- lar and measured swing.

Y.), chair- man of the committee on ways and means, reported the Cuban bill and gave notice that on Monday he would call it up for consideration. By unanimous consent the minority of the ways and means committee was given further time In which to submit a minority report. Mr. Payne stated that the agreement with the minority was that the Cuban bill be considered until 4 p. m. Thursday, when a vote will be taken. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Livernash (Cal) arose to a question of personal privilege. Reading from manuscript, he began by saying: Indications are that in the Panama- Colombla matter the president is Invading a constitutional prerogative of the con- gress, and it seems of high importance to the dignity and Importance and authority Of“l.:lll house that doubt be dispelied forth- with, Mr. Payne rose to a point of order and insisted that the question of privilege be stated first. The speaker suggested that a resolution would Inform the house as to what question the gentleman desired to present. He finully sustained the point of order, cries of “regular order” being heard on the republican side. On motion of Mr. Payne the house adjourned. Ways and Means Committee Report. The house committee on ways and means today authorized a favorable report on the bill making effective the Cuban reclprocity treaty by a vote of 14 to 2. Mr. Metcalf, rep. (California), was present, but did not vote and Mesars, Robertson, dem. (La.), and !

One extended the provisions of the treaty to all other countries. The other abolished the aifferential duty on refined sugar. The report says: The enactment of the bill into law is necessary to give effect to the convention providing for reciprocal trade between this country and Cuba. This results not merely because the convention itself provides that it shall not take effect until the same shall have been approved by the congress, but hecause the constitution gives no power to the president and the senate to make a convention or treaty changing the rates of revenue. That power now is expressly 1odged in the congress. 1t is not intended here to cite authorities or advance reasons on this proposition. The records of congress abound with unrefuted arguments on the affirmative of this con- nection and the practice of congress has been uniformly in the same direction The president has deemed the subject of sufficient importance (o convene an ex- traordinary session of congress in_ order that the convention may become effective before the commencement of the harvest of the new sugar crop in December.

To Study Election Lawns. Representative Dick of Ohlo introduced a resolution today which, after reciting the | 1aw regulating suffrage and alluding to fhe | curtatlment of the suffrage privilege in the United States, says: Resolved, That the matter be referred to the committes on election provinces, vice resident and represeniatives, whose duty t shall be, and who shall have full power to Investigate and inquire Into the vaildity | of the election laws of the several states and the matter of thelr enforcement and whether the right to vote at any election for the cholce of electors for president and vice president of the United States, representatives In congress, and the mem- bers of the legislature of any state is de- | nied to the male inhabitants of any of | the states being 21 years old and a citizen i of the United Btates, except for participa- tion in rebellion or other crime. Sald com- | mittee shall have power to subpoena and | examine witnesses under oath and send | for records and other evidences that may be necessary for a full and complete in- vestigation of the several subjects herein mentfoned, and it shall be authorized to sit under the sessions of the house and to have such printing and binding done as it shall deem necessary and it shall make a full report to the house of the result of the investigation at as early date as is possible.
