The voting on the three questions put to the members of the Council of Presidents resulted In according the federation the privilege of Its lecture program, with power to decide bow many and what sort of addresses to present.

The third point, which dealt with similar entertainment arranged for profit by the Individual members of the federation being, on motion by Mrs. Lowensteln and seconded by Mrs. R. K. LeHlond, referred to a committee of the Council of Presidents for solution within a fortnight.

Thus a new era of usefulness and inspiration arose with the closing of last years' page and the opening of a fresh one. upon which a still greater effort, an even wider unanimity of sentiment, a still more noticeable progress toward a common goal, promises to be written. The awards of the flower show-found a ready echo In the minds of the members. For artistic arrangement the blue ribbon went to tho Wyoming club, the red to the Glen-dale Garden ('rafters' Club, the white to tho Terrace Park Gurden Club. The Jury consisted of Mr.

Ernest Cruce Haswell, the well-known sculptor; Mrs. W. J. R. Alexander, the clever critic and sculptor, and Mr.

Stewart Todd, the much-admired designer of batik wall panels. For the best specimens of tulips, three of one kind, the victory was s-llotted by the blue ribbon to the Wyoming Garden Club, red to tho Garden Circle of tho Cincinnati Woman's Club, white to the Glcndalo Garden ('rafters.

Mrs. George Dana the President of the Federation and of the Cincinnati Garden CIu1 as well, presided with a graciousness which never deserts her. the proceedings being crowded with Interest and Information.

The Dayton Garden Club, represented by 14 of Its members, were welcomed enthusiastically, and their Invitation to the federation to hold Its next annual meeting in the tiein City, on the Miami, wns accepted with alacrity. The report of this sister Institution In the federation's large family was greeted with prolonged applause. It was announced that the Dayton Garden Club had recently been taken into the Garden Club of America, which In itself Is a distinction, and that, besides Its many other activities clearly defined, It had raised a fund of $1,000 for the Road of Remembrance through a series of luncheons. The appearance of Colonel Sherrlll, who came on from his address to the Civic and Vocational Irfaftue, was the signal for a flattering demonstration In his honor, his impromptu little speech being listened to with evident satisfaction. He said thiit he felt very close to the Garden Club of America, for he had addressed that unification of the iiinutctir flower lovers of the country at their annual session in Philadelphia, while his ex perlence with the garden clubs of Washington while he was th head of public parks and buildings was not only close and bcnellclul, but a very happy one.

lie ventured the belief that the same Influences' here could be of equal benefit to his aspirations for his adopted city with tho co-operntlon of the members of the federation. He approved the public spirited labors which this organization has already accomplished and voiced the hope that In addition to theso well-directed efforts that this membership would stand solidly behind the civic beautiflcation commissions nnd the "clean up and paint up" movements of the municipality. In this he stressed two of the projects which he declared were dear to tho Garden Club of America and should be equally so to all similar solidarities tho elimination of billboards outside the business district and the redemption from ugliness of the unsightly spaces of city and suburbs wherever found. Women, he vouchsafed, with his soft South Carolinian accent, growing more pronounced as ho uttered this gallantry, wero a mlshty force, and anything that they might do with undivided ranks will, he Insisted, carry conviction and obtain results a parting in junction which everyone present took to heart. Mrs.

Charles W. Boswortfi, Chair-man of the Road of Remembrance Board of Administration for Ohio, excited the greatest attention and applause by that which her report revealed. She described the extent of this work and expressed the appreciation of her associates for the assistance It, dwelling particu larly upon the 2,000 trees which have been put out since that first Arbor Day a year ago, when the tribute to Coates. spiritualist, had confided that the White House, as well as several Senators, were on her list. The statement rankled Mrs.

Coates at the time, as did other testimony at the uproarious session. She sought, In fact, to lift her voice above the babble that prevailed and repudiate Miss Mackenberg, but insofar as the record was concerned, her efforts were without avail. This turn of events waa most embarrassing to Mrs. Coates, for she subsequently wrote a letter of explanation to the White House. What she really did tell Miss Mackenberg, Mrs.

Coates subsequently explained to reporters, was that Houdinl's bill seeking to outlaw Spiritualists, mediums and clairvoyants would have a "fat chance of being passed when seances were quite the fad right here in the shadow of the White House." Miss Mackenberg threw the names of several Senators Into the hullabaloo, too that Is, Senators whom Mrs. Coates had told her were on the list. They were Senators Capper, Kansas; Watson, Indiana; Dill. Washington, and Fletcher, of Florida. Mrs.

Fletcher, for that matter, attended the hearing. Vying with Mrs. Coates for honors In the array of denials that coursed Miss Mackenberg's testimony was "Mme. Marcla, astrologlst. The two differed, however, in that Mme.

Marcla retained her sense of humor. She minced her denunciatory shafts with laughter. It is not really Houdlnl's bill which has thrown three committee hearings Into turmoil. It Is one Introduced in the House by Representative Sol Bloom, of New York, and In the Senate by Senator Royal S. Copeland, of the same state.

