DECLARED TO Be NOT TRUE
STORY REGARDING WORK OF
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Mr.. Cuno n. Rudolph Refers to Cur
rent Rumor Which, He Says,
Is Harmful.

In a communication to The Star, Mr..
Cuno II. Rudolph, chairman of the joint
finance committee of the Associated
Charities, says that as such chairman of
committee recently formed to make
known the needs and opportunities repre-
scented by the Associated Charities. the
Citizens Relief Association and the COM
mittee on prevention of consumption he
is doing great deal of harm to these
three indispensable charities.
The usual form of the story Mr..
Rudolph states, lis this: A lady goes into
an alley in search of a cook and is as
sured that the ladies of this alley don't
work any more because the charities sup
port them. This story probably started
on its rounds about fifteen years ago.
when the work of the Associated Chari-
tise was very different from its present
effective methods. For the last six years
we have made earnest efforts to find one
person who had the experience related
or to get the name and address OF
single family in which idleness has been
encouraged. Our committee would ike,
through you. to ask every citizen VINO
has heard this story to aid US in tracing 1t
up and discovering any real fact behind
it.
THE truth Is that the Associated Chari-
ties has been the one and only agency
which has reduced and almost completely
eliminated the indiscriminate almsgfvlng
to which the story refers. Through hav-
ing a trained agent investigate thoroughly
every application for assistance, preserv-
ing permanent records of every case. and
adding to the Information by visits
throughout the year, the Associated Char
tiles has become thoroughly familiar with
the needs and possibilities of all the fam
lilies with whom 1t deals. Its workers

Mr.. Burrows made known his opin.
ion on this subject when he was ap-
preached by an interviewer who
wished to know whether the senator
thought the expenses of Mr.. Taft's
Inauguration should be borne by the
federal government or by the citizens
of the District Of Columbia. II costs
about $4,000 to defray the expenses
OF the festivities. although q
goodly portion OF this usually comes
back from the purchase OF tickets for

fore every legislature for ten years
past, there is no likelihood that II will

A compromise is already being dis.
cussed by which the mayor will be
given the power OF veto over the acts
of the water board In the same way
that he has over those of the school
board. This would be check upon
possible extravaganza and would not
operate to hamper the board In neces.
sary plans for extensions.
Commissioners Pendleton, Clippert
and Dodge are understood to be
against the plan for compelling the
alter board to submit its estimates TO
the council and board Of estimates.
Their argument Is that the water
boarc has its separate revenues. aud
that it's members have the best means
OF knowing what future demands upon
the water system will be and prepar-
ing for such needs.
Commissioners Pound and Lemke
are lined up the other way.

MAY LOSE POST
AuTOcRATic DIPLOMAT SAID TO

ONCE ON A TIME.

LONDON, Nov. lS.-Unless MT.
Tafts prediction prejudices nave
been changed his inauguration may
mark the departure from the diplo-
matte corps OF Henry White the pres
ent ambassador to France. IL Is the
gossip of the diplomatic club in Ion
don and the continent that Taft once
informed a friend that If ever ne
was elected president IL would please
him TO dispense with Mr.. whites SER
vices as American ambassador.
The cause OF Taft's personal dis
like TO White Is reported 10 be that
years ago. before Taft ever dreamed
OF becoming president. White snub'
bed Taft when the latter was visiting
London with Mrs. Taft. Among the
president-elect's first calls was one
to the American embassy, where he
met White. then the first secretary.
White never returned that call.
1t Is reported that Taft felt the slight
keenly, often referred TO IL and now

forget and forgive the slight put upon

the average American embassy In En-.
rope to any American under the rank
of United States senator is largely
attributable To the precedent set by
White There are few embassies In
Europe where the average citizen Is
not received with frigid hauteur that

New York reports. that Whitelaw

ii is known that Mr.. Reid likes his

Only a position In the cabinet could
