N0TABLES ARRIVE
FOR CONFERENCE OFF
CONSULS GENERAL
Service Now ON Par
With Diplomatic
Corps

TiE conference OF ohiteu
States consuls general at large.
called by Secretary Hughes and
Wilbur j. Carr. director Of the con,
sular service. has brought to Wash.
ington an exceedingly interesting
group OF young men. From the
four corners OF the earth they have
come-RaIph Totten from Europe;
Robert Frazer, jr, from South
America; Norton, from Sidney,
Australia--he's not a consul gen.
eral at large. but must have some
special business with the confer.
ence. as he has come all the way
from the AntipoGes to attend-and
such others as Roger c. Tredwell,
Nathaniel b. Stewart. Charles C.
Eberhardt. Arthur Garrels, Nelson
T. johnson and William Dawson.
Time was when- the consular
service was regarded as poor re.
lation OF the diplomatic service,
but that time has long gone by.
The vast Importance of the work
OF this branch of our State Depart
ment's organization Is now recos.
nized and a remarkably efficient
machine has been built UP under
the direction of Mr.. Carr.
THE duty Of the consuls gen
eral at large is to visit the
various consulates in their terri
tory, make inspections and keep
them lacked up to the highest ef.
ficiency; and they have been
brought together here to compare
notes and exchange ideas. Ralph
Totten returned to this country
ten days ago, or a fortnight before
the conference convened. and has
been visiting his mother In Nash.
vile, Tenn. He has had long serv.
ce abroad and hopes that he will
raw a home billet this time, re-
naming in Washington for the
next two years or 80. Robert Fra.
ger, jr.. whose territory ranges
from Central to South America,
and takes In the West Indies. is
visiting Roger Tredwell what time
he is in the Capital.
MI. Tredwell, who has recently
been made consul general at large
in Canada, IL I mistake not, has
been on duty at the State Depart
ment for some time and, with his
mother. Mrs. Arthur Burton. and
his sister. Miss Jessie Tredwell.
has been making his home in
Washington.
While this conference Is going
on here, Herbert Hengstler. chief
OF the consular bureau and Mr..
Carr's right hand man. is travelling
abroad conducting a series of con.
ferences among the consuls In each
country he is scheduled to visit.
He started in Switzerland. viii end
up in Germany and. when last
heard from was visiting the James
Barclay Youngs in Venice. Mr..
Young Is at present our consul at
Venice, but I understand he has
been ordered back home and that
he and his pretty wife may be ex-
pected In Washington before long.

Margaret Wilson
Visiting i'm Town
HMARGARET WILSON'S in

"MARaARET WILSON'S in
town; I really must send her
a telegram" heard someone say
the other day. And when I looked
rather surprised at the sugges-
ton of telegraphing to someone in
the same city. the speaker went
on, IT don't know the Wilson's
telephone number, you know
nobody does and the quickest and
surest way to communicate with
Miss Wilson. who Is visiting her
father for a few days is by teler
gram"
That nobody" has Former Pres
ident Wilson's number is almost
literally true. 1t appears that
when he and Mrs. Wilson moved
from the White House into 2840
s street. Mrs. Wilson gave the
number to a few close friends
and before they had been installed
in their new home q week every
body seemed to know 1t. They
were 50 pestered by calls from all
sorts and conditions Of people that
they were obliged to have the
number changed in self defense.
And this time they really did keep
1t a profound secret.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson.
Mr.. Wilson's physician and de-
voted friend. has 1t, Of course, and
presumably Mrs. Wilson's family.
But Mr.. Tumulty. Mr.. Wilson's
former secretary, didn't know It
even before the late unpleasant
ness" and Miss Wilson purposely
refrains from learning the fateful
number lest, perhaps, she be
tempted to pass 1t on.
THIS gives rise to a good many
amusing incidents. Miss Will
son has a way, for example, Of
calling up her friends in Washing
ton when she is in town and, II
they are out, leaving word for
them to "call Miss Margaret Will
son"-which is a good deal easier
said than done. Moreover. one time
just before the McAdoos moved to
California, the former Secretary Of
the Treasury rang up Miss Wilson
in New York to ask her fathers
telephone number, stating that
"Nell"-Miss McAdoo-wanted to
ring her. father up. Miss Wilson
didn't know the number, Mrs. Nc
Adoo didn't, and long distance
wouldn't give It up. Mr.. McAdoo
got the night manager on the
phone, explained who he was, and
what he wanted, and asked to be
put through. Even that request
was refused, although the manager
stated that he recognized Mr.. Nc
Adoo's voice and was sure It would
be alright. Orders were ORDERS,
and they had been told not to give
the number to anybody, even Mr..
Wilson's daughters. SO eventual.
ly Mr.. McAdoo had TO telegraph
Mrs. Wilson to call up Mrs. Nc.
Adoo.

