Washington, March 23.-Representa-
tive Hardwick of Georgia has gone
atilt against the idea of a social secre
tary at the White House. And he has
gone alone, to defeat: During consid-
si err as of the Legislative apnr9priFatl o
Smse opp6sed Nb mask of f botS
sides Of the chamber in his endeavor to
restrict the White House appropriation
so as to eliminate a social secretary for
the wife of the president.
Mr.. Hardwick inquired what para
graph provided for the salary of the
social secretary for the wife Of the
president. Mr.. Littauer replied that he
did not know that any such salary was
provided: It has always been the Gus
tom of the appropriations committee to
take as law the suggestion from the
White House regarding the number and
salary of clerks required and nothing
IS known as to what any Of these
Mr.. Hardwick offered an amendment
providing that no part of the appropria
ton should be used to pay the salary
to a person to perform the duties Of
social secretary to the wife of the pres
ldent. lie read from New York news
paper article which indicated that such
provision was contained in the bill,
and that it would be questioned when
reached The latter statement caused
a laugh.
Mr.. Grosvenor counseled Mr.. Hard
wick to Withdraw the amendment. He
spoke Of the high official station of the
wife Of the president, of the modest
establishment the nation maintains, and
of the adverse impression such an
amendment would have coming from
Mr.. fitzgerald of New York was in
favor of making specific appropria-
ton for, a clerk to perform the duties
of social secretary. E44s
Mr.. Hardwick insisted he meant no
disrespect to the wife Of the president
whatsoever. He said efforts are being

preparations and the rumor is abroad
House. If it could be stated by anyone
that the practice had continued in the
past he would withdraw the amend
ment. Such a statement was not made
and, the motion being put, Mr.. Hard
wick seemed to be the only one voting
in it's favor.
Tip from ''Yellow.''
Representative Hardwick got his tip
about Mrs. Roosevelt s social secretary
from one of the New York "yellows, -
which recently printed Miss Hagner 8
picture and long article stating that
her employment was not the public serv-
) ice. but fer the personal convenience Of
the president 'swife. From the tone of the
article one would have been led to think
that Mrs. Roosevelt was the only presi-
: 70 ho win orf
The fact is that the wife Of every presi-
dent has had such secretary, the gov
ernmeut paying the salary. This sec
rotary has desk in the executive office
and also one in the White House proper.
Miss Hagner is doing the same work
that was done for Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison, and all the
trouble with the New York "yellow' is
that it was little slow in finding this
out.
