When seen at her home on South

which time a more definite line of

I of women In Virginia would probably'
be mapped out, in keeping with Ideas

Mrs. Valentine said that the Taft

she did not believe personally that the

with enthusiastic cheers Immediately i
upon his arrival at the hall, despite the
fact that Mrs. Shaw, our president,
was then engaged In delivering her
'annual address. President Taft
spoke about ten minutes and l can
personally say that I noticed no evi
1 dpner of dlsrnurtr-ous Treatment dur- ;
Ing hts address. Women in the rear
of the hall made some noise, it is
true, but I think it was more In the
nature of shuttling feet and the like,
that Is likely to be heard in any well
regulated assemblage. As related In
the press dispatches, we sent the
president a communication explaining
that It was not the Intention Of any
of the regularly accredited delegates
to treat him with discourtesy, but we,
j did not apologlxe to him.

"We feel very grateful to Senator
