PRINCESS LIVED IN D. c.
Met First Husband at Sons Bier,
But Did Not Speak.

The latest sensational developments
in the marital troubles of Princess
Elaine Won der Lippe-Lipsky and her
husband, Prince Nicholas Won der
Lippe- -Lipsky. recall incidents that
Princess was we'll known in Wash
ington as Mrs. Charles Lee Phillips.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillips met for the
first time in an interval of fifteen
years last June over the casket of
their son. Lieut.. Wendell K. Phillips,
who was killed when his airplane
crashed near Baltimore, while he was
en- route to Washington. Mr.. Phillips
at that time told a reporter he and
Mrs. Phillips had been separated
for fifteen years.
Not ever the presence of their lost
sons body served to mend the breach
between the princess and her former
husband
Fate guided them to the bier at the
same moment, but they gazed into each
others eyes over the body Of their son
without the slightest sign Of recognition.
Mother and father accompanied the
body to its last resting place in Airing
ton national cemetery. but each rode In
q different car and parted after the
funeral without even having passed a
word to each other.
Mrs. Phillips is nationally known as
the founder of the Garry On Club,
whose headquarters here is at Scott Cir
Gle. She was interested in many
philanthropies.
Mr.. Phillips was a captain in the
ordnance department Of the Army, and
stationed here during the war. He had
come to Washington last June to see
his son fly.

RECLAMATION OFFICE
Shift is SUGGESTED
Former Interior Secretary Would
Move It to Denver or Other
Western City.

Removal of the entire reclamation
administrative organization to Den
Yer, Col, or to some other western
point convenient to the principal
projects was suggested today by for
mer Secretary Albert B. Fall as a
remedy for existing ills of govern
ment irrigation development.
Mr.. Fall gave as further handicaps
Of the governments reclamation pro-
gram the inaccurate estimates pub
lished for each project. Not single
case, he said, had come to his atten-
tion where the completed cost was
not greatly in excess of the original
estimates.
He said it had been computed that
all existing projects could be COM
pleted for from SIS to $40 per acre
when as a matter of fact the average
cost to be met by the settler had been
from s65 to $50 per acre.
Another drawback listed by the
former secretary was the policy of
keeping in supervisory offices the en-
gineers who had been in charge dur
ing the period of construction.
He had found, he said, that a sci
enlist is not always good business
man nor Is a good engineer always
good manager, and recommended that
officials more converSant with the
problems of a farmer be placed in
charge Of the governments activities

CONTROLLER UNDER
FIRE OF SENATORS
Legislation Limiting Author
ity of Office to Settle U. S.
Claims Contemplated.

Recommendations for legislation
limiting the authority of the con-
troller generals office in the set
tlement of claims against the gov
eminent are forecast as a result of
disclosures before the Senate COM
mittee investigating the Veterans
Bureau.
Sharp questioning and comments
by senator's followed the frank state
ment to the, committee yesterday by
W. E.. Gordon. an attorney in the
controllers office. whose salary is
$4,000 year. that he had settled q
claim OF $4,000 in full without ref
erence of the matter to his. superior
or calling for detailed information
from. the. Veterans Bureau, which
disallowed the claim.

filed a counter one for $4,000 against
O'Brien on the ground that he had
been oyerpaid for the first drawings.
Gordon said he was following the
office in disposing of the claim in the
manner in which he did. Senator
Reed, republican. Pennsylvania, chair
man of the committee, said he thought
there should be legislation affecting
the general accounting office, while
Senators Walsh, democrat, Massa-
chusetts. and Oddie. republican. Ne
vada, the other members of the COM
mittee, expressed surprise at the
manner in which the office operated.
Committee In Recess.
After four successive days of hear
ings the veterans committee was in
recess today. having adjourned until
next Monday. With the committee
sitting only three or four days a
week, the investigation probably will
continue through the remainder of
this month, and perhaps after Con-
gress convenes. Leads developed in
the Veterans Bureau have carried
the inquiry into several other gov
ernment agencies, and its scope may
be enlarged before the finish.
Charles R. Forbes, former director
of the bureau, whose name has fig
ured extensively in the hearings, has
not yet indicated when he will ap-
pear to answer charges made against
him, but he probably will not take
the stand until all matters relating
to him have been presented by inves-
tigators for the committee. He is
attending the sessions daily now with
his counsel, and his comments on
some of the testimony frequently are
audible around the counsel table.
A report on the progress of the in
vestigation was laid before President
Coolidge today by Chairman Reed.
who said he believed the evidence of
such Importance that the President
should be acquainted with it.
Senator Reed said he did not dis
cuss with the President the question
of further legislation to restrict the
powers of the controller general, but
on leaving the White House reit-
Grated that something must be done
about that Office"

Demand for Transfers From
Washington Laid to OBJ
lection to Leases.
CALIFORNIA RESERVES
EMBRACED IN DISPUTE
Commander Stuart, in Charge Of
Field, Ignored by DENLY,
Committee Is Told.

