MRS. Antoinette Carter Hughes,
81, wife of the retired Chief Justice
of the United States, Charles Evans
Hughes, died yesterday after an ILL
ness of several weeks at their resi-
dence, 2233 R street NV.
Her death was announced by her
husband, who handed typewriter
statement to reporters at the house.
Private funeral services will be
held in New York. Burial will be in
Woodlawn Cemetery there.
Mrs. Hughes was familiar figure
In official Washington society since
1910 when her husband first became

their attendance at official affairs.
But, as in Albany, when her hus-

she managed to keep well in the
background.
Helped Husbands Candidacy.
1T was not until Justice Hughes
was nominated for the presidency
In 1916 that Mrs. Hughes was thrust
into the spotlight She travelled 20,-
600 miles on her husbands campaign
train, the first candidates wife to
make such trip. She was available
for interviews in every sizable COM
nIunity. She used to entertain the
reporters with layouts of loganberry
Juice and chocolate cookies. Politi-
clans rated her as the adviser in
whom the candidate had the most
confidence.
Back home in the brick house at
the northwest corner of Sixteenth
ahd v streets NV, where the
Hughes then lived, she heard the
election night report with her hus-
band that he had been elected Pres
ident. The next morning it was re-
ported there was a possibility that
President Wilson was reelected.
The possibility was a certainty 10
days later.
Mrs. Hughes was fond of walking
long distances with her husband
and they had gone on canoeing and
mountain climbing vacations to-
gether.

we, for our part, are ready to
agree that the existing system of
preferences within the British Com
monwealth and empire will be con-
tracted, provided there is adequate
compensation in the form of i'm
provement in trading conditions be-
tween the commonwealth and en-
pire countries and the rest of the
world"
The document, Mr.. Attlee said,
recognizes this fundamental fact:
That lit is essential to clear the
obstacles to our exports of manu.
factured goods without abandoning
the right to control our imports, SO
long as this is essential to our bal
ance of international trade"
Mr.. Attlee said that In negotia-
tions for reduction of tariffs the
parties concerned will not refuse
to discuss modification of particular
preferences on the ground these are
subject Of prior commitments
"On the contrary, he asserted.
all margins of preference will be
regarded as open to negotiation.
1T is recognized that reduction or
elimination of preferences can only
be considered in relation to and in
return for reduction of tariffs and
other barriers to world trade in gen.
eral."
Mr.. Attlee said 1t was hoped that

Britain's Labor government moved
rapidly for ratification of the Bret
ton Woods plan, following compile
tion of negotiations with the United
States for the loan.
The ratification bill had it's first
reading in the House of Commons
Spokesmen for the Labor Govern
nent were confident the bill will
have gone through all necessary pre-
liminary stages by the end of next
week.
Condition of Loan.
British participation in the Bret
ton Woods plan was a condition of
the loan.
The ratification bill provides that
Britain subscribe ST ,300, 900 900 to the
Breton Woods international none
tary fund, and the same amount to
the International Bank for Recon-
stfuction and development.
Another provision authorizes the
payment of additional funds in GER
tain contingencies, such as a decline
in the value of sterling held by the
fund or by the bank.
Willing to Cut Preferences.
Prime Minister Attlee, addressing
Commons last night on the terms of
the American loan, said the British
government was willing to reduce or
eliminate empire preferences, pro-
vided there was adequate compen-
sation" in the form of reduced tar
ifs and general improvement of
world trading conditions.
MIR. Attlee emphasized points to
be noted" including the question
of tariff preference. This, he said,
lis of special interest and impor-
tance to the British Commonwealth
and empire

Attlee said, "sets forth the procedure

A AIRS. DAISY DE MELKER, of
M johannesburg, Union OF South

like most playwrights she wrote her
play after it had been acted. Her
characters were taken from hfe-to
death. And her play was produced
In the johannesburg court.
The scenario started in 1906 when
Daisy Louisa Hancorn- Smith was a
student nurse in johannesburg where
she studied elementary medicine ap-
parently for the accurate COnStruc-
ton OF her plot.
She planned 10 marry Bert Fuller,
a young engineer, in Capetown. But

wedding day, after making a Will

And a good finish for Act / Of
her play
Daisy remained In mourning for
three years, then married William
Alfred Cowel, plumber. in M ar h,
1909 They set up housekeeping in
suburb of johannesburg.
The frequent arrivals of additions

playwriting But in 1917 she decided
TO get back TO work. a pair of twins
died in their infancy. Their son, Les
ter, five, died that October in convul-
sions Eric, the baby. died the fol-
lowing year, also in convulsions.
Thus ending Act III.
Now, with one son. Rhodes Cecil,
six, Daisy could continue with her
; play. She was an avid movie fan and
told her friends she hoped TO sell her
play as a "Perils of Pauline" type of
serial
She thought she'd increase the dra-
matte suspense. And her husband
began to feel unwell. Daisy insured
him for $500 And only just in time
for he died in 1922.

Daisy, now well off, took young
Rhodes TO England with her. But he
would not work, was always bother
ing her for money and drank too
much. She bought him a car, a mo-
torcycle and player piano and car
ried them all back TO johannesburg.
But Rhodes was still a problem.
Daisy decided upon a fifth act for
her scenario.
Meanwhile, she married Mynheer

got Rhodes a job with the Bremers-
dorf Transport Company. But Rhodes
quit his job and, according TO Daisy,
just would not play the game"

She carefully penned a happy
