Duke, WaHy
Reject Bids
T0PdrtieS

U.N.SO. The Duke of Windsor,
who is arriving in the United
States on ArmiStice Day for tour,
has temporarily regretted" that
he will be unable to attend the
winter dinner of the Gridiron
Club. President Roosevelt and
other high-ranking Government
officials, including Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, are to be
guests at the dinner.
In a cable message to the club
from Paris, signed simply Ed
ward" the former king stated that
his full schedule" Of industrial
tours would preclude his attend
ance. The dukes American repre-
sentatives, however, do not con-
slider the decision final.
In a similar message to the Wo-
mems National Press Club, the
duke declined an invitation to him
self and the duchess to attend a
luncheon party.
The former kings reference to
his crowded schedule was inter
preted here as meaning that the
famous pair will accept few social
engagements about the Capital.

STATE DEPICTS
MRS. HAHN AS
MASS PO|SONER
Testimony Of Physician
Aids Prosecution

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 81
Q.N.S0.-The final blows in the
States case against Anna Marie
Hahn echoed today through the
court room where she is on trial as
the alleged poison murderer OF
moneyed old men.
Prosecutor Dudley Outcault held
high hopes that the croSs-examina-
ton of DR.. George C. Aldemeier
would sharpen rather than dull the
States picture Of Mrs. Hahn as a
mass poiSoner."
OBTAIN DELAY
DR.. A1demeier yesterday de-
Scribed his examination Of George
Heis. a 62-year-old cripple, de-
scribed by the prosecution as the
lone survivor" of Mrs. Hahn'S
circle of elderly men friends. He
said flatly that Heis suffers from
arsenic poisoning.
The defense obtained an over
night delay for cross-examination
on the statement that their at
tempt to break down the doctors
diagnosis would consume consider
able time.
HeiS testified earlier in the day
and dramatically accused the
blond defendant of poisoning him
with a dish of spinach she had
brought to his house. Previously
he had given her $4,000, he said.
NEARS CLOSE
The appearance of the pallid,
Sickly man was considered the
high point Of the prosecution in
its campaign to show that Mrs.
Hahn was responsible for other
poisonings beside that of Jacob
Wagner. for whose death she is
on trial.

WELFARE FUND
MUST Be ASKED
FROM CONGRESS-
Budget Lacks Sum For
5000 JobIess Workers

WaShington'S civic organ1za'
tons. primarily interested In the
city'S welfare problems, must turn
10 Congress for additional money
to care for 5000 destitute en-
ployables, it was indicated today.
While Welfare Director Elwood
Street addressed the annual meet
ing Of the Board Of Public Wei
fare last night, warning the city
that these persons are facing dire
poverty next year, word leaked
out that the District Commission
ers did not ask the Budget Bureau
for the $1,125 900 estimated as
necessary to meet this emergency.
DETAILS UNDISCLOSED
Although the details Of the dis
cussion between the Commission
ers and the Budget experts were
not revealed, it was reported, that
the welfare estimate for next year
remains $1,411,5 500, the same as
last year, to aid all classes on
relief.
AS explained by Director Street
and the Welfare Board, this
amount is Just sufficient to take
care of persons in the city who are
unable to work. 1t can not be
stretched to take care Of the per.
sons who are able to work but
cannot find jobs.
URGES SECURITY CHANGE
Although last years appropria-
ton did not specify how the
money should be spent, the Wei
fare Boards justification, sent to
the District Commissioners with
the request for the additional
SLIPS, 900 several weeks ago, en-
phasized that the $1,411,500 eSti-
mate would barely be enough to
care for the unemployableS.
Street advocated an amendment
to the Social Security act to care
for the workable unemployed: He
said:
There is just as good reason
for grants in aid for relief of the
unemployable and for the unem-
ployed who cannot find work as
there is for the aged. the blind
and children who have been de-
prived of support of parent.
MISS HOEY SPEAKER
Grants in aid should be ex-
tended on a $3.50 matching
basis for general assistance to
those who are in need outside
the present limited categories,
including aid for non-residents,
many of whom are without any
legal residence anywhere"

Duke, Happily We'd,
Plans to Keep Busy
Looks FOrIOGrd to u.
S. Tour, He Says
Nv KENNETH r. DOWNS

