RELL WINS SOCIAL CON
QUEST IN ROME.

Many Prominent Social
Affairs
By the United Press.

Rome. Feb. 27.-Demctrio Coro-
mi!as. formerly Miss Anna T. Cock
rel, daughter of senator Cockrell
oil Missouri, has Just effected the
conquest OF Rome. She has done it,
too, III very much the same way
that Caesar put over one OF his vic
tories. She came. she saw and she
conquered She didn't have any
edge either over Caesar as regards
t,itiicultics aud opposition.
The announcement from Athens
OF the appointment as Greeian minis
ter to Rome OF Signor Coromilas,
former minister to Washington and
later minister OF foreign affairs in
the Greek cabinet, aroused a storm
OF protest at Rome.
King Constantine made the ap-
| poiutment, it is declared, merely
because she wanted look in on
! Roman society,
Between this allegation and the
fact that it was under the admins
| tration OF Signor Coromilas that re-
/ lations between Italy and Greece be-
came much strained. Rome prepared
to give a cold shoulder to Signora
Coromilas,
4 number of Roman papers sug-
gested that if the American wife OF
/ the Greek minister had merely want
| ed to come TO Rome because she had
the idea that Rome was something
| of climatic resort. she would like
/ " find herself mistaken They ill.,
| timated that she would encounter q
rather frosty atmosphere here.
Signora Coromilaa. however has
now been here just a month and
! Rome is at her feet, At recent
dinner given by King Victor Eman-
uel in honor of the Greek Premier
Signora Coromilas had a post of hon
or close 10 his majesty and carried
off donors of being one of the most
beautiful and brilliant women pres
eut.
Any freshness that might have
still lurked in the bosoms of some
had to thaw out by force after the
attention paid to signora Coromilas
by the King, and her conquest OF
the court and diplomatic circles is
now conceded to be complete.

A Worthy Project Launched

When the executive board of the Central Bu-
reau of Charities and Social Service employed
John Melpolder as its managing secretary, they
secured q man whom they are confident will sue
cessfully carry out the third and the most scien-
tific charity project in the United States, unique
for it being undertaken in a city of Richmond's
size.
Today Mr.. Melpolder will launch this project
formally.
The first principle of charity relief is funds.
To the general public, this is the only principle.
In the past financing charity has harrassed our
business men, who have been solicited by half
dozen charity agencies, either personally or by
general appeal, a number of times each year.
Heretofore the man who has been sustaining
charity by his donations, has never known where
the money went to that he has charged on his
expense account under the head "Charity" He
might have doubted whether his money was
wisely spent, but his doubts were always extin-
guished by his conscience.
However, Mr.. Melpolder is brought to Rich
mond to carry out the workings of a perfect
checking system. Funds will now be solicited for
only one charitable organization, the central
bureau. The money will be placed in a bank, SUBJ
ject to the administration of certain persons
These men will merely pay the bills which are
contracted and approved by the societies which
constitute the central bureau. Every cent which
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-09-21

is spent must be with the approval of the manag
ing secretary.
It is in the detection of unworthy cases and
the scientific treatment of any cases the bureau
has, that Mr.. Mepolder's talent and previous
knowledge will be directed. Personally he will
handle no funds He will act as director of
charity.
Mr.. Melpolder is a man adequately fitted to
do this work. He will concern himself chiefly
with probing into the causes for charity relief
and will then apply remedy for such cases
worthy of public aid.
AS his work progresses, Mr.. Melpolder will
gradually extend it's scope. He will add free
employment bureau, which will furnish employ
ment for men and women worthy of such assist
ance. He will not begin this work now as he will
first secure the cooperation of manufacturers,
merchants and other business men as necessary
adjunct to the success of the employment bureau.
This is Of the more comprehensive plans
which Mr.. Melpolder will work out. He has num-
bers of others for relieving more aggravated
cases.
The fiscal board which will have control of
the finances of charity in Richmond, and Mr.. Mel
polder will work out. He has numbers of others
for relieving more aggravated cases.
The fiscal board which will have control of
the finances of charity in Richmond, and Mr.. Mel
polder have met every day for a week and have
accomplished real work in going over and sorting
out the real material for financial campaign
To show that the position of managing secre-
tary of charities will be no sinecure, Mr. Mel
polder has for one of the mottos of his office
