Expatriated Noblewoman Re- calls Days at Court of Last of the Czars. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Reno-bound wives of modern America will doubtless shrug scornful shoulders at the story of a Russian noblewoman who a century ago, followed into volun- tary exile her husband condemned for life to work in the mines of frozen Siberia. Preparing her memoirs, “From Exile to Exile,” at her modest apartment at the Montello, 1901 Columbia road, Mme. N. Rimsky-Korsakoff, widow of a for- mer vice admiral of the Russian Im- perial Navy, and a favorite niece of the great composer, Tchaikowsky, promises a fascinating and colorful tale of Russia under the Czars and Russia later, during the terror-filled days of the last revolution. Mme. Korsakoff includes in her memoirs the reminiscenses of her grandmother, Mme. Leo Davidoff, who for 25 years endured unspeakable hard- ships in Siberia in order to ease_ the sufferings and privations of her hus- band, a nobleman of the realm, con- demned to life of exile by Czar Nicolas 1, for his cipation in the “political rebellion of 1825. Returned to Russia. “I knew my grandmother very well,” sald Mme. Korsakoff. “She was a dear little old lady, and despite the 25 years she spent in Siberia, she returned to Russia after the death of my ther, and lived to the age of 92. Pressed to tell more about the story of the little grandmother, Mme, Kor- sakoff continued: “It is truly amazing to think of what she, and a number of other women at that time, lived through. In 1825, my grandfather with five others was sen- tenced to be hanged for political activi- ties against the Emperor, Nicholas I. My grandfather’s sentence of death was changed to one of life exile in 5 His estates were confiscated, and with destination Cheta, the eastern part of Siberia. He left behind him my grandmother, only 25 years old, and five children. “There were many nobles besides my {nnarather who were exiled at that ime, and the Csar issued a decree granting a divorce to all the wives of these men, with permission to remarry. My dmother always proudly re- call that not one woman of that ever agreed to accept this divoroe was offered to them. contrary, several, including the Princess Volsonsky and the Princess Troubez- kaya, besides my grandmother, planned to follow their husbands.

He and two of his brothers were later sent back to Russia to be educated, with the understanding that they would never be permitted to turn to their parents in Siberia. grandmother never saw my again until she returned to Russia an old lady.” Tells of Tchalkowsky. In addition to the memories of her grandmother, Mme. Korsakoff's memoirs will contain many interesting anecdotes of her famous uncle. “My mother was the only sister of Schaikowsky,” she sald. “My uncle and my mother were a devoted sister and and they saw a great deal of each other at the time my uncle was writing some of his greatest works. I also knew my uncle well—in fact, he very patient teacher,” she smiled. Many other vivid characters of old Russia’ will walk across the pages of Mme. Korsakofl’s book. In contrast to the bleak scenes of Siberian prison camps, as plctured by the author's grandmother, there will be visioned the glitter of court life under e P, ice sécre navy Mme.

She is of the group which feels certain that all of the arch duchesses, without tion of the Czar and his family at Ekaterinburg. Doesn’t Want to Return. “They were lovely girls,” recalled Mme. Korsakoff. “The two older ones were very different from the two younger. The younger ones were much their older sisters. more Russian . I think that Maria, the thitd one, was, the most beautiful of all. She had loveliest coloring I have ever seen.” Mme. Korsakoff's life as the wife of a naval officer led her to many of the world's far-away places. It was while her husband was in command of the naval forces at Archangel that the Russo-Japanese War was declared. Her experiences at that time down through the terrible days of the revo- lution in 1917, when the Korsakoff family had its estates confiscated by the Soviet government, and for six months Mme. Korsakoff lay in hiding, having been condemned to die by the Bolsheviks, are being recorded by the | Russian “exile” in the seclusion of her ‘Washington home. “Do 1 ever wish to return?” she smiled . “I do not think so— things would be s0 different now.

