.Williams Makes
Sharp Attack on
Price of Steel
Controller of Currency De
clare Kates Charged During
.War Were Unreasonable
Demands Reduction.
t hlcaio Trlbun-0mh Dm Leed Wire.
Washington, Feb. 26 Calling up
on the United States Steel corpora
tion to make heavy reductions in
jirices of steel and iron products,
John Skelton Williams, who retires
next' week after a stormy career of
right years as .controller of the cur
rency, charged that the prices during
the war years' were unreasonable and
Mill Continue to be "excessive and
unjustifiable."
Si r. Williams made public a let
ter written to E. H. Garjvfhairman
of the United States Steel corpora
tion, on February IS, in which he
declared that price reductions could
be made without cuts in wages or in
dividends, and that such action would
prove a quick stimulus to general
business.
Mr. Williams also made public a
memorandum on alleged excessive
prices for steel and iron products
which he prepared in 1919 for the di
rector general of the railroad admin
istration. This memorandum, which
has not heretofore been made pub
lic, was prepared by Mr. Williams in
his capacity as director of finance
and purchase of the railroad ad
ministration and apparently was the
bail's for the refusal cW the railroad
administration to agree to the scale !

In aualysizing the annual report
nf the United States Steel corpora
tion for the year, 1918, Mr. Wil
liams, in his memorandum prepared
in 1919, declares that the official
figures of the corporation show that
it charged during that year, for
every ton of its steel products, an
average of about SjQ more than was
necessary
to pay dividends on steel
stocks.
Earnings were so lare, Mr. Wil
lians declares, that the steel corpora
tion could, during the vear 1918. have
doubled the salaries of all wages paid
to its 268.710 employes and officers
and would have had a surplus left
over, of nearly ?100,000.000. .
Chester Identified
As Slayer of Girl in
Trial at Kansas City
Kansas City, Mo.. Feb. 26. How
ard Winter, companion, of Miss Flor
ence Barton, local society girl shot
to death on a lonely road near here
last October, testifying Friday at the
preliminary hearing of Denzel Ches
ter, identified Chester as the man
who fired the shots which caused
the young woman's death.
The case has attracted wide at
tention because of. the prominence
v the Barton family and because of
a sensational escape Chester made

IJow. Neb.. hile returning to Kan
sas City from Great Falls, Mont.,
where he w as arrested. The prisoner
was captured after a search of sev
eral days, fie made two efforts

crutches but showed no concern in
the proceedings.

' The "Omaha Waltz," written by
Horatio Nicholls, was played in
Omaha for the first time Friday
at a meeting" of the Kiwanis club.
The "Omaha Waltz" has taken
London by storm, according to a
letter to David Cole from Dr. N. C.
Mercer, who enclosed a copy of the

It being played in every music
ball, cabaret, dance hall and theater
in the great metropolis, he said.
Ever hear it? No? Well, it's
dreamy, it's peppy, it's soothing, it's
jazzy. And the cover of the music
is a work- of art, showing a woman
in classical attire, posed on the brow
of a high hill, stretching her arms

