Congressman From Southside
Virginia in Maiden Speech
Argues Well.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
In his maiden speech upon the floor
of the house OF representatives con-
gresham Walter Watson. of Virginia.
urged the passage OF the bill to author
ize the president to construct rail-
road into the interior of Alaska for
the purpose of developing that ina
mense country now laying idle. to a
certain ex tant, owing to lack of trans
portation facilities.
As is Usual upon the occasion of
the delivery of an address before the
house by new member, Judge Wat
son had large and attentive audience.
His remarks were listened to with
greater attention as he proceeded, and
when il was realized that he had an
unbounded wealth of knowledge re-
garding the subject under discussion.
Several times he was interrupted by
questions from other members who diff
fered with his viewpoint and attempted
to Illustrate him, but he held his COM
posture and had the best of the free
for-all debate which occurred at in
tervals. When he concluded he was
vigorously applauded.
Government Has Right.
Congressman Watson said in part:
II did no. at first take kindly to the
proposal that the government should
construct. own and possibly operate a
railroad in Alaska; but the hearings
before the committee on territories of

predictions, and.I announce my adj

These figures give an idea, and only
an idea, OF what the Richmond OF to-
day Is among the great and growing
cities of the country.
Its strides in the last few years. in
all lines, have been remarkable. Few
cities in our land are growing as the
Virginia capital ID doing.
The Richmond virgfnain. which today
celebrates it's fourth birthday and en-
ters upon it's fifth year. is robust

and Improvement on every hand and
along practically all lines.
Her New sky Line.
Richmond has had a new sky line.
And 1t Is changing and becoming more
striking every year. The city Of Man
chester was annexed to Richmond
about the time The virginian WAS
born and that part of the city has
the general tide of growth and pros
perity.
Now the growing city needs more
room, and the annexation of more ter

progress. New skyscrapers. new mer-
camille establishments and new en-
terprises have entered with the growth
Of Richmond. and helped to make it
a great business center.

HOUSE CONSIDERS
LABOR LEGISLATION
Bill Providing for Safeguarding
Industrial Plant Employees
Advanced.
Speaker Cox Appears on Floor.
Two Bills Passed During
One of Most Quiet Days of
Session.

For the first time since the legiSla-
ture convened and the house has be-
gun its regular business, Speaker Cox
appeared on the floor to take a hand
in active legislation, advocating the
passage of a bill introduced by HIM
self and Mr.. Milstead. The day was
tame compared with the stormy days
that marked the opening of the gem
eral assembly, but the house has set
tied down to the important work be-
fore it and two bills were passed
unanimously.
The bill patroned by the speaker
and Mr. Miistead provided for certain
laws regarding the building OF fac
tories and shops where women are
employed and the safeguards that
shall be thrown around the employees
of such places against loss OF life and
limb by fire and machinery.
The measure came up on its second
reading and several amendments were
made. The discussion of the methods
of protection. such as fre-doors. the
manner In which the employees could
escape, the way doors should open,
the placing Of stairways. occupied
nearly an hour and half of the two
hour session. The bin was advanced
TO It's third reading.
Mr. Browning. of Orange, occupied
the CHdlT WHlit SfSaheI lUA Was ON
the floor and his ruling accepted by
the house in complimentary terms.
Taxation OF Bank Deposits.
The first bill to face the morning
session was the senate bill to pro-
vide for the segregation OF the tax
upon money on deposit and to make
1T liable to taxation by the State alone
and to fix the rate OF such taxation.
AS this is practically the same bill
"A, t<.. tA r.
Weaver OF Warren. moved that it be
dismissed This Was done unani-
mously.
The senate bill authorizing the tn
stitution of proper proceedings in The
name Of the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia to enforce the return To IL of
the original will OF Martha Washing
ton. now owned by j. p. Morgan, was
advanced to it's third reading. Mr..
oliver. OF Fairfax moved that further
reading OF the bill he dispensed with
III no member objected. as the bill only
affected Fairfax county. from which
the will was stolen. Mr.. Stephenson.
OF Bath, objected.
To Prevent Untrue Advertising.
Many important measures were in
PRODUCED yesterday. among which was
a bill by Mr.. Easley to prevent un-
true and deceptive advertising. and
making such advertising a misde mean-
or. providing penalty OF not less than
$50 nor more than $3.50. or from ten
days to sixty days In Jail for viola
ton OF the act.
Another OF interest to Richmond
was introduced by Mr.. Hobson del
egate from the city of Richmond, pro-
ividing for an appropriation OF $4,000

