Keep 800 Open.
John B. Densmore, director general
of the United States employment serv-
ice, predicted that when the returns
from the states are complete it will be
found that considerably more than
three hundred federal offices will be
open through voluntary contributions
From the end of March to June 80, he
said. more than four hundred offices
were kept in operation by outside
funds in expectation that after the
latter date the employment service
would be able to resume their financ-

preparation for the new fiscal year, he
explained, continued support is being
asked for the next five months, within
which period, 1t is understood con-

for permanent service.

Pitiful Ending Of Career Of Sir
Luke White, Once Member
of Parliament.
BANKRUPT and A WRECK
Some Of His Poor Constituents Lost
Their All by Intrusting It to Him
War Makes Financial
Distress Known.

London-From position of affiu-
ence, popularity and public service
which won him seat in parliament
and knighthood, Sir Luke White is
ending his days as the inmate of a
workhouse infirmary In Driffield. Clev-
er enough to rise from poverty to n
noted career, injudicious investments
brought him low, and ut the height of
his political power he was forced to
confess himself bankrupt. He carried
down with him numerous trusting CON
stituents, and his liabilities of S135,-
900 included $1,000 in loans from
poor people who had confided their all
to him. The shame of having thus
wrecked the savings Of those who be-
ieved in him completely unnerved
him. Now he is dependent on public
charity, his spirit utterly crushed, and
he Is one of the most pitiful figures in
the north of England.
Began as Office Boy.
Born In Deighton, near York, in
lS45, he was an office boy at fifteen
for solicitor, WHO paid him about 80
cents week. After eight years in
that service, of course with increasing
Income, he became managing clerk for
another solicitor in Driffield. In an
other six years he was admitted to
the bar as solicitor, and in the same
year he succeeded to the practice of
his employer. who had died.
He speedily became known as n
local preacher and speaker for large
district, and he was highly popular
and successful. For years he was
chairman of the local board, and then
Of the urban district council. Then he
went to the East Riding county coun-
ell. In 1896 he was appointed one of
the coroners for East Riding. He act
ed as election agent for Sir Angus
Holden, Liberal member of parlia-
ment for the Buckrose division. and
when Sir Angus died in 1900 White
was chosen as his successor. In 1908
he was knighted.
Popular For Years.
He continued to divide his time be-
tween his attendance at Westminster
and his business In Yorkshire, but as
