IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Many Bills Are Passed by House
Jordan Bill Up for Il Vote
Today.

Richmond. Feb. 20.-In two sess-
ions of four hours yesterday, the
House Of Delegates passed to their en-
grossment the bills forbidding the en-
ployment Of women for more shan ten
hours day in stores and laundrieS
and the bill prohibiting the employ
menr of boys under sixteen years of
age at night, and boys under ten years
selling newspapers; passed finally the
committee bills putting 500 convicts
| on the road and 800 to contract in the
pcnitentiary; passed bill extending
the hours of work in Capitol offices;
set the lime grinding bill for hearing
tomorrow and the tax copmission
bill for Thursday, and refused to take
up out of it's order, the bill increasing
the salaries of Judges of the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
James J. Creamer and Speaker Byrd
were successful yesterday in getting
through to their engrOSsment the Ia
Dor bills. There was considerable OPP
position in each instance. but no am
endmentS were carried which were not
accepted by the patrons. The Cream
er bill amends the existing law so as
to prevent the employment of women
or girls for more than ten hours in L
day, in workshops, stores or laundrlcs.
Heretofore the law has applied to fac
tories, and when it was sought to
reach altering departments in stores,
test cases were made. 1t is Intended
now to relieve SaleswOmen in mcrcan-
tile establishments.
The Byrd bill is especially aimed at
the working of boys at night. An am
endment makes it apply to mines is
well as other activities. 1t was OBJ
iected to because it would hamper GER
tain industries, this bringing from the
speaker, who took the iioor 70 liGht
the bill through, an appeal for the
children.
1t is probable that vote will be
reached today on the Jordan pronlhI-
ton enabling bill There are some
half dozen speeches or more to be
made on each side, and few of them
will be of considerable length. he
understanding is that there is gent
IIeman's agreement" on the one hand
that the pending question will not oe
called until the debate is concluded,
and on the other that no person VIII
talk apainst time. Under the circum-
stances it is believed that argument
will not be ended until the morning
session tomorrow. although there is
a possibility of vote this afternoon
It is not likely that the special order
for the lime grinding bill will be de-
laved because Of the Jordan bill dis
cussion.

CONTEST REALLY
STARTS TODAY.
List of Ladies Who Have Been
Nominated is Published for
First Time.
MOST DESIRABLE LIST.
Contestants and Friends Should Renem-
Der That Early Voting is Of Great
Value MS Ballots count Most at First.

~ --S.
Today marks the real opening of the
Gazette's European tour contest and
the interest which it has aroused
since the opening announcement was
made last Friday continues to grow.
In today's paper appear the names OF
those nominated for places in the
tour party and it is possible that from
this list may be chosen the winners
of the delightful tour that this paper
has offered.
In the list nearly everyone will find
one or more acquaintance and 1t IS
fully believed that it would have been
impossible to select more desirable
list of representative women from
which to choose. The candidates thus
far enrolled possess the proper ele-
ment of refinement, dignity, and, 1t
is believed energy to make up a sue
cessful and highly interesting contest
the winners of which will form the
touring party of which the citizens OF
this city and county will be proud
1t is impossible for the candidate
to know just how much support she
is receiving, for the mere fact that
her name is announced as candidate
for place in the tour party will bring
friends to her aid with coupons and
subscriptions, of whom she little
dreamed. 1t is we'll in making efforts
of this kind to secure the pledged sup
port of church societies, orders, Or
ganizations, and friends in general
ar,<,sr7ith slchyerRanizatiop behi'eeAs.t" elne q
candidate the results e-e sftrn sur
prisingly satisfactory to her.
Contestants and their friends should
remember that early voting is of great
value and the earlier ballots are cast
the better position they will have in
the showing early in the struggle.
Single coupons published in the paper
count for ten votes for the next week
and candidates should see to it that
their friends clip these coupons from
the papers, trim them and turn them
into the tour department as early as
possible, filled out with the name OF
the candidate for whom they desire
to vote.
The special ballot with which all
candidates will be supplied will count
for votes according to the printed
schedule of votes when properly filled
out accompanying subscription pay
ment, [see SCHEDULED. During the hrs
period which ends March l3, candi-
date turning in subscription for So
will receive 1000 votes on that SUBJ
scription; if it should happen to be a
new subscription, that is subscrip-
tion from person Or firm, that was
not getting the paper, by the week,
month or year when the contest start
ed from the regular carrier boys, or
by mail, the candidate will receive on
that subscription 6,400 votes.
The voting throughout the entire
contest is strictly secret and conhden-
t;al and none will know for whom you
are voting unless you disclose the fact
vourself. The ballot box will be tap
ned Mt 4 O'Clock every week day aft
ernoon and the result of the days bal
lotinr will be published in the issue OF
the following day.
