PRESIDENTS WIFE
DECLINES GIFT
No Hat For Madame Deschanel-
Ambassador Jusserand Writes
American Milliners That
Present Must Be
Rejected

New York, May 6.-President Des-
chanel of France has refused to per-
nit Nine. Deschanel to accept the
5000 hat offered her by 5000 A
merican milliners for her indorse-
ment of the flour seasons for milli-
merry"
This was announced today at the
convention here of the Millinery job
bers' association when a letter was
read from Ambassador Jusserand de-
clining the American creation made
from materials supplied by each of
the 4S states and decorated with
nine paradise plumes, each costing
$500.
The ambassadorial letter addressed
to Henry S. Bernard, president of the
association read:
"I am instructed by the president
of the republic to inform you that he
sincerely appreciates the motives of
your offer, on behalf Of American
milliners. Since it is not possible for
Nine. Deschanel to receive, under
such conditions any gift of value, the
president begs you not to realize
your intention for which he begs me,
however, to tender you his sincere
thanks"
Hardly had reading of this letter
ended when the milliners were read a
cable from the Society for the I'M
provement of Millinery Art in
France, giving IA points" why Nine.
Deschanel should not accept the gift.

TEST IN DELAWARE
WILL COME LATER

Dover, Del, May 6.-Despite the
efforts Of anti-suffragists to force a
vote in the lower house of the. Dela-
ware legislature today ON the resolu-
ton to ratify the federal amendment
adjournment was taken until May
II without any action on the meas
ure. Suffrage leaders admitted they
lack at least three votes to pass the
measure in the house at this time.
The refusal of the senate, which
yesterday passed the measure, to
message it to the house and the pre-
sentation of the concurrent resolu-
tion from the upper branch calling
for a ten days recess created one Of
the most spirited fights of the special
session, charges being made that the
delay was "for no other reason than
to buy, bribe and cajole members of
the house into voting for suffrage"
The charges were made by Repre-
sentative McNabb, Democrat, of
Wilmington, who declared that he
knew of at least one member of the
house who had been approached.

WORKING TO DRIVE
BOLSHEVIKI INTO CAMP

London, May 5.-Polish troops
under General Pilsudski are engaged
in a strategic attempt to force the
bolshevik armies northward into the
swampy region about Volhyick, ac-
cording to a Central News dispatch
from Helsingfors.
At the same time pressure is be-
ing exerted in the Letitchev region
to gain conrol of the Dneister-Kief
and the Balka-Proskurov railways
this would seriously endanger the
red rightf lank. 1t is believed, added
the dispatch, the bolsheviki have
sufficient forces to frustrate the
Poles in this attempt.

New Orleans, May 6.-"The wei

var" said he. eve have overlooked
he fundamental causes and the hu-
man elements involved"
Thirty years ago, Mr.. Miller said,
the average was 10 families to 100
mes, while today the ratio is 121
families for every 100 dwellings
While 10000 new houses were built
in 1918, he declared 20 times that
number were needed. \
"In 1919," he added "7O, 900 new
dwellings were completed. Mean
5hile weddings continue at the rate
of 100000 a year." A net return
. the pre-war average of 115 fami-
lies for 100 homes would require the
erection of $4,000 dwellings, he
"We are no longer a nation of
said.
ONE owners" declared the speaker.
We are becoming a generation of
irifters, renters, foaters. What the
untry needs is a remedy. Mr..
Miller advanced the community hous-
ing corporation as something for the
next decade to accomplish.

his attitude toward the nomination
was not changed by the California
primaries and that he will not organ

right to elect their President without

he said. ~ ave-certain definite ideas

"I can only repeat what I have
said before" he added, "and that is
that I have never had any personal

SILVER MONEY WORTH
MORE AND PAPER
NOTHING SINCE FIRE

A negro brought into the Planters
Bank recently about 40 silver dol
lars in various states of fusion. His
house had burned down, melting
down goodly portion Of his boarded
wealth, which he had hidden away In
a tin can. A few Of the silver dol
lars are title disfigured except for
many peculiar pimples on the Liber-!
ty Lady's face, giving her the ap-
pearance of having some dread dis
ease. Others in worse condition show
the lady with a bad case of dropsy
and others show hugh blisters on the
face as though the lady was a real
flesh and blood woman badly burned.
The bank will send the money to
the mint at Washington and receive
new silver dollars for old
Silver is now worth more unmint-
ed than with Uncle Sans ofllcial de-
signs thereon, which proclaims it
coin of the realm. But it is not ad-
vised that all who have silver hoard
cd away play the part of the heather
Chinee who burned down his house,
which he had placed live pig, in
order to secure a succuleny morsel
of roast pork. And as it is against
the law to melt coins of any metal,
it is not advisable to compound ar
IN with infraction of Federal COIN
age laws.
The negro also had some paper
money in the tin box, but only a
smell Of burnt paper and a few
ashes were left. 4

