C. CONTROL Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall Charges Miss Burroughs With Grabbing Scheme Washington, D. a "tempest in a teapot" is being here just now as a result of the clash between Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the National Training School for Girls, and Mrs.

Marie Madre Marshall the Disof Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, on the question of a suggested merger of the Distret Fedcration and the City Federation, which is presided over by Mrs. Laura Joiner. Mrs. Marshall precipitated clash by a letter written to one of the local papers charging that Miss Burroughs is engineering a scheme to domination over the women's clubs here, or, as she puts it, "trying to grab the women's Federation. The mixup dates back to tarly ember, when Mrs.

Mary Mel.out Bethune, of Daytona, presided of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was in the city. At that time Miss Burroughs wrote women Marshall of and the Dr. District, including Airs. Joiner, asking to meet Mrs. Bethune at the Phillis Wheatley Y.

W. C. for a Sunday afternoon conference. The invitation was generally accepted and a large, number of women gathered. Mrs.

Marshall charges that instead of discussing program of club work, Miss Burroughs proposed merger of the City and District Federations, which proposal was apporved by Mrs. Bethune. The merger was perfected. But on thinking the matter over, Mrs. Marshall came to the conclusion that she had been buncoed and so sought a reconsideration.

In the meantime, members of the two organizations who were not present at the conference expressed the opinion that they should have been consulted. Mrs. Marshall then wrote local. papers charging Miss Burroughs with having decoyed the District organization into a trap, and also that Miss Burroughs was "trying to grab the Women's Federation." Miss Burroughs, who is a hard and gallant fighter always, did not fail to pick up the gauntlet, and 50 the "tempest in a tea pot" is boiling away. Mrs.

Bethune, meanwhile, is quitely sojourning at her school home, the DaytonaCookman Institute dow non the Florida East Coast. Greensboro, N. C. Greensboro, N. Chas.
