FEAR ROWS MONDAY

Providence, April 2S.-With Off
GERS in charge of the National Guard
troops on strike duty in the Paw
tuxet Valley declaring that they have
received no directions to withdraw
and with local civil authorities as
sorting that they are fearful of pos
sible happenings on May Day, next
Monday, if the troops are recalled
before then, it appeared likely to-
night that Governor San Souci's or
der for the rehabilitation of the
guardsmen tomorrow would not be
carried out.
Interest throughout the valley in
the situation was intense, as it has
been generally expected that May
Day would be accompanied by dem
onstrations by strike sympathiZers,
especially in some of the villages,
where mills are operating in part
with the aid of strike breakers
brought in from outside.
A committee of Blackstone Valley
labor leaders repeated to Gov. San
Souci today their request of last
Wednesday that guardsmen be sent
back to Pawtucket and that the
deputy sheriffs on duty there be re-
moved. They presented to the gov
ernor list of acts which, they al
legged, the deputies had been guilty
- Sheriff Jonothan Andrews, in
charge of the deputies, told the gov
ernor that he was trying to put only
his best and most dependable men
on duty in Pawtucket. Some de-
puties, he admitted, had been found
unfit" and removed from duty and
dismissed, while others, he said. hac

Sheriff Andrews surprised the lab

OESCHANEL, Ex-
PRESIDENT FRANCE
DIES IN CAPITAL

Paris, April 2S.-(By A. P)-Paul
Deschanel, former president Of France,
died today after an illness Of less
than a week.
The former presidents eagerness to
be up and doing, notwithstanding his
long weakened condition, played an
important part in the Fastening Of his
death. He insisted last week on leav-
ing his residence before he had COM
pletely recovered from a cold There
was relapse Sunday and double pneu-
monia DEVELOPED on Wednesday.
NJ. Deschanels retirement from the
presidency because of illness and his
effort to recover his position in Par
lament are regarded as forming one
Of the greatest tragedies in French
public life in recent years. The per-
sonal policy Of Deschanel in his po-
litical career before he came to the
presidency was SO to manage his
course is not to undertake positive
responsibilities which would bring op-
position to him from either of the i'm
portant political groups. tie preferred
to arrive at his aims by Cancellation
or concession; by combining adverse
views under the single formula; and
by the compelling attractiveness of
his personal qualities he avoided TAX
ing political r jponsbilitias.
This he could not do on becoming
president. He then conceived it to be
him duty not to sign decree or other
document without informin: himst If
fully as to its meaning. In consequence
lie toiled away at night, frequently I'M
til the morning hourse. His wife and
friends expostulat, / with him, lit h
was persistent.
Then Deschanel began to believe he
was being spied upon and conspi. d
ainst. He suspected not only his po-
litical rivals. but his friends. Then
came his spectacular fall from The
window of the presidential train; his
night walk along the railroad tracks in
his pajamas and his extraordinary con
versations with railway employees he
encountered, which were received by
the French public with a curious mix
ture of sympathy and derision.
After this NJ. Deschanel went into
retirement at Rambouilette, where he
had misadventures which are regarded
by many persons as attempts - sui
eide. Alexander Millerand, then pre-
mier, urged that Deschanel resign
This he did with great reluctance
Then he lived in seclusion + c--.ntol
month.
suddenly it was announced that Des-
chanel was to become a candidate for
the Senate and later he was reelected.
He took his seat in the upper cham
Der, looking fral and with restless
eyes; but there was some recovery of
his old charm of manner and grace of
expression. On various ocC--ione he
said he intended to take part in de-
bate; he announced intcrpellatio-s
that he purposed to put to the govern
mcnt. These interpretations ney r
carried out, nor did he make any
speech.
The former president Yves really an
obscure person in Il place where once
he had been one Of the foremost fig
ures of France.

proud of YOU" First high school class

With such expressions he rejoiced and
made proud the youngsters. When they
were grouped again on the White House
grounds it was a task to suppress their,
eager desire to give three cheers for the
President. which would have shocked the
sedate and aristocratic dwellers on the
side of Jackson Square.
Mr.. Tumulty had many surprising re-
quests and if he will write another book
of his White House experiences telling OF
the unconventional side of his activities
there he will be the author of best seller
Once Representative, American born of
Irish accent, asked Mr.. Tumulty to loan
him a White House automobile. What
for?" asked the amazed secretary
I've a German constituent here who
controls whole ward in my district" the
Representative exclaimed. IF I can drive
him around Washington in a White House
car and show him all the statues to German
heroes no man in his ward can cast vote

