| Noted Men Brought
Into the Limelight
By Changes IN Senate
and Incoming
Members Long Prominent
in National AHairs-Fam-
lies Popular in Capital
Society.

Senator John Marshall Robson,
former member of the House from the
eleventh district of Kentucky, ranks
high in the esteem of his former COL
leagues and of those in the upper body
of Congress, to which he has been pro-
filled his once and the friends who
pressed forward to offer fluctuations
when he took his seat Friday morning.
Both the Senators from the Blue Grass
state earned their assignment to higher
duties by lengthy and successful serv-
ice in the popular chamber. Senator
william Alben Barley was elected to
the Sixty-third and the succeeding
Congresses until he was elected to the
Senate two years ago. The latest re-
cruit to the senatorial circle and his
ton for 10 years and have a large and
appreciative group of friends. They
have established home at 1900 Della
field street and have fully sustained the
reputation of their State for an album
dant hospitality.
Mrs. Robson was Miss Ida STAINS
berry of Grays. in Knox County, KY.
She is a typical homekeeper, for which
her section is noted, and she has that
profound religious strain which also is
characteristics of the beautiful noun
famous region in which Barbourville is
located. 1t is her especial pride that
for several years before coming to
Washington she taught Sunday after
Sunday the largest women's Bible class
in the entire State, which gathered for
regular weekly services. She and her
family are fervent members of the
Christian Church and they are gratified
that such a handsome new ediflce is
now arising at Fourteenth and MasSa-
chusetts avenue. Every Sunday Mrs.
Robson meets a large class here, and
last year when Judge Slower, who is the
head CT the Bible classes, was compelled
to give up weekly duties the wife of the
new Senator from Kentucky filled his
place. There are two children in this
new senatorial family. John Marshall
jr.. who has lived in Washington since
who took his academic degree in George
Washington University and studied law
in Georgetown University. He is I'M
married and will add another unit to
the gallants of the Upper House. The

Senator Patrick Sullivan. who came
to Washington expecting to serve but
briefly until the wyoming Legislature
could meet has had his appointment
extended until next Autumn, when the
voters of the State will determine his
fate. So, with Mrs. Sullivan and his
daughter. Miss Margaret H. Sullivan
he has settled comfortably at the May
flower until the present session is
ended. If the family is to set up the
household goods in home here de-
ponds on the length of the Senator;

have four daughters, but three are mar
