CONSUMERS LEAGUE
TO HEAR MRS. KELLEY

Mrs Florence Kelley, secretary of
the National Consumers League, and
a member Of the National Child Labor
Law Committee, is to be the speaker
at the annual meeting of the Della
ware Consumers League. which will
be held on March IL, the place OF
meeting to be announced later. Mrs
Kelley, 1t will be remembered, was
to have spoken at the meeting held
at the New Century Clup, In the in
terest of the Consumers League,
early in February, but was unavoid-
ably detained in Washington at a
hearing of the eight hour law. The
eight hour day bill, relative to the
District of Columbia. which was intro
duced by Senator La Toilette in the
Senate and Representative Peters in
the House, had nine hearings; and
there Is a likelihood that it will be
passed at an early date by Congress.
This bill was the basis of the bill
drafted by the Ten Hour Law Com
mittee in its provisions, only chang
ing eight hours to ten hours, and a
forty-eight hour week to a fifty hour
week. because the desire OF the Ten
Hour Laws Committee was to draw
most conservative bill for Delaware.
At the meeting there will be busi-
ness session at o'cock, and the
meeting will be open to the public at
ocock.

A large life-size painting Of him

Mr.. Taft, following an ancient prece-

An enlarged" mansion also awaited
the Wilson's. The third floor, or attic,
has been remolded, because Of the

The roof will be raised later and a
dozen more bedrooms provided.
At the White House offices, the corps

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. with
the convening of the United. States
Senate today following the inaugura-
ton of Vice. President Marshall, the
session having been called by Presi-
dent Taft before the expiration of his
term, Willard Salisbury of Delaware,
third of his family, took his seat as
a member of that body Mrs. Sauls-
bury and Miss Emily P. Bissell saw
Senator Salisbury take the oath.
IL may be stated that today is the
happiest day Salisbury has known
since his election by the Delaware
legislature.
Senator Salisbury was one of sever
al newly elected United States Sena-
tors to be sworn in. IL is customary
always for the United States Senate to
convene Immediately after the in
auguration of the Vice-President, who
presides over that body, and the call
ing of the Senate in extra session by
President Taft was only in line with
what his predecessors had done. Re-
presentative-elect Franklin Brockson
will not take his seat until extra ses-
sion convenes on April 1, as the
House does not meet as does the SEN
ate on March 4.
With the convening of the new SEN
ate, the first session of the Sixty-third
Congress, a great many changes will
be made which directly effects those
who have and are now representing
the State of Delaware, probably more
than that of any other state. Senator
Salisbury succeeds Senator Richard
son.
Just to what extent Senator Sauls-
bury will influence legislation can
hardly be predicted at this time AS

cient majority to give it absolute
