SENATOR SAUNDERS
PLEADS CAUSE OF
SOUTHERN WOMEN
Duty to Confederate Widows
in Time of Need Supported
by Mr.. Gravatt Bill is
Approved.

Pleading that the women of the
Confederacy he provided for and that
no petty economical policy be pur-
sued which would place the state ~
Virginia in the position Of neglect
ing them Senator Saunders. in ring
ing speech yesterday afternoon in the
senate chamber champoued his meas
ure' providing that So. goo be appro-
priated for the support of the Home
for Needy Confederate Women. Sena-
tor tiravatt followed Senator -Saun-
ders and added the weight of his plea
to that of Mr.. Saunders.
In his speech Senator Saunders de-
clared that there were few measures
before the senate OF greater interest to
Virginians He showed that women
who held the ConfederaeY together by
the strength of their devotion to the
cause were In need and that 1t was
the highest duty of the State to pro-
vide for their comfort.
I'm case this appropriation is not
made" declared the senator from Mid
dIesex, these ladies win be dependent
upon cold charity for their livelihood.
If the appropriation Is made we can
not only provide for those already in
the home but can provide for others
who have asked to get into the home,
and have been refused on the grounds
that although there is room enough
for them there is not money enough
for their support"
Senator Gravatt followed Mr.. Saun-
ders. asking that the appropriation be
made and saying that he could think
Of no better manner of spending the
public money.
Lip adulation of these women will
never make up for the discomfort they
will be forced to suffer If the appro-
priation is not made" he declared.
I'VE have given them adulation and
oratory, now let us provide for their
comfort
Senator Echols objected to making
the appropriation of $4,000 on the
grounds that the committee had recon-
mended an appropriation of $4,000 in
the place OF an appropriation of $4,000
which was the amount originally
asked
I'VE have before us now asked for,
appropriations amounting to over seven
millions of dollars" he declared, and
we have got to cut down the appro-
priations.'
In spite of the opposition of the
chairman of the finance COMMITTEES the
measure was passed on to its third
reading by large majority.
The abolition of the criminal
match" or the match which will
ignite on any surface, was strongly
advocated by Senator Tavener in the
furtherance of his bill to that effect.
The senator showed that the match
which would strike on any surface
was a menace to homes and bust
nesses, and that many States had al
ready abolished 1t,
Because of an objection in regard
to the effect of the measure upon in
surance which had not been
made clear to the senate, the bill was
passed by until today.
The measure providing that all
railroads with a main line mileage OF
less than thirty miles should equip
their locomotives with headlights Of
| not less than 500 candle power, was
adopted by the senate after short
debate. The measure originally pro-
vided that all railroads provide their

WILSON AND GLYNN
HAVE CONFERENCE
Politicians Believe Osborne Will
Be Chairman of New York
State Committee.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.--As a re-
suit of the conference at the White
House today Governor Glynn and the
Wilson administration will be found
working together from now on for
the reorganization of the Democratic
party in New York State. This means
that Governor Glynn and the presi-
dent have enlisted in a common cause
to break the hold of Charles E. MUIR
ply on the State organization, and to
bring the party out under new pro-
gressive leadership.
The plan discussed at the White
House today contemplates, however.
important action by Governor Glynn
and the administration followers in
New York State before the primary
campaign begins.
1t can be SAID that Governor GEynn
suggested to the president today the
name of William Church Osborne, for
chairman of the Democratic State
committee, to succeed George NJ. Pal
nrer. This president enthusiastically
expressed his approval Of MIR. Osborne.
While Mr.. Palmer il not himself n
Tammany man, his selection as State
chairman was recognized as IL Muir
ply choice, and Governor Glynn's
friends contend that ii will be neces-
sary TO have new deal il the party
is 10 enter next falls campaign with
any chance of retaining the votes
that have been alienated through the
deplorable record of tho New York
State Democracy.
Whether or not Charles r. Mar
ply Is still in control of the Demo-
cratic State committee is still an
open question. but the belief here is
that If Governor Glynn brings tne
weight of his Office, backed by the
Wilson administration, to bear upon
the organization in the State, he can
bring about the reformation. possibly
without q serious fight.
There Was talk also that William
II. McCombs, Democratic national
chairman, who attended the conrer-
eree at the White House. was preeH-
ing himself as 4 candidate for the
senate to succeed Senator Root. II
il hardly likely, though. that this SUBJ
ject was considered ut the conferences.

There IL nothing in the law, as
I understand it, that would allow
either myself or the board to allow

Governor
"0f course, have instructed
the board to have everything done
possible in the institution that would

there ever have been any prisoners
