Cabinet Women Social
War Ends Nth Luncheon
Mrs. Garrison Invites Congress-
mems Wives, Thus Breaking
Ukase on Visits.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. 9.-The
luncheon which Mrs. Lindley NJ. Gar
rison, wife of the secretary of war.
gives to the wives of the New Jersey
delegation in Congress today, is the
first visible result of the backdown
of the wives of the cabinet members
who are said to have assumed the
attitude of not socially recognizing
the wives of the members of the
House of Representatives, though at
the same time they would recognize
the wives of the members of the up
per branch of Congress.
A droll feature of the Unpleasant
ness" was that it was confined al
most exclusively to the ranks of the
Democracy. Wives of Republican
members in the main made their calls,
accepting, tacitly at least. the die
tum of the cabinet set.
One woman prominent in many ad-
ministrations said:
"The picture of a Democratic cabi-
net, which, after all, is created by a
Democratic House. refusing to recog-
nize its creator was one not to cause
wrath but to elicit Homeric laughter.
The only excuse was that the women
were new to the situation and did not
fully appreciate the farreaching re-
suits of what at first glance looked
merely like a reasonable effort to re-
duce the list of calls, which those
longer in official life accomplish by
the simple method of individual selec-
ton.
only the few are courageous
enough to make all calls. Others
make those which bear the closest re-
semblance to official obligation and
say nothing of the remainder that
are omitted
Cabinet women never have paid all
calls. but hitherto none has publicly
announced, either individually or col
lectively, that she did not intend to
make certain calls. Wives of rep
resentatives as a set have not always
paid cabinet calls. Many make no
effort to pay them, but nobody an
nounces such a decision publicly.
1T was the formal and public an
nouncement by the cabinet women OF
their intention TO eliminate the wom-
en- of the households of representa-
tives in Congress that evoked the
trouble, just as 1t Is the formal and
public announcement of their inten
tion to reconsider that determination
that has allayed it."

In the mail today was letter from

says: "Mr Editor, won't you be

is out of work and mama is sick, and
somehow 1 feel that he may forget

We took the epistle over to the

way out of the trouble for the little

YES" she said; lets start club

FIGHT STILL ON
Senator Hughes Refuses to
Withdraw Duffy, Declaring
Faith in His Candidate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-There has
been no change in the regular order of
things, bearing upon the office of
collector for the Fifth internal Rev
enue District of New Jersey That
is to say the situation is in statu
quo, although New Jersey Demo-
Gratis have been in conference here
today endeavoring to reach a con-
clusion.
National Committeeman Robert s.
Hudspeth, Naval officer H. Otto
Wittpenn. Congressman Scully and
several others talked the matter over
with United States Senator William
Hughes.
1t seems that Hughes is the one to
be conclliated or placated. He refused
to abandon his first choice, Charles
V. Duffy, of Paterson, and does not
take kindly to other names advanced.
If Duffy isn't competent, the Senator
argues some others are certainly not
qualified. in his estimation. If they
are looking around for the right tim
Der, Senator Hughes holds, they had
better look some more, as no one pro-
posed yet to displace Duffy looks at
all good TO him.
The Camden situation is also more
or less mixed up. and nothing at all
seems settled

HOUSTON, Tex. Dec. 9.-Rescue
crews in the Brazos river flood dis
trict redoubled their efforts today to
reach the thousands of marooned per-
sons menaced by starvation or death
by exposure. Light motorboats car
ried food to flood victims perched on
roofs or imprisoned in cotton gin
buildings, while larger craft made
their way through the bottoms carry
ing refugees to concentration camps.
The crest of the food, nearing the
gulf, appeared today to be in Fort

which included life loss in all dis
.tricts affected by the flood, was not
increased over night.

UNION RECOGNIZED
BY RUMMELL FIRM
Hat Shop Accepts Label and
Strike Trouble Is
Ended.

The j. Rummell Company's hat
factory, at Pennington and Dawson
streets, yesterday became an out and
out union or "fair" shop. for the first
time since January 10, 1909. when the
big strike" over the question of the
recognition of the union label was
ordered
The story of this struggle, which
covered period of almost a year,
was recently told in detail In the
Evening Star, in connection with a
narrative dealing with negotiations
between the Rummell concern and
the union hatters, aiming at an adj
justment OF the differences.
BY the terms of the agreement GER,
tain former union men who remained
at work when the Strike" began are
restored to good standing in the
union on the payment of fines. Their
union cards were returned to them
In a reciprocal sense the union label
is recognized by the Rummell COM
pany and on both sides it is looked
upon as a case of "alrs Well that
ends we'll"
About fifty of the old union hatters
formerly employed in the Rummelt
shop went to work at the old stand
yesterday, and about as many more
today. The shops capacity, including
finishers, sizers, curriers' and Hangers,
is something over 200, and there are
many trimmers AS soon as matters
have taken better shape the trimmers
will return to work
There is a general feeling of gratifi
cation. particularly in the Ironbound
district over the happy culmination
of affairs. as it is not unreasonab BILE
to expect that the few factories that
have been holding out against recog-
nizing the union label will follow the
example set by the Rummell Conn
pany.

hour In 792 miles, o laps made by
Hill and Clark In 1912.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Jimmy Moran,
whose heart was set on winning the
New York siX-day race, is out of the
contest. A broken shoulder caused the
retirement of the famous old veteran.
Only half conscious from the loss of
sleep, Lewis Jason, head trainer for
the Mitten- Thomas team, walked on
the track and in front of Moran at
sos a. m. Moran crashed heavily to
the track and Drobach and Clark were
carried down with him. All three
riders fell on top of Jason, who lapsed
into complete Inconsistencies, a state
in which he remained for two full
hours
Moran was attended by Dr. Cox,
the track physician, who found a
slight fracture of the left shoulder,
and after being treated Moran re-
sumed the race. although he was in
great pain when he used his left arm.
1t took two bad falls to make Moran
quit, however, The second one oc-
Cured at 7:45, which resulted in the
complete fracture of the left shoulder,
and six minutes later his retirement
was announced. The breaking up of
the team is great disappointment to
both Moran and Grenda. They were
both riding strong and believed that
they had a very good chance to win
the race. Grenda had four hours in
which to secure another partner
At Has a. m. it was announced that
Paddy Hehir would retire and Clark
and Grenda would form new team.
Hehir was in good shape. but suffered
greatly when on the track on ac-
count of the weakness of his left col
larbone, which was broken In the re-
cent day race in Boston. For
many hours little Paddy rode in great
pain, but did not complain. Bear
ing his suffering in silence, he await
ed the opportunity to withdraw at a
time when Clark could double up
with rider strong enough to make
up the penalization of one lap with
Clark when the new team was
formed.
While Hehir was disappointed with
his own predicament and regretted
Moran's mishap, he was delighted to
think that his partner was able to
secure Grenda in forming new COM
bination. With weak member on
nearly every team in the race. it is
very probable that Clark and Grenda
will get on even terms with the lead
ers before the race has gone many
hours.