STRIKE IN FRANCE
TO HASTEN ACTION
Railroads Will Be Reorganized AS
Soon as Practicable-Plan May
Furnish Probable Basis For
Settlement of Strike Now in
Progress

Paris, May 6.-The strike of rail-
way men, which has now extended to
the miners and lockers and to the
metal workers in the Paris district,
with the threat of a possible general
strike has caused the government to
hasten it's promised plan of reorgani-
cation of the railroads as forecast in
the chamber of deputies on February
"a last.
1t is considered that this plan,
giving control of the transportation
systems to a committee representing
all interests will furnish the probable
basis for settlement of the strike,
which is a continuation of the May
day demonstration with nationaliza-
ton of the railroads as it's chief OBJ
ject.
Unofficial details of the govern
ment's project show that it provides
for controlling council composed of
delegates representing the technical
and administrative personnel of the
railroads, the workmen, chambers of
commerce, parliament and the gov
eminent. Under the plan this council
would have authority to order i'm
provementS and if necessary have the
work done at the expense >of the
companies. Theoretically the COM
panies would retain and operate their
properties, but they would merely be
managers.
One of the most striking ideas is
that of compensation, which under
the scheme would be based upon the
mileage of cars and tons moved by
the roads so that their interests
would be markedly in the direction
of full efficiency of equipment and
rapid movement of freight.
Money for financing improvements
is expected to be found through the
governments guarantee of railway
bonds, although, whether the money
should be raised by each company
separately or by joint action through
the controlling council is said to be
not yet determined. This proposed
law is before the companies and it is
expected they will have their COM
ments or answers ready soon.
Premier Millerand, when the rail-
road men announced naturalization
of the roads as their strike program,
declared that the reorganization
measure would be presented to the
chamber of deputies when it recon-
venes on May II.

FOR. PRESIDENCY.
REFUSES TO CONSIDER ABD1-
CATION OF OFFICE-ELEC-
TIoN CANNOT BE HELD-OF-
FICE WILL BE TURNED OVEK
ONLY TO LEGALLY NAMED
SUCCESSOR

Mexico May 6.-Refusal to aban-
don the residency in face of the men
ace of rebellion featured manfes-
to issued yesterday on the occasion
of the national holiday by President
Carranza.
The president announced that ne
would fight to finish to put down the
rebellion and that he would not turn
over the presidency to anyone except
a legally elected successor. He enun-
ciated the principle of the elimlna-
tion of the coup d'etat from Mexican
politics, asserting that the presidency
must not be a prize for military lead
ers. T..
In the manifesto President Carran-
"a declared it would be impossible to
hold the presidential elections which
had been set for July 4. Also ne
traced the events in Mexico, which
he charged represented a plot by the
followers of General Obregon to gain
the presidency by means OF violence
Ell Paso, May 6.-President Car
rauza was scheduled to leave Mexico
City for Vera Cruz some time today
according to a telegram received
from Nogales, Ariz., tonight by La
Patria, a Spanish language news
paper published here.
The message was signed by A. AL
mazda. head of the revolutionists' de-
nartment of information and propa-
ganda at Nogales.
In view of reports received earlier
in the day that the railroad service
from Mexico City to Vera Cruz, had
been suspended, some doubts were
expressed here as to the probability
that the Mexican chief executive had
been able to depart. 1t was pointed
out. however, that as result of the
critical situation of the federal gov
ernment, a special effort might have
been made to run a special train for
President Carranza.

SUFFRAGE FIGHT
ON IN DELEWARE
Anthony Amendment Ratified BY
Senate-House Will Act Soon

Dover, Del, May 6.-suffrage was
revived in Delaware today when the
state senate passed ratification bill,
II to 6.
After rejecting a substitute offer
ed by Senator Gormley, Democrat, of
Wilmington, providing for referen-
dunn at the next election on the sub
ject the senate adopted the resolu-
tion of Senator Walker, Republican
of Newcastle county, ratifying the
Anthony suffrage amendment.
Senat ors Brown and Palmer both
# Sussex county, were the only Re-
publicans who voted against ratifica-
tion while Senator Price of Smyrna,
Kent county, was the only Democrat
to support the resolution.
1t is proposed to send the resolu-
ton to the house tomorrow where
speedy action on it is expected. AL
though the lower branch of the leg
islature defeated a similar resolu.
tion on April 1 by a vote of % to
9, suffrage leaders claim to have in
creased their strength sufficiently to
assure the concurrence of the house
in the senate measure.
