14 GREENE TO HEAD PACIFIC COUNCIL New York Banker Is Elected | Chairman of Institute’s Governing Body. By the Associated Press. KYOTO, Japan, November 9.—Jerome D. Greene, New York banker, was | elected chairman of the Pacific Council, governing body of the Institute of Pa- | cific Relations, at today's final session | of the institute. Inazo Nitobe, member of the Jap- anese House of Peers, was elected first vice chairman and Newton Rowell of ‘Toronto, second vice chairman. Frank C. Atherton of Honolulu was re-elected treasurer. Shotwell Resigns. Prof. James T. Shotwell resigned as chairman of the international research committee and in his place Charles P. Howland of the Council of Foreign Re- lations in New York was elected the head of this committee, the most im- portant connected with the entire insti- tute. J. Merle Davis, general secretary of the organization at the Honolulu headquarters, resigned, but will continue until a successor is found to replace ‘The next biennial meeting of the In- stitute of Pacific Relations, in 1931, will | be_held in China. Dr. Nitobe, elosing the formal session, sald the conference had greatly aided | the 4rowing tendency among all Jap- anese people toward internationalism. He emphasized that Japanese newspa- pers have been friendly to the institute, ever though such questions as the Matwhurian problem had come up. Results Are Gratifying. “International conferences are hard to hold in Japan,” Dr. Nitobe said, “and for the first time we have tried here a big international conference. The gen- eral repercussion of the people of Japan has been more than we dreamed of. Scarcely any Japanesé paper has said anything disagreeable or deprecatory. There is a decided tendency among our people to progress in international thinking, even for the die-hards. There is no escaping internationalism This tendency has been greatly aided by this conference, and we have, therefore, good reason to thank the members of the conferences for what they have done for our country.” At a farewell luncheon today, at which the overseas delegates enter- tained their Japanese hosts, it was said by the leaders that the conference had at least promoted Chinese-Japanese un- derstanding, it remarked that so many prominent inese and Japan- ese leaders had not met before in the past 10 years. —_—— .

MARSDON. | As Princess of Wales Queen Mary devoted a great deal of time to her children and her home. ‘There was trouble at times with King Edward over the way she kept out of social engagements and the little en- | tertaining she and her husband did at Marlborough House. Once Queen Alexandra asked her to attend a big dinner party given by the | late Lord Rothschild, which the Qucen and King Edward were to attend. Wasn't Asked Often. The princess begged to be excused. A few hours later King Edward arrived and asked her to attend the party. The princess did not think it right to say “no” to her father-in-law. “Well, May,” said the King, “you refused to do what the Queen asked. I am glad you have not the face to re- fuse me.” But the princess created so much dif- ficulty about attending functions of this kind that King Edward did not often ask her. “It is too much like hard work getting | May to do what she does not want to do.” he remarked. | The Princess of Wales, however, | recognized that she must attend a cer- | tain number of functions and do a| certain amount of entertaining at Marl- borough House, and she did this in a thoroughly systematic way, allotting three days each month when in London t0 entertaining or attending social functions. The Prince of Wales left all such arrangements entirely in her hands. Marlborough House, when King George was Prince of Wales and he and his wife made it their London home, became a very different place from the days when it was the home of King Edward as Prince of Wales. A Determined Housekeeper. One of the first things Queen Mary | did when she became Princess of Wales was to request the commissioner of public works to come to see her. It must be explained that Marl- borough House, as the official residence of the heir to the throne, is kept in re- pair by the office of public works, & state department. The commissioner was taken in a lift | to a landing where the Princess of Wales awaited. She showed him three rooms ining each other. “1 wi these knocked into one,” said the princess. “I want to use them as a playroom for my children.” The commissioner bowed, took out his notebook, and said he would bring “your royal highness’ wishes before the treasury, which will no doubt take steps as soon as possible to obtain the consent of Parliament to carry out the proposed work.” Wants Action in Week! “But I want the work begun next week,” said the princess. that r_after examination. He issued five certificates here. Commissioner Quickly ; That Her Orders Demand Action, Regardless of Custom. | of certain arrangements in the kitchens The commissioner gasped. In the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. NOVEMBER 10. QUEEN, AS PRINCESS OF WALES, Learns first place the request to make any structural alteration in a dwelling that was state property was almost un- heard of. The consent of the cabinet certainly would have to be obtained, and there was the question of the cost, which would, of course, have to be granted by a vote in the House of Commons. It would be at least six months before the preliminary steps could be taken. But the commissioner did not under- stand the woman he had to deal with. ‘The princess listened to his explana- tion and then sald: “Well, I shall have the work started next week myself. As the office of works will most decidedly have to pay for it in the long run, I would prefer that your officer undertake to carry out the work, rather than myself.” The commissioner left, and in 4 days he had obtained consent of the treas- | ury to starting the work. Never again | did the office of works raise objections to werk the princess desired at any of the royal palaces. A Flabbergasted Chef. They had a first-rate chef at Marl- borough House, with three assistants. The chef cooked only dinner, and did not as a rule arrive at Marlborough House until about 6 in the evening. His assistants prepared lunch and tea and any other meal that might be required. | One evening. when the chief chef | arrived, he heard that the princess had come down to inspect the kitchens that day. The ~chef nearly fainted from | astonishment. That the princess should eam of coming into what he called y kitchens” staggered him. Then anger overcame his astonishment. No one, not even the Princess of Wales, should be allowed into his kitchens without his consent. But after dinner that night the chef received another shock. The princess desired to see him. For a moment he hesitated, then went to the princess in her boudoir. The chef ‘was bidden to sit down, and then he listened to frank | criticisms, spoken in his native French, | the princess disapproved.

Four days later, May 8, 1910, King Edward died and the Princess of Wales pecame Queen Mary of England. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.) | (Next: A Queen Retaliates).

Detective Fights Suspect in Peril’ In Subway Tube Two ‘Stop Battling Long Enough to Dodge One Train. ‘ By the Associated Press.