described as the busiest j
American in Paris Jler life is a
continual succession of tasks. (1
mtote Miss Alcyon Robins-on,
daughter of Helen 'Ring Robinson,
former state senator, of Colorado
Miss Robinson recently visited not
only Mrs. Wallace, but "a number
of the homes of America:' represen
tatives abroad," and published her
impressions.
"It is alwavs a busy d-'v tor r.ic,"
raid. Mrs. Wallace glancing at a pile
of letters when Miss Robinson en
ured. "That is only today's 'nail!"
She takes, even, 'a particular delight'
in answering those notes iron; Amer-
icans who come here, far away from
everything American. So
mothering ol unknowns may he taken
;is a part of the ambassador's wife's
work. A French secretary entered
flic room indication of anutlicr line
of letters and engagements. Her
popularity in France extends beyond
the diplomats, she is known for her
generosity to war funds and French
babies' holidays. 1 Also the beautiful
French residence of the Wallaces is
admirably adapted to receiving the
crowds of Americans tfho attend
Mrs. Wallace's "at homes," and the
big, functions which the ambassador
and his wife give on such days as the
Fourth of July.
Only Millionaires
"It any American believes that ihc
wife of the apibassador leads a pleas
ant life of ease and idleness, he is
mistaken," concludes Miss Robin
son. "Mrs. Wallace's program for
the day of my visit was typical a
wedding, two teas and a dinner."
"Strangely enough," the same
words ('It is always a busy day for
mel') were "the very words of Am
bassador Wallace himself." when
Miss Robinson took him the greet
ings of some American friends.
Doubtless, it is exact, in a way un
known to American ambassadors
before the war. The council of am
bassadors, alone Un which he takes
a 'very active debating part' has
often held as many as three sittings
per week; and his presence at all
kinds of extra-diplomatic functions
is continually solicited.
We arc called a practical people.
A new ambassador to France is
soon to be expected. The questions
arise: What docs this doubly, or
jointly, busy job pay? And what
kind of Americans arc eligible to
its honors and opportunities for pa.
triotic service?
The answer is millionaires only.
Once, an American ambassador
whom I ought not to name, even
today, paid the honor to" our little
rue Deves, in Neuilly. of coming out
in his limousine and spending the
entire morning going over, on sec
ond thought, some notes which he
had dictated to me the day prev
iously. ,
It Was Blue Penciled.
Many confidences were blue pen
ciled out. When all was over, not
half the notes remained; but I think
that I may now dip into them, with
discretion. The ambassaVlor. al
though very rich, felt that he had
spent more money in Paris than
was just or reasonable.
Each new coming ambassador will
have the same problems to face
until the United States provides at
least for a dignified embassy man
sion and its fixed changes in Pans.
The salary is $17,500.
' Ambassador Sharp, during a part
of his ternrr enjoyed an additional
$6,000 per year "for entertainment,"
which allowance was continued for
something over one year to Ambas
sador Wallace and then cut off, "for
lack of funds."'
Ambassador Bacon, who preceded
Ambassadors Herrick, Sharp and
Wallace, was probably the v:althiet
representative that we have had in
Paris for a Ion? time. He certain
ly spent between $100,000 and $150.
000 a year in keeping up the honor
of the flag.
Follows the Pace.
Ambassador Herrick had tnc
Bacon pace to follow. How much
he spent in doing it we do not
know; but it is said that he felt the
expense.
Ambassador Sharp, who was a
wealthy man, expressed himself
similarly.
Ambassador Wallace is doubtless
extremely wealthy. His entertain
ments in the Radziwill mansion of
the Place dTena have in no wise
fallen behind the grand traditions.
Some Americans think such ex
penses quite unnecessary.
On the other hand, it cost Ger
many $100,000 a year, before the
war to keep the German ambassador
at Constantinople, where he was
furnished summer residence, winter 1
palace and a yacht, and Germany
deems it good business. As a fact,
did she not drag unhappy Turkey
with her into world conquest?
Evidently there is a point of view.
Our American ambassadors have
not, perhaps, spent their private
with the
..... ,vrrc t,. maintain their
fulness a conmetitien highly 10
their honor.
Ougst to Support 'Em.
It is a i::-opiiins moment to sec
clearly. . .
As my blue-penciling ambassador
said to me privately:
"We ought not to establish em
bassies if we arc not prepared to
support thrni."
All the ambassadors of the greater
powers are abb to impose on the
Parisians (and on each other) with
garden parties ali except the Amer
ican ambassador !
These embassy garden parties
lend themselves admirably to the
social mixing that is yearly becom
ing more and more inpcrative.
"leoplc talk about simplicity,
said my ambassador. "If the other
powers had their ;;mbassadors living
the simple life hi Paris, it would be
ideal. But wc cannot reform thing',
all by ourselves; these usages have
groW-u up." "n
And again:
"It is not a question, "-of display.
No American ambassadors have
Vyed lavishly compared with those
of the other great powers. We have
tried; to do the needful thing."
Minister Morton in his day spent
$100,000 in doing-the "needful thing."
Whitclaw Rcid. also mere minister
to France, paid $13,000 a year for the
Grammont Palace, and he told me
in 1892, that his expenses were $80,
000 the least year and $120,000 the
greatest. Ambassador Porter rented
the Spitrer Palace at $10,000 and en
tertained to the. tunc of $60,000.
$12,000 a Year Rent.
Ambassador McCormick rented
two floors of a big house of the Quai
de Billy, from a regent "of the bank
of France. They were important
enough to entertain, having the priv
ilege of the regent's entrances and
exits for the equipages.
Ambassador White paid $12,000 a
year rent for the Kidgway mansion.
Ambassador Bacon took it over at
the same rent.
Ambassador Herrick followed suit.
