Sighting Of Dr. Wiedfelt By Baroness de Cartier de Marchienne Viewed As Af- front To Coolidge

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. More serious consequences than were at first expected are possible as a result of the reported refusal of Baroness de Cartier de Marchienne, wife of the Belgian ambassador to accept Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt the German ambas- sador, as her escort recently at the formal White House diplomatic din- ner.
 Capital society, which viewed the incident lightly and considered 1t looking toward President Coolidge and guessing whether he will make 1t the basis for official action. Espe- cial interest Is evidenced among the diplomatic corps, some members of which, it Is understo believing the snub has presented a grave ques- tion.
 The apparent tendency of the White House is to suppress disAus- sion, indicating President Coolidge would prefer to have the matter pass over. It is pointed out. however. the Baroness de Cartier affronted one of the Presidents guests and thereby indirectly affronted the President himself, which is regarded as most serious offense.
 Whether the incident will be taken up with the state department by the German embassy remains to be seen Dr. Wiedfeldt did not become ac- quainted until a day or so ago with the full story of how arrangements for the affair were reu.ade by the White House at the last minute and consequently could not appreciate the snub directly at Germany by the Belgian ambassadors wife. Persons who attended the dinner feel he could not but have noticed

NEW UNIVERSITY
 ID OPEN IN FALL
$2,000,000 Already Ex- pended On Louisiana State
 Institution

BATON ROUGE. La., Jan. 5.-v(As- sociated Press.)-The new Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical college, designed to be- come ultimately one of the greatest educational institutions in the south, will be opened in the fall of 1924, according to plans of the building committee. The complete project cannot be carried out at this time, however, because of shortage of funds. About $2,00o,ooo already has been expended.
 Ten buildings have been completed. and under construction are two ad- ministration buildings, the George Peabody hall with the teachers col- lege. and four buildings for the agricultural department. =
 Laying of the drainage system on the athletic field is under way and construction of concrete stands will begin February 1. The initial con- struction will provide for the ac- commodation of 12.000 and 1t Is planned to build temporary stands to accommodate an additional 5000.
 The new university is two miles south of Baton Rouge and occupies a tract of 2,000 acres on plateau about 30 feet above the normal water level of the Mississippi river. The tract has an abundance of mag nolia and other semi-tropical trees. All of the principal buildings are connected by tunnels and arcades which permit passage between them without exposure to the weather.

disposition by the Baroness to ignore him, however, as the rearranged seating order placed the two together at the table, though the baroness was relieved of the ambassador as her escort. According to one version, she than in the ambassadors direction.
 White House officials absolved those in charge of the dinner from any blame in throwing Dr. Wiedfeldt and the baroness together as part ners. Such functions, 1t was ex- iron -clad rules, the most important of which Is the observance of rank and any violation of which would put the entire occasion out of har- mony.
 There is reason for thinking this is exactly what occurred, as members of the corps are too well posted on precedents not to know that some- thing had happened to cause an ex- traordinary arrangement of escorts. One view was that some of those present felt that they were tread ing on eggs"
 The latest incident of the kind, now being recalled. happened while MT. Wilson was President. Though not exactly similar, it is being used to show the delicate situations which arise among diplomats and which ap- pear at first to be trival but later assume importance.
 An attache of the British embassy made unfavorable comments about President Wilson at dinner. As soon as they were repeated at the White House a request for the attaches recall was made. The failure of Lord Grey, then ambassador from Great Britain. to accede to MT. Will sons wish resulted in his never be- ing received at the White House. Lord Grey did not remain as ambas- sador very much longer.
 It would cause no surprise If Baron de Cartier should be assigned to an other diplomatic post, though neither the White House nor the state de- partment has made known yet any official position on the incident.
