N NE of the attractive weddings of

IN NE of the attractive weddings O
 the early spring which is of in
 terest to a large circle of friends and relatives was that of Miss Emma Josephine Gelders, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Louis Gelders and MT. Roy Sterne, which took place on Wednesday evening at the home of the brides parents, and was witnessed by several hundred friends and relatives
 The entire house was thrown open and most attractively arranged and decorated in white roses and spring flowers. South ern smilax ferns and palms were most artistically combined.
 The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Morris Newfield and Dr. Samuel Ullman, who are lifelong friends of both the bride and groom, before a floral altar built of palms and ferns combined with white roses which was lighted by candles. On either side were standards holding roses. Leading to the altar was an aisle fash toned of broad white tulie ribbons caught at posts upon which were placed baskets of white roses.
 Miss Leona Loveman was the maid of honor and wore a frock of cloth of silver, over which was draped blue tule embroi- dered in silver She carried a French bouquet of sweet peas tied with blue tulle.
 Preceding the groom came Master Lin coin Newfeld. dressed as cupid, carrying the ring in the heart of a lilly. The bride entered with her father, who gave her in marriage. She was a beautiful picture in her bridal robes of Duchess satin with train draped from the shoulder. Falling in graceful folds was the lovely fil1ny veil which was caught on the head coro- net fashion with orange blossoms. She carried white roses showered with lilies of the valley. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr. Mervyn Sterne, as best man. The groomsmen were Mir Joseph Gelders, brother of the bride, and MT. Julian Adler. After the wedding an informal reception was held, and MT and Mrs. Gelders were assisted in receiving by the bride and groom, the wedding party and the out-of-town guests.
 Mrs. Gelders wore a black Duchess satin gown trimmed in jetted lace and white tulle.
 Mrs. Hirsh Morris of Memphis, wore gray Georgette crepe, elaborately em- broidered in steel beads; Mrs. Simon Moses of Natchez, gold panne velvet trimmed with brown tulle and 8 bunch of fur; Mrs. Sam Swope. black lace over white satin; Mrs. Mortimer Sterne of An- nsston, flesh-colored taffeta; Misses Myra, Pearl and Carrie Sterne, also of Annis- ton, in black lace, blue Georgette crepe and rose-colored taffeta.
 A delicious supper was served, and the brides table was attractive with a filet lace cover over white satin and having a large tilted basket of white roses in the center, showered with lilies of the valley and tulle from the chandelier.
 Receiving in the dining room were: Miss

also organizations in France, Switzer- land and Belgium. During IS years have acted as general secretary of the National Consumers league, being the only secretary they have ever had. Also have been one of the trustees of the National Child Labor committee. An other thing, when I say that for four years I was at the head of the Illinois state and factory inspection service, few people are inclined to believe it, thinking that a woman could not serve on any state board of this character, but it is true, nevertheless.
 "The most truly national part of the work of the National Consumers league has to do with Congress and with the United States supreme court,' said Mrs. Kelley. 'In February, 1914 President Wilson signed bill, passed by the United States Congress, restricting the working hours of women in the District of Columbia to eight in one day and AS in one week. This applied to all oe- cupa tions, except household service, nursing the sick, and office work It is the hope of the league that the District of Columbia may serve as an example for all those states, especially in the south. which have hitherto placed no restriction whatever upon the working hours of women. The District of Columbia is the first place in the east to establish the statutory eight-hour working day for women, though in the west it is in force in Washington, California, Arizona and Colorado.
 Tn the same month, February 1914, the supreme court of the United States sustained the Ohio law restricting the

Judge Bushey Says
Many In Marion County
Are Really In Need

Judge Bushey says there are more
really poor in the county than at any
time since he has been in office. Not
only are they more numerous, but they
are really nearer the actual suffering
stage than ever before. He says there
is a tendency, on the part of women
who have lost their husbands and are
in want to come to Salem. Several such
have come from eastern Oregon. One

The judge hearing her story told her
she belonged in Lane county where her
husband died six or eight months ago,
and that the Lane county judge would
take care of her. She cOald not see
why one county could not take care Of
her as well as another. As she had no
money the judge said he would see she
got to her home if she cared to go, but
under the law he could not grant her a
pension. He mentioned this as only a
sample of what occurs every week and
while it hurts him to turn down appli-
cants who are worthy, the law requires
they must have been residents of the
county for year before he can grant
them any relief.