Former Secretary Fall demanded
the transfer from Washington of
naval officers who objected to leases
he proposed to make on naval oil re-
serves. Commander H. A. Stuart of
the Navy. testified today before the
Senate public lands committee inves-
the subject.
Commander Stuart, who testified
he had been in charge of the naval
reserves in the Navy Department
from 1918 until April 5, 1922. said
Secretary Fall had insisted that Sec
DENLY should detach him and
Commander Shafroth and send them
out of Washington. Commander
he explained, also was con-
nected with the reserve section.
Protests to Fail.
The witness said the demand was
made after the two officers had pre-
sented to Mr. Fall their objection to
the granting of certain leases which
he proposed to make to the United
Midway Company to open wells on
naval reserve No. 1 in California.
During the period the Navy De-
partment had complete control over
the reserves nothing had developed,
Commander Stuart asserted, which
made it desirable in his judgment to
transfer their administration to the
Interior Department. The Navy, he
said. in handling the reserves had re-
ceived all necessary assistance from
tho geological survey and the bureau
Of mines and was fully competent to
them.
Says DENLY Ignored Him.
No naval officer, Commander Stuart
testified, had approved the transfer
and replying to an inquiry from
Senator Walsh. democrat, Montana,
he said that although he had been
in direct charge of the naval reserves
for several years he was not con-
suited by Secretary DENLY concern
ing the desirability of such a course.
The naval Officer said that In his
opinion Secretary Falls demand for his
removal from the city was due entirely
to the views he entertained concerning
what should be done with the naval re-
serves. He had no information in ad-
vance, he said, of the plans of the In
terror Department to lease Teapot Dome
to the Harry F. Sinclair interests.
So far as he was informed. Com
mander Stuart said, there had been no
drainage from the Teapot Dome re-
serve prior to the granting of leases by
the Interior Department. Prior to Sec
retary Falls administration of the re-
serves. he said, there had been only
one or two wells in the Salt Creek field
from the reserve. and these.
he insisted, were not draining it.

MANILA. November 2.-Filipinos
are gathering at San Fernando, Pam

ciety modelled after the Irish Sim
Feiners and having for it's motto,
Everything for the Filipinos." Hun
dreds of petty leaders who command

ticipating. These delegates come from
Pampanga, Bulacan, Nuevascija,

inces of central and western Luzon.
That the attitude of the coalition

selves was demonstrated here re-

When members of the party remon-
strated with them and warned them
of the consequences of such action on
their part, they became sulky and re-
fused to continue the journey. When
finally liberal reward was offered
them to complete the trip. the men
replied: This is not American terri

completed without violence
This incident is significant a show
ing the perverted political notions
current among government under

reading biased arguments in the
vernacular press, in which cartoons
depicting the weakness of the United

frequently published.

NEW YORK, November 2.-David
Lloyd George. the little Welshman
whose services to Great Britain as
cabinet minister and premier during
the first two decades of this century
have made him almost as well known
historical figure as the diminutive
Corsican who dominated France early
in the last century, tonight will de-
liver his parting message to the
American people.
At the Metropolitan Opera House.
on the eve of his departure for Eng
land, Britain's wartime premier will
face the last public gathering of his
present tour, which has carried him
to more than score Of American
and Canadian cities.
The staff of the opera house Is pre-
expected to fill the large theater and
to overflow to the streets.
Elaborate police preparations have
been made to handle the crowd and
to nip in the bud any possible an
tagonistic action on the part Of Irish
republicans, who have threatened to
heckle the British statesman.
Hints Important Utterance.
Mr.. Lloyd George, addressing at the
Lotus Club a gathering of American
men distinguished in many walks of
life, told of the deep impression his
American tour had made upon him,
but intimated that he held in store
for tonight's meeting the core of his
message to these shores.
His tour here, he said, had been a
very wonderful experience for him.
II go away" he added, with a feel
ing of the immensity of this great
country, the infinity Of its resources,
it's unlimited possibilities, what it is
capable of, not merely here on the
influence which it must have on the
world now and in the ages to come"
America, he declared, had in many
ways helped create the solidarity of
the British empire, which made the
dominions flock to her aid in her
hour of need
What happened in your war of in
dependence" he said, made that pos
sible. In your great struggle for
Independence, you started the British
empire on the career which made it
more powerful than ever, which made
1t more beneficient than ever, which
made 1t an empire of liberty instead
