WOMEN REFUSE TO BE BARRED Oar the Ntr Department OrJerd WITH ntmr at Hone Wki Haibnda West to Sea, bat la Vala. WASHINGTON, AprU .-John Hay had I a saylnc- that the Ideal diplomatic service If any government ever succeeds In having one will be coirpoaed exclusively of un married men. Mr. Hay had had no ex- j pcrlence In naval matters or he might J have Included the navy In his maxim. There probably Is no branch of the gov- eminent service where petticoat influence la so strong as In the navy. Ak any ex l secretary of the navy about It and he will B tell you how the navy women In a Jk -A i thou- and different ways, sometimes uncon sciously and occasionally deliberately, an noy the Navy department. He wl'l tell you how they scheme to obtain desirable posts of duty for their husbands or sons and how they annoy the department with re quests for change of orders when their husbands are transferred from an easy Job In Washington to sea duty on the Aslatio station or some other far-away tropical post. The recent row at the Bos ton navy yard, which culminated In the court-martial of two officers, illustrates the prominent part women often play In cavy circles. now la Traditional. Almost everybody knows of the mutual 111 feeling existing between the navy women and the department. Every once In a while something happens to widen this breach. Only a few days ago Enlgn Charles M. Austin, son of Representative Richard W. Austin of Tennessee, was de prived of an especially desirable berth by the Navy department merely because he got married. He had been detached from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the Washing ton navy yard and ordered to Japan for duty as a student attache at the Amer ican embassy at Tokio for the purpose of studying the Japanese language. On the way to his new post of duty he stopped at his former home In Tennessee and was married to girl he had known for many years. This was too much for the unromantlc departmental authorities, who suddenly decided that a married ensign would not make, as good a student of the Japanese language as a bachelor. Accordingly , his orders were revoked and Instead of spend ing his honeymoon In Toklo he will have less Interesting service at the naval traln I lng station on the Pacific coast. He will, ' however, have his wife. ' Wife Roles the Ship, i Before the days of steel and steam in I the navy the wives and families of com i mending officers of cruising vessels en ) Joyed the privilege of living on board. ! There was a vessel years ago cruising In the West Indies that was commanded by a mild-mannered and quiet officer. His wife, who was on board, was of a different disposition. She was overbearing and had a bad temper. The officers on board re garded her as the real commander, of the hip and obeyed her commands with even greater alacrity than those issued by the nominal captain. One day she decided that the ship needed painting and ' the sallom were ordered to begin work with their pota and brushes. She gave free rein to her artlstla Ideas. The captain's gig, which she used In going ashore, was redecorated under her personal supervision. At her be hest It was painted green outside and pink lnaide. "I thought it would be pretty," she ex ' plained to her husband, "to have it pink ' inside and sreen outside just like a sea- I hell." Sometimes a Tragedy. But sometimes In the old days there was an element of tragedy In the incidents Such a; one occurred on the sloop Tennes see years ago. It was a hot and sultry summer night while the Tennessee was cruising In mldocean off Hampton Roads. The captain and his wife had gone to their cabin, but the heat was so oppressive they could not sleep. Finally In the hope of coaxing sleep they exchanged bunk. Shortly afterward a light breose sprang up and both went to sleep. In the middle of the night the rapid falling of the barom eter gave warning that a storm was ap proaching. The navigator sent a midship man below decks to awakn the captain. He spent several minutes rapping on the captain's cabin without avail. The mlddlo knew that the cnptaln must be waked promptly at all hazards and he had been directed to enter the cabin if rapping would not suffice. The young midshipman en tered the cabin and stood In the middle of the room a minute or two yelling. "Cap-1 tain," but without avail. Finally the mid dle realised that he hud to shake the cap tain to rouse him. Ho figured out that the captain always slept In the berth on ihe port side, while his wife occupied the otherJ -After convincing himself on this point the middle approached the captain's berth and grasping him by the shoulder i shook him with more energy than judg I ment. There was a feminine shriek. Th ; captain Jumped out of the opposite berth and made a few emphatic remarks upon the impropriety of invadln the captain's cabin without knocking. The bewildered middle had visions of court-martial and dismissal from the service In disgrace. Rut : the captain was good hearted and did not make a complaint. Yor Her Comfort. Often the itinerary of a cruise was regulated by the wishes of the Captain's i wife. This occurred some years ago on a . naval vessel enroiue irum m j Hampton Roads. The captain's wife was a ! poor sailor and had had bad spells of sea sickness if It was rough going. The vessel made a long detour to the South Atlantic so as to avoid the storm area. The vessels were many days overdue at No. folk and the officers of the deartment became anxious. Finally, however, it sailed Into Hampton Roads and reported its arrival to Washing ton. When tho department asked the cause of the unusual delay the captain re ported that he had to steer an unusually long and roundabout course to save his wife from seasickness. Efforts to Break. It I P. In ISM William H. Hunt, then secretary of the navy. Issued sn