Reed of West Virginia expressed con-
fidence today that he will be able to

that he has been careful to get writ

forestall any serious objection on the

Among these changes he considers
that of doing away with the sub
lease evil as the most important He
believes that the enlargement Of the
commission and allowing the five
members individually to conduct
hearings will do away with the much
criticized delay in getting decisions.
He pointed out also that - has been

U. S. RELIEF WORKERS
REPORTING ATROCITIES,
FIND LIVES IN JEOPARDY

By the Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE.. May 1s.-
Publication Of reports by Ameri-
can relief workers in the interior
Of Asia Minor concerning the sys-
tematic persecution OF Christians
by the Turkish nationalists has
3eopardized the position of the
workers. IT is declared in American
missionary circles here.
Many Of these reports had been
submitted confidentially to the
league of nations. and 1t is believ-
ed that prompt and energetic ac-
tion by the powers is necessary to
secure the safety of the agents.
now that publicity has been given
to their evidence.
All the workers corroborate the
stories of atrocities especially the
progress of the so-called white
massacres, which consist OF driv-
ing parties of Christians from
place to place until they die from
sickness, famine or exhaustion.
The statement issued by the
Turkish nationalist representative
here that some OF the missionaries
and relief workers had denied the
reported atrocities is declared by
the missionary authorities to be
fabrication.

FRIENDS OF BONUS
LOSERS At POLLS
Recent Pennsylvania Primary
Results Hard to Analyze,
However.

Except in the case of the renomi-
nation of Senator Pepper. where the
Issue was more acutely drawn. an
alysts OF recent primary results in
nomination contests are experiencing
difficulty in drawing fair conclusions
as to the influence of the pending
bonus legislation on the verdict at
the polls. In that instance. the in
ference that the result evidenced SEN
timent against the bonus seems more
discernible, for two reasons-first.
because Senator Pepper made no con-
cealment Of his opposition to the
bonus. but, on the contrary, rather
welcomed opportunity to declare
himself, and, second. because his ma
jority over his opponent, who sus-
tanned the bonus proposition. was so
marked. while at the same time the
party organisation back of him did
not support Candidate Alter for the
governorship.
Bonus supporters Lose.
It develops that several Of the re-
publican candidates for tho House
who failed Of denomination had voted
for the bonus in the House, and stress
has been laid upon that fact by those
who are contesting the plan. Yet, it
is known that other considerations
entered into the contest besides the
bonus question. Representatives Wal
failed. voted for the bonus. Repre-
sentative Focht, however, who claims
nomination on later returns. also
voted for the bonus.
Gov. Sproul of Pennsylvania, in his
statement, laid the result in Pennsyl-
vania to q number of causes, includ-
ing discomfort, unemployment and
restlessness. and it is said by poll
ticians that In some cases the wet
and dry question entered.
Liquor Issue in Illinois.
In Illinois. where Representatives
Copley and Ireland, both supporters
Of the bonus, were defeated. it is
asserted that the wet and dry in
terests figured materially, although
no direct issue was made openly.
The bonus question Is not thought
to have Influenced the defeat of sen-

made any decided announcement as
to his attitude. His friends say they
would class him as being not very

being held today, may throw more

ence of the service mems vote and
the bonus is expected to play a prom
inent part.
