SHELTON WILLIAMS
 GOES ID PRESIDENT
Republican A. P. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, April 17-John Skelton Williams, purchasing director for the railroad administration today laid before President Wilson at the session of the war cabinet his side of the disagreement between Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield and the railroad administration, over the question of car shortage at coal mines and railroad methods in purchasing their coal SUD- ply. There was no announcement af- ter the meeting but it is understood the difficulty will be adjusted one way or the other soon by direction of the president.
 pr. Garfield's Stand
 Dr. Garfield, who attributes the ser ious loss in coal production recently to shortage of cars at the mines. has been conferring with MT. Williams for more than two weeks without result He planes the shortage largely upon the practice of the railroads guaran- teeing a 20 per cent car supply at the mines furnishing their coal in return for reduced prices. Bernard Baruch, chairman of the war industries board, has participated in the discussion and is said to have taken the same position.
 On the other hand. the railroad ad- minist sation's attitude is that the gov ernment cannot afford to saddle extra expense of coal purchases on the rail- roads under federal operation and con- sequently the pre-war policy of coal buying must be continued.

CHILEAN AMBASSADOR S CALLED BY DEATH
[RepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Senor Don Santiago Aldunate, Chilean am bassador to the United States. died at hospital here late today, following a stroke of apoplexy, suffered this morning while walking on the street.
 Arrangements for the funeral have not been made, but the American gov ernment according to precedent, will offer to convey the body to Chile on Warship.
 The ambassador, who was 50 years old, had been in his usual good health He left the embassy for a walk and had gone only few blocks when he was stricken. He was taken to a near by hospital, but did not regain con- sciOusness.
 Ambassador Aldunate was widely known in diplomatic circles both in Europe and the western hemisphere. He at one time was Chilean minister for foreign affairs and in 1907 was ap- pointed minister to Rome. where he re- mained until given the post of am bassador to the United States two years ago. He succeeded here Senor Eduardo Suarez- Mujica, who resigned in January, 1916, on account of ill health. Soon after his arrival here he accepted on behalf of his predecessor medal awarded by congress to Senor Suarez-Mujica and the ambassadors from Brazil and Argentina for their work at the "A. B. C." conferences to settle the Mexican difficulty.

HOUSING MEASURE MEETS OPPOSITION
 FROM REPUBLICANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Unex- pected opposition from the republican side prevented passage of the S60,- 100000 bill for housing war workers in the senate today and determined ef- forts to amend the measure will be made tomorrow before the final vote.
 Republican Leader Gallinger de- clared provisions of the legislation for communicating of dwellings was "step toward a species of autocracy," while Senator Fall of New Mexico, republican, said the measure was in response 'to the voice of the master" Claim Vital Necessity Senator Swanson of Virginia, chair man of the public buildings committee, and other democrats defended the legislation as vitally necessary to ex- pedite manufacture of war materials. Conflict of jurisdiction between the shipping board and department of labor, which would administer the s60.000,O00 provided in the pending bill, Senator Harding of Ohio de- clared has delayed the shipping boards housing program under the $50,000,00 it was authorized to spend | last March, particularly in Newport News, Va, and Sparrow's Point, Md. An amendment by Senator Harding providing that the government should not rent dwellings built for less than six per cent of the invested capital was adopted.
 Suggesting that the president in- stead of the department of labor should be given power to carry out the housing program, Senator Fall, said:
 Give President Power T have no confidence in the presi- dents cabinet, nor in their ability. In my. judgment they have proven themselves absolutely inefficient. I am not going to vote to clothe them with any further power I will vote to clothe the president with absolutely autocratic powers. The president stands responsible to the people fol the conduct of the war. He shall not hide behing the skirts of Hoover or Garfield or William B. Wilson, secre- tary of labor, or Baker. The president is the secretary of war, the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy"
 Senator Nelson of Minnesota asked
 if the plan was to give the labol
 department a rowing commission" tt
 construct houses wherever it desired
 Senator Swanson said it was proposed to provide housing only at sertair points where it was needed.

 Nothing Left for Huns Sometimes there is no way of saving valuables of bulk in towns which came first under the fire of the German troops. Relics and treasures represent ing the savings of years have been abandoned to the flames and plum 1 derers. Many things have been delib- erately destroyed by their owners in order that the Germans might not get them.
 ! Leaves Home of Years | The correspondent spent q night re- gently at a small hotel in a hamlet whose doom seemed to be sealed. The gray haired matron who presided oyer the destinies of the inn was getting ready to leave. Her husband is an of ficer in the French army, and she was | left alon to plan, not only for her es- tablishment, but for her three children. It was touching sight to see her going sadly from room to room of the place which had been her home since t6e day she was married. The correspondent found her at one time gazing at a priceless piece of ancient oriental em- broidery, which had been intricately framed and hung on the wall.
 Have you a knife?" she asked sud- denly, as she reached up and removed the treasure.
 Nothing for the Boche
 The knife was produced. She stood the frame before the correspondent and said: Cut it, please. I will not leave this for the Boche." And so the silken fabric was slashed from the frame. Ii seemed like sacrilege or vandalism. but there was no other way. This embroid- cry and few more valuables were the only things which could be removed from this combined inn and residence of one of the most prominent families in that part of the country. As the ma. tron passed into another room she wa. murmuring softly to herself: "Oh. my home, my home!"