order forbidding naval women from living aboard or travel ing upon cruising vessels. But this order did not entirely solve the problem. Wives or officers went to the cities at which their husbsnda' vessels made their headquarters. In Rlu de Janeiro and Yokohama were large colonies of navy women, who resided there while their husbands were cruslng In the vicinity. These cruies were never of great length, because the 'officers did not care to remain away from port very long. Efforts were made to break up these colonies, and on July b. 1&&3, William K. t'handler, secretary of the navy, Issued an order that caused a revolution among the women of the service. It was genersl order No. 307. which read as follows: i Naval officers attached to cruising ves sels, especially commanding officers, are expected to leave their families at their usual or fixed places of abode, and not to attempt to transfer them to niore con veiifiit visiting points. Officers disregard ing this injunction will be liable to be re lieved from duty. This roused the navy "widows," as they are called, to the highest pitch of recent ment, and they revolted. The wife of an officer serving In Alaska took up her residence at Sitka, where her husband's vessel often stopped. It was a plain viola tion of the secretary's regulation, and the department ssked the officer for sn ex planation. His reply was substantially as follow s: "My wife will not go home, f have asked her to do so. and she refused. I ordered her home and she would not not go. Please advise what further steps I shall take to comply with the wishes of the department." The archives of the department unfortu nately do not tell the sequel of this Inter esting incident. Similar Instances were reported from various parts cf the world. Secretary Chandler made an effort to enforce his unusual order by suspending from duty three officers on the Asiatic station. Finally, however, William C. Whitney, who suceeded Mr. Chandler as secretary of the navy, realized the hopelessness of enforcing the order. The navy women were victorious and the obnoxious order was revoked on June 3w, 1S6. Colonel Kerens Ready to Meet Col. Roosevelt rirst Official Act After Receiving Credentials is to Welcome Re turning Hunter to Vienna. W Widows ItooHil the World. In recent years, however, there hasn't been much friction of this sort. When tne battleship fleet made Its world cruise many navy "widows" followed It and participated with their huxbands In the festivities at the vaiious ports. Practically all of them were at Old Point Comfort on December 1. 17. to watch with unconcealed regret the big war vessels disappearing in the distant haze. A few days later when rumors came from the fleet by wireless that it would re turn to the Atlantic ocean by way of the orient and the Suez canal there was more tugging at the heartstrings. The navy women were well represented on the Pa cific coast when the fleet had completed Its cruise around 'South America. When tlie battleships stopped on their cruise across the Pacific the navy women were there, too. At Toklo they danned the native costumes and greeted their husbands even more cordially than the Japanese. At Gib raltar, where the fleet mode Its lust stop before crossing the Atlantic a small crowd of navy women waved farewell to the departing vessels. One Wife's Strategy. Several years ago the wife of a promi nent naval officer thought she would like to spend some time abroad Without her husband's knowledge she used her Influ ence to have him assigned to duty as naval attache at on of the American embassies In Europe. Finally the orders were Issued and she told her husband how hard she had worked to obtain such a desirable as signment for him. Unlike most naval offi cers, he had been able to save a small competence out of his salary, but he was by no means wealthy enough for a social campaign required of naval attaches at foreign capitals. He remonstrated with her, but she was too enamored with the social side of navy life to give up her am bition. After one winter abroad the finan cial phase of the question began to appeal to her more strongly as their savings grad ually dwindled. She realized the tremend ous cost af attaining her hobby. Her re sourcefulness, however, was equal to the occasion, and after considerable cabling to friends In Washington her husband was transferred to a less, expensive post of duty. There Is a large colony of navy "widows". In Washington, wheae husbands are serv ing In different, parts of the world. While they do not shirk their household duties they seem to have plenty of time for rec reation. Many own automobiles and are expert chauffeurs. Others go in for tennis and golf. There are others who prefer bridge whist and euchre. With all their amusements and forms of recreation, how ever, they all live In expectation of the day when their husbands will have shore duty in some habitable part of the globe BT EMU. ANUl'.ASSY. VIENNA. April 9. (Special Dispatch to The Bee.) Colonel Richard C. Kerens, the new American ambassador, arrived in Vienna today and early next week will present his credentials and be formally presented to the emperor. The first work which will present Itself to Mr. Kerens will be the arrangements for the reception of Colonel Roosevelt. His mr.st difficult task will be that of elimina tion. Everybody In Vienna, from the em peror down, Is anxious to do honor to the famous American ex-presldetit. and there will be a dozen Invitations for every possi ble acceptance. Mr. Kerens Is an old frlnd of Colonel Roosevelt and doubtless not the lea.