State Department who thinks wom-
ans place is just about anywhere save
in our legation at Denmark.
The State Department official
argued this way:
President Roosevelt, in sending out
the first woman foreign Minister, was
lucky to have at hand woman who
had been in Congress; who was good
looking who. and he stressed this,
was unencumbered with a husband
who would tag along to Copenhagen,
and with a flock of young children.
Succeeding Presidents, he predicted,
will have to do as much for the
women, maybe more. At least there
will have to be the equivalent of one
Ruth Bryan Owen.
"Suppose," he painted the picture
in horror stricken trhisperS, "the
only iUoDlan available is q terrible
creature, to tChom the party is in
debted: 1Dondn Dith pest OF
husband Who UW trot along and
be the laughing stock OF the lega-
tion;; tDondn Dith some crying
tttttC Cfu L1IuI huS TIC Nofu TIC
used at her heels. Think hoiD
America piH look then"
In vain, Of course, do feminists point
out that more than one man, through
the ages, has been breveted an am
bassador. even though he had a
bleached blond wife who was a social
climber. and a flock Of children who
eloped with quite the wrong people.
There's been much too much talk
of the Washington sirens who hold
salons, chat, always. wittily, with i'm
portant officials, and everlastingly in
fluence the affairs of state.
Now, the town is filling rapidly with
women, nice enough and bright
enough, who, being here about IS min
utes. seek to establish a veritable
Nine De Stael salon. Oh, they get
the crowds, all right. Just hang a
sign on your door. Cocktails and
Sandwiches" and you'll get the crowd.
But there are only few Nine. De
Staels on any horizon. Washington
is no more blessed than other cities.

STATES TO SHARE
Burden OF RELIEF.
Hopkins Announces He Ex.
poets Them to Pay 40
Per Cent.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Relief Administrator Hopkins an
nounced that in general he expect
ed the States and local governments
to put up 40 per cent of the cost OF
relief activities this Winter.
Among the States Hopkins partic-
ularly had in mind are IA he singled
out several weeks ago as contributing
below their ability to pay. Included
among there were Virginia and Mary
land.
Some of the wealthier States would
be expected to put up nearly two
thirds, he said, while some of those
hardest hit by the drought would get
by with contributing 40. Contribu-
tions of the States and communities
in the first two quarters of this year
were estimated at 38 per cent of the
total cost of relief.
New England Leading.
Hopkins commented that all the
New England States had done very
well-better than the Others" adding,
they are more prosperous"
Asked concerning the report of the
American Federation of Labor that
there is more unemployment now
than year ago, ne expressed belief
that there had been "a big decrease"
in unemployment since March, 1888.
He said the relief administration
had decided to provide money to
keep rural schools open in districts
and States which are broke" and
unable to finance normal school
terms North Dakota, South Dakota
and Arkansas were listed as certain
to qualify for such aid. Surveys will
be made by relief officials to ascer-
tain the number of schools needing
assistance and the amount of money
needed.
Expects Increase in October.
A report made public at the press
conference showed 1,387,119 persons
earned s13,820,952 on work relief
projects during the week of October
II. The administration pointed out
that some relief workers earned their
months budget in one or two weeks
and that the total engaged in work
relief during the entire month was
about 100000.
Asserting that this is a favorable
SisIl, I1OphlIlS IepOTleO lIldC lIle NUM-
ber Of persons dependent on relief
payments during September was only
a little larger than in August.
He estimated the September total
at 16,649,072, compared with 16,529,-
472 in the preceding month. The
September total included 4,016.018
families and $4,000 single persons.
Sure, I'm pleased by these figures"
Hopkins declared.
He attributed part of the Septem-
ber showing to increased watchful-
ness against relief "chiselers, but
warned that the first cold month
would be the one to watch" He
expected an increase in October.

BATON ROUGE, La, December IS
-Huey Long today ordered more laws
for his dictatorship, and his political
ally. Gov. o. K. Allen, Immediately
called the Legislature into extraordi-
nary session for tomorrow night.
And, said the dictator of the third
special, session Of 1894, "the legisla-
tors may need a little money for
Christmas" /.
The call for the session, issued just
before noon, enumerated 81 general
subjects to be handled within a l2-
day limit. but politicians said the time
would be whitfield down to five days
if all went well and a new bale of
bills would be passed in the minimum
legal time as in the last two sessions
when the 309th new law for 1884 was
written on the statutes.
More Power Seen.
Outstanding among the items of
call was one to regulate powers,
duties and authority of the Louisiana
Public Service Commission and for
revenues therefor"
This was interpreted as more power
for the Public Service Commission
in its investigation of rates of the
utilities which Long says are "tOo
high"
The pre- Christmas program to be
enacted into law by the time the Sena-
tor leaves for Washington to reintro-
duce his tax on capital wealth in Con-
gress includes:
Tax and liquor subjects, building ex-
pansion at Louisiana State University,
including powerful radio broad
casting station" municipal law en-
forcement, State supervision over in
dustrial pensions, elections and author
ity to force corporations to keep their
Louisiana records intact.
New Orleans Affected.
There was in addition suggestions
of legislation affecting municipal New
Orleans, where Long is striving to
squeeze out his foe of foes, Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley.
The State was stunned by the sud-
denness of the call and citizens specu-
lated wildly over what new powers
would be asked for the dictatorship of
Long.

STRUGGLE IS TERRIFIC

All of these methods may involve
considerable chaos and confusion and
do damage to the financial structure
of life insurance companies, educa-
tional institutions, and savings banks
which happen to be the victims of
these reorganization maneuvers.
What the President, of course. would
like is for all utility security holders
to agree to reorganization plans. But
as long as there are courts and they
decide, as did Judge Grubb in Ala
bama the other day, that the T. v. A.
act Is unconstitutional, the holders
of securities will go to court rather
than surrender their holdings. A
minority of security holders can block
denominations and it would not be
surprising if application were made to
courts to enjoin the p. w. A. from
lending its funds to help conflscate
private property.

CONN GO SETTLES
 $25,OOO ACTION
TrOlley=AutO Collision on East Main Street Is
 Basis of Suit

The $25,OOO civil action of Mar ion L.. Pixley of this city, against the Connecticut Co, pending trial in common pleas court here. was withdrawn from the docket of the court today when settlement out of cour: was effected. The settlement terms were reported to be substan- tial.
 The action was based on injuries the plaintiff sustained Dec 27, 1883, when the automobile in which she was a passenger, was struck by a trolley at the intersection of Well ton and East Main steets. The ma chine, driven by her son, Charles l.. Pixley, was stalled, waiting for the traffic light overhead to change from red to green, the complaint alleged, when the trolley ap- preached and struck the automo- bile from the rear.
 The highway was slippery, caused by an accumulation of snow and ice and the brakes of the troll ley failed to hold, the complaint charged. The sanding apparatus on the trolley was alleged to have been defective. The plaintiff suf- fered injuries to her leg and back which have caused her to have a permanent limp, the suit claimed.
 Attorney I. William Pasternak represented the plaintiff. Attor- ney Edwin H. Hall of New Haven appeaed for the defendant. The $5.00O companion suit of Mrs Mar ion Wooster, daughter of Mrs Pix ley against the Connecticut Co was also withdrawn today. Mrs Wooster was a passenger in the same car with Mrs Pixley and was also in- jured.
