Charles H. Crane of Chicago, who is

President Wilson has had under conSid-
Grafton for appointment as ambassador to

about the object of his visit.
Secretary Bryan. however. who called

the incumbency of the present ambassa-

Guild had been granted two months leave
Of absence on account of his health.
Renewal Of Gossip.
Those familiar with procedure in the
diplomatic service thought it unlikely
that Mr.. Guild would take a two-month
leave if he were soon to be supplanted,
and also recalled that Mr.. Crane on a
former occasion had let it be known
that his business affairs would not per-
NIT of his absence from the United States
for a little while to come. One conclu-
sion drawn. and which White House
officials declined to comment upon, was
that the plan was for Mr.. Guild to con-
tinue for while.
Mr. Crane was appointed ambassador
to China by former President Taft. but
was recalled before he sailed from San
Francisco. The incident and its even

Disappearance of American

Brother Gets Message.

LONDON. April 16.-The mystery OF
the whereabouts of the lost Joseph Will
berforce Martin of Memphis, Tenn, is
still awaiting solution, all the clues
brought to the notice of the police since
his disappearance April 3 having proved
fallacies. The Scotland Yard authorities
have practically discarded the theory
that he has been the victim Of foul play
but are at loss to find a reason why
he should have vanished so completely.
The American Detective Burns is work

originated in Barcelona. He was formal

Yard this morning by Irwin B. Laughlin

LEWIS HAS ANXIOUS TIME
Senator-EIect From Illinois
Worried Over Election
Legality.

James Hamilton Lewis, senator-elect
from Illinois, who arrived in Washington
yesterday, spent an uncomfortable halt
hour last night when it was suggested
| to him that Secretary of State Bryan
might proclaim this morning new con-
stitutfonal amendment providing for the
direct election of senator's and that his
election by the Illinois legislature might
be invalidated. Investigation of the
facts. however, convinced Mr.. Lewis that
when the governor Of the state gave him
his credentials as senator any danger OF
the new amendment being applied in his
case was over.
1t had been expected that Mr.. Lewis
would take the oath of Office yesterday,
and a number Of the members Of the
Illinois delegation came over from the
House to see the new senator sworn in.
He will abe sworn in when the Senate
assemblies tomorrow.
No Doubt of Legality.
AS both the new Illinois senator's, Lewis
and Sherman, were elected by the legis-
lature twelve days before the state of
Connecticut, by it's affirmative vote, gave
vitality to the constitutional amendment
regarding the direct election of senator's
the State Department officials have no
doubt of the legality and suff1ciepsv of
their election and their title toVfheir
seats.
1t is admitted, however. that there ex-
lists some doubt as to whether the seven
tenth amendment automatically became
effective on the day that Connecticut
made up the necessary three-fourths vote
Of the states In it's favor, or whether the
amendment does not become operative I'M
til the Secretary Of State issues formal
notice. The contention in the latter case
is that some Of the votes may have been
irregularly and illegally recorded, which
fact could be determined only by the
State Departments Investigation
The state OF New Jersey has notified
the State Department of its approval of
the seventeenth amendment making only
twenty-four states, SO far, that have
made the necessary returns to the State
Department, Notwithstanding Secretary
Bryan's appeal to the governors of the
states who have not yet reported.

| Charles III. Mann. for thirty -four years
| superintendent of the press gallery of the
House of Representatives. died early this
| morning at Providence Hospital after an
illness of several weeks. He was seventy
| four years old His health had been poor
for several months. and in spite of the
advice of his friends insisted on remain
ing at his post during the trying days of
the last session. Shortly after the ad-
Journment he suffered a breakdown.
The announL ement of his death UNI
doubtedly will call forth wealth of REM
iniscences from statesmen, officials of the
government and from newspaper men all
over the United States, for it is probably
true that he had a wider acquaintance
of this sort than any other man in the
world. He was known as Charlie Mann
to scores of writer's who have passed
through the press gallery and to the men
who are there now.
In spite of his age, he had some Of the
lively qualities of much young man,
and his sharp wit, combined with kind
~ humor, gave him personality not
easily found.
He has endeared himself to the
thousands of public men and writer's
with whom he came in touch.
Adopted Son of Maryland.

of the state of Maryland. He was born
In Doylestown, Pa, October 4, 1910,
but his parents moved to Towson. Md,
while he was small boy. He lived
In Towson twenty years and enlisted
from there in the 1st Maryland Cav
airy, a Confederate Organization, and
fought with it for two years.
He came to Washington with Rep
resentative j. Fred c. Talbot, dean
OF the House. of Towson. thirty-four
years ago, when Mr.. Talbot first
came to Congress.
He was appointed superintendent of the
press gallery. and remained in charge
since that time. He did not separate HIM
self from Maryland politics, however, as
he remained a voter in Baltimore county
for fifty years. He was q true lover of
good horses. He was an expert on rae
ing facts. and when Congress was not in
session spent much of his time at the i'm
portant meets.
He was in charge Of a portion of the
press section at the Baltimore conven-
ton: and the unauthorized person who
tried to make his way into the desira bile

gave way and he retired to a hospital.

wane and he simply fell asleep for all
time.

How It Should Not Be Done.

The Secretary Of Commerce, Mr.. Red
field, talked on how welfare work should
not be done, and declared he had no use
for welfare work from above, inspired
by authority.
"Such work. Mr.. Redfield said. will
fail and ought to fail. I know great
concern which built clubhouse for it's
working girls. and 1t was turned over to
them, but 1t did not belong to them, and
they had no voice in it, and were recipi-
ents of charity. They thought 1t was
lovely and used it for few weeks. but
then they ceased to use it. This concern
thought that the girls were ungrateful.
but they were not-they were merely self
respecting and did not want charity. So
that clubhouse plan and piece Of welfare
work fell through.
The factory in which l was partner
put in baths for the men. and the men
resented it. l am trying to show you
that much of the welfare work that is
being done is being done wrong. The
men felt that these baths were not
theirs. They had not asked for them,
and there those baths stayed, unused.
until We came to our senses and founa
way OF getting them used. We
should have had some Of the older men
in the factory arrange it, and not i'm
pose our ideas on these men. Eventu
ally We got the baths used, beginning
one hot day when workman felt worn
out and was told by the foreman to
take shower.
1.-THE workman was afraid to do SO i'm
working hours. afraid the time would be
taken out of his pay envelope, but the
foreman assured him ii would not be, and
later on when another workman felt
played out his mate suggested his taking
shower. When the men found they
were not charged with the time the GUS
tom grew. and in three years We had
those men coming to work In their good
clothes and hiring a laundryman at the
factory to wash and take care Of their
working clothes.