larger in 1913 than in 1890. reach
ing a total of s4s.5se.s1s. while the
total assets of the city were more than
four times as large as in 1890.
A great deal of this progress has
been made during the last four years,
and in 1t The virginian has taken a
part. The paper has shown a steady
growth. and as it enters the NTH year
of it's life has the best of prospects.
and the knowledge that the part of its
responsibilities met thus far have been
met fairly, and that its work has been
well done.
In a modest way. The virginian be-
lleves that at least some Of these
things have become realities through
it's endeavors. Many other things
may become realities by the aid of The
Virginian. The Virginian is here to
help build up a great city and great
State
Within a short while the city will
have expanded far beyond its present
bounds. Many acres will be annexed
by the city. and many hundreds OF
people will have been added to Its
population. The Virginian has been a
factor in this work. and will continue
to be.
The Virginian win always be in the
forefront in working for the good OF
the people OF Richmond. and of the
State
In going into its fifth year. The Vir.
ginia wants to thank the thousands
of friends who have stuck by II in its
efforts to add to the clean Journalism
of Virginia. By such friendships all
papers succeed. and this paper has
succeeded. and all 1t suggests is that
those who have been loyal to the city
of Richmond and the State of yir-
ginia, and The Richmond Virginian
continue to he loyal, and the good old
State and the old historic city will
continue to go forward.
There yet remains much to be ac-
complished. and The virginian will
continue to prove the factor for the
purity, the fairness and the. accuracy
in Virginia journalism. which 1t has
been during its past history.

Outcome of Contests For Two
Virginia Jobs Lays With
McReynolds.
Nv GEORGE H. MANNING.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--The con-
tests to secure the appointment OF the
United States marshals for Virginia,
instead of clarifying during the past
two weeks has become more clouded
and uncertain regarding the outcome.
There is a prospect however. that
Attorney General McReynolds will get
the cases in shape where he can
reach a conclusion regarding who to
appoint, within the next week or ten
days. as practically all the interested
parties have made their formal recon-
mendations with the exception of Rep
resentative Andrew Jackson Monta-
que, who has not made his final
recommendation regarding his choice
for marshal in the Eastern district.
1t was believed a week ago that
McReynolds had
about decided to nominate Lee Clark.
of Patrick county, to succeed Marshal
Fulwiler, who forwarded his resigna-
ton December LIST, TO take effect
whenever a successor could be APP
pointed. But about the time this con-
c1usion was reached. 1t Is understood
that Representative Carter Glass ask
ed that the matter be hefd UP until
Mr.. McReynolds could consider the
advisability Of appointing Sidney
Sheltman, of Christiansburg,t Mont
gomery county.
Say Clark Was Overzealous.
And there the matter rests with the
Encouragement trying to decide be-
tween Clark and Sheltman. Both

sides to be very able lawyers, but II

Rear Admiral Vreeland of
Naval Board Startles Mem
bers Of Congress With State
ments at Hearing.

WASHINGTON. Jan 2s.-Rear
Admiral c. e. vreeland. of the general
board of the navy. startled members
of the house committee on naval af-
fairs today when he declared that in
case of hostilities with Japan it would
be comparatively easy for Ear East
ern power to take the Philippines and
possibly land its troops In the ter
ritories of Hawaii and Alaska
Rear Admiral Vreeland, who is one
of the strategists of the navy depart
ment, made 1t plain that in his opinion
Japan would be able to make great
progress in the early stages OF con-
fiict Mith.-thA- United States, but that
ultimately this country would win
through its superior financial re-
sources.
Coming on the heels of reports that
the administration is seriously concern
ed over the apparent friendliness Of
Japan to the Huerta government in
Mexico. the testimony of Rear Admiral
Vreeland was received by house MEM
berS with intense interest.
At the conclusion Of the proceedings
members refused to comment on the
views OF the naval officer. Parts of
the testimony of Rear Admiral Vree-
land became public. however, and it is
impression on the president.
The proceedings were marked by at
least one sensational incident. Rep
resentative Buchanan, OF Illinois, who
has presistently opposed naval extern
sions. stated that the steel corpora
ton and other companies engaged in
building ornaments were interested in
circulating war reports for business
reasons only. He charged that the
navy league and other semi patriotic

league.

asked that the whole matter be

chanan then left committee room.