But the magician Is spokesman. At each of the three hearings, the magician has drawn a mixed and Inimical vcrowd of Spiritualists, mediums and clairvoyants. Today's hearing; was no exception. They occupied all the chairs and squatted on the floor, and kept up a running fire against the magician. He was plain spoken about them, saying emphatically that they were all "a bunch of crooks and liars." Mrs.

Coates' ordeal came when the Investigator for the magician began to relate alleged Interviews she had with the spiritualist and Mme. Marcla. Chairman McLeod, of Michigan, assured the spiritualist that she would be heard at the next session Thursday. MARRIAGE LICENSE DENIED To Youth, 17, and Widow, 43, Despite Parental Consent. Lancaster, Ohio, May 18 (A.

On the eve of his departure for a visit to Ireland, Stephen J. Dugan, Norwood, a watchman at the Provi dent Hank Building, finds himself made the defendant In a divorce and alimony suit filed by Anna K. Dow- dell Dugan, whom he married January 3, 1920. Through Attorney W. R.

Collins. Mrs. Dugan says that a week after their marriage Dugan began to find fault with her and continually compared her to his first wife, who Is dead, these comparisons always being to her disparagement, she says. Shortly after their marriage, she avers, Dugan said that if she would assist In saving money he would take her on a trip to Ireland, and she saved every penny she could and gave the money to him. She says Dugan drew all of this money.

April 8, she says, he attacked her, and on April 14 left her, saying he never Intended to re turn. Now, she says, he has arranged to sail for Ireland June 4, and Instead of taking her with him he Is taking one Maggie J. Simpson, W'orcester. whom he claims to be his sister. However, Mrs.

Dugan declares she "does not believe" she is his sister, for. she asserts, she Has learned that he has engaged passage in the names of Mr. and Mrs. Dugan. She avers that Dugan informed her when they were married that he had $11,000 worth of property.

She demands alimony out of this. After a married life of 31 years, during which she bore him six children, who now are living, Hculah Crist is suing for a divorce and alimony from Allie Crist, Sprlngdale. and also Is asking for the custody of their three minor children. Through Attorney David Pierce, Mrs. Crist says they were married August 1, 1896, and got along happily until the Inst five years.

Crist, she says, was a prosperous farmer and owned several hundred acres of farm 'land in Butler and other counties, and he also had valuable livestock and farming Implements. Then he began to speculate in the grain market, dealing in futures, with the result that he lost everything he had, she avers. Crist still continues his speculations In grain futures, she says, and thereby loses all he makes at farming. As a result, she asserts, she has been compelled to support the iamily by raising and selling poultry and eggs, selling butter, and keeping boarders when she could get them. In return for this, she says, Crist has Blven nothing but abuse And curses, fre quently telling her he wished she would leave him, and as a result of his action she says she has become sffllcted with a nervous trouble and frequently Is ill.

The plaintiff states that Crist has 80 acres of growing wheat, 20 acres of rye and 40 acres of corn planted, which will mature this year, but which Is mortgaged partly to Russell Campbell, of Preble Counts', and she asked that Crist be enjoined from further mortgaging or( disposing of this. Judge Charles W. Hotrman issued a temporary injunction. In her suit for a divorce from John Lyons, to whom she was married in 1910, Matilda Lyons, through Attorney Alfred Pfau, says he refused to work, and her daughter by a former marriage had to work to support all three of them. She says she tolerated and endured this until 1914, when her daughter refused longer to support Lyons, then she demanded that he provide a home for her.

Instead, she says, he left her. He only returned to ask her for money, and now has been willfully absent for more than three years, she asserts. Sues Husband's Relatives. Judgment for $58,807.13 is demanded by Mrs. Mary Pennock Calerdine, 988 Marion avenue, wife of John R-Calerdine, In a suit filed in Common Pleas Court yesterday against Mrs.

Mary Calerdine, Hotel Alms her husband's mother, and William T. Calerdine, 753 North Crescent avenue, brother of her husband, who, she asserts, were responsible for her husband removing securities valued at that amount from the Jurisdiction here, thereby preventing her holding them upon her claim for alimony. Mrs. Calerdine says her husband abandoned her before January 16, 1924, and has refused to provide for her and their children, and on that date, through his attorney, he negotiated a settlement with her, proposing to settle upon her $50,000 if she would not file suit against him for alimony. On the same date, she asserts, her husband's mother and brother entered Into -an agreement with her, promising, she avers, that If she would refuse the offer of settlement from her husband, they would see to It that securities upon which he expected to realise the amount would be held In their hands.

These securities consisted of 179 shares of Dayton and Michigan Rail road Company preferred and 100 shares of common, 30 shares of Cincinnati and Suburban Bell Telephone Company stock and 250 shares of Little Miami Railroad stock. This stock wqs left under the will of Calerdine's father, Thomas It. Calerdine, who died in 1914, John R. Calerdine to have the remainder interest after the i Mr. Raker as security for payment of two notes aggregating $45,000 given In connection with the divorce settlement contract.
