a. Howard of Palestine, Elected President of the Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy. She Is also President of the Board of Managers of the Confederate Woman's Homo at Austin. fered an amendment to article section 2. to make It conform to article 2.

section 3, of the general constitution, by Inserting after the words of the general association this sentence: "Chapter applicants must send their membership applications duly filled out to- the State president In application for a charter." This sentence, as It now stands, reads: "When the charter Is received such chapter becomes a member of the Texas division of the "United Daughters of tha Confederacy." The amendment was received and adopted by a rising vote. CONFEDERATE HJfRO DAY. Mrs. H. N.

Peters made a report on education, suggesting that a day be set aside by tha Stats of Texas to be known as "Confederate Hero Day," at which time the program will consist of chronicles of tha days of '61 and the brave men of that time. The committee pointed out that the ahtWren will be the only ones to keep alive the love their fathers and mothers feel for the Southland, and what we do for them will go down to posterity as a monument to our efforts. At this time the convention took tip the matter of raising funds for the Confederate Woman's home. There were stirring talks made by Mrs. Affleck and others In which It was mentioned that some few chapters had not made good their pledges of last year, and they were urged to redeem these pledges-at once.

A subscription that followed resulted In the raising of $83 for the home. The givers were enthusiastic, many chapters giving as much as J100. Quite a number of cnapters reported that they had not Instructed on this point, but that they would contribute their proportion to the cause-Report by Mrs. Winkler on Confederate museum at Richmond was read before the convention by Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, who prefaced her remarks by a brief description of the Texas room at the museum.

This room, according to Mrs. Stone, Is on the third floor of the building, and It Is the same" In which that beloved daughter of the Confederacy, Winnie Davis, was born. There are three windows In the room and these have been memorialised. One is that of the Texas cavalry, another Hood's Texas brigade and the third rtowltng. Mrs.

Stone explained TTj Winkler had done her work with out little help, and was deserving of the highest commendation at the hands of the division. IllneBs prevented attending the convention at this time. She en read the report which gave a comprehensive review of the work In the WANTS HATZ OF FAME. Mrs. Murdock gained recognition and said she had been approached by Brownwood parties who wanted tha Hall of Fame located here; that she had told them that such an arrangement would suit her since they had shown such a disposition to capture the Daffan school.

She said that the Brownwood people had been so good to the daughters that she felt that nothing was too good for Brownwood. With but an hour intermission for lunch the convention was again called to order at i o'clock. Miss Daffan asked all the officers past and present to occupy Beats on the platform, which request was complied with. An Invitation from the Brownwood Commercial club to drive over the city upon adjournment at 4 o'clock was read and accepted by a vote of thanks. The convention sang "America," aftar wlncn chapter representatives were called for by the chair.

A handsome basket of fruit was presented to the convention by the Willing Workers of Brownwood. which was accepted with a vote of thanks. The president announced that Invitations from cities for the next meettnf would be considered. Marlin was the first to be recognised. This was followed by invitations trom Marshall and Pales? tine, vhe president announced that the next matter for consideration was the annual election officers.

Mrs. J. B. Dibreli and Miss Daffan were elected honorary presidents. CLOSING OF THE CONVENTION.

A medal made from a cannon captured by the Texans In the war with Mexico, and presented by Colonel Abe Harris, president of the Mexican War Veterans, was presented to Miss Daffan by Mrs. Moore Murdock. Resolutions of thanks to the people of Brownwood, the hostess chapter. Mayor Looiiey and others, was adopted. When the duxology was sung snd the benediction pronounced, the gavel fell and the convention closed.

In the literary session held Thursday evening the retiring president. Miss Daffan, was presented with a handsome Confederate pin by Mrs. John H. Reagan, with the following brief speech: "A pleasant task baa been assigned me and my only regret In complying Is my Inability to perform It aa well as the occasion demands, but aa you are all familiar with the old adage, "Valuable articles are put up In small I trust the few words I have to say will be sufficiently to tha point to meet your approval.