Congress could have bought the
Ridgeway place in 190y for $250,000.
Ambassador White recommended it,
as a historical spot, and the embassy
commission backed him up. Later,
it could neither be rented nor pur
chased; and the new-coming Am
bassador Sharp was obliged to look
for another house. One of the
Ridgeway heirs. Count Gerard de
Ganay, had just bid for it for his
own residence, at a price of $400,000:
It could not be bought for double
that today t
So Ambassador Sharp rented,
ready furnished, the town house of
one Bartholin!, a retired Swiss art
collector, at "a no greater price"
than had bcen paid (always out of
their own pockets) by Ambassadors
Herrick and predecessors. It was a
war rent, very reasonable. There
was a small garden.
They Can't Understand
Ambassador Wallace rented
ished (down to the silverware'
sssn
rut class") the elcirant Rdil
house and garden uirlnc elHtarrtH
Place dTena. The rjns is not
known. It ought to be; Mrdcrablfe.
Certain American " congressmen
we will say, cannot understand whjfl
our ambassadors spend this money,
even if the ambassadors of the other
powers are able to do so arid, in a
sense, they are right. But imagine
one of them, himself, with all his in
experience, to be appointed ambassa
dor. "When he arrives in Faris or
London and finds himself confronted
at once with 40 or 50 invitations,"
explained my own ambassador, "he
is obliged to consider what he is go
infr to do. The invitations are from
official people,- Shall he accept them
and not repay -them? Or shall he
seem inexplicably discourteous and
refuse the invitations?
"Now, each French cabinet minis
ter lives in a palace. The French
government accumulated these pal
aces from the revolution. They can
seat in their dining rooms anywhere
from 60 to 250 guests, from the
Elysee down. Presidents of the sen
ate and chamber have tremendous
palaces. Accepting dinners, etc.,
from them, is it not necessary to his
country that the American ambassa
dor shall live in a mansion befitting
to return such courtesies?"
At Daily Disadvantage.
In Paris, business is done in en
tertaining. Under guise of a dinner
or. reception, things are done or said
that the American ambassador ought
to know. Without a grand embassy,
our man is at a disadvantage daily.
And we, too.
F"or example", there arc Americans
coming to Paris officially visiting
senators with a vague but real man
date: all kinds of government com
missions; congresses of surgeons;
chambers ot commerce and what not.
If you can have these people meet
at the embassy, those" with whom
they come to gc into relations, you
at once start the movement, it
ioiced: into competition
i gives them dignity. They are "sus-
taincd by the embassy."
j Quite apart from the idle absentee
; culony, there is now a great body of
Americans in Paris, earnestly cu
j gaged in business and professional
I life, furthering American trade and
other interests. It is the class to
which the British embassy threw
open its garden parties just before
the war. Purely the Amcwcan am
bassador should be in a position to
gather them around him at proper
tunes!
Ex-Presidents Come.
"Private Americans of importance
come to Pans, he said, and if the
.-.mbassador be of a social and
friendly nature he will have to enter
tain many such. It may be desig
nated as his pleasure; but oftentimes
it is necessary.
hx-presidents, governors, sena
tors, congressmen, cabinet ministers,
etc., send important people with let
ters and often come themselves.
'he letters .contain a request that
the ambassador show them some at
tention. Some should be introduced
to French personages.
"Such presentation of representa
tive fellow citizens," he said, "are
becoming more and more an embas
sy duty in the interest of good in
ternational understanding."
A similar reason! for grand em
bassy is that tjftw arJumerous so
cietieslike jWjfiiae4Wlcrique and
that of the Ecolc Politique which
it is becoming the ambassador's duty
to receive annually. Of course, he
is accredited to the French govern
ment, but if he can broaden his ac
tivities as does thcjfBritish ambassa
dor it is better fpr our interests.
See Results.
e see the results in Britain's
continued prestige, and sometimes
we grow "suddenly impatient and
scold, m it not better simply to
plav tlie game?
Tht is what, our millionaire am
bassadors have been doing.
What does it cost the ambassa
dor's private pocket?
, Entertainments, dinners, etc., cost,
say, $20,000 per year. The one item
of the ambassador's "free for hit"
Fourth of July fete runs into $2,000.
Mr. Wallace's reception to the
Knights of Columbus probably cost
as much.
The ambassador's wife receives
once a week in the season; and "it
is astounding how, she is criticised if
she does not do it well enough." At
the present gait, add $5,000 per year,
at the very least, for this item.
1 Add two automobiles "or his
wife will have to, go in a taxi."
Item, $5,000 yearly
All On $17,500.
Add the wages and uniforms cl
liveried flunkeys. butler, cooks,
scullions, chef and chef's aide, lady
housekeeper, eeonome. pantry
kecper, maids and valets, and his
wife's F'rench secretary, and you
fkid that the American ambassador
has a monthly "avroll between
$7,000 and $12,000 and more, if you
please for who can see his pocket.
And he has not paid his rent Jet!
Nor his clothes and his wife's
clothes!
Nor his furniture !
Nor his forced charities!
All to be paid out of $17,500 a
year!
This is why it will be only honest
for congress to get awake and act
immediately and purchase an em
bassy palace in Paris. An impor
tant item will be its furniture.
Its fixed charges, in any case,
should be provided for. On arriv
ing, the newconung American am-j
bassador should find the embassy!
residence a going concern, with ex- j
perienced housekeepers, eeonome I
chefs, butler, flunkeys, etc.. in their j
places. And he should have an j
ample cash allowance per yeatforj
"entertainments." j
Are only millionaires to be cligi-i
ble?
Must they buy the high office of j
American ambassador? !