in danger of his life.
German statues-where are they?"
Leave me to find them, joe" the appli-
cant replied
Mr.. Tumulty's own car happened TO be
parked outside the office, so way to crafty
his friend was easy TO devise. The German
Boss was taken to the White House, intro
duced to Mr.. Tumulty, who, after little
said to the Representative: How would
your friend like a ride around town in a
White House carr"
AN honor my constituent is well worthy
for to receive" exclaimed the Representa-
tive
I'D do this for no one but you. Keep it
to yourself Mr.. Tumuty warned. THE
car is just by the gate outside"
The Representative whispered to the
chauffeur and they were of. AS result
of that whisper the car was driven slowly
through the city of marble, set to the
lovely grove except when it passed a
statue: then il speeded

the proud but astonished German was con-

of statues raised to a dozen Of Germany's
foremost martial heroes.
"Yes," said the Representative, Il think

frankly admit it was hard work in some
cases. But I never say die-you know
that"
your success is colossal!" declared the
German. 'Tn remember it."
I'm fixed for reelection as long as
live" the Representative later assured Mr..
Tumulty Unless that German comes
down here some time and makes tour of
Washington in a sightseeing bus one of
those with an Orator to name all the
statues and everything"
And if he does?' Mr.. Tumulty asked
IF he does" the Representative replied
gloomily, "me for one way ticket to Aus

The first big reception given by the Will
sons taxed even the enlarged facilities for

through channel leading to the parlors
where the President stands at the head of
the receiving line. This outward flow is
controlled by young army and navy officers
who mark with silk ropes the course of
guests as in single file they approach the
receiving line. The trouble arose from the
polite but urgent efforts OF All those closely
packed in the East Room to reach the,
silken gate at the same time. Then some
bright young social aid devised a scheme
which worked well and caused some merri-

the main hall into the East Room and

VIZ HEN President Roosevelt found
wv upon moving into the White
House, that his home was in
his office or his office in his home. he
properly did what any of the five or six
Presidents preceding him would have been
justified in doing, demanded additions to
the White House; one for official uses
and one for social purposes There was
not little opposition to this by those of
nothing but sacrilege in modifying an
antique. They argued as if the White
House were an old tea cup or a grand
fathers clock, valued for its antiquity,
and the more cracked and less adapted
for its ostensible purpose the more pre-
cious.
But Roosevelt's impetuosity won. Two
wings, nicely designed to be inconspicuous
and not to detract from the beauty of the
main building We're added to the White
House; one, extended toward the Treasury
Building, contains ample space and facili-
ties for handling, at a reception, hundreds
of guests who park their wraps and hats
in corridors where colored maids and Wallets
wait upon them, and further along are
dressing rooms where women guests may
do their last bit of toilet adjustment and
give such modest aid to nature as a
powder puff effects and where the vainer
of the sexes. man, may adjust his tie.
smooth or disorder his hair as he prefers,
and in other ways prepare to conquer.
From the floor where these aids are avail
able guests ascend to the main floor,
where the handsome hall, the small parlors
the state dining room and the impressive
East Room are the scenes of all the large
social affairs.
That East Room has fascination for
me because it was there that Dolly Madi-
son is reported to have hung out to dry
the more important and fragile articles
of White House laundry. Through the
long windows of that handsome room one
may step out onto the tiled fiat roof of
the east extension on summer night
for after dinner coffee and cigars or for
promenades between dances.
The Roosevelt west wing is for official
uses There is the Cabinet room, and
there the President and the secretary to
the President and the White House clerks
have their separate rooms and there is
also a room for the press correspondents.
These extensions in no degree detract
from the beauty or dignity of the White
House; they are low and the lines are
drawn with successful purpose to harmon
ize not only with the famous old building,
but also with the landscape; and as the
east extension is fanked by the massive
Treasury Building and the west by the

State-Army-Nav Building their becom-
ing modesty is emphasized.
The Presidents large private office is
guarded at one door by the office of
the secretary to the President, and at
all other points of approach by experienced
and courteous Secret Service men who
have wide acquaintance with Washing
ton cranks who are numerous but gem
orally of a harmless variety; those who
have cures for all governmental ills but
who are quietly shooed away with kindly
advice to take up their important business
with the constable of their own home
town.
The secretary to the President and the
executive clerk take proper care of nine
out of ten who make their business
calls at the offices and ask for interviews
with the President, but that remaining one
tenth is numerous; yet if their business
can be done only with the President they
seldom fail to have a personal interview
with him. Any President, my own OBJ
servation leads me to believe. will in
convenience himself rather than disap-
point visitors whose urge to meet him is
not political, but it might be said senti-