CARRIES
IN LOWER HOUSE BY
DECISIVE VOTE TODAY
Amendment to Constitution Is
Now Up To State
Legislatures

Washington, dec. 1.-THE Ameri-
can congress, first national parlia-
ment in history to take the step, has
gone on record in favor of nation wide
prohibition. The house of representa-
tives late this afternoon voted 2S2 TO
12s in favor of submitting a national
prohibition amendment to the federal
constitution to the 4S state legislatures
for their approval or rejection.
The senate had already passed the
same amendment at the last session.
The house vote came shortly after
5 p. m. today, following six hours -
fiery debate.
Immediately after the result was an
nounced from the speakers desk the
house burst into ,tumult of cheers,
the galleries joining.
The house started roll call on the
national prohibition amendment at
5:07 p. m.
Representative Webb closed debate
with a strong appeal for passage. As
he spoke members filed in from the
lobbies and cloak room for the record
vote.
There was an unusually large at
tendance of congressman. An air of
greatest intensity was manifest.
Representative Fitzgerald, New
York, made his last speech in the
house, opposing the amendment.
JUST before final roll call was or
dered, Representative Reavis, Nebras
ka, dry, failed in an effort to strike
out section three of the amendment,
it places limit of seven years upon
the period in which the states may rat
ify prohibition. He feared this section

fate of the measure,

WILL DRIVE P|LING
AS GUIDE TO BOATS
Agreement Reached Which
VIII Prevent Abandoning
Use Of the Bridge

Just when Salem folks had settled
down to the conclusion all bridge trou-
bles were settled they crop up in a
new shape. 1t seems that the contrac-
tors building the temporary bridge
failed to get the consent of the United
States engineering department to driv-
ing the piling in the center of thee
spans. Captain Graham and others com
planned that this piling was a danger
to navigation and acting on this COM
plant the engineers ordered the bridge
contractors, the Coast Bridge company,
to remove the piling. This the contrae-
tors were preparing to do when the
Commercial club learned of it and at
once sent a committee to Portland to
consult with the engineers. This com
mittee consisting Of w. M. Hamilton,
Theo Roth, F. w. Steusloff, Jos. AL
bert, w. H. Allen and VIM. Busick
went to Portland Saturday. The com
mittee first talked with Mr.. Whitloek
of the bridge company who could give
the visitors no information other than
that he had been ordered to remove
the piing and was preparing to do so.
The Graham brothers were called in
and with the committee called ON En-
ginner Thompson of the United States
service and later ON Engineer Zinn who
is in charge of the district. In consul
tation they arrived at the conclusion
double row of piling such as is used
at a ferry slip, could be driven on the
upstream side of the bridge which
would allow the boats to get through
all right without extra danger.
This conclusion being reached and
the bridge company promising to drive
such piling the committee considering
its work accomplished returned home.
In the meanwhile the matter had been
wired to Senator MeNary who took
the matter up with the department and
had the order for the removal of the
piling held up for examination. 1t is
probable the driving of the piling as
mentioned will be the end of the mat
ter and this will be done as soon as
possible. Should the piling be removed |
it would mean the temporary bridge |
would have to be abandoned as ii
would be weaker than before it was |
moved to the new piers,

CLAUS SPECKLES IS
STILL AFTER SCALP
OF FOOD DIRECTOR
Says Regulations Mean Nine
Million Dollars Extra Pro-
fits for Hawaii

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE American
people must pay Hawaiian sugar plant
ers and refiners $9,OOO,OOO extra profit
in 1918 if the Hoover food administra-
tion fixes prices as planned, Claus A.
Spreckels declared today before the
Reed sugar-coal investigating commit
tee.
Hoo7er's presence lent an air of
tenseness to the hearing. Spreckels in
jected challenging note into his
statements. He was extremity carful to
verify everything he said from records
and letters, or through an assistant.
Spreckels said if sugar prices are left
to themselves they will decline next
year. He testified the Hoover sugar
committee has already decided on a
price for Cuban sugar three quarters
of a cent a pound higher to the refiner
than the price would be if allowed to
"fix itself without interference.
This means a considerable increase to
the consumer, Spreckels said.
HThe price fixed for Cuban sugar
will fix the price at which Hawaiian
sugar when refined will be sold.
Hawaiian sugar costs less to import
raw. The fixing of the Cuban price
at the figure contemplated, there, will
mean an added profit of $9,000000 to
the Hawaiian sugar people"
"The American people have to pay
that?" asked Senator Reed.
Naturally" replied Spreckels.
Spreckels declared if George NJ
Rolph, California refiner and member
of the Hoover committee, had not
Hhoarded" 10000 tons of raw sugar,
there would have been no shortage in
the east
Spreckels told how, in sugar short
age in 1910 or 1911 American refiners
bought all over the world.
owe kept the refineries running and
the people supplied" said Spreckels
fFThis time we were not allowed to go
out and buy-the food administration
wouldn t let us"
When the committee reconvened this
afternoon Hoover, apparently angered
at being snubbed did not appear.
The committee stated that it had
agreed with Counsellor Polk not to en-
ter publicity into the Cuban sugar price
matter, now under negotiation between
the state department and the Hoover
food administration.
Cross examination of Claus Spreckels
was begun in the senate sugar probe
this afternoon by Judge Lindley, coun-
sci of Hoover. LAndley submitted his
questions through Senator Jones.