Marlin. A STRENUOUS DAT. The last day's session of the State convention of the Texas division. United Daughters of the Confederacy, has been a strenuous one for the officers and dele-rates. Assembled at 9 o'clock promptly the sessions continued until :30 In tlv evening, when adjournment was taken to meet In Marlin the first Tuesday In December, 1910.

The president. Miss Daffan, upon sounding the gavel, gave timely warning that delegates be as brief as possible as a clear understanding of the matters up for consideration would permit in order to avoid a night session. After Invocation the Children's Auxil iary of Brownwood gave a very beautiful flag- drill under the direction of Miss Stella Thomas. After the report by Mrs. Dimmltt on the Southwestern scholarship, the president announced that In response to Miss Daffan 'a recommendations that a school be built for young the lineal descendants of Confederate soldiers, when the State of Texas had assumed control of the Woman's Confederate home.

Mrs. S. Goggln of Brownwooil had proposed to 'donate a piece of land, the value of which Is $5000, as a site for the school of girls. Miss Daffan announced her acceptance of the site, and said that when the home was properly cared for by the State the daughters of the Texas division would undertake to erect a building and establish such a school. She further said that Brownwood was already the center of many things, and some day would become an educa-tltonal center.

i. BOME RETORTS IN DEBATE. Amendments proposed by Mrs. Ham II of Longvlew were next taken up and read by the secretary. It was moved that the amendments be considered one at a time.

After the first of the group had been read a second time. Mrs, Moore Murdock took the floor and led In t.io fight against Its' adoption. She said that such an amendment placed too much power In the hands of the president and board of directors. In that it provided for the doing away with the elective members of the board and made all officers board members. She made the point that as the constitution now stood there was entirely too much power vested in one woman the president.

She paused to explain that so long aa Miss Daffan was-president she would have no objection to such vestment of power; but that wtiu this estimable lady retiring, she felt that the power of the chair should be curtailed. She said the amendments were written by one who had a definite purpose in view. To this Mrs. Hamtl said she felt sure that the speaker had misinterpreted tlm proposed amendments. Mrs.

Stone, who Is referred to as the constitutional lawyer of the convention, said the laws of Texas fix such matters and that opposition by Mrs. Murdock was out of order. There was a cross lire of retorts between Mrs. Hamll and Mra. Murdock, in which Mrs.

Murdock declared that the convention had transgressed against the constitution, if Mrs. Hamil's Interpretation of the constitution was correct Mrs. Hamll disputed the claim and asked that the section of the constitution bearing upon this question be read by the secretary. When the vote was put the motion was lost for want of the majority necessary to carry, the vote standing 26 for and 28 against the amendment. Amendment No.

2 was read and Its adoption proposed. DUES NOT INCREASED. This amendment called for an Increase in the chapter dues, a raise of cents per capita. The secretary's voice had barely ceased before the opposition was startled by Mrs. Wheeler, who thought the amendment unnecessary and altogether detrimental to the division.

Mrs. Hassel of Dallas read a report from the Dallas chapter, which showed that organization to stand opposed to the amendment. It said: "We feel mat 10 cents for general dues and 10 cents tor chapter dues Is all that a chapter should be called upon to pay. Excessive dues will cause many to be demltted from chapters and thus membership will be decreased. The Confederate home Is our sacred heritage until such a time as the State of Texas will assume control and deserves our monetary consideration, therefore we are opposed to the amendment to Increase dues." Amendment lost.

The third amendment provoked the greatest discussion. Mrs. Murdock opposed this amendment aa heartily as she opposed former ones. This amendment provided for a small salary for the recording secretary and expense to tne State conventions. Murdock said that the office should be accepted through the love of work and without the thought Of remuneration.

Amendment lost. When It came to considering the fourth amendment. Mrs. Hamil said there was no use in voting on It, because the defeat of the first amendment does away with the fourth. Recording Secretary Mrs.
