While his application was filed with
the court a week OF so ago, It was
not done publicly, and the fact that

ment as a member of the Bar became
known today through the statements
Of some of his friends. II is expected
that the application will be presented
formally to the Judges, sometime dur
ing the coming week for their con-
sideration.
There have been rumors that Mr.
Hawkins expected to secure reinstate-
ment under the Owens bill to create
a new Law Examining Board which
has passed the House, should it be
enacted by the Legislature. II now
turns out that his case would not
be affected by such a law. and that
he desires the Court to reinstate him.

He was disbarred about IA years ago
following his conviction by the court

funds belonging to client. He served
several months in the Kent County
Jail and since then has been disbarred
from practice in the court

when he declared that he was in an
awkward position" He said that Of

OBJECTS TO THE CHANGES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, March 15.-After Civ
ing an extended hearing on the
Mooney bill to limit to ten hours daily
the employment OF women. the Senate
committee on labor yesterday after
noon decided to report the measure
favorably with the amendments the
committee had tackled on after it left
the House
A delegation of men and women in
terested in having the best
womens employment bill possible
passed by tho Legislature. protested
against the State amendments, one Of
which would permit women to be en-
ployed twelve hours a day for the
seven days preceding Christmas, and
another of which would permit laun-
dries for six weeks a year to work
their women help each week four
days of eleven hours each, or two days
of twelve hours each, but limiting any
week to SO hours. On these amend
ments after the hearing the Senate
committee decided to stand pat.
The bill had been reported out by
the committee three days ago. but
was recommitted at the request OF
the Consumers League, which desired
a hearing TO protest against the two
Senate amendments. The league had
reconciled itself to the House amend
ments, which had passed that body
extending to eleven o'clock at night
the time to which women might be
employed, and also providing that wo-
men might be employed twelve hours
one day each week. The Consumers
League feels that the amendments
