MRS. con, REMAINS

Mrs Cox, you know, Elories in
being just Mrs. Cox, the governors
wife. She says she is not a suffragist
but. oh, no! certainly not an anti
since the governor approves of suf-
frage. She doesn't pretend to know
anything about politics-says so
melessly-admits that when she
reads a Republican paper she feels
that her husband hasn't the ghost Of
a show, and when she reads a Demo-
cratic paper she wonders pityingly
why Harding should Waste his time
in campaigning. and hopes he won't
feel too badly when it's all over.
Naturally, the fierce suffragists re-
gard her rather scornfully, and say,
condescendingly: "Oh, well, she's very
young, and very much in love-. AS
IL those were not two of the most
greatly ito be envied conditions that
mortals ever know! But hold-there
is just one thing in which the gov
ernor's wife admits that the governor
does not quite measure up to stand
ard. She says-whisper ii low-that
he's really an awful dub at bridge,
which is her game. And in the next
breath she admits, as FACILITATING cir
cumstAnce, that she is an awful dub
at golf, which is his. But. except at
bridge, she is entirely at her hus-
bands orders, and says, just as If this
was not an age Of feminLSts: I'VE

Also, whisper again, she actually
darns her husbands socks when
there's nobody else around to do 1t;
and she's not a dub at that, having
been brought up in a family of boys
and having thus had plenty OF prac-

ABIGAIL II. HARVEY.

The one marriage Of the week which
took place properly in Washington
was that of Miss Abigail Holman Har-

garet's at $50 o'clock yesterday-and
was followed by a very jolly and in
formal reception just for young peo-
pie, at the home OF the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick l.. Harvey.
And then, after Captain and Mrs. VIII
laret had slipped away on their we'd
ding trip, the ushers took the brides
maids up to Wardman Park Hotel
and the wedding wound up with a
dance.

The wedding was the climax of a
very gay week for the popular bride
and her attendants, az there was a
party every day and sometimes two
or three. 1t was an unusually pretty
wedding. too. For the crisp organdie

brides soft ivory chiffon gown, made

appealing on warm summer day.
The dinner which the Secretary of
War and Mrs. Baker gave for the
Governor Of Porto Rico and Mrs

parties of the week. Then there was
dinner on Friday night with Col

Nixon. owe were waiting for copy
Of the opinion Of the court, which was
received only this morning. Our chief
counsel, Terence Farley, has read the
opinion and he advises me that the
court holds that the Public Service
Commission has the undoubted right
to regulate streetcar fares of all lines
constructed under legislative charters
or municipal franchises granted prior
to 1875, when the constitutional amend
ment requiring the consents of the
local authorities took effect; also that
the commission has the undoubted
right to regulate fares Of all streetcar
lines constructed under municipal
franchises granted subsequent to July
l, 1907, the date when the Public Serv-
ice Commissions law took effect; SINH
larly that it has the undoubted right
to regulate fares Of lines constructed
under municipal franchises granted be-
tween 1875 and July 1, 1907, when such
franchises contain no provision fixing
the rate of fare.
"The full effect of the decision,
therefore, is to establish the jurisdic-
ton of this commission over all street
railroad rates within the City of New
York, except for a comparatively small
number of important lines constructed
under franchises issued between 1875
and July 1, 1907, and fixing by definite
provision the rate of fare"

German Gas and Shells
Make France Bloom Ane,U
Kaiser's Armies Unwittingly Transformed Sterile
Areas Into Some of Worlds Best Agricul-
tural Land, Says Hugh Fullerton, Farm Expert

Devastated France Is now fertile
agricultural country, rich with red
clover and alfalfa. German shells did
the blowing and German poison gas
fertilized the soil. The great need of
France to-day is labor saving devices
which can be welded by the old men
and boys, who are the only farmers
left.
This was the report brought back
from France by Hugh Fullerton, of the
Long Island Agricultural Experiment
Station, on behalf of the American
Committee for Devastated France, of
which Miss Anne Morgan is the head
Mr.. Fullerton discussed the needs of
France at a meeting yesterday after
noon at the headquarters of the COM
mittee, at West Fortieth Street.
"The French agriculturists believed
that the devastated areas would never
again be productive" he said. ~ went
over two months ago convinced that
this was not true. because l had had ex-
perience in tearing up Long Island soil
with dynamite and had found the sub
soil fertile. 1t is an old axiom Of agri-
culture that the subsoil cannot be pro-
ductive, and the French government,
acting onFthis premise, had condemned
large portions Of what used to be the
most productive areas of France.

ment visited one Of the worst bits Of
Monkey Plateau which was taken and
retaken eighteen. times. Not trace Of
cellar wall remains to tell Of its viii
lagos, and the soil was overturned to
the depth of two to five feet.
"At the foot Of the hill the French
experts were still maintaining that
nothing could grow there. When we
reached the top we found ourselves
wading knee deep through the richest
red clover have ever seen. The leaves
were as big as silver dollars. Alfalfa
covered the deepest holes.
II will say this for the French: They
were prompt to admit their error.
Within two days the order condemning
this territory was revoked. Four thou
sand people returned to their old homes
in one day.
ut appears thai the blowing done
by the shells brought to the surface
the deep soil which contains valuable
materials of which the top soil, used for
generations, had been depleted. Riding
through France. one can trace the lines
ed, by the richer, darker green Of the
wheat growing in the deep plowed SOIL"
German tools and farm animals re-
turned to France under the terms of
the peace treaty are of inferior quality,
and by no means a restoration of the
things the Germans stole during the
war, Mr. Fullerton said He declared
the tools were Anticipated and the ami
mails small-slzed and diseased.

Battling Nelson Asks
$255,OOO for Arrest

Battling Nelson. former lightweight
champion, began suit in the Federal
Court yesterday for $255,000 against
the Nemours Trading Corporation of
New York. He alleges that this concern
caused his false arrest while he was
at the Grand Central Palace during the
company's shoe sale there. At that time,
it was charged that Nelson attempted
to steal a So pair of shoes.
Nelson, in his complaint, says that
his various enterprises are worth $780,
900. He says that on May 20 when
his arrest occurred, he was in this city
as guest of A. J, Drexel Biddle.
According to his attorney, Robert x.
Muzmier, Nelson went to the Grand
Central Palace on that date and pur-
chased one Sc and two 81 pairs of
shoes. These were wrapped up sep
arately. He received a receipt from
the cashier for the two 81 pairs and
believed another receipt was inclosed
in the other package. He was arrested
as he started to leave the building,
locked up in the East Sixty-seventh
Street police station, and later dis
charged in Night Court.
"Mr. Nelson" his attorney remarked
yesterday, "has never had a conviction
of any kind against him and has al
ways ben regarded as a man of un-
improbable character"