PARIS, Oct. ~ U.N.S)-In his
first public address since his un-
forgettable abdication farewell to
the world over the radio from
Windsor Castle, the Duke of Wind
sor described himself as a very
happily married man" today.
The duke, scheduled to leave
shortly on a lengthy visit to the
United States with his duchess.
delivered his speech as honor
guest at q luncheon Of the Anglo
American Press Club.
Referring to the new journey,
and his recent trip to Germany,
the duke said:
ACTS AS INDIVIDUAL
"Our visit to Germany has
been very interesting. We are
looking forward to our tour Of
America and to further oppor-
tunities Of making a study Of
methods adopted in the leading
countries of the world with re-
lation to housing and industrial
conditions.
I'm this connection I wish to
make it perfectly clear that any
journey I have undertaken or
may plan in the future I do as
a completely independent OBJ
server without political consid-
erationS of any sort or kind
and entirely on my own initia-
tive"
EXPECTS TO WORK
He lost no time in reiterating
he has no intention Of leading a
life of idleneSs and intends to con-
tinue the study of working and
housing conditions which en-
crossed him on his recent visit to
Germany.
II am now a very happily
married man." he said, "but my
wife and I are neither content
nor willing to lead a purely in
active life Of leisure"
Seventy-eight active American
and English correspondents, many
of whom knew the duke when he
was king, accorded him a tremen-
dous ovation at the luncheon
table.
DIVORCE ANNIVERSARY
They recalled that it was just
one year ago today that the
duchess obtained her preliminary
divorce decree from Ernest Aldrich
SimpSo in Gondon-the incident
that set in motion the train of
events which eliminated in the
dukes abdication as king and their
subsequent marriage in France.
Percy Philip, president of the
club, introduced the duke to the
journalists and took occasion to
thank him for daring the lions
den"
Il don't think there is any.
thing to fear in a lions den
when you're on friendly terms
with the lions" the duke re-
sponded with a smile.
CHIDES PRESS FOR TALES
Despite his cheerful demeanor,
the duke chided the press for its
speculation" over his activities.
TN the light of recent press
comments" he said, 81 feel
called upon to say a few words
which do not concern public az
fairs but which are of a per-
Sonal nature.
II can assure you that the
sentiments which prompted
this invitation prompt me to
speak openly and to say that
there are occasions when the
spirit Of understanding men
toned by Mr.. Philip has not, I
regret to say, always been re-
ciprocated by the press.
II am not criticizing anyone
present, but direct my remarks
to the press as a whole. Some
recent miSstatements concerning
the duchess and myself have
caused us considerable concern
and embarrassment and might
well lead to dangerous conSe.

COMP IANCE WORK
ABOUT COMPLETED
50 Percent of Conservation
Program for 1897 Is Now
Finished

Cottage Station, Raleigh, Dec. o.
The work of checking farmers COM
pliance- with the 1887 agricultural
conservation program is about 90 per
cent completed, H. A. Patten, of State
College, revealed today.
Some counties have completed all
their field work and are now prepar-
ing growers applications for pay
ment for submission to the State of
flee at State College, he said.
As fast as the applications are
checked at the State office, they will
be authorized for payment. However,
Patten said it may be some time yet
before checks are mailed out.
A few counties were delayed in
their work because the aerial photo
graphs used in checking compliance
were not completed as soon as in
other counties. These counties expect
to complete their checks in two to
three weeks, Patten added.
In checking compliance, county
committees determine whether grow
ers planted more than their allotted
acreage of soil-depleting crops and
whether they carried out the prescrib-
ed amount of soil-building practices
for which payment is offered
It has been found that with aerial
Photographs, the areas of farms and
different fields can be determined
more accurately and with less ex-
pense than can he done with ground
measurements.

HOBBIES HELP
PAIR TO ENJOY
u. 5. WORK

Sparetime activities in which
they indulge frequently, plus an
intense interest in the work they
do for the Government, make life
a pleasure for Mrs. Lou Briggs of
the Soil Conservation Service and
Elmer M. Amundson, Farm Credit
Administration.
Both workers have been with the
Federal service a comparatively
short time, but they quickly dis
covered the fact that an interest
ing hobby will go a long way
toward making the routine of
Government toll lighter.
Mrs. Briggs, who resides at 3241
N st. N. W., is an avid hiker, al
though walking through the coun.
tryside is by no means her only
activity when she is away from the
office. Hiking. however, is her
favorite and she is a member of
two organizations devoted to the
pastime, the Y. W. c. A. hiking
group and the Wanderbird Hiking
Club.
Plans Sunday Hike
She probably will be among the
group who will walk eight miles
on Sunday, from near Laurel to
Beltsville, Md, under auspices Of
the Wanderbirds, who sponsor a
woodland excursion each weekend.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio,
where she attended high school
and business college, Mrs. Briggs
enjoyed a course with the Chicago
Art Institute before coming to
Washington about four years ago.
Her first assignment under Uncle
Sam was with the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, where
she worked for six months, and
late in 1885 she transferred as a
stenographer to the Soil Conserva-
ton Service.
She has many other interests.
Her son. Gilbert, 10, tops all others
and in addition to hiking she says
travel, swimming. reading. dane
ing land even laughing" are
among her frequent activities. If
she hadn't joined the Government
service she thinks she would have
enjoyed hotel work as a career.
Drawing His Hobby
Drawing and art work in gen.
eral are the avocations of Mr..
Amundson, who has shy, brown
eyes and is somewhat retiring in
nature. He is now studying art at
George Washington University,
and would like eventually to be.