BUILDING TRADES EMPLOYMENT PEAK COMES IN SUMMER Minimum Period in January Found 5,700 Workers Busy in City. CENSUS FIGURES SHOW SEASONAL TREND HERE September Climax Followed by De- oline During Last Three Months, Says Morehouse. The number of workmen employed by 236 reporting operative bullders in the District of Columbia ranged from 5,700 on January 15, 1929, to a peak of about 8,500, or approximately 50 per cent more than the minimum, in July, August and September. These figures were made public today in preliminary statistics prepared by Dr. Alanson D. Morehouse, chief of the construction section, census of distri- bution in_the United States Census Bureau. Relating to the number of workmen on the pay rolls of the report- ing construction firms, on or near the 15th of each month, they show a distinctly seasonal trend in employ- ment of construction Tabor in the local fleld last year. The from July to September was followed by a decline during the last three months of the year to & level slightly higher than that of January. Total Lowest in January. Employment by general contractors was at its lowest point during the year in January. It increased gradually to a maximum of about 2,800 in August and September, and thereafter declined month by month until the end of the year. The total for all classes of sub- contractors, likewise, was lowest in Jan- uary, and, although there was little change in February, the rise thereafter was somewhat more rapid than in the case of general contracting firms, and the first high of the year was attained in July, with a slight decline in August. The maximum peak for the year was attained in September, followed by a general falling trend toward the end of the year. ‘The mwth-w—i‘-:ntl;“flpluymml :;- ported operative ers, on the other h:’xd. shows a distinctly different trend in that fleld from that already observed for general and subcontracting firms. The summary of employment data reported by 40 operative builders indicates that there was a considerable volume of construction work in prog- ress at the beginning of the year. The number of skilled and unskilled work- men reported on pay roll on the 15th of January was approximately twice as great as the number employed by these same firms on December 16. Building Projects Completed. As is generslly known to those fa- miliar with the construction situation within the District, several large build- ing projects were under construction at the beginning of 1929, which were com- pleted and ready for occupancy on or near the established rental date, Oc- tober 1. This situation is clearly re- flected in the trend of employment by operative builders, which started with about 1,700 workmen in January, in- creased to a peak of more than 1.900 in April and May, maintained a rela- tively high level through June. July and August and then declined steadily until the end of the year. Although the two classes of general contractors, for which reports have been included in the prelimary tabulation, are in distinctly different types of work, the general trend of employ- ment throughout the year is similar. ‘The 56 building contracting firms from which reports were received employed about 1,000 skilled and unskilled work- men in January. The total number on pay rolls of this group was about 12 per cent higher in February and March, increased another 5 per cent in April and maintained a slightly rising trend through May. The first marked in- crease of the year appeared in June, with another sharp increase in July and a less decided rise in August. The high point of the year, about 75 per cent above the low in January, was reached in September, followed by a regularly declining trend to the end of the year. Highway Level Highest in August. Data relating to general highway and street contractors show a higher level of employment in January than in Pebruary of 1929, but the activity of these firms increased somewhat sharply from March to a minor peak in May. A slight decline in employment during June and July was followed by a sharp increase to the highest point of the year in August, after which employment in that field fell off slightly during Sep- tember, October and November, and very sharply in December. Of the nine individual classes of sub- contrasting firms, the majority follow the general v-r’e of employment, at- taining a peak for the year in ether July, August or September. The firms engaged in plumbing, masonry, heating and excavating reached their highest point of activity in July; employment by firms engaged in electrical and ele- vator installation, and sheet metal, roofing and ornamental iron work was greatest in August, with another high in the month of November for the lat- ter class; painting, decorating and plastering, and marble and tiling em- ployment activity was at its height in September; while firms doing concrete and concrete form work alone reached a peak of employment in May, and an- other much lower one in October. The trend of employment of skilled and unskilled labor by plumbing sub- contractors is interesting in comparison with the indicated activity of operative builders and general building contrac- tors during the year. The total number of workmen on the pay roll of 33 re- porting plumbing firms varied between 535 and 787, the maximum being about 50 per cent higher than the minimum. ‘The number of workmen reported in- dicates the lowest period of activity in this trade about the middle of February. A minor peak appears in April, with a marked ine in May, and an in- crease to the highest point of the year in July. These two separate peaks of activity appear to be related to the height of activity of operative builders, indicated as occurring in April, May and June, and that of general building contractors, which spread over the three months of August, September and October. It is apparent from this cam- parison that the plumbing work re- ported on schedules ingluded in the preliminary tabulation closely con- nected with the activity of these two types of general contractors, emphasiz- ing the fact that the subcontracting trades depend largely for their employ- ment upon the activity of operative 'b;nlden and general building contrac- TS, A whic two year, is second subcontracting grade in 'h the employment figures indicate distinct th its during the con GIRL RESERVES Girl Reserves of the Y.