-t pleasant part of the latter's visit at the Austrian capital will be his talks with the Missouri leader, who will be able to "show him" what has happened In the I'nited States while he has been burled In Africa. . Matter of .Morganatic Marriage. The question of the position of the duchess of Hohenburg, wife of the Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Aus trian throne, when her husband assumes the crown. Is seriously worrying the high Austrian nobility. When -the archduke married Countess Sophie Chotek, he by solemn oath re nounced for his children any claim to .the Ihrone, but there arc Indications that the duchess does not propose to see her eldest son. Maximilian, thrust aside by this oath. She has quietly but effectively gone ahead to strengthen her position in Austria, and when her husband ascends the throne It Is by no means certain that she will take her place beside him wlih her son as crown prince. J The situation Is complicated by the fact that Hungary d?s not recognize mor ganatic marriages. It Is boldly asserted in Budapest that when Franz Ferdinand Is crowned king of Hungary the Duchess Sophie will be crowned queen with him and the little Maxarr.lllan will be the heir to the Hungarian throne. If Franz-Ferdinand should stand by his oath. .so far as Austria Is concerned. It may very well be that there will be one heir to the Austrian throne and another for the Hungarian, which would mean trouble and lots of tt. Use for Yanderbllt Money. Count Ladlslaus Szechenyl. who has bought an extensUe estate at Felso-Rmete, In Hungary, contemplates making of It a show estate. A large mansion Is to be built on the property and It to be known as the Gladys castle, after his American wife. The count and countess will pass the summer In America, returning to their new residence, as soon as it Is completed, in the autumn. Hats In Competition. The ladles of the Viennese nobility took part in a "spring .hat competition", at a charity fete here. The prize was awarded by vote to the wearer of the prettiest hat. Cards Come High. Fined 144 for failing to "declare" a pack of cards .when crossing the frontier from Saxony to Bohemia, an 80-year-old peasant woman appealed to, Emperor Francis Joseph for pardon,' which Was graciously granted.

The building will be brick, 112x132, and will cost $20,000. Two driveways will be provided for machines entering or leaving the building and the offices will be between the driveways. This will be essentially a garage and no cars will be sold. Sixty-five machines can be stored for owners and taken care of easily on the first floor, and no effort will be made to provide for more. New machines have been put in and even facility added to do repairs on cars just the same as if they were in the factory that made them. The building is absolutely fire-proof and safe in every respect. The Paxton-Mitchell Co. have been doing automobile work the past two years, and have the only plant of this kind in this part of the country. Mr. E. TJ. Wilson, a thoroughly experienced and capable man, has had the physical management of the plant since it took on the new work and will be placed at the head of the new plant.

(Special Dispatch to The Bee.) Greece Is looking forward with great eagerness to the near realiza tion of the long-hoped for exit from the north by the building of a continuation of the Larissa railroad through Turkey. Count Aehrenthal's recent utterances have buoyed up the hopes of those who so ardently wish to see Greece united with the outer world and not cut off as she Is today. The Austrian statesman's words were: "In a short time it will be possible to form a junction with the Turkish and Greek railroads near Larissa. This would open out direct communication between Vienna, Budapest, Sarajevo, the Piraeus and Athens. It would also form the short- st route between central Europe and Egypt and India." At the present time French engineers are engaged In hurrylng-up the conclusion of the Larissa line to the Turkish frontier. Meanwhile the Plraeus-Larissa railroad, which was defective In places. Is being strengthened where weak and the entire line to Larissa will be ready at the end of April. It covers a distance of 435 kilo meters. There are ninety kilometers to be completed on Turkish territory to bring the line to Monastlr and when that is com pleted international trains can circulate di rectly betwetn Athens and the whole of Europe. So the Greeks hope that with the good will of Turkey and the powers, in a year and a half direct sleeping car service will be established between Paris, Berlin Vienna and Athens Just in time for the crowds to come and witness the Olvmnin i iiw euuuiiiuu cuiiiiiniiee niu ueciuea 19 I gami-l open the playground In places, to dig I deeply and to apply a powerful weed killer In the hope that it will reach the roots and so destroy the horseradish.

Further evidence that the electric is not confined to city use .ilone la found In an order Just received ' by the Baker Motor Vehicle company of Cleveland, O., - from Sir Edward Clouston, president of the Bank of Montreal, Montreal. Canada. In placing his order Sir Edward specified that the car was to be used between Montreal and hU country place, thirty miles from the city. He inetructed several expert mechanical engineers to inpeot and test the different makes of elect! ics thoroughly, and placed his order for a Baker Electric upon their j recommendation that the car could be de pended upon to negotiate the trip satisfac torily. Nothing could better Illustrate tn? great advance that has been made in elec tric motor car construction, .since but a few years ago no electric manufactured would give such service.

Two cars in particular which had Just been gotten ready for country delivery had the tanks entirely full and they were so found after passing through the terrific heat to which they were subjected. With the ordinary person It is taken for granted that a prest-o-lite tank under these same conditions would be as danger ous and destructive as an equal qtiautltv Jof dynamite.