REPORTS DUE SOON ON RIVER SURVEYS Studies of Rappahannock| and Potomac Basins Made by Engineers. Report based on studies during the t several months in the Potomac and ippahannock River Basins were being completed today by United States en- gineers. They are scheduled to be submitted to Congress in December. The Potomac River Basin was com- pletely surveyed by the engineers, under the direction of Maj. Joseph D. Arthur, Jjr., district engineer for the War De- partment for the Washington area, and his predecessor, Maj. Brehon Somer- vell. As directed by Congress, irriga tion, navigation, flood control and hydro-electric developments were taken into consideration in the making of the survey. Maj. Arthur i now supervising the writing of the Potomac R.Iverr'.r:xon and this is expected to go fo to Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of Army engineers, around November 1. Recommendations concerning alleviation of the road-flooding at Bladensburg, Md., which occurs periodi- cally on the Washington-Baltitmore Boulevard during rainy weather, will be embodied in the Potomac River report. | Engineers recently made an investiga- tion of this situation, with a view to improving conditions along the Ana- costia River. The recommendations are being held confidential, the present. In the Rappahannock River Basin the | United States engineer office was au- thorized to make a survey for power only. The surveys are now practically | completed, E. J. Merrick, Jjr., civil engi- | neer in Maj. Arthur’s office, explained today. for form work group. Although there are| only nine such firms reporting, they show the highest yearly average of em- ployment for any group of fiims en-| gaged in specialized trades included in this tabulation. The maximum peak in this line of activity occurring in May, when the number of men em- ployed was from 16 to 22 per cent greater than for the adjacent month on either side, indicated a sudden and only temporary spurt of activity on the part of reporting firms. The second and lower peak, which occurred in Oc- tober, appears to have been more regu- lar in character since the number of workmen employed on October 15 was only from 1 to 3 per cent higher than during the two adjacent months. This exceptional mid-Spring activity to have been shared between two of the princi- pal reporting concreting firms, one of which showed a temporary decline, fol- lowed by renewed activity in the late Summer and early Fall, while the other showed a continued falling off of em- ployment from the May peak to the end of the year. b Subcontractors engaged in masonry and stone work are third in importance, if measured by the average number of workmen employed during the year. Employment in these trades s"fltd‘ from a comparatively low point in January and February, followed by sharp increases during the succeeding months until a peak of more than 900 workmen employed was reached in July. This high level was fairly well maintained in August, but a distinct decline occurred in September and October, with a slight recovery in November. A sharp down- | ward trend to the end of the year still | left the average number on pay roll in December more than twice as great as at the beginning of the year. The gen- eral trend in these two trades followed | somewhat closely the average for gen- eral building contractors as a whole. Remodeling Trend Shown. The trend of activity among the | painting, decorating and plastering sub- contracting firms revealed by their em- ployment figures turns an interesting sidelight on the repair and remodeling phases of the construction industry. Activity in these lines was at a low ebb during the first three months of the year, rising to a slightly higher level from April to July, and increasing more sharply in August and September, with a gradual easing off from that time to the end of the year. The sharp increase in employment from August 15 to Sep- tember 15 reflects the well known fact that the major part of painting and re- decorating of apartments and houses takes place almost universally at this time of the year just preceding the es- tablished releasing period, which dates from October 1. The trend of employment of skilled and unskilled labor by firms engaged in excavat! presents an interesting con- trast to t of the other subcontract- 3 would naturally be ex- pected, because of the nature of the work, the peaks of activity in this line tend to precede the high levels in other lines. The res for four excavating firms included in the preliminary tabu. lation show that s minor peak of ac- tivity occurred in March, while the highest point during the year was reached in July, followed by a rather sharp decline to the end of the year, when the number on pay roll was only two-thirds as great as during January and concrete and February. ~ GOTWALS, DAVISON | to hold a dinner each year in future. Policé Raid, Timed With Hold-up, Ends In 1 Death; 6 Shot By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 25— Three hold-up men and two plain-clothes policemen happened to select the same time last night to raid a card game in a Madi- son avenue cigar store. The re- sult was a shooting match in which a hold-up man was killed and six other persons, including & policeman were injured. The policeman found 25 men in the room, lined them against the wall and were waiting for a patrol wagon, when the hold-up men entered and ordered all to put up their hands. The policeman fired and their shots were answered by the rob- bers. One of the hold-up men dead where he stood and another fell wounded. Patrolman Hutchinson was shot in the leg. Four of the card players were ‘wounded. EMPLOYES HONOR | Entire Personnel of Building| Inspector’s Office Present | for Dinner. | ‘The entire personnel of the District building inspector’s office gathered last ' night at a dinner at the Continental | Hotel in honor of Engineer Commis- sioner John C.

Under the cusrent appropriation act, the staff has been greatly increased, and the dinner was designed as an op- portunity for developing acquaintance- ship among the old and new employes. Maj. Gotwals, in his address, de- plored the present walling about de- pression in a country “so wonderful that even if the dumbest race on the face of the earth had peopled it, they | couldn’t help getting rich.” He complimented the office and its employes and urged to pay par- ticular attention to the correct con- struction of the humblest of homes, so | that Washington would continue to be | an embodiment of the national aspira- n.

He said that a ’telt deal of blame was laid on the| orce for accidents not rly within its control. “If you see a 1 I-beam lying on the floor,” he said, “it's your business to see that it is of the cor- rect dimensions and com| ition.

This group of persons had been paid their old rate of an- nuity monthly, without any increase from the new law. No specific figures can be made pub- lic, it was explained, because, each one of the 1,270 persons will receive dif- ferent amounts, which will have to be computed by the new system, using various factors, including his years of service and compensation during any five years. ‘The Bureau of Pensions will not in- corporate into the regular monthly checks this back money, which will be computed from July 1, when the act became effective, but will issue sepa- rate checks for this purpose. Out of the total of 17,768 annuitants on the July 1. 1930, when the new retirement law became effective, it was learned that 14,217 cases have been | readjudicated, and it is hoped that the remainder may be readjudicated by the middle of December.